SNAKES ONCE WERE LIZARDS
Like Everything Else In the World
They Have Undergone Form
If Evolution.

Northumberland that word In
cludes almost all modern scientists
declare the snake, as we know 1t today,
is merely the offspring of the lizard.
The family is traced back hundreds Of
thousands of years to time when one
of the semi-Sea monsters craWled out
on the land and elected TO stay there.
Among the species was one with very
short legs. AS he numbered along over
the ground he discovered that by fiat
tenlng his belly to the ground and
working his ribs that the leverage thus
gained helped him along faster.
He came to depend more and more
upon this method Of movement and
nature took its usual course in elm
mating organs or limbs not In use.
The low lizard lost its legs and be-
came q crawler. AS the centuries
passed natural selection left these with
long bodies, as they could move faster
than the ones with the short bodies,
and therefore the breeding soon be-
came matter Of length until the
snake as we know 1t today resulted
Another species remained in the wa
ter great deal but crawled about the
bottom, and from that came something
that we would today call a sea SER
pent, creature about 40 or 90 feet
long, with wide and tooth-armed jaws.
1t has been extinct for many centuries.

RETAIL CLERKS
Assess Themselves For La
Dor Temple Stamps

The Retail Clerks Union, Local No.
119, held busy session Monday night
in the labor temple The big thing
Of the session was the report Of the
committee on agreement who had
been authorized to meet with the
merchants and draft hourly cdndi-
tions for the future. The committee
reported that an agreement had been
reached which was to be signed and
extend for three years. They report
ed that the merchants in consideration
of an agreement signed for three
years would close their stores at 5:30
each evening except Saturday, instead
of 5:45 as they now do. The COM
mittee reported that they had ac-
cepted this proposition The action
of the committee was approved.
The clerks also voted to assess
themselves 25 cents each quarter or
81 per year for labor temple fund
stamps. Some time ago the local
was asked to vote on a 60-cent assess
ment and this was passed. The local
acted unanimously as quick on the
81 proposition. When it comes to
boosting the cause along the clerks
are there.

STAMP GUM FROM POTATOES
That Vegetable the Foundation OF
Sticky Substance That is Used
or Postage Stamps.

Every time a person licks a United
States postage stamp he gets q taste
of sweet potato. The gum on the
stamps comes from that vegetable All
of the gum used on the stamps is
mixed at the bureau OF engraving and
printing, where the stamps are made.
Ii is spread on the sheets after the
stamps have been printed.
In a liquid form, the gum is forced
up through pipes from the basement,
where it is made. These pipes lead
TO q series of machines consisting OF
rollers between which the sleets
stamps are fed one at time. A fine
spray Of the liquid falls upon the roll
ers. The sheet with its wet coating
of sweet potato mucilage passes from
the rollers into long horizontal fiue
filed with hot air When 1t comes
out at the other end of the fiue the
gum IS dry.
There are two kinds Of postage
mucilage. If one could see the pack
ages Of stamps as they come to the
postoffice ready to be sold, one would
find them labeled according to season,
summer gum" or winter gum" The
former is much the harder Of the two,
and was devised TO keep the stamps
from getting sticky In warm, moist
weather.

CARPENTERS STRIKE
Following Refusal of Some
Contractors to Accede to
Demands For Increase
in Wages
One Half of Carpenters In
The City Are Idle

About one-half the carpenters of
Hamilton are idle and walking the
streets. This condition is due to the
unwillingness of some of the con-
tractors of the city to make any con-
cessions whatever to The carpenters
Perhaps this statement does not
cover the subject exactly 1t is not
due altogether to unWillingness that
some of the contractors referred to do
not sign UP with the Carpenters
Union so much as fear of arousing
the ill-Will of some Of the other CON
tractors. The question of coming to
some sort Of understanding and
agreement rests with a very few of
the contractors lin fact--it is said by
some of the workmen that the whole
matter really rests with one man
That this one man, who is at the head
of one of the city's biggest contract
ing firms, is the bell cow in the move
ment, and just whichever way he
jumps the others follow, and that just
as soon as he gets ready to sign up
it will be all over with.
The contractors are spending much
money in advertising in appeals to
the public and to the union men tc
see only their (the contractors) side
of the story. The public, judging
from expressions heard, is not to be
hoodwinked in this matter. The pub
lie and the union men say that the
money spent on advertising would go
a long ways toward meeting the de-
mands of the workers.
The carpenters originally demanded
that the wage scale be raised to 81
per hour, but since then have offered
to accept 80 cents as basis of hour,
ly wage. The contractors, however.
ask for rs cent scale and refuse to
bulge an inch from this stand. The
old agreement expiring and no AUST
ment reached, there was nothing else
for the carpenters to do but lay down
their tools. Contractors employing
about one-half the total number OF
carpenters in the city readily signed !

CROW MADE SHIP ITS HOME
Treated Kindly by Sailors, Bird De-
clned to Leave Vessel When
1t Reached Port

Many years ago, as the whaling
ship Diana was returning from voy-
age IN the Arctic ocean, her captain
and crew were surprised one day TO
see crow, in a state of great exhaus-
tion, futter into the rigging. The
nearest land was more than 200 miles
away, 50 such visitor was quite un-
expected.
With great care and gentleness the
bird was caught, and after receiving
as much attention as any storm-tossed
traveller would require, 1t was offered
It's liberty again. But, though thor
oughly restored to health and vigor, 1t
refused TO leave the ship. With loud
caws of contentment it would hop
about the deck as though that were
it's real home, and when darkness set
tied down upon the ocean, it retired
into the rigging there to roost as COM
fortably as any of It's stay-at-home
relations among their leafy elms.
When the Shetland islands were
reached the captain of the Diana sent
his feathered passenger on shore, nat
urally thinking that this would be In
accordance with Its wishes; but the
next day, when the ship was 40 miles
farther Oh the route TO Hull, and was
quite out of sight, the sailors saw a
dark speck in the sky which grew and
grew, till, to their astonishment and
delight, the passenger they had left
behind tiuttered joyously on board.

Washington. - Between elections

"If our chosen law makers are to

Therefore, there can be no inherent
improperly in any citizen or body
of citizens laying before congress at

HAVE THEIR TIME TO FALL
Nature Has Made Provision for the
Parting Of the Leaves From
the Parent Tree

One Of the most beautifu1 processes
In nature is the fall Of the leaf This
is not, as Is commonly supposed,
brought about by the inclement wealth
er Of the autumn, says a well-known
authority. For the underlying cause
one must look deeper.
Soon after the leaf appeared in the
spring preparations were being made
for its fall. Across the base Of the
stalk there grew inward a partition
of special cells, known to bontanists
as the layer Of separation" AS the
season advances these cells become
modified and weakened so that a
springy cushion Is formed Eventual
ly the mere weight Of the leaf may
be sufficient to bring about the sever
ance of the organ which the tree no
longer requires.
Before the leaf actually falls 1t
surrenders all that 1t possesses In the
way of sugar and more complex stuffs.
This passes back into the tree to be
stored away in the stems.
