CURIOUS TRAP FOR SNAKES Naturalist Telle of Seeing a Biscuit Can Used by Native to Cap ture a Cobra, A naturallBt tells us of an odd kind of anake trap that caught its victim securely. It waa a biscuit can, and In the bottom of It wera some macaroons. , ,' A cobra spied the can, but mouse was ahead of the cobra. The little thief was having a good time regal ing himself on the macaroons, all un conscious that a snake waa preparing to regale Itself on mouse. Into the can went the head of the snake, but the head that went in was destined to come ont less easily. The rough edges of th " -n Irritated the cobra, and in voluuvBrily It dilated its hood. That made It a prisoner. With the hood dilated the head could not be with drawn, and the cobra remained in Its tin prison until morning, when It was easily captured and killed. Stradling, who knows the natives of India as well as he know the snakes of that land,-tells of . an In teresting theory held by these peo ple. They are firmly convinced that for every human being a snake bites It loses one joint When the number of deaths the snake has caused equals the number of Its joints, the venomous head alone remains. The snake has now reached the height of its wicked desires, and at this point It develops wings and triumphantly disappears. An exception to this rule is found on the other side of the world, in the case of the rattlesnake, for the natives of many parts of this country are sjiid to believe that this snake gains a thimble for every man It kills. By counting these some folks pretend to an ability to calculate with pre cision how many persons a particular rattlesnake has bitten. But this Is, of course, as great a superstition as that held by the Hindus. , ; A Voice for Potatoea. Most persons In this country have pitied the men and women on the con tinent of Europe who are compelled to eat bread made wholly or partly of potato flour. Yet here come ex perts of the home economics depart ment of Cornell telling us that pota toes and meat may be a better food combination than bread and meat. These experts declare that there la good reason for favoring potatoes. Meat, eggB and cereals, they say, con tain mineral elements which give an excess of acids, while vegetables, fruit and milk have an excess of bases that neutralize the acid. Meat produces an excess of acid, and the food that ac companies It should, therefore, give an excess of alkali. Rice, bread, maca roni and cornmeal produce acid, and so do not fill the need. But potatoes are the natural accompaniment of meat, because they produce bases. "Most persons," according to these experts, "should make it a point to eat more potatoes than they are now con suming." Buffalo Express. Oil Cans Save Life. A novel idea was responsible for the saving of many lives from the cruiser Hermes after the ship was torpedoed In Dover straits. A sup ply of the life-saving pneumatlo col lars ordered by the admiralty had been expected, but the Hermes had to. put to sea before these were re ceived. When the vessel was torpedoed no assistance waa at hand. . She waa set tling down, and a great disaster threatened, when someone thought of petrol tins, of which 400 were on board. The order was promptly given to empty the tins and screw down the stoppers, and on these tins scores of men who must otherwise bave been drowned kept afloat until help ar rived. Up to Them. -Little James, aged six years, had been taught to pray each night for all his relatives and friends, and conse quently the list had grown quite large. So one night when it came time for the customary prayers he refused to Bay them. Well, well, James!" said his moth er. "Why won't you say them? All good little boys say their prayers." "Yes, but I'm too tired." "Oh, my, that's no excuse. Coma now that's a good boy." Well," relented James, "I guess I'll have to. But, anyhow, I'm not going to pray for everybody. I'm going to cut a lot of 'em out. Some of 'em will have to save themselves." Har per's Magazine. Rabbits on Layaan Island.
