SNAKes «ND NOTHING ELSE.

The ole Product eof Linkville, a Town In Oregon,

_ Linh ville, or Kiamath Falls, is situ

ated i. an obscure corner over the Cali

fornia border line in Oregon and may be rea hed in 24 hours’ travel from San Francisco. You have only to take the sorthern bound train for Ager; thence s stage |ine of about 20 miles conducts you ta yO destination.

Chere is a bridge in Binkville that spens

Kiam th river. From this bridge, which ig a Vintage point as far as view is con crped, & most extraordinary sight meeir the eyes. Along the river banks, atirreg viar intervals of a few yards, are see! dark balls ranging from a foot to three feet in diameter. They are stationary and ws passive as a bowlder, which they re

gomb)e in color. But if a stone is hurlec

atany of these strange spheres, to your horror snakes will crawi of is every di rection, and the ball will melt away as lard »>elts in a frying pan. The repulsive creat \ires that have thus been coiled up ip » perfect sphere glide away under rocks, ®0d one minute later not a snake is to be @en in that particularspot. But the other balls of snakes in the vicinicy are little

disturbed by the stone. A close inspec- tion will reveal only a moving head or i ‘ing tail in the mass that before yked like an immovable bowlder. Those that were scattered, however, may later seek the neighboring spheres or in a few minv ‘es slink out of their hiding places and »eassemble themselves in balls. Linkville is in avery barren district Noth ng whatever grows upon the rocky

goil, not even sagebrush. And so the river banks, which are amass of driit- wooc. and rocks, seem a befitting piace for anek s But it is surprising that they should develop in such great numbers. y not rolled in balls, they may be seen siipp. ng in and out among the rubbish, and ground for yards will be a squirm- ing tiggling mass.

[heso snakes ars, perfectly harmless Inde. «d, if it were not for this fact, Link- ville would not be habitable, for, while the mediate neighborhood of the river is t eir favorite haunt, they roam for

man’ hundreds of yards away and may be secn along the roadways and around the houres and creeping over the porches They possesss a marked degree of tamie- ness. You may pick them up with im- pun ty, and children play with them on the « oorsteps,

Toe Linkville snakes are dark in colvr, with two yellowish stripes on their backs. The average size is about 1'4 inches in diar eter and a yard in length, though man) ere smaller, and some attain muws greater proportions — San _ Francisco Caronicle.

TRAVELING IN EUROPE. Tu.ese Who Know the Ropes Can Secure Any Comfort.

Rich foreigners traveling on the conti neni subject themselves to many annoy ances which strike the American first class traveler as entirely unnecessary, but they also take solid comfort in their own way aiid according to princely lights. Barring buxiiries to which the great railway cor por tions bere have accustomed us, the moces of getting about In European coun- tries «re not to be despised. On the other side voyagers still voyage <vith all their lug:cage in their laps or on the seats of the com partment, and because of this time honored custom a regular class of thieves ply from one end of the steel thorough- fares to the other, ever on the alert for the satchel of jewels or the unwary stranger with valuables in a hand bag.

The reason wealthy persons burden the:nselves with such things is there is al- ways danger of the larger baggage being folbed in transfer. No one has ever been able to keep a strap on his or her trunks, porters on the other side coolly removing them under the very eyes of the owner Great thefts have been committed in Pronce and Italy on the different railway lines, either at the station where the lug- gaze was put on board the train or by those officials in charge cf it before it

eched its destination. No tourist who has thus suffered has been able to get re- drvss, and hence the native, aware of the wekness of these railway oflicials, carr!:s the tempting hand beg which in its time may also disappear.

ut aside from these eccentricities and also the bother of paying for baggage by weight, the wealthy man who has lived abroad long. enough to know the ropes certainly travels en prince. His regs and hi: cushions are a atudy. His e!aborate dressing bag, his books, his facilities for taking something nourishing en route, aro marvels of entertaining completeness to the American who bounds from New York to San Francisco and is cared for by a road that ministers to every want.— Boston Herald.

Giving Flowers.

Yn Connecticut a few years ago lived s lady who had a beautiful flower garden, in which she took great pride. The whok peighborhood was proud of it, too, and pee ple drove miles to see it. She fastened twe larze baskets on the outside of her fences next to the road, and every morning thest were filled. with cut flowers—the large showy kinds in one basket and the deli cate, fragile kinds in the other. All the schoo! childrer going by helped themse)ves and studied the better for it, and busines: men took a breath of fragrance into their dusty offices which helped the day along Even the tramps were welcome to all the beauty they could get into their forlorn iives

“You cut such quantities,’’ some onc said to her. ‘‘Aren’t you afraid you wil rob yourself?”’

‘*The more I eut the more I have,’’ she answered. ‘‘Don’t you know that if plants are allowed to go to seed they stop bloom ing? I love to give pleasure, and ii i profit as well, for my liberal cutting is the secret of my beautiful garden. I am liks the man in ‘ Pilgrim’s Progress,’ the mors I give away the more I have.

A Water Lily Pond.

An admirable pond seen some years sinet was made in the following manner: A hole some 12 feet in diameter an 5 féet ir depth was first dug, and this was plastervc with mortar to the depth of 4 inches a’ the sides and bottom. A piece of lead pipe Was put in to make the desired drain, anc due respect was’ paid to constructing 4 place outside of where it went through, sc that the water would drain off through ¢ layer of rocks and sand. When the mor tar was dry, it was treated to a coat of cis tern cement. In the center was construct ed a miniature island of stones and earth and upon if was a mass of foliage anc flowers, while pink, white and yellow wa ter lilies filled the space around it, and some tadpoles grew to be sedate frogs un. der the shade of the broad leaves. One year half a dozen dwarf callas and a lot oi old fashioned wandering jews made the island a fairylike place, und several years Jater amary)lis plants of many colors revel. ed in the sun and moisture of the island. No one who has not seen ane of the minia ture ponds can imagine their beauty.— Vick’s Magazine.

Dangers of Pony Express Riding.

In The Century there is an article on “The Pony Express,’’ seph, Mo., and San Francisco, written by W. F. Bailey. The author says:

Considering tae danger encountered, the percentage of fatalities was extraor- dinarily small, Far more station em- ployees than riders were killed by the indians, and even of the latter more were killed off duty than on. This can be explained by the fact that the horses furnished the riders, selected as they were for speed and endurance, were far superior to the mounts of the Indians.

There is only one case on r cord where a rider was caught. and that was swing to his having been surrounded. This occurred in Nebraska, along the Platte river. He was shot, and several days later his body was found. His pony, still bridled and saddled, was also found with the mail intact. It was transferred to another horse and soon forwarded to its destination. In laying out the route through the Indian coun- try pains were taken to avoid anything that would afford cover for an ambush: ed foe.

Oue of tke greatest dangers encoun- tered by the pony express riders was from immigrants and others who mis- took them for Indians. bi those days it was shoot first and investigate after- ward, provided the shooter survived to make an investigation. A number of the riders met their death in this way, be- ing mistaken for Indians, horse thieves or road agents. It is a strange but nota- ble fact that the Indians often stood and saw the daring riders fly past without offering to molest them. There wasa mystery about it that mace it ‘‘bad medicine’ to interfere Witla thes. Su- perstitions as they were, they seldom hothered with any bing that they could not understand.

A b~ruviiian Indian Story.

Bere is a Brazilian Indian story, says the New York Times. The jaguar ard the monkey met. The jaguar had a lus- cious bunch of plantains which the monkey craved. ‘‘I will gladly give you the plantains,’’ said the jaguar, ‘‘pzo- viding you catch a fawn for me.’”’ ‘* \creed,’’ cried the mcnkey. ‘‘But,’’ added the jaguar, ‘‘if you don’t get the fawn you must promise to let me bite a mouthful out of you.’’ ‘* Agreed,’’ once more cried the gleefu! monkey. The

moukey ate the plantains, and the little

matter about the fawn quite slipped his memory.

Then one day the jaguar met the monkey and insisted on taking his pay out of the monkey’s hide. The busine.s, © becoming serious, was left to the pec- cari to decide. ‘‘It seems all right enough,’’ said the peccari, ‘‘only this: How am I to determine what is the ex- act size of a jaguar e mouthful and a.so where is be tobite? He had better reier the matter,to the big snake.’’ The big snake took the subject under considera- tion. His judgment was that he would have to swallow the jaguar, the monkey exd the peccari. The jaguar and peccari | he did at once assimilate, but theamon- key, being nimble, escaped,

What Bothered Him.

‘““When I wasa young man,”’ says a

EKXAMINER office and at Carters’ and Haszgard & Moore's Bookstores.

well known civil engineer, ‘‘I was sur- veying the route of a proposed railway. An old farmer with whom I stopped for a time admitted one day, when he saw me figuring in the field, that mathemat- ics always seemed a wonderful thing to him. Being young and enthusiastic, I began to enlarge its wonders, telling him how we could measure the dis- tances to different planets, aud even weigh them; how we cou’d ascertain the height of mountains without scaling them and many other things which | meant should astonish him.

‘“*“You can imagine how he set me back when he replied to this brilliant array of facts by saying: ‘Yes, yes, them things does seem kinder cur’as, but what allus bothered me was to under- stand why yon bave to carry one fur ev'ry ten, but if you don't the durned thing won’t come out right.’’’—New York Tribune.

“Billington’s Sea.”

There is tangible evidence that the pious passengers of the Mayflower were not entirely without a sense of humor. Back of Plymouth over the bill upon which they planted their cannon isn large fresh water pond, perhaps a mile in diameter, which, it appears from the records, was discovered by John Bil- lington while he was prowling around ene night, probably on a scouting expe- dition Jooking for Indians. In the morn- ing he reported that he had found the sea in that direction and there was a lively dispute between him and the oth- er pilgrinis as to the accuracy of his in- formation. He stuck to his theory with the same tenacity that he adhered to bis religion, and to this day that pond is

;called “*Billington’s sea.’? — Chicago

PRECIOUS METALS.

Gold and Miatinem Are Cheap Com. pared With Some of Them,

**The majority of people when arkeg to nume the most precious metals ogg. ally mention gold as first, plaiinuns ag second and silver as third,’’ said the pare of « large assaying and refine

ng establishment to the writer recently, *Now, let us see how near the troth they would be. Gold is worth abong $250 per pound troy, platinum $130, gad silver about $12.

**We wil] now compare these prices with those of the rarer and Jess welj # kuown metals, To take them in aipha. § hetical order barfum, the metal which Davy isolated from its ore, baryta, ig 1808, sells for $950 a pound when it jg sold at all, and calcium is worth $1,899 a pound. “irium is a shade higher. Itg cost is $160 an ounce, or $1,220 pound. These begin to look like fabu. # lous prices, but they do not reach the highest point, chromium being $200, § Cobalt falls to about half the priceoft # silver, while didymium, the metal is. § lated by Masander, is the same fr as calcium. Then comes gallium, which # is worth $3,250 an ounce. With this i metal the highest price is reached, and J it may well be called the rarest and most precious of metals,

*‘Glucium is worth $250 per cunce; indium, $150; iridium, $658 a janthanium, $175, and lithium, g1¢0% per ounce. Nidium costs $128 per ounce; osmium, palladium, platinum, potas. # sium and rhodium bring respectively § $640, $400, $130, $32 and $512 pound. Strontium costs $128 an ou tantaum, $144; tilurium, $9; the $272; vanadium, $5206; yttorium, $1 and zinconium, $250 an ounce, -~ §

‘*Thus we see that the commonly re | ceived opinion as to what are the most § precious metals is quite erroneous, By- J rium is neariy four times as valuableas § gold and gallium more than 160 times # as costly, while many of the cther met- # als mentioned are twice and thriceas valuable. Aluminium, which cost and $9a pound in 1896, is now ~ , duced as ches. ply ae are iron, zine, ; and copper.
