SNAKES HAVE LARGE 'LITTERS'
Boa Constrictors in Captivity, Gave
Birth to Sixty-Four Living Young
Others Prolific.

-e Z
The sixteen-foot Trinidad anaconda,
or water boa, at the London Geologic
al gardens, not long ago gave birth to
twenty-four young ones. The new
born snakes were twenty-sfx inches
long and about an inch in diameter
at the thickest part of the body.
In color and marking they resembled
the adults-that is, they were of
dark greenish hue with black spots.
That number of young had been ex-
ceeded by a seventeen-fOot snake at
the New York Geological park, which
produced thirty-four young. Still an
other anaconda has been known to
produce thirty-seven at a birth, and a
large specimen of boa constructor gave
birth to sixty-four living young. The
pythons differ from the boas in that
they lay eggs and coil around heap
of them until they hatch. An official
of the New York Zoo says that the
pythons produce from fifty to a hun
dred eggs at time, and a specimen
of python reticulatus deposited sixty
eggs, about which she coiled, and from
which she fought off all intruders, but
her efforts proved of no avail, for the
eggs were infertile.

FIT MATE FOR DARING OUTLAW
AenId Marion by No Means the Least
Valued Member Of Robin Hoods
Brave Band &.

Belonging to that shadowy band of
characters who hover somewhere In
the borderland between fact and fic-
ton, Maid Marion and Robin Hood,
whimsical, charming, picturesque peo-
pie of medieval England, deserve a
chapter in the history Of happy lovers.
Marion was beautiful, graceful lit
tie maid, loving the erranf Robin with
all her youthful heart. She helped
him In his self-appointed task of rob-
bling the rich to aid the poor. and was
a thorough little out-of-doors creature.
No forest hardships were too much
for her. She excelled in archery, was
a fleet runner and, in fact, was splen-
did In every form of sport.
But Marion's family, SO the story
goes, objected to her union with the
countrywide reprobate, and every eff
fort was made to force her to wed a
middle-aged man whom she did not
love.
However, the jolly band Of Robins
followers, by employing their ever
ready wits, succeeded in foiling pa
rental plans. Robin Hood and maid
Marion lived together in the woods
many happy years, known always as
the enemies of the rich and selfish
anu the friends of the poor and needy.

BRINGING BOARDERS TO TIME
Woman Employs Gossip as Medium
for Getting Delinquents to Set
tie Their Bills.

Many and various are the schemes
employed by boarding house keepers to
spur collections from delinquent board
ers. The latest is to take gossiping,
the boarders' own most popular indoor
sport, and use it against them.

clared an exponent of the new system.

Websters Lost Opportunity.

Daniel Webster, expounder of the
Constitution, great senator and elo-
quent orator, had set his heart on be-
coming chief magistrate of the Ameri-
can republic. ALI efforts to secure
the presidential nomination proved
abortive. He could have had the
nomination for the vice presidency in
1910 by simply indicating his willing
ness to accept. Disdainfully he brushed
the suggestion aside. He considered
himself above playing second fiddle
with William Henry Harrison. Had
he been equipped with more self-abne-
cation than haughtiness he would have
accepted, and had he done so he would
have become President April 8, 1S41,
an even month after the Inauguration
of Tippecanoe and Tyler, too, as a
result of Harrison's death.

Roosevelt a Bird Lover.

Roosevelt's first appearance in the
editorial columns of New York news
paper was probably that in the Eve
ming Post of February %, 1873. Roose-
welt was then a sophomore at Har-
ward, eighteen years old. The Evening
Post devoted long editorial to the
question whether the English sparrow
had been a benefit or pest. It men,
toned a recent discussion of the SUBJ
ject at an pathological club in Cam
bridge, Mass, saying: "Mr. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., of this city, gave the
birds credit for doing some good, but

Diamond Rivers.

The geological formation Of the ia
nous diamond region in the state Of
Bahia, Brazil, shows that at some
time in the history Of the world the
mountains there were thrown up by a
hot mass and the carbon in the stone
crystalized into gems. 1t was, in eff
feet, an electric furnace on a gigantic
scale. In Brazilian diamond mining
natural water courses play an impor-
tant part. Water and the weather
gradually disintegrate the rocks, and
the diamonds are washed down into
gullies and the beds of rivers, whence
they are recovered by the miners. In
some places divers are employed to
work at the bottom of the rivers, fill
ing sacks with silt that contains the
diamonds. The river beds are rich
in precious stones which cannot be ex-
tracted advantageOusly, If at all, by
the methods now in vogue.

Prometheus.

The word Prometheus, the name Of
character In Grecian mythology,
means forethought, and forethOught is
the father of invention. According to
the Grecian tradition, Prometheus
taught man the use Of fire, and In
structed him in architecture, astron-
omy, mathematics, writing, rearing
cattle, navigation, medicine, the art
OF prophecy, working metal, and, In
deed, every art known to man. The
tale Is that he made man of clay,
and, In order to endow his clay with
life, stole fire from heaven and
brought it to earth through a hollow
tube. Zeus, who in Grecian mythol-
ogy corresponded to Jupiter in the
Roman mythology, in Furnishing Pro
'metheus, chained him to rock, and
sent an eagle to consume his liver
daily. During the night it grew again,
and thus the torment Of Prometheus
was ceaseless, until Hercules shot the
eagle, and unclaimed the captive.

When Lincoln Praetiesd Law.

Once in the old courthouse at Meta
mora, H., a prominent citizen of the
town sought Lincoln's advice because
a neighbors' pigs were in his cornfield.
Then no one had fences, and pigs
were privileged property. After lis
tening to the mans grievance, Lincoln
said: "Well, you will have to civilize
both the man and his pigs" Another
leading resident of those early days
waited until Lincoln was through
speaking to inquire what he had bet
ter do about bad debt. Lincoln
asked how much money was at stake
and upon finding that the sum was
$50 remarked: "Well. just throw it at
him. A man can't go through court
for $50"

WHY HER WATCH GOES WRONG
Various Causes Given for undeubted
Fact That Woman's TImepiees 10
Generally incorrect. A&I

Punctuality is said to be the virtue
Of kings, but not Of women The lat
ter will not, however, admit their lack
of 1t. But when lady has kept a
mere man waiting for her AZ iAden-
nitely long time her excuse, cynics de-
clare, is really at hand: my watch
must be wrong" And, strange to say,
this reason given as an excuse, differ
ent from other excuses, Is almost al
ways valid. The watches OF women
are much less exact than those OF
men.
An Englishman, Herbert Duke, who
occupied himself with this problem in
profound speculations, thinks he has
traced it to it's source. He has OBJ
served that the same watch, when
worn by his wife, runs very irregu-
larly, whereas when worn by him it
is perfectly correct. Nov, how is
it," he asks, "that so many women
have such baleful influence on
watches?"
Certainly much is due to the fact
that to women the watch is a less
necessary tool of life than a beautiful
adornment; that they care more for
its looking elegant on the wrist than
for it's being right; that they handle
carelessly and inconsiderately this deli
cate apparatus.
But there must be another more po-
tent cause. 1t has been observed that
the electricity contained in the human
body exerts direct influence on the
delicate mechanism of the watch. 1t
may be that the small form of wom-
ans watch renders it very sensitive
to the electromagnetic influence that
emanates from the body.

Exercise for Blood Pressure

Certain vigorous exercises are dis
tinctly beneficial in most cases Of too
high blood pressure. At a recent
meeting Of the New York Academy Of
Medicine DIR. G. Ward Champion de-
scribed his favorite treatment Of this
trouble, which included regular exer-
else.
In the earlier stages the following
program was advised: 1. Morning ex-
ercise, II minutes 2. Walk three
quarters Of an hour; 3. Vigorous ex-
ercise with sweating three times a
week; 4. In the open half a day.
In advanced cases the exercise
should be milder. OF course, exercise
is only part of the general treat
ment, and there are many cases in
which it should not be given, especial
~ those in which the heart and kid
neys are seriously involved.
