Carson, of Midland, reports.
Captain Carson. in his survey of the
point where the Tigress and her sister
ship, the Scorpion, are lodged in the
bottom of the bay, recovered several
relics, including spokes two feet long,
scuppers and iron bars. Barnacles as
big as hens eggs incrusted the iron,
which has been softened by the soak
ing. A chain believed to have been
used for securing cannon, also was
brought to the surface.

New York Preacher Collects
Reptiles as Hobby.

New York.-Snakes may typify orig
inal sin in the Bible, but to Rev. DIR.
Hugo e. Meyer, who expounds the
Bible from the pulpit of Christ Luth-
eran church. Woodhaven, they are just
so many little playmates.
In jars in room on the second
floor of his house adjoining the church.
Doctor Meyer has more than 1000 spe-
cimens preserved in alcohol. In his
back yard he has live rattlesnake,
seven alligators, and a family of tur
ties.
Yearly the preacher makes trip to
Palm Beach and Miami and comes
back with additions TO his collection.
Last year he motored back with 500
pounds of live snakes in nine boxes
and eleven bags, attracting, inciden-
tally, considerable attention from the
proprietors of filling stations along his
route Some of his little friends are
now in the snakehouse at the Bronx
park zoo and Doctor Meyer has not yet
undertaken this years expedition, so
that his stock of live specimens is low.
Rare and Valuable Snakes.
The RATHER is dangerous and he is
carefully penned in a wire cake. The
allegatOrs have only little more free
dom. Doctor Meyer keeps also large
police dog, which has TO be tied while
the snakes are on view. The back
yard is a center of interest for the
WOOdhaven Boy Scout troop.
Doctor Meyer has many rare and
valuable specimens. To the expert,
the room upstairs would present a
wealth of scientific information. Jars
line the walls, and each jar is the last
resting place of some repulsive look
ing reptile; cotton mouth or water
mOccasin, RATHER, king snake, black
snake or common garter snake. To
see a snake, Doctor Meyer says, is for
him to want it and want is to get it.
Doctor Meyer, who is sixty-eighi
years old, has been following his hobby
for IS of them. In Germany, when he
was ten. he heard an address by Al
fred Brehms, naturalist, and he imme-
diately made his first collection of 40
snakes On return trip to Germany
a few years ago he had difficulty with
a customs inspector, who refused to
believe he had live snakes in a case
he was carrying.
Doctor Meyer offered t. substantiate
his contention and lifted the lid of the
case. The inspector landed several
feet away and did not bother to COM
plete the inspection.
Through his studies at several Ger
man universities, Doctor Meyer contin-
ued his interest. He attended the Uni
versity of Berlin, becoming bachelor
and master of arts. He took his de
gree of doctor of philosophy at Goet-
tingen and did some work also at Ok
ford Wherever the preacher went he
took his collection. He studied for the
ministry in Europe, but was not or
dainad until coming here in 1893.
Since then he has served pastorates
in South Jersey, Asbury park and AL
bany. He has lived in Woodhaven 10
years.
Wife Conquers Fear.
Mrs. Meyer said that she was at first
a little nervous regarding her hus-
bands hobby and at times when snakes
were likely to be roaming around the
house, she used to send the preacher

American victory at Put-in-Bay and
the capture by the Scorpion of the
British warship Chippewa elated the
United States forces, and they pro-
ceeded to attack the naval base at
Penetang. Here their success was cut
short, however, and the Tigress and
the Scorpion were sent to the bottom.
Now they are to be raised and main
