SKINNING RATTLERS ALIVE.
Process Necessary to Take Off the
Skin In the Best Condition.
Keuben Etters, game warden for the
Spruce Run Rod and Gun club, of
Belleionte, Pa., lately told of experi
ences he has had with rattlesnakes.
Speaking' of snakes in general, he said:
"I fear copperheads because they do
not give warning and can strike with
out being coiled, an act not possible
with, any other specimen of the reptils
family. . Copper snakes ore invariably
fotmd along the water and never make
an effort to escape, no matter how good
on opportunity they may have. They
prefer giving battle to anything that
may cross their path.
"Rattlesnakes, as a rule, are found
along the rocks away from the water,
3tud they iiever strike before giving
warning unless surprised; neither can
they strike unless they are in coil. Oh,
. yes; I kill many rattlers every sum
mer. Last summer I slaughtered some
thing more than 200 big fellows, and
I skinned every one of them alive. I
always skin a rattler alive, because in
killing them first you can hardly avoid
. rpoiling the hides, and rattlesnake
ckins are becoming quite valuable of
late. The process I adopt is this: I
place a forked stick over the reptile's
ttead and hold it to the ground. Then,
placing the stick under the pit of my
arm, I catch the snake by the tail with
one hand and with my pocketknife in
the other hand I rip it open on the
belly from the tail to the head. Then
loosening the skin, from the body at
the tail I place my foot on the stub
Bnd yank tihe hide ofE in much the same
way as you would skin an eel- I
tackled a big one last summer, and
before I could get control of its tail
the reptile succeeded in coiling itself
around my arm a third .time, and came
near getting its head out from under
the forked stick; but I finally stretched
it and secured the skin without a blem
ish." N. Y. Sum. - - : :,"V ; "
I Goods Made from Iron.
, Munhall estimates that the total
value of goods manufactured from iron
Cii the world, in 1S90 was 212,200,000;
Df Bteel, 256,700,000, making a total of
C 368.900.000. Ghicag-o Journal.
The Greater United States.
. The distance across the United States
Is found to be 2,625.2 geographical
miles from the lighthouse six miles
north of Cape May, N. J., to the light
house six ' miles south of Punta
'Arenas, following the thirty-ninth
parallel of latitude as closely
as possible. This is - conceded to
be about the mean breadth of the
country. A glance at the map will
show that the United States is much
vider toward the north and much nar
rower toward the gulf coast, but the
thirty-ninth parallel is about as fair an
average as can be drawn. The meas
urements were made by triangulation
that is, by taking observations from
fixed landmarks and verifying them by
astronomical tests. The distance
across the continent thus obtained is
140 feet longer than that reported by
Eessel3 in '1856, and 98 feet longer than
that reported by Prof. Clark in 1896.

A GENERAL WAR.
Probable
Result of a
Uprising.
European
Attltkde of the Different Rations To-
" ward Each Other The Effect
It Would Have on
America.
- If the alliance of the three emperors,
of Austria, Russia and Germany, holds
out, what can the rest of Europe do?
The Balkan and other eastern and south
eastern provinces have been led into the
combination, 'giving three emperors, it
is estimated, a fighting force of little
short of 12,000,000 men. It seems to be a
combination of eastern Europe against
western ' Europe and western Europe
has the weakest end of the continent.
France, Italy and England together
have a fighting strength of hardly 8,000,
000 men and Fiance has not been on the
best of terms, historically at least, with
either Italy or England. The disposi
tion of Spain and Portugal and Holland,
and Belgium and Norway and Sweden
and Denmark in event of an outbreak of
a general European war would be prob
lematical. They would try to remain
neutral, probably, if that should be pos
sible. Spain, has enough to do to put
own the insurrections in her colonies.
Norway and Sweden are practically
isolated from the rest of Europe and
could profit by their situation and loca
tion. Holland and Belgium would be
right between the contending powers
in northern Europe. The natural affilia
tions of those two little but populous
countries would be with western Eu
rope. Belgium is half French and Hol
land has no love for Germany, for Ger
many is generally suspected of having
designs on that country.
At home England might have trouble
with Ireland, the Irish leaders would de
mand large concessions or give the rul
ing island a great deal of trouble. On
the sea, France, Italy and England com
bined have two-thirds -of the naval
strength of Europe , and could sweep
everything before them, but the great
war would not be fought on water, but
on land and that land in the vicinity of
the Mediterranean. In the division of
the spoils, for it would be a war of
spoliation, -Russia and Germany and
Austria would help themselves and the
rest would get nothing.
Such might be the course of a general
European, war, which, according to
many statesmen versed in foreign
affairs, now seems .probable. It would
be the most destructive war the world
las ever seen. France and Germany
could not fight on the same side and
Germany and England could get along
no better together, for the anti-German
feeling in England has become acute.
Germany apd France have contended
and may contend again for territory,
but Germany and England may in the
future contend for the commerce of the
world. ., Such at least are the. hopes and
ambitions of the Germans, who have
already gone everywhere with , their
wares. In the general European war,
Greece and Turkey, who would have
been the cause of it, would be lost sight
of.
What effect would a European war
have on America? At first the effect
would be increased prices for all Amer
ican products and manufactures. Eu
rope would eat everything that this,
continent could raise. . Millions of men
would be taken from the producers and
added to the consumers. . Prices in this
country would go up with a bound and
stay up. This is no doubt aJluring to
some Americans. But in the end would
it be a blessing to this country? We
think not. The increased prices would
be a benefit to some, but a hardship to
others. We have consumers as well as
producers, in this country, and if the
former receives more for what he has to
sell, he would also pay more for what
he has to buy. And after the great war
was over would come a period of de
pression, sooner or later, the ' steady
consumption of American - products
would be interfered with, because of
the disturbed industries and condi
tions. It is nojv generally recognized
that action and reaction are equal.
Americas position an event of a,
great European war would be that of
strict neutrality. It would be a strug
gle in which we could take no sides,
and in which our affections would be
greatly divided, although the prepon
derance of sympathy would be witn
the nations of western Europe, both be-
cause they aTe nearer to us geographie
ally and nearer to us . by race and
blood. There , would be plenty of
work for the American navy, however,
to protect our poTts from marauders,
j and to protect the rights of Americana
abroad. lowa state ltegister.
