According to naturalist. serpents. in
spite of their reputation for alertness.
are very shortsighted. Some of them
cannot see more than yard or two In
front of them. Other reptiles are SINH.
larry deficient in sense of vision. and
the authority asserts that crocodile
cannot see man at greater distance
than six times its own length. In re-
spect of hearing. many reptiles are
even more deficient than in sight.
Some serpents are deaf. the boa. 1t is
said. being unable to hear any sound.
The term deaf adder" consequently
expresses fact. In one respect some
reptiles show singular acuteness. They
have an unerring instinct for water
and in dry weather will travel straight
to 1t. even when they are at such long
distances that the mystery is how they
could possibly become aware OF its
locality

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
II IL Said to Have the Most Trying
Climate In the World.

NNmotS IN Nuo "oVlos
The chief popularity about Kurna Is
that the natives believe the place
where they live is the exact site of the
garden Of Eden.
The climate of Kurna Is acknowl-
edged to be the most trying in all the
world The heat is terrific in the sum
mer time. 1t is claimed that the Brit
ish government has record Of $50
degrees In the shade upon the bridge
Of Il boat anchored In the river at
Busreh. little to the south.
The missionaries at Busreh tell of
nights when the thermometer regis
tiers not less than 1875 degrees. British
sailors bound for the Persian gulf in
the summer time usually desert II they
can. Perhaps in Arizona the thermom-
eter rises nearly as high. but there is
the dry air. while In the Persian gulf
1t is exceedingly moist
The Europeans at Busreh must pass
the days In underground chambers, or
serdaubs. while, native boy pulls q
huge fan. or punkah. suspended from
the ceiling to keep the air in circula-
tion. The nights are spent on the
roof. for 1t Is impossible to sleep be-
low.
In the winter time the air seems ex-
ceedingly cold. for the marshes are
filed with salt. and as the wind
sweeps over the plain the moist air is
peculiarly penetrating. Frequently

Ganges when the natives brought In

did. so 1t was determined to kill the
creature. 1t was hauled out of the
tank and tied to n tree. Bullets from
a small rife or an ordinary twelve bore
gun seemed only to irritate the sau
rian. and he did not seem to care very

down bis throat. Finally they were
obliged to get axes and chop Oh its
head. Even then the tail thrashed
around. and the body was almost cut
to pieces before all movement ceased"
