LIKE RAINBOW IN THE SEA
GIoriousIy Tinted Water That Washes
Bermuda's Shores Is an Ever
Fascinating Marvel.

Hundreds of miles from any coast,
surrounded on every side by the rest
less surges of the great Atlantic
mere speck In a waste of scales
Bermuda. While not strictly one of
the West Indies, yet its fauna and
flora, its products and its formation,
are so similar to many of the Antilles
that we may well consider 1t as a
West Indian island gone astray, and
set down-or rather pushed up-a
thousand miles and more from its fell
lows.
If the ship arrives at Bermuda by
daylight there Is ample opportunity
for the visitor TO view the island as
the vessel steams slowly along the
northern shores and threads her way
through the tortuous channel between
sharp-fanged reefs toward Hamilton.
Perhaps nowhere else in all the
world Is there such gIoriously tinted
water. indigo where deep, azure and
sapphire nearer shore, opalescent tur-
quoise In the shadows, and marbled
with royal purple and amethyst where
reefs and cOrals dot the white sand of
its bed, the sea that laps Bermuda's
shores is an ever-changing, ever-fasci-
mating marvel; a thing of wondrous
beauty impossible to describe in words
or to reproduce in pigments.-A. Hyatt
Verrill in ''The Book Of the West
Indies"

Real sea serpen4s.

The Indian ocean and the waters
OF the tropical Pacific are inhabited
by great number of wholly aquatic,
veritable sea serpents that possess
deadly fangs. and sometimes swim In
schools of countless thousands. These
snakes have a paddle-like TAN. to as
sIst them in swimming. An of4shoot
of this species is the sub-family con-
tanning the formidable cobras and their
allies, according to Raymond Ditmarz,
curator OF reptiles at the New York
zoo. who are treacherously deceptive
in appearance. All of the very large
serpents are members OF a single fam
lly-the Boldea. None is poisonous,
and the members of this family kill
their prey by construction.

Ants euard Treea.

The Cecropias are remarkable trees,
very widely distributed throughout the
tropics. Their slender trunks are
crowned with four leaves at the ends
Of the branches. a few active ants
run continually along the branches
and leaves, but If the tree is. shaken
slightly an army Of ants rush out by
small apertures. ready for a savage as
sault on the intruder. This is the
most terrible guardian that the tree
has retained TO protect it from its
most formidable enemy the "leaf
cutter" ant. The defenders rarely
leave their retreat, where they live on
small whitish egg-shaped bodies about
one-twelfth Of an inch long. known as
Mueller's corDnscIas.

The Horse of ThirtyFive.

Study Of the relation between the to-
tai length of life and the time required
to reach maturity has brought out an
interesting comparison between men
and horses. A. horse at five years old
is said to be, comparatively, as old as a
man at twenty, and doubtless may be
expected to behave, according to
equine standards. after the manner OF
the average college student following
human standards A ten-year-old
horse resembles, so far as age and ex-
perience go, a man of forty, while a
horse that has attained the ripe age OF
thirty-fve Is comparable with q man OF
ninety.-New York Evening Pest.

ABSURD NAMES WORK HARM
May Be Witty, But They Too F~-
quentIy Tend to Put Community
In 0isrepute.

Ereakish and absurd names given
TO communities, villages and counties
by some Waggish wit In the primitive
times, have way of persisting. cling
Ing 20 the community, so that Ii is
most difficult to get rid of them when
new people have succeeded to resi-
dence there. Some Of these absurd
names are so ridiculous they harm the
community, tending at all times to put
1t in disrepute, make 1t a jest and
byword.
All over the country are to be found
places where the old-time wit left his
contribution Of harmful Ievfty. against
which the community struggles. In
the northern part of Missouri was a
little community that was given, in
the days before the war, the rather
startling name of Burnshirt. The
name grew out of an incident that
took place when some bfg-geme hunt
ers We're eneamped at the settlement,
The name appealed TO the risibilities
of the community and for two genera
tons it was compelled to bear that
name. It had a small degree Of com
fort from the fact that a lesser com
munity, hard by, had won the name
of Pinhook. Hooppole township in
Posey county, Indiana, is quite the
most widely known of any township
in the HoOsier state yet strangers

RAILROADS WANT LOADING
 CHARGE ON CATTLE AGAIN

The corporation commission heard and took under advisement an appli- cation by the Santa Fe railroad com pany for charge of $1 a car for loading and unloading cattle and feed ing them except at public stockyards. The charge would be divided into two 50-cent items, representatives of the railroad company said. It was brought out that charge of $1.25 a car for caring for unattended cattle had been made for years past, and, when the road passed under federal control, the same charge was authorized. It was overlooked, however, when the tariff was printed.
 The company now sought, therefore to get the charge back into use but with reduction of 25 cents a car. It was testified at the hearing that there were no public stockyards in Arizona.

FRIEND LEAVES SHELL IN
 GUN; GIRL DIES FROM SHOT

The friend who had borrowed the gun returned it to the Ochoa home. Mrs. Ochoa was in the yard watching the playing of large crowd of children. The gun was given to her and she placed it in her lap. A few minutes elapsed and the gun was exploded. The full blast of the shot went into the crowd of playing chill dren, killing seven-year-old Matilde and wounding Modesto Quintero.

BATTERY "A" MAY GO
 TO FL PASO IN JANUARY.

Discussing the work of the encamp- ment at Douglas, Col. John J. Bon iface said the troop had proved very efficient, capable of hard work and it's enthusiasm high. Col. Boniface is national guard inspector-instructor for Arizona and New Mexico. "We hope to be back in camp at Dauglas next year with. 1900 men," he said. In connection with plans for battery A, First field artillery, Arizona national guard, to go to: Fl Paso in January for a 15 days camp of instruction, he said that unit would have been order ed to camp here if there had been as much as battery of field artillery stationed here.

THERE WILL BE NO
 GAMBLING HESITATE FAIR

"No gambling of any kind will be tolerated at the state fair this year." was the statement emphatically given out by the state fair commission. It was further announced that the entire machinery of the sheriff's office would see that the state laws with respect to gambling are not violated.
 This year, as last, the policing of the grounds will be under Sheriff John J. Montgomery and a small army of deputies, and this year, as last, every effort will be made to prevent book making and other methods of wager laying.
 Charges that bookmaking was wink ed at last year, and that those Con the inside" profited thereby are charac- terized as false and absurd by the fair management, which in commenting on the situation stated:
 With a daily attendance of 10000 or more it is difficult to secure enforce ment of the law to the letter. Clearly it would be impossible to devise any system whoich would prevent two in dividuals from betting the cigars or a box of candy on the outcome of the race, or making individual wagers that they might agree upon, for that mat ter. At the same time it is the aim of the management absolutely to prevent bookmaking, and if this evil is stamp ed out horse racing is as clean a sport as foot racing or auto racing, or foot ball games or basketball or any other contest on the outcome of which large sums are sometimes lost or won.
 "1t has been the one aim and am- bition of the fair commission to pre- sent clean sports and clean entertain ment. despite the criticism which has arisen in some quarters. Some of these criticisms are so absurd they are not worthy of attention. The charge, for instance, that those on the inside prof ited from the racing program last year is absolutely false. No member of the fair commission and no race of ficial had a single horse on the grounds, nor was interested in any way in the horses entered for the vari-

 ROSS FOR NOMINATION

Fred c. Struckmeyer and L. B. Whitney have been retained as coun- sel by Charles de Sales Wheeler to take charge of contest against Harry s. Ross for the democratic nomination for secretary of state.
 Following the discovery of an alleg- ed discrepancy in figures of the unof- ficial and official returns in Yavapai county detectives have been sent into Yavapai for the purpose of making thorough investigation of the situ- ation.
 According to Wheeler, Mitt Simms does not look with favor upon his nomination, for the reason that it would be to his advantage to have Ross as a member of the land board

 "The charge that there was 'an orgy of gambling along the pike is equally absurd and untrue.
