THE RATTLER. j
It Rarely 8ound? It* Not* of Warning
Until Attsokod.
Contrary to the general belief, the
rattler rarely given Its characteristic
note of warning until actually attack
ed. In fact, the sharp, vibrant ring- of
Its terminal appendage Is probably de
signed more to assist this very slug
gish serpent to obtain Its f-^il than to
sound defiance or warning. In the
first place, serpents possess but the
most rudimentary traces of auditory
apparatus and are practically deaf, the
deficiency in the sense of hearing be
ing compensated for by an extreme
sensitiveness of feeling which makes j
them aware of the approach of moving I
objects by the vibration of the ground. 1
Hunters, treading cautiously upon a
soft carpet of moss or leaves to avoid
alarming game, will often step close
to or over a rattler without disturbing
it or receiving warnlug, and while
many Bnakes are seen and killed by
them It Is probable that a far greater
number are passed by unnoticed. All
( snakes are timid and would rather run
than fight and the rattler Is not Invit
ing certain destruction by advertising
Its whereabouts In the brush.? Frauds

CAUGHT THE THIEF.
An Incident Which Illustrates Japanese
Detective Method*.
Recently In the village of Tahara
mura, Japan, all the male Inhabitants
above the age of fifteen years were as
sembled In front of the local Shinto
shrine at the call of the village chief.
A thief had been making depredations
In the local tobacco plantations, and
the chief sought to discover him. Out
lines of the feet of all the villagers
were taken on sheets of paper, and
then these wero compared with the
tracks left by the thief in the tobacco
fields. Nothing resulted from this ex
perlment. The next day the inhabit
ants were called together again. A
great hole was dug in the ground, and
a raging charcoal fire was built In It
| All persons present were ordered to
' walk through tho fire barefooted. It
being declared that no person would
be burned except the guilty one. All
advanced to undergo the ordeal except
one, Shuklchi Shlbata, a man of evil
reputation. He declined to trust his
feet to the redhot coals. Accordingly
he was arrested and soon confessed
his guilt.
FICTION AND FACT.
The Message In the 8tory Book and
In Real Life.
In a magazine:
"I don't like you any more."
Barold Hopllte looked up at the
quaint figure? a boy of six, with a
mouth smenrod with huckleberry pie.
Harold was glum.
"I don't like you any more."
"Why?"
" 'Cause you made sister cry."
"Ethel cry! 1 didn't? I couldn't?
tnake her cry."
"Well, she'8 crying now when yon
Mid nothing when you walked away.
Why didn't you say by-by and klu
her when you're going away? I al
\rtiys do."
"I will! Right now!"
And Harold hastened back to make
up the lovere' quarrel.
In real life:
"Say, sister gave me a piece of pie to
come down and see If you'd gone and
If you hadn't to try to get you back
past where she was sitting on the
porch getting ready to be crying."
