HONOLULU is UPSET
BY A WEE SNAKE
LITTLE REPTILE OF GARTER
VARIETY FIRST EVER SEEN
IN THE ISLAND.

HONOLULU, T. H.-When Mrs.
Iichi Kprihura stepped out of the
front door of her home a few days
ago she saw a small snake crawling
across the walk. Her screams aroused
the neighborhood and soon crowd
collected in the yard and street.
1t was the first snake ever. seen in
the Hawaiian Islands, and, naturally,
not only the natives but hundreds Of
others who had never seen a reptile
were excited. The snake basked in the
sunshine that came through the frOnds
of the cocoanut trees, seemingly quite
unconscious of the great stir it had
created. In the crowd were Japanese
Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos, Portu-
guese, Fijians, Samoans, Hawai1ahs
and a few white people.
Soon the news OF the discovery had
spread and the throng Of people kept
growing larger rapidly. Suggestions
were made that the police should be
sent for to kill the snake, and this
was about to be done when Manuel
Barcellos, a brawny Filipino, stepped
forward. He had a short stick in his
hand.
Il will kill heem," he announced.
Cries of warning from the specta-
tors did not deter him. He turned and
boosted:
Have | not killed in Cebu many
snakes; so big, many of them" and
he circled his arms to the diameter Of
a big boa constructor
Barcellos then walked up to the lit
tie snake and struck a blow which
crushed its head He was the hero of
the day! The crowd closed in and for
several hours the snake was OH dis
play. 1t was viewed by thousands Of
Hawaiians and other people of the is
lands, who had never before seen a
snake-it was the talk of the city.
Federal officials here were notified
that a snake had been killed here. The
snake was sent to L. A. Whitney, in
spector of agriculture and forestry
who was unable to determine definite
ly the species to which it belonged. 1T
was then sent to Bishops Museum in
where it was classified as
of the common garter snake variety

At the request of President D. C..
Hull, of the Southern Agricultural
Workers Association, a special com
mittee was appointed to visit various
places in the south, observe and re-
port on the authentic tests being car
ried on in the use of different meth
DDS of boil weevil control.
This committee has made prelimi-
nary reports to President Hull who
is also president of Mississippi Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college. The
report is released by President Hull
for public information
The committee visited Florida,
Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi,
Alabama and Louisiana and observed
large number of tests in which many
kinds of methods were employed.
The report recommended early de
struction of green cotton stalks. Ap-
plying poison before squares form,
either by the use of calcium arsenate
dust or calcium arsenate incorporated
in a molasses mixture, was advised.
When cotton begins to bloom and
thereafter until the crop is made the
committee favors using calcium ar

HASN'T ROOM FOR
ALL OF HIS GIFTS
PRESENT. TO COOLIDGE
RANGE FROM BEAR TO ON
IONS. MANY DOGS.

WASHINGTON, D, C-The pres
ident probably rejects more offers Of
gifts than any one else in the United
States. Every week Mr. Coolidge
turns down scores OF offers of almost
everything ranging from animals Of
all sorts to specially prepared foods.
Sometimes Mr.. Coolidge accepts the
gifts offered, when he can use them
to good advantage. But he does not
believe that it would be right for him
to receive the presents and then give
them to some one else. He has been
compelled recently to refuse accept
ance of hundreds of valuable dogs be-
cause there is no place at the white
house to keep them.
Since Mr.. Coolidge has been in the
white house he has accepted six pres
ents in the way Of pets. Two were
kittens, two dogs, one a peacock and
the other a grizzly bear. The cats,
dogs and peacock are at the white
house now The president probably
decided that in order to maintain peace
in the animal family at the white
house it would be better to keep the
bear in some other place. At any rate
he had it taken to the Washington zoo.
Mr.. Coolidge probably receives
more books than any other single ar
ticle Nearly every mail carries to the
white house a book that some admir-
er of the president has read and liked
and decided to send on to the chief
executive Often these books are sent
to the president by the authors. Some
of the books Mr.. Coolidge keeps while
or other city libraries. Mr. Coolidge
Some Send Vegetables.
Small gifts of vegetables, fruits of
all kinds and flowers are received
daily at the white house. Often when
a farmer raises particularly fine crop
of peaches he sends basket of them
to the white house, probably on the
theory that the best is none too good
for the president.
Sometimes the gift is onions, let
tuce, or other vegetables. If the gift
is not too bulky the president usually
accepts it and uses it on the white
house table Parcels of flowers come
to the president from all parts of the
country, chiefly from the growers,
who are so proud of them that they
desire them to grace the white house,
even if only for a short time,
But there are many persons who
offer gifts to the president for the
sole purpose of advertising themselves
or the article. This is true of some
manufacturers of food products. But
these gifts are seldom sent to the
white house. The president s asked
by letter if he would accept the gift.
In almost every case Mr.. Coolidge
declines.
Every Thanksgiving the president,
wherever he is, receives a fine turkey
for his dinner. Usually the turkey is
one that has won high honors for its
good qualities, breeding, etc. OF
course, each year there are offers
made of more than one turkey to the
president. He accepts only one.
In fact, presidents have been receiv-
ing turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner
SO long that it has almost become a
tradition.

QUEER CARGO HERE
FROM AUSTRALIA
WOMBATS AND TASMANIAN
DEVILS COME OUT OF SHIP.
CIRCUS MEN BUY.

When the steamship fastener ar
rived at Hoboken the other day the
queerest cargo that ever was shipped
to this country came trooping out of
its hold
First issued from the bowels of the
ship II Tasmanian devils, rare spe-
cies of animal only to be found in Tas-
mania, Australia. Next came II wom-
bats, an Australian animal resembling
small bear. Ninety-seven kangaroos
followed. Then So camels were driven
out the hold and numbers of other
creatures of the wilderness OF Africa
and Australia and New Zealand.
Great Collector.
The cargo was in charge and own
ed by Ellis S. Joseph, the greatest col
lector of wild animals in the world.
That's his business, and he's made a
lot of money at it.
When his wild animals arrived at
Hoboken representatives of the big
gest circuses and zooes in this coun-
try were on hand. 1t wasn't long be-
fore Mr.. Joseph had sold, his entire
collection. Wild animals are in de-
mand. They bring a good price.
Mr.. Joseph bears number of scars
on his person, the aftermath of his
many adventures in hunting wild and
rare specimens in the jungles of Afri-
ca, the headwaters of the Amazon in
South America, or the wilderness Of
Australia.
On his chin and right cheek are the
scars of a row of teeth. A big chin
panzee, weighing $50 pounds a pet
OF Mr. Joseph, had playfully bitten
him in the face to demonstrate how
glad it was to see its master
Chimpanzee Was Pet.
Mr. Joseph had the chimpanzee run
ming around loose in Australia. He
named it Casey the Second. Casey
was a great pet, fond of its master.
Obliged to travel into the interior for
a long distance, Mr.. Joseph sold Cas-
ey to a zoo.
Months later the collector happen
ed to visit the zoo. He called on Casey
at its cage and the animal bit him in
the face TO show its pleasure
Mr.. Joseph said the rarest animal
he ever had in captivity was the Afri-
can manatee, or sea COW. To have
brought the animal to Europe or to
America would have meant a small
fortune. Mr.. Joseph got it as far as
the harbor when he fed it a lot of
grass. The animal must have suffered
from indigestion. At any rate it died. |
