With si Fine Kense of Humor They Flay Jokes on Tenderfeet and Women o phers and llullsnake Create Lively Situ ations For the Hooper. "Tlio hoopsimke of Toxua is ns lutor csting n rrptilo as you rnn find nny wlioro, " snid n former rcsldout of the Lone Star St a to. "It is nnliko any hoop tnaUo I ever sr w in tho enst and n good ileal livelier. Under its lower jaw thorn is a lip, with n hole in it, and on the end of its tail there is a horuliko hook that curves upward. Whonovor the Biialie takes a notion to roll, it throws its tall over its snout, hnoks into tho lip, and (joes HpimiiiiK nwny ovor tlio nr;iK3 ns merrily as you plenso. "Tho siinko cun R'lt over tho ground pretty fast by crawling, hut it seems to take great pleasuro in rolling. Tho mi ller part of its body Is bright rod, ntid you can seo tho Biiako quito n distauco when it's rolling. Sumo say tlio hum is hollow nnd capable of ejecting poison, but I don't know how truo that Is. Peo ple who aro ignorant of how the Texas hoopsnako is built are simply amazod when they hnppon to soo otio change from a crawl to a roll. Thoy can't make out how it is possible for tho snake to put its ends togothcr mid roll nwny nt such speod unless it sticks its tail into its mouth. ' You will often run across a lioopsnnku that is crawling along lei surely, when all at once it will throw its tail forward and go zipping off nt a speed, yon iimigino, tlmt makes its head swim. But its head is always lovel, no matter how last it rolls or how far. "I've seon many a lunn and boy amusingly taken in by hoopsnakes out there. Every ueweomer desires to poi.Hoss a specimen, and thoy get it into their heads that It is as eusy as lying to cateh one. The tenderfoot thinks he can cap turo a hoopsunke by poking a polo or stick through the circle made by its body. Ho gets fooled, however, for the cunning suake instantly unhooks its tail, thus ridding itsulf of the stick or pole, runs along on Its belly for a short dis tance and then hooks iuto tho lip again and resumes its frolio with perfect free dom. Tlio hoopsnako has a lino sense of humor, I reckon, for it takes dollght in ecuriug women and teuderfeot by roll ing right tip to them and dodging away when they scream or jump. They tell a story out thore of u man who ran the haudlo of a rake through a hoopsuako'i cirolo and unhooked It Tho snake got mad, struck nt tho man and hit tho trunk of a mosquito bush with its horn. It sped away then, and the man fouud tho print of its horn in tho bark. He ex amined the bush often, and ho took his oath that it died in less than 00 days. "I ouoe saw hoopsnako hanging to one of the hind foot of a gopher. The gopher kicked and squealed and pullod, and the snako kept tapping it on the head and buck with its horn. Tho snake oonldn't have swallowed the gopher, and it tormented the little thing out of pure deviltry. Its aim with tho hook was unerring, and it aoted as if it was tickled all ovor evory time the gopher squealed. The hoopsuaku's fun came to an end Tory snddonly the moment an other gophor nppenrod. Tho second gopher took in the situation at a glanoo, and it immediately hopped upon the snake and bit it in tho back of tho nook. The snake lot go of the foot mighty quick, and all the lively writhing im aginable that snake performed in the next eight or ton minutes, It thrashed the grass flat in a space five foot in di amotor, and I never saw a croature hate to die as that snake did. It finally stretched out motionless, and I out oil its horn, which had no hollow in It. Tho wounded gopher was squealiug in some bruBb, and its roiouor was trying hard to ooax it into a hole, but it hud been done for by the snake, and it died in a little while. "How it does make a toad's eyes hang out when a hoopsunka gets after ltl The toad knows that it's a goner, and it begins to hop and peep nnd squeal with terror boforo the snnko hns touched it. Tlio snnko Is In nn hnrry, for it knows very well thnt tho tond enn't git otit of Its Rlftlit, nnd it tnkos dnwnrlfht cnri fnrt In hearing the tond wail. It crnwls behind Ibo tond, nnd when it i;r t p tl and ri ndy It thrnws IN tail fnrwavd nnd gives the toad a smart llmniii I twnen tlio eyes with the point nf tli horn. Tho toad lw ki np n f"W 1'icV'i, nnd tlio snako s-los It by n bind fmt. Then the lua 1 kicks with its free hind foot mid claws the grass with its I rout foot, keeping np n piteous aqnealing all the time. The snako lets it kick and elnw for a spell, hot by nnd by knoeks tho tond on the head till it stops kick ing and swallows It "While a hoopsnako was handling a tond in thnt wny one spring I snw a bnllsnnke interfere. Tho bu Usual: a of Texns is a big hended reptile nbniit 3 feet long. Its body tapers all thn way llko a cono, and it hns two enrved teeth In tho upper Jnw and Is nonpolsonon. The hoopsnako had tho tond by a hind foot, and of conrse the tond wns mak ing nil the noise it know how to. Rnd denly a bnllsnnke glided out of tho bush nnd strnrk nt tho hnn-ppnako's middle with its upper jnw. Tho hoopnaltp In tantly released the toad, faced the bnll niako and hit it on the neck with its horn. The blow didn't phne tho bnll snnke a particle. It returned tlio attnek with a sidewinder thnt knocked tho honpsnnke out of tho pnth. Tho latter must hove been very much astonished, for, instead of sailing into tho big fel low agnfn, It cleared out at once, nnd tho bnllsnnke seized the toad right nwny and started to swallow it " Now York Bun. Electricity Generated In HI Mouth. A curious enso hns been recorded in whiob an elcotrio current was found to be gnnorated by a plnte of artificial tooth. A patient consulted hisd ntr on aooonnt of a severo pain in his tongue. But tho sufferer was nwd that there was nothing the matter. lie thon paid n visit to his deiitiHt, wn i in formed him thnt his teeth wero tv vleet ly sound. Being, however, ilis.-,-,t: -.ltd, he called upon on clectrloiiui he l;:iev; and askod him if it wero pnildn he could have any electricity In hi:i mouth. On examining tlio teeth his friend fon'rl thnt two metala wero tired to lis tirin to a composition plate. To these metal wires wero then attached nnd connected to n galvanometer. Then tlio teoth wero replaced in the patient's mouth nnd tho metals moistened with saliva. No soon er was this dono than tho galvanometer showed qnlto n largo current frr.in fo small a source enough, it is stntcd, to oauso ulceration nnd severo pniu whe n long continued upon so sensitive n:i or gau us tlio tongue. Tho plate wan cov ered with nn Insulating varnish, nnd thenceforward nil tlio tronble oonsod. Industries nnd Iron. Aluminium Coating. Now that tbo aluminium coating on the tower of tho pnblio buildings boginn to make n showing some idea can bo gained of what tho great pilo of iron work will look like when entirely cov ered with this substance. It is evidont thnt it will differ considerably in color from tho beautiful wliito of tho marble portion of tho tower, and it is question able whether it will harmouizo pleas antly. When the tower was first plan ned, it was proposed to paint tho iron work will to, so as to give tho impression that the entire tower was of marble. This idea was abandoned, however, on account of the expense tlmt wonld bo forever eutailod in painting the struc ture and tho great risk that would at tend' tho operation. Tho introduction of aluminium was hailed as a solution of the troublo, but it is yot doubtful whothor it will roally prove so. Tho coating of the ironwork with aluminium, which is all done at Taoouy, is tiie biggest job in which that interesting metal has ever been put to oominoroial uses. Phila delphia Record. Culture of the Uninteresting. Thoy have beon having great exoite mont in a usually extromoly quiet sub urban neighborhood, which may be in Boxbury or Dorohoster, or might be in Allston or Maldon it doesn't particu larly matter where it is. The ladies of the neighborhood, impelled by a holy Chautauqua inspired thirst for culture, have a "reading club," and of lata the club has been piously engaged in wad ing through a history of Russia. Not that one suburban woman in the lot cares a straw about the history of Rus sia or will ever bo beuofited a jot by the reading of it, but something unin teresting must needs be read if one is to maintain one's position in suburban so tioty and be thought intellectual, and the history of Russia, having a certain imposing air of uuiuterestcdness, was chosen for this winter's reading of tho club.
