The Englishman remembers falling against the door with outstretched hands, but nothing more until lie found himself sitting on the steps outside coughing violently, while the phleg- malic keei*er waa for some occult rea son putting n hot key down Ids back Fortunately the snake had only a small part o f her body ncross the Kng- llshman's left side and back Had she encircled him with a complete roll he would have been crushed like an egg shell.— Hunter's Weekly.

LOCKED IN ROOMS OF STEEL After th o T r e a s u r e Away Bsmg Thara Is S a f s ly 8 to w o d la L i t t l a D a n g e r of Ita S tols n D uring tha Vo yag a. We Paid $350 For It S h i p p i n g and C h o c k i n g th o Koga. The natural assumption would he Hint In Hie safeguarding o f the treas ure which the vurluua countries are constantly sending one another hy the hlg ocean fillers there would be re quired the vigilance o f many men. This, however, la uot generally the case, since, on-e the gold Is stored sway lu the rooms set apart for that pur|M>se on the big sld|>s and the ves sel Is well out at seu. no urmed guards are neeessury. Taking the specific euse o f one liner sailing under tho British flag, we find that It has tw o atroug rooms, the smuller o f the tw o being In close prox imity to the captain's office. This one eompartineut has no doubt sheltered gold enough to pay the cost o f the iluci many times over. The walls, the roof and the celling are lined with tw o Inch steel plate, und the room contains noth Ing In the way o f fixtures aavo shelv ing. The locks, which are o f the dou ble variety, are rendered still more se cure by ateel hasps coveting the key holes, and they are provided with mas slve padlocks. The strung rooms, be ing In tho most frequented portion of the vessel, where persons are passing them at all hours o f the day and night, thua receive the beet protection, after alL There are tw o seta o f keys, one o f which la retnlned by the agent in charge o f Hie consignment o f gold and the other o f which remains with the captain. In the case o f the British vessel men tioned there Is another und larger s[>e- cle room, situated next to the provi sion department. This la about twelve feet In length by four In width. It frequently happens that both strong rooms are filled to their utmost capaci ty, and on one occasion this liner car ried some $00.000.000 In gold bullion packed In small kegs bound with ateel hoops. Gold usually la brought to the vessel on which U la to be shlp|>ed the day before the date o f Bailing, and It la atored away carefully before passen gers embark. It arrives at the pier In ordinary trucks under the guard of armed men. The customary method o f getting the gold on board la to haul the kegs up an Inclined chute to the deck by means o f a hoisting engine, hut this method la not followed in variably. Sometimes each keg la placed in a sling and carried on hoard by men detailed for this service. The receipt given by the steamship company seta forth that so many kegs have been received for shipment, not for any stated amount o f gold to the value o f so much. The kegs bear, the government seal tn many Instances, and In such caaea. when they have been safely put In the strong room, tha Iron doors thereof are sealed with gov ernment wax. the Impression being hrxiken only when the official on the other able comes to receive the gold. Tha kegs are checked thrice—when they arc taken from the trucks, when they reach the gangway and when they are placed tn the strong room. Although no artnad guard stands by • t - A. — .. .. m mmm > m an n- . l l o h th a room constantly ao long as the ship la In sight o f laud. Aa a matter o f fact, there la little danger o f ant one steal ing gold In transit on a ship. It would lie necessary that he should shoulder a keg weighing some 200 pounds and vanish with It without being seen. Masters o f vesaela declare gold ts the safest cargo o f any to handle. The total weight o f one consignment o f gold shipped by the British vessel tn question amounted to something like 30.000 pounds, or alxteen tons, and the freight charges amounted to $12,- 000. or, roughly speaking, one-etghth o f 1 per cen t Specie thua shipped la Insured at Ita fo il valua.—Naw York Yours For Nothing Want This Piano?
