room, surrounded by defunctreptiles in bottles of alcohol—the verybest place for such creatures you think,but wisely keep the not original ideato yourself. While handling the bot-tles with tenderest care and exhibitingtheir contents with pardonable pride,considering that thier preparation hasbeen the study of his life, the geniallittle man keeps up a running fire ofconversation. "Oh yes," he says,'this collection is far ahead of all oth-

ers in the world in respect to thesnakes of North America. How did Iget them all? Well, many were con-tributed by private individuals. Peo-ple send them from everywhere, aliveand dead; a good many come by ex-change with scientific institutions

Not,, a few are obtainedthrough the Department of Agricul-ture and the Geological and Geodeticsurveys. -Any, government expedition,such as that of the Mexican •-BotundaryCommission, for example, is likely tofurnish a good deal of rare material.Here is a line jar full of reptiles andbatrachians sent to us some years ago

young Astor Chanler from his ex-plorations in Africa, Unfortunately,we cannot employ field-agents to' gath-

• serpents becajuse one comes acrossthem only by merest chances, at com-paratively rare intervals. The deadspecimens usually come in .alcohol.After being identified they are put in-to suitable jars, each species having abottle by Itself. Sometimes it is de-sirable to preserve only the skeleton.That is an extremely delicate and dif-ficult task with sna'kes. The flesh mutetfirst be every bit removed with forcepsand small scissors. Then the tinybones are carefuLIy scraped, greatpains being taken to preserve the car-tilaginous extremities of the ribs.These may be regarded as the feet ofthe snake, which actually walks on thepoints of its ribs. Boas and pythouahave rudimentary hind legs."

Observing my look of astonishment,if not incredulity, the Professor prov-ed his statement by exhibiting someconvenient skeletons. Perhaps this isthe explanation of a part of the cursetlhat has puizaiedmine—"Upon thy belly thou shall go,"or words to that effect, indicating thatbefore the serpent beguiled Mother EveInto her disastrous apple scrape hehad ibeen In the habit of perambulat-ing the ea£th in some other way.

Pointing to a big jar, too heavy tolift, which, appeared to me packed withgoJt velvet, striped in dull brown and'green, the Professor remarked, "ThatIs a python; but only a little one, notmore than eighteen feet long." "Goodgracious!" said 1. "What do you calla creditable python?" "Well, they of-ten attain a length ot thirty, and evenforty feet, and a diameter of a foot anda half, or two feet. What would I doif I met sucfh a fellow alive in thewoods? I should certainly run awayif I could. My scientific knowledgemight give me gome advantage in anencounter with the beast, and if heseized me. and I could keep my witsabout me, which isn't likely, I shouldtry to igrasp him around the throatand hoild him tight with both handsuntil I strangled him. I have beentold by those who ought to know thatthat is the easiest way to kill a pythonor any other very large snake, andreally not diffjeuit If one retains hispresence of mind. Being grasped closeto the head, his snakeship cannot bite,nor bring his crushing toils aroundyou, and the breath of life is very soonchoked entirely out of him. Still, Icannot say that I care to try the ex-.periment."

The Professor continued—astroking the heaid of a harmless livingsnake, numbers of which rwere wan-dering about among the funeral urns

ing deserts in our country. Thelargest, salaman'd-er comes from Ja-pan, and the poor thing, which is on-ly two feet long and really very pret-ty, is inappropriately saddled withthe harsh name of "Hell-bender."

Of greater im-portance, perhlaps, and equally timelyis the article, "How I Hope to Reachthe North Pole," by Evelyn BriggsBaldwin, Coimimandier of the Baldwin-Ziegler Expedition, whose sailing forthe Pole'has. already been chronicledby the press, frn fiction, the Septem-ber magazine lives up to the remark-ably high Standard set by the Mid-summer Fiction Number. A delicioustory, comically illustrated 'by Henry

Mayer, is "The Man Who Gave NoTip." by Benjamin Ridgely; a story ofreal pathos is Kate M. Cleary's "TheStepmother," beautifully illustratedby Frank V. DuMond;' Fnank H.Spearman's story. "Of the Old Guard-Dave Hawk, Conductor; Looter andHero." with a fine picture of Dave b>•'Jay. Bathbidge,' is in that popular

Naturally, euch a state of things in-evitably attracted the attention of ex-ploiters, and the-natural genius forconsolidation which the American peo-ple seem to possef?* everted itself. Onevery iharad how We hear of consoli-dation of interiurban street railway sys-tems, until companies, in some cases,possess straigLtaway lines more thantwo hunldred miles long. The nextstep,"'naturally, is the unification ofconstruction throughout, the improve-ment of rights of way and permanentway, and then the operation of throughcars.

In the last few days plans for theconstruction of trolley roads from Al-bany to iBoston, from AUbany to Buffa-lo, and from New York to'AJibany,from New York to Boston, from New

to Philadelphia, from Cincinnatiledo and Detroit, and in innum-

erable other places, have been madethe subject for discussion in the news-papers. It is believed that some, ifnot ail," of these lines will actually beibuilt and several of them can be or-ganized simply by the consolidation ofexisting properties and the construc-tion of relatively short links.

The sulbject is particularly fascinat-ing. Here we havo the unacknowl-edged rival of the steam railway grow-ing in importance and in size, slowlytbut surely, and ID disjointed units,when suddenly fclnese are amalgamatedto form a system that not only paral-lels th© lines of existing steam rail-roads in many sections, but which ac-tually surpasses them in extent andutility. The next year or two will seea comparatively bitter struggle for'•supremacy in ruany .parts of this coun-try between the railroads and the trol-Zey roa'ds. The latter have all of thebenefits of cheap construction and lowexipense of operation and of conven-ience. The only remedy left for therailroads is to electrify their owntracks and to turn themselves forth-with into magnified and superior tro*-ley lines.—Electric Review.

PET ANIMALS.

It has sometimes been argued thatthe keeping of pet animals is one wayto develop tihe humane instincts ofpeople in general. Like other prac-tice, however, this one is good onlywhen it is not abused, as it frequentlyis. When one considers the numberof miserable little beasts yearly trap-ped, captured, and bred in cages forth« amusement of man kind, it seemsas if some better method of amuse-ment might be devised.

Of coarse, there are people whomake Mends and companions of theirpets, aoJd although nobody can ibe ab-.sdiutely certain about animal psychol-ogy, it. may'.be that the dog, horse orbird derives an amount of pleasurefrom contact with the superior mindwhicih more than repays the loss offreedom. In the case or a highly breddog or a saddle-horse it is almost cer-tain that this is so. But these are inthe aninority when tiie whole number

f d t i t d i t ety

of domesticatedI

ris considered.

In the first place, it ia certainlycruelty to take a wild creature out ofits natural environment and placeiii a case Wii re i t cat r-ave little ex-ercise, no natural companionship, andoften, no suitable food. It is entirelypossible for people living in a countryi >wn cr sin?.. I v 'aae to tame squir-i'€l8, birds and other wild -thingswithout in the least interfering withtheir freedom, if they choose to ilittle patience. Most wild animalswill come where they are not afraidof being -hurt. Tine ml squirrel canbe coaxed to come from his hole andeat corn from the hand of a humanbeing, and birds of all kinds are eas-ily tamed in the same way. One whohas once enjoyed the delight of win-ning the confidence of the wood-folkwill never again wish to keep any ofthem in a cage.

The animal which is bred for thepurpose of domestication, like thelap-dog, the Persian cat. the whit<mouse, or the canary, is usually in-ferior in intelligence to the wild ani-mal, for the very good reason tihat itdoes not need as much "brains to befed. petted and put to sleep as to getone's living in the rnid^t of a throngof enemies. There are two ways, how-ever, in which the keeping of theseanimals can be made really beneficialto children and adults; one is bymaking companions of them, develop-ing all the intelligence they have, andthe other is by choosing pets of asort whose intelligence is alreadyconsiderable. Children should be en-coiiriaiged to .be kind to their pets andto make friends with them, and thiscannot be done unless there Is Intelli-gence on the other side. If the com-fort and well-being of the animal isstudied it will 'be good for the mas-ter as well as the pet, for altruismgenerally works in that way. butcandor will compel most people to ad-mit that nothing of the kind is usual-ly done.
