One Arthur E. Vlney, In a letter to th*
London Timet, vouchee for the atory.
Near whore Mr. Vlney lire* at
Ores, Cape Colony, there is an os-
trich farm run by a Mr. Mallerby. On*
day Mr. Mallerby. while out walking,
chanred Upon a Urge black snako
Usually these snakes are very swift
and difficult to catch, but this par-
ticular reptile moved sluggishly away
when the ostrich farmer approached.
It was an easy matter for Mr. Maller-
by to kill the reptile with a stick
which ho carried. Then he noticed
that the snake was very fat; quite
•wollon. In fact, and heavy beyond
what was to be ex|>ectod from Its slzo.
Ho took It home and then cut It open.
Inside was a yellow snake almost as
Urge as the black snake. The yellow
snako faced the black snake's UU.
litis was a surprise, but more was to
1 follow, l'hc yellow snako alBO looked
bloated. So Mr. Mallerby cut opou
me yellow snake
Inside he found another blacksnako,
almost as big as the yellow snake.
Having gone so far in the dissection I
business, the experimenter prooeeded
to lay open the third layer of serpent,
hoping to turn out a blue or crimson
1 reptile by way of variety, instead, lie
found u bunch of eggs. Egg after
egg ho took out and laid beside tho
remains of tho two blacksnakos and
the yellow snake. Hut his scientific
thirst for oxploratton was not yot I
slaked, and he prooeeded to punoturo
an egg. Out popped a small black- |
snake. Ho tried another egg, and
another just like it Then ho went to
work with a will, and when he had J
finished the job ho found himself re-
sponsible for tho production of thirty
minute crawlers, whereas ho could
credit himself with the destruction of
only one. At last accounts the thirty j
were still under his care.
From these data he nas figured out
tho story of the thirty-three snakes.
Evidently the eggs bolongod to the
smaller blacksnako and perhaps she
wasn't very livoly, for whon a largo

acids in a snake's stomach are vory
and I know bow it should

should be at some loss to tell a good
button bole from a bad one." Tho
pieturc thus pathetically drawn of
their pastor sitting with a garment
over his knees stitching buttons on it
brought tears to the eyes of the elderly
unmarried ladies present. The vener-
able Archdeacon llurney, who was one
of the speakers, remarked that in
days happily ended lie also did a good
deal of button stitching on his own
account, but was now fortunately re-
lieved of that heavy responsibility.
He hoped soon to see Rev. Mr. Young
in the happy position of having some
one to sew on big buttons for him—and
to do it well. (Chorus of “Hear, hear,"
from the ladies aforementioned.)—

THOSE DAINTY POWDER PUFFS
To Time tho Cars.
"Papa," said little YVillie the other
day iis he and his papa were traveling
from New Orleans to Day St. Louis,
“1 wonder how fast we are going
now." They had passed Chef Menteua
and the train was howling along at a
fair rate of speed, nnd little YVillie,
with his face glued to the window
panes of the car, waa watching the
telegraph poles as they whisked past.
"That is easy to tell, YVillie,” said his
pnpa, pulling out his watch and look-
ing at the second hand. "Now, just
count how many clanks, you hear,
which is the noise made by the wheels
of the ear passing over the joints of
the rails, until I tell you to atop.”
YVillie counted up to thirty, when hla
1 pnpa called out to him to atop. “YEe
are going just about thirty miles an
hour." “How can you tell, papa?”
said YVillie, who wns of nn inquiring
turn of mind. "YY’oll, you see,” said
his papa, “I just count how many
clanks there are in twenty seconds, or
from sixty to twenty, as shown by the
small hand on my watch, and that is
the rate at which we are traveling.”
YVillie wondered much, but did not
say a word.
The Hnltan a Hard Worked Man,
The sultan of Turkey is one of the
inoat hard worked men in the Ottoman
dominions. Rising nt 0 o'clock every
morning he devotes his days in the
seclusion of the Yildiz palace and
gardens to personal attention to all
the affaiis of state laid before him by a Difference,
liis ministers. He is of slight figure. .,j wish," said tho street railway
A pale brown overcoat conceals any
decorations he might he wearing, so
powerful, and had the smaller black-
snako been long in tho yellow-snake’s
interior it would have boen eaten by 1
tho acids, whereas it was hardly af-
fected at all whon taken out, although !
it was dead.
Tho blacksnako then seeing a yel-
low-snake of just the right size asleep |
in tho sun, seized it by the head and 1
swallowed it. This was undoubtedly \
cannibalism, but then the blacksnako '
didn't know that in taking tho yellow-
snake it was also eating ono of its ;
own family. It was poetic justice,too, -
Bnd tho uvenger was peacefully en- j
joying tho rost of the well fed when
Mr. Mallerby came along and killed
it. The death must havo followed
close on tho meal, for tho internal
acids of tho outside blacksnako had
not acted on tho yellow-snake any
more than tho internal acids of tho
yellow-snako hud acted on the insido-
blacksnakc. As for the oggs, they
weren’t harmed at all.
Afterward Mr. Mallerby was sorry
he didn’t know all this before he
killed the outside serpent. Certain
interesting questions thut will never
be answered now suggest themselves
to him. Supposing the eggs had
hatched inside the three layers of
snako (tlioy were evidently just ready
to hatch out serpents), what would
have become of them? Supposing
their mother, tho blacksnako, and
their foster fathor, the yellow-snake,
who had provided a home for them,
had both been digested by thoir out-
side parent, the big blaek-snako, and
they had remained still in tho egg, what
would have become of them then?
The outside blacksnako was a male.
YY’ouldn’t it bo rather too much, oven
in those days of female preponderance,
to expect a male blacksnako to lay
thirty eggs that ■ had come into Its
possession purely by acoidcnt? Also,
if It did so far forgot Its rights as a
rnansnuke, what relation would it bo
to the offspring? Father or mother
or both? And whero would tho yel-
low snako and tho original blacksnako I
Ito in this mixod-up relationship? Mr.
Mallerby would like some snako ex-
port, who also knows something about
genealogy, to come forward and en- I
lighten him on those points.

l’N|»f*r Gun*. *
It vvun discovered some time ago
that efficient heavy guns could be j
mado out of a composition composed <
largely of leather. Sow it has been
discovered that paper can bo used for
the same purpose. Tho body of tho
gun is mado of paper pulp. Tho core
Is of metal, and made very much
like the cores of ordinary cannon.
The exterior of tho cannon is wound
with wire. • About flvo layers of cop-
per, brass or steel wire are firmly
wound on, thus binding tho cannon.
Outside of tho covering of wire aro
various bands of brass These bande
are set with uprights, through which
rods extend parallel with the gun.
There arc locknuts on each side of
tho uprights, and these hold the rods
in place. Heavy guns made of old
copies of the London Times would
make a thundering noise when dis-
charged.
