Prof. (Innr tells the story of his cap ture nnd his statement is corroborated by Frederick Dryer and John Ile.yer, furtners, who witnessed the capture. Following Is l'rof. (in ill's story: "The other day nt my nursery I killed a slate colored snake about 30 Inches long, of a variety unknown to me. Near the neck of the snake the skin was appar ently broken, and through this aper ture, which was a natural orifice, I was surprised to see a small snake vvrlppln ' out, followed by four others. I enlarged the orifice, and discovered a duct or ennal extending the entire length of the make. In this duct were CO more little snakes, making in all (15 snakes that were contained in the duct or canal. The sun was shining hot und the little fellows snapped and bit viciously, but they all died in a short time. "The canal which contained the snakes must have been the regular ali mentary cannl, as there was no other canal or passage In the body to serve the purposes of assimilation. This canal was full of little snakes its entire length, nnd each little wriggler was In closed In an individual filniv sack." BOSTON FOR A PATTERN.

A ninn snt in the Heading terminal the other day, says the Philadelphia Record, o wrapped up In a Jioston newspaper that he let his train slip uit without liim. When lie found that lie would have to wr.it two more hourr li? seemed annoyed, but, notwithstanding his annoyance, he was kind enough 1o explain in a loud voice to a couple of tinifonned o.'lieials how they ought to run things nt the terminal. ."You ought to do as we do i:i 1'o.s ton," he said. At the stations there the names of the cities and towns all over the country that the trains run to are printed In big letters on the wall, and the seats for the waiting passengers are grouped around these names. Suppose i want to go to Washington. 1 run my eye over the walls, and when 1 find the name I'm after 1 sit down near it In a Washington scat. Then when n train is ready the enunclator, as we call him In Hoston I don't know what you cull Jihn. here goes quietly to the people who arc in that train's seat, touches them on the shoulder and murmurs In a polite way; 'Your train, sir,' 'Your train, mndam. date 11.' Now, thot's the way to do it. No shout ingT no confu sion, no trains escaping without their passengers. That's how we manage' things in Hoston." DOG IN A DIVORCE COURT. Sharp-Scented llluodhonnd at Iluclmreat IMcka I i a lilt of Damaging Krldence, A certain well-known inhabitant of Jtuchurest Is the director of a manufac tory which, being situated on the out skirts of the city, he goes to early each morning, returning late In the after noon. The director was some few years ago ' married to the daughter of a rich mer chant, lie uLso possesses u, splendid bloodhound, wliie.h had become very clever in finding and bringing any lost object of his master or mistress. Little did the director, when teaching his dog the trlek, fancy to what pur pose he was doing it. Among his Intimate friends he reck oned a certain banker, and visiting him one afternoon, accompanied by his dog, he noticed it snill1 around the waste paper basket and then bring out from among the scraps of paper a green silk handkerchief, which seemed strangely familiar to him. He seized it and pock eted it, without the banker noticing, and soon after took his leave. The lady was packed on tt her par ents and proceedings for a, divorce com menced. Khe ultimately confessed to bavlng given the handkerchief a-s a memento, which the banker had thrown into his waste paper basket to be found by the Intelligent bloodhound. THE DOUBLE EAGLE. M It Airur In tlie Arms of Hnwftla nnd Austria Is of Ancient Oriul". The eagle, as an emblem of authority, is so old that it would be impossible, to clearly truce its origin. It is found upon the most ancient sculptures that luive yet been discovered, und was no doubt one of the very oldest of the totems, or tribe signs. The early l'er siuu empire appears to bu the first which adopted it as an imperial em blem. Among the Q reeks the eagle was the emblem of Jove. The Itomaiis also adopted the eagle as their standard, jind so it became the token of itor.ian do minion. When C'onstantlne became era- peror he adopted the double-headed eagle us the insignia of his authority over east and west. When the (icrmuu empire came into being in the twelfth century this emblem was revived ub be ing that of the Holy Roman empire, and IJiidolph of llapsburg adopted itas his imperial arms. It uppcured the llus' siuu imperial arms in the sixteenth een tury, when Czar Ivan Unsllovltch mar rleil Princess Sophlu, niece of the elev enth Conrtontlne, and the last of the DyiABtine emperors. TO RECLAIM THE LAND. )lke Are I'rnposrA In n l'lnn fo Itemler Snfomersreil California Instates Froll table. Application of the Dutch method of diking hns resulted in the reclamation of about 30,000 acres of low-lying ground in the basin of the Sacramento river, California, below the city of Sac ramento, while work Is in progress to protect .0,01)0 more acres from the In cursions of the last 15 or lrt years. About 100,000 acres arc yet to be drained in the Rucramento bottoms and a less area in the lowlands of the valley of the San Joaquin. Attempts at diking made over 20 years ago failed because the sur foce soils and the peat used in con structing the dikes could not withstand the wearing effect of the river's current. Much money was wasted and the dis heartened workers abandoned the en terprise. The newcomers on the ground dug deeper than their predecessors and found a bed of potter's clay, which, when heaped up In levees, Is baked by the sun to almost the consistency of pottery. The accumulated water with in the dikes Is discharged Into the river by pumps. A system of Irrigation of the higher portion of the reclaimed lands is provided, und the apparent con tradiction is presented of the draining and the irrigation at one time of the same body of land. For a depth of two feet the land is n mat of decayed tule stems, and, with control of the water, the former swamps have been made the most productive lands in the state. IDENTIFICATION OF JEWELRY. Jeweler lime a Method of Number ing nnd IlrarUterlaa- That Is of Lasting Value. In these days of frequent robberies it is well to ndopt some method of identi fication more sure than that of n simple recognition of one's own jewels. It Is next to impossible to pick out one's own ring from a collection of -i). An expert might do it, but few women can, says the Chicago rimes-Herald. The best method is the jewelers' method. Every piece of jewelry they own U marked with an identification number. It is scratched by the: jeweler ns soon ns it is bought, and entered on his registry books with a full descrip tion of the setting and each Rtone. Kx amine your rings with a microscope. mid the numbers will be found. Whenever an article of jewelry is re paired this number, with its repair reg istry number, is entered on the repair book w herever it is left. This is true of all articles of jewelry, but is particu larly noticeable in the repair of watches. Kvery time a watch is cleaned its new number is scratched somewhere on the inside of the cuse. One can never deceive a jeweler ns to the length of time since the watch was lust cleaned, as he has it registered on his books. If you cannot make out n jewelry de scriptive list yourself, your jeweler will fill out the registry for you. Your chances of recovery in case of robbery are greatly increased. Knft OLD PLANTS. Some That Have Disappeared far Centuries Have lleen Kevlred by Chance. Some 25 years ngo, when the scoriae (or slag) produced by the ancient Greeks in working the silver mines of Lnwiinur, near Athens, was removed, in order to be reworked by more efficient modern appliances, the seeds of a kind of poppy of the genus Cilnncinon, which hnd lain underneath the slug in iv dor mant condition for ut lea-st 1,500 years, sprung up again all over the uncovered ground. Unknown in modern times, this plant was described in the firstcen tury of our era by Dioscorides and Pliny, and hud disappeared from the face of the globe for 13 or 20 centuries. The fact that these seeds should have retained their vitality so long seems very extraordinary, but there are other lnstunces quite as remarkable. For in stance, raspberry seeds fouud in 1835 in an ancient tumulus in a eoflln burled T.O feet below the surface, and believec. to have been there since the second cen tury, were successfully planted. And in another case seeds of the Poly gonum Convolvulus, dug up from the bottom of a sand pit, where they were believed to have been burled for 2,000 years, were still vigorous und produced healthy plants.

Awful Icnanee Self-inflicted ly l ie Indian Who Killed 111 Mother. H. P. Myton, United States Indian agent ut White Rocks, Utah, has among the Ute Indians on his reserva tion a man who for 20 years has done awful penance to atone for the acci dental killing of his mother, but who, in spite of what he has passed through, thinks that he has not yet suffered suf ficiently for his transgression. The killing was entirely accidental, and the tribe held the Indian blame less and did not punish him. His con science, however, was his accuser, and it held him up us a criminal. When his first burst of grief was over he Imposed a harsh sentence upon himself. He made a solemn vow that for the rest of his life he would not wear clothing or enter a house, tepee, or other dwelling. For more than 20 years the redskin has kept his word. He sleeps in the open nlr, with a piece of old blanket about three feet square hung over him on some sticks. He Is entirely nude. Mr. Myton says the Indian lies on the ground through the winter, even when the thermometer goes ns low us 40 de grees below zero. CAR-RIDING MAKES HER SAD.
