R, r- T ; ~ - T BNAKKM IN CALironXIA. Oojl larmmb to Tbtlt Venom the Some mm Otkn Antmnle. John Muiv, the noted geologist and nature 11*1, talked to a reporter of the "San Franolsoo Examiner" ae follows: "The greatest plaee I know for snakes Is In Fresno county," said he. "It's hot there, and that's Just what snakes like. Ther are out In the foothills mainly, and very thtok. It la often said that a rattle- Make ean't hurt a hog; but this la a mistake. They kill a great many hogs, f and sheep and dogs, too, In the Fresno hills and the mountaineers they are very oarelul how they go about. "It makes a good deal of difference how thlok a hog's skin la. Probably a little rattlesnake, If It attacked a big swine, wouldn't have much effect on it; but take an average-sized hog and medium-sized | . j snake, and the former has no ohow at : all. "While the rattlesnakes there are probably not ae thick as they used to be. they are thick enough yet to make things j lively. They kill cotton-tall rabbits, j W- squirrels, birds, and such things by the { score, and live/on them; but the sheep and hogs they simply kill. They don t eat them. They aro too big. Some of , the rattlesnakes are said to bo six and gi seven feet long, though I never saw any j f) quite so big. An ord resident of Fresno j telle me he saw a rattlesnake strike a hog ' in the throat, and the latter died In flf- 1 teen or twenty minutes. If the poison ! gets into them it takes no timo at all to kill them. There are many other kinds | of snakes there, but not so many as there aro rattlers. In the upper end of the Yosemite valley there used to be, and there aro yet, a great many of the'latter. (They are usually found in the wild, rocky spots. In the Yosemite, above i Mirror lake, they were once very plenti- I ful. One peculiarity of a rattlesnake is that If he seos you first he will put his 1 head down and quietly steal away. I was once above Mirror Lake witli a party of ladies and gentlemen,and away off, 150 or 200 yards away, I saw something that | looked like a small hitching post. It stuck some three feet or more up. I said to myself, can this be a hitching A post In the grass ? The others thought ft was, but I doubted it. As wo ap !' preached It went down gradually, and ") { finally stole away In the grass. It was i a big rattler, and had been watch- I' Ing us. /) "The snake line Is about 8,500 feet. !' You don't find them in tho Sierras I above that. The Nevada rattler, as a rule, is a protty good natured fellow unless you attack him. The Nevada snakes look wise, and are cunning, and persons are naturally afraid of them. They never try to get away unless they j iliink they aro seen. They vary in color from dark to yellow, but are mostly richer dark, with dark mottles or blotches."

The lady who kindly loaned it for reproduc tion pronounces it a good one, although taken four or five years ago. Mrs. Ray mond, the Informant said, was then liv ! ing on Thirty-fourth street with her t friend, Mrs. Samuel Smith, where she still has or had rooms up to a few days ago. Samuel Smith, tho husband of the j landlady, is an old friend of Sheriff Flack, ] and they botli aro members of the I Vawayanda club. Mr. Smith is chief J clerk at the Sinclair house, but is on vacation now. Proprietor Ashman, of | tho Sinclair, Is also a warm friend of ii Flack, and it is reported on good au thority that Sheriff Flack got Smith his jjr po-itlon as olerk.

Tile evils of etiquette were lately Illus trate d at the Paris exhibition where that portion of the commission which under took to look after m wspaper men gave h banquet to v,B.ting correspondents from abroad. There were about thirty guesls and many nations were repre sented. For music tho band of the * Tziganes had been engaged. Tho guests were seated, and gave every sign of | hungry expectancy. Suddenly tho bund b"gan to plfty the national air of Bel ' giuiu. At one > tho representatives of Hat nation rose and remain d standing until the tune .as ended. Out of polite -1 ness all tho other guests followed suit. A f w minutes Inter the strains of I "God Save the Queen ' resounded. Tliose L i reught the Englishmen to their feet, I and of course everybody else arose. As though possessed by devils, or else so ' that no one would be touched by jealous I feelings, the Indefatigable band ent , through its repertory of national .• u i and as euch tune came up, up wont, the people of tho corresponding nationality, I in special recognition of the courtesy, . and up went everybody else in general *r<-cognition of the special recognition. At 11 o'clock tlie concert, which had ! -begun at 7 o'clock, ended with lite "Mar r s<llatso." Then, and uol until then, the ' starved guests who were ready to faint, | were able to a* tack the side dishes left on the table.

Some very Interesting tests of wooda native to Washington and others native to other timber sections of the country waa made recently at the Northern PaoU fio car shops. The purpose was to dem onstrate the relative strength of tha woods The timber tested was subjected to an actual breaking, on sticks 2xl iucheß and tour feet long, to centers, being one fourth as long, thick and wide as an ao tual stringer as used by the railroad company in their trestle'bridges. The test is important, as there seems to have been but little information on that sub ject, and the impression has been that ordinary oak was stronger than fir. The test show, however, that yellow fir is actually one-third stronger than eastern oak, and more than one-half stronger than eastern white pine. The breaking weight, placed squarely in the middle of each stick, was as follows: No. 1. Old piece of yellow fir from yard, having decayed ends, six years In the weather, 3,063 pounds. No. 2. New soft piece fine grain yellow I fir, similar to the best flooring timber, I 3,092 pounds. No. 3. Old piece yellow fir, ooarse j grain and hard, broke short at 4,320 , pounds. No. 4. New piece from the butt of tree, | coarse grain, broke with a stringy frac ture at 3,635 pounds. A SUBURBAN COTTAGE. No. 5. New piece Michigan white pine, soft ami clear, broke ehort at a weight of 1,610 pounds. No. 6. Now piece Michigan oak broke nearly short off at a weight of 2,428 pounds. All of the pieces of wood wore sub jected to the same clear span of 3 feet 9 inches, and the weight applied exactly in the middle. As to the deflections tho following notes were made: Nos. 1 and 2, half an inch, No. 3, three-eighths of an inch, No. 4, live-eighths of an inch, No. 5, one-fourth or an inch, No, G, one and one-eighth of an inch.

Some interesting experiments have been undertaken by Horr Ilerzberg, with the co-operation of Herr O. Schulze, chief engineer of the Berlin works of Messrs. Frederick Siemens & Co., for the purpose of ascertaining tlie loss of light in passing through window glass of va rious kinds in general use. The experi ments were conducted with a Bunson photometer, in which two Argand burn ers of equal illuminating power were placed at the two ends of t he graduated bar. After equality of illumination of the screen had been established, a plate of tho glass to be tested was interposed be tween ono of the end lights and the screen, and tho extent of the displace ment of the latter thus necessitated for tho re-establishment of equality of illum ination on botli sides gave the measure of the opacity of tho glass. A simple translucent but not transpa rent glass showed a lot 27 per cent, of light. Cathedral glnss, ; -uch as is used in stained glass work as a basis, being clear but with a slight ground tint, showed a loss of 12 2-3 per cont.

" Good morning, Jack 1 why I haven't seen you for a month past. What in the world is the matter with you ? You seem to have renewed your youth." " Well Phil, I have. Don't you remem ber the last time I saw you, how misera ble I was ? Sick and blue, and in that sort of mood a man gets sometimes when he feels the most noble thing in life is to go straight to the devil." " Not so bad as that, I hope ; at all events you didn't go that way, you are looking far too happy and hearty.' " Thank goodness, no ! or rather, thank Vinegar Bitters. _ Do you remember that day I saw you last, when you recommend ed that remedy to mc so persistently, and I was flr9t vexed and then half convinced." I remember it perfectly, and you needn't say another word upon the sub ject ; your looks tell me that you took the medicine." "No doubt of it: everybody remarks upon my improved looks and temper; but I must really tell you all about it. I got the old style, as you recommended, and didn't mind the bitter taste at all. I fin ished the bottle in about two weeks, and was greatly improved, so much so that I determined to change off and try the new style. " Well, how did you like it?" " You told rae your wife preferred th new style, I believe; well, I must say I agre with her. I like the old style very much but the new is a finer, smoother, more ex pensive preparation." " I believe it is ; in fact, I have heard so, and 1 wonder the McDonald Drug Company sell it for the same price they do the old style, because it is really a very costly preparation." " Well, that dosn't concern us. Who was it said that people fancied themselves pious sometimes when they were only bilious ? No matter! I was only going to say that I believe people often seem wicked when it is only their liver, or their stom ach, or some other cantankerous organ of the body so out of order they couldn't be good if they tried." "And if" all the miserable dysoepsia. and victims of biliousness, headaciie and the thousand aud one ills that liesh is heir to would only take Vinegar Bitters, what a happy world this would be 1" " 1 siionld recommend the new style." " I never go back on the old style." " Well, they can pay their money and take their choice, for both kinds work ad mirably." Only Temperance Bitters Known.
