With the Exception of the Cobra trad Doabmaiter of Africa, No Serpent on Land Kllla So Qnlcklr and Ter. . riblr Do Those of the Oceaa. Fearlessness Is one of the most strik ing characteristics of sea itnakes, and It adds greatly to the danger that Is to be apprehended from them, for It often leads them to attack fishermen and swimmers, nnd even to climb up the anchor chains nnd through the hawse holes and attack the crew, and as the tlto of every ono of the fifty known varieties Is fatal thero Is great fear felt of them In tuo ocean spaces which they Inhabit. These fifty varieties ore all classified under the general title of thanato phldia. Nono of them Is ablo to live anywhere except In ocean water. Every variety and subvarlety is as poisonous es the cobra or tho bushmaster of Af rica. Indeed, with tho eiceptlon of these two land varieties, there Is no snake on land that kills so swiftly and so terribly as do the sea snakes. Ow ing to their fatal weapons nnd their ease and celerity In swimming there ore practically uo enemies which de stroy enough of them to diminish their numbers. Almost all the thanntophklla are beautifully colored, even more gorgeous than nny of tho land snakes, with the posslblo exception of the coral, crass and carpet snakes. They are banded, striped, speckled and blotched with green, olive, yellow, blue and black and present a most brilliant spectacle as ihey aro seen swimming below the sur face of the transparent blue of the Indi an ocean. When they are swimming at the ordinary rato of speed they seem to undulate all over. They do not wind through the water as tho eel does, but their locomotion resembles that of the caterpillar except that it Is fur more graceful, and as they move and twist tho colors play along their sides and backs as they do on tho dolphin. When they dash at their prey at full speed they move llko an arrow, with their beads and nocks thrust straight before thcra If they ore swimming under the snrfneo, or, If they aro darting along tho top of the water, with their heads elevated Just enough to clear the waves. When they aro racing along thus their sole means of locomotion Is their broad, paddle shaped tall, which Is peculiar to all tho sea snakes and forms tho only striking difference be tween them nnd the ordinary lnnd ser peut This paddlo Is used like a steamer's screw nnd has Iinuienso power. Bent sideways It will stop the snake Imme diately as If tho creature had anchored suddenly. When dozing or resting over reefs, which are common In the coral banks, snakes hold fast to the rocks or bottom with their broad tails and will often sway In this way for hours In calm weather. Men may have recovered from the bites of these serpents, but there are certainly nono on record. Most of ithelr victims are Malay and other na tive fishermen, nnd shore dwellers and physicians rarely get to see them. Statistics nro not kept In that part of the world, so It is Impossible to ascertain how many are killed In this way each yoar. Travelers say that thero Is hardly a fishing vlllngo which has not Its tale of death to tell. : Scientists once held to tho opinion that the dcadllnoss of tho bite vub due not to ths venom, like that of tho land makes, but to some property that Scausod blood poison, it-' does the blto of many fishes which m not poisonous In themselves. Hut this opinion was changed after the medical mon on board the British warship Algorlno had inado careful observations of n sailor who had been bitten. They proved Ithat the snakes wore directly poison bus nnd that thoy carry fangs charged (with venom exactly like the cobra. ! The open ocean Is tho homo of the Isea snakes. They do not even ascend Ithe rivers. Their favorite haunts are Ithe arms of the sea, which separate khe Islands of China. India and the bouth Toclflc sens. They don't stay hear the shores, but remain at some distance from the land. They are Inca pable of much movement on land, and after wriggling about and biting sav neclv thoy will stay still till they die. they are found In ninny parts of khe world In the Indlnn nnd Paelflc pecans, from Cape of Good Hope and (Madagascar to the western shores of Manama and from New Zealand to Ijannn. In the bay of Bengal ami the sea around Nlcobars, Moluccn, Timor (and New Guinea. New York Herald. 1 Double FloTreri. ! Nearly all tho double flowers of gnr flens wero first found wild. Double buttercups, double primroses, double daisies, doublo roses nnd many other things wero first discovered among their wild fellows nnd introduced Into tho gardens. Tho florist, however, can produce double flowers, lie watches ilils tenflcnev In nnture. If a flower usually has five petals, nnd ho dis covers thnt some of the stamens have Bomewhat of a pctal-llko character, tho pollen Is taken from these flowers and others In a normal condition fertilised (with tills pollen. The tendency, once Btarted. Is then given to tho progeny, Almost nny species of plant will In this way be cnpable of producing double Bowers. It Is surprising that, with this knowledge, moro attempts at this line bf Improvement In ordinary garden Bowers are not made. Damage to California Cherries Sacramento, May 20. The rain storm which swept over this section Thursday night and yesterday did considerable damage ti fruit.. Cher ries and berries were damaged to the greatest extent. Alder Anderson, manager of the California Fruit Distributors, says: "The greatest amount of damage will be to cherries and berries. All ripeoherrieson the trees are damaged so that they cannot be shipped east, and If tbe min continues, as the ap pearance indicates, the fruit will not be lit tor any purpose. The aotnal loss will I e measured by the duration of the storm, if. tho rain should cease now we would be able to resume pack ing for eastern shipments within live or six days. "The heaviest.erop was of the later varieties, and these, of course, will eulft r materially if the rain should continue. One-third of the crop had been nicked in some parts of the state, but in tbe neighborhood of San Jose, a large cherry center, the amount saved was loss. The ruin will have the eifeot of craekirg snd Ibon rotting the fruit. Ciiotich are shipped directly by tbe growers, and tbe loss will fall upon thorn. "'I he rain wil have little or no eifeot upon other varieties, such as peaches, plums or pears. 1 do not be lieve tbe grapes hare been alluded." Farmers in this valley are alarmed lect the t-torm end rapidly and be fol lowed by a trout, which would ser iously damage the grape crop, it is rarely, howevei, that a frost is exper ienced so Ih'o 1') the month. The vine have i.on . jiired to son e little extent by the wind, and it in .iui,aile that the rain will pack the ground wherever the vinoyards have been prepared for sumii.er irrigiition. In snob caees it will be necessary for re cultivation of the ground, ottiern ite tho crop is upt to b lilit. Kxtra plowing was ntocstitatel twice last seasou by late rains. Fruit Trade Journal.

A New Insect Appears A dispatch fiom GIhscow, Ky, to tho Fruit Trade Jouruul cays: Foul all over this and ajoiuiug c un ties comes tbe complaint of an insect which is destroying tbe fruit trees. Hardly an apple tiee can be found within a radius of iiity miles tbut is no alfected mure or less hy Hie pluRue, and so alarming has tho ritu atiou become that farmers and trull growers are at Ja loss to know wind course to pursue. Hunches of teste can be seen all over the trtej, and an examination revealed that the twig several inches down the limb is dead, having th appearance of 'being toorched,. Home fanners have adopt ed spraying, but as yet no visible re sults have been obtained, J. T. Laure, who lives near Hodgenville, claims that he has discovered a strange iuseot on his trres. It Is smaller than the head of a pin, and about the color ot an orange. Friday afternoon, so be olalms.there was no sign of an insect on the tree and on the following morning tbe tree wis dead having been killed duiing the night by the insectH, which covered the tree by the ii.miuh.Ib.
