Of the poisonous reptiles it says "The cobra (Naja tripudians) is a black snake which raises its head to strike irritated, at the same time ex panding the hood at either side of the neck. I spits at intruders and hisses like a cat, it is known as "ular tedong puss '.' in some parts, too, is "tedong mat a hari." Th word "te dong" in Sarawa is apparently ap plied to all large snakes which Malays consider to be poisonous, and, as our Malays are but ill acquainted with these animals, quite a number of large but harmless forms are designated this term. Th hamadryad (Naja bun garus) is a brown snake, considerably bigger but rarer than the cobra. It is rather shy, but S cornered, like the cobra, it raises its head and ex pands the hood before striking It food is chiefly other snakes. "Less dangerous than these najas are the vipers, of which the most common species is the green viper, which reaches a length/of feet or more. Th head is large and shaped like an ace of spades. This creature is a tree snake and very sluggish Th 'bungarus' are of several species, one, Bungarus fasciatus, of length up to four feet, being black with yellow rings. It is called the 'ular buku tebu' (sugar cane joints) by natives. There are also sea snakes of a species. The tail of a sea snake is flattened and oarlike" Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the pythons there are species. Py thon reticulatus grows to an enor mous size, over twenty It is very fond of pigs, but varies its diet by various animals, including even children. Th oil of this snake is used by Malays as an embrocation for bruises. Th other species of python, Python curtus, is interesting in that ltd flesh tastes like that of fowl—at least, so a say, and they are au thorities on snake flesh, for they eat a number of the large snakes."

If Caesar Rod ney had not made his historic ride there might not have been any free America today. The provisional congress as in ses sion at Philadelphia, each of the thir teen colonies having representatives there. I as a great congress, and a momentous question as before the distinguished body. Th great charter of our freedom had been written by Jefferson, and Benjami Harrison, fa ther and great-grandfather of presi dents, had presented it to congress on Monday, July 1. W at would the Con tinental congress do? In order that our country should be free and independent the declaration must be adopted. This could be done if only the colonies were divided, and there were some good did not believe it best to take this step at this time. Fou of the seven delegates of Pennslyvani a were opposed to it, and, of the Delawar delegates present, Thomas an as in favor of inde pendence, but George Rea as op posed to the measure. Caesar Rodney, the other member, W8 in the southern part of his state in T_J capacity of a brigadier general, organizing and drill ing troops for the coming struggle, of the opposing Pennsylvani a delegates were persuaded to absent themselves, and thus the Keyston State would favor the declaration, but the vote of Caesar Rodney as neces sary to carry the state of Delaware. A messenger as dispatched in hot haste to summon him to Philadelphia, and then for four days the "patriots of '76" talked and maneuvered to de lay the final vote. On Thursday, July 4, congress as to vote on the mo mentous question. On the afternoon of the 3 the messenger found Caesar Rodney Susse county, more than eighty miles from Philadelphia. General Rodney as at that time forty-six years old, with a tall, lean, worn figure, his face scarred by a cancer that as finally to cause his death. Th brave patriot did not hesitate. "Saddle the black!" he commanded, and in ten minutes he had mounted his faithful steed and as galloping as if for life to the noithward. Eighty miles a a from congress, which as waiting for him to declare the independence of the colonies he thought caused him to drive his spurs deep into his horse's flanks and sent him flying along the long, dusty high a that stretched a a toward the Quaker City. I as one of the great rides of history. Tha black steed bore the destinies of America, and his rider knew it, and there as neither halt nor delay.

Th stars faded out of the morning sky, and the sun came up red and fiery, the herald of a sultry day. An still Caesar Rodney kept on his way as yet a miles from Philadelphia. Hi horse v^as jaded, and he as travel worn and covered with dust, but the patriot did not slacken his rem. must be there to vote for the independ ence of America. An he as there. All that hot, sweltering July day the delegates of the colonial congress re talking and voting Independence hall. Th session had begun. Th pres ident, John Hancock, as in the chair, and the clerk, John Dickinson, as calling the colonies one by one. "Vir ginia had voted and Massachusetts and the great state of N York and the little state of Rhode Island, and N Jersey as voting, and Caesar Rodney had not come. Anxious a_d worried, Thoma Mc Kea out to the door of Inde pendence hall. Woul his friend and compatriot be too late? Hi face brightened as he heard the sound of hurrying hoof beats coming up Chest nut street. A foaming, panting steed dashed into the yard. It dusty rider leaped to the ground. Booted and spur red and the dust of his long ride thick on his long flapped coat and iron gray hair, Caesar Rodney entered the hall of congress leaning on his friend Mc Kean's arm. as just in time. he vote of Delawar as being called. George Read voted "Nay." "Aye!" called the clear voice of Thoma McKean. I as a tie. All eyes turned to Caesar Rod ney. Th famous rider cleared his throat, and a a patriot heart beat with pride as he declared in firm tone: "The voice of my constituents and of all sensible and honest men I believe, is in favor of independence, and my judgmen concurs with them therefore I vote for the Declaration," An so Caesar Rodney by his famous ride and by his noble vote helped to settle the question of independence and insured the future celebrations of the Fourth of July. ^4* ,»* I~0s*" At Often. $&4e»*_2_ Doctor—You must take a quarter of an hour's walk before every meal.

If he does he is even a greater hum bug than the rest of the weather proph ets. On the afternoon about which we are speaking I remember setting forth on my walk in the still glow of the tropical calm and wondering rather at the intense stillness of the surrounding forest. The the air grew cooler and the green of the foliage in front seemed to deepen, and presently there as a sound as of a giant waterfall in the distance Waterfalls do not, however, grow louder every second, whereas the noise in front did so Then there as a loud, angry growl, as of a dozen lions. A more and the whole jungle began to roar as if fifty squad rons of heavy cavalry were coming up at a gallop. Then came a drop of rain and a peal of thunder which seemed to a the world stop. Then the storm began Th sky above darkened the trees clattered the brushwood beneath hissed and bow ed itself. A deluge of raindrops blot ted out the narrow view it came, soaking through the densest leaves under which one fled for refuge, striking the grass and sand with mil lions of dull thuds, dashing furiously against the leaves as if they re so many hostile shields, streaking the air with innumerable perpendicular lines and hurling itself with the force of bullets.

It is be lieved to form a block about 600, 000 square miles in area and averag ing a mile and a half in thickness. Ac cording to these statistics, the lump of ice is larger in volume than the whole body of water the Mediterranean, and there is enough of it to cover the whole of the United Kingdo of Great Britain and Ireland with a layer about seven miles thick. If it were cut into convenient slabs and built up equally upon the entire surface of "gallant little Wales it would form a pile more than 120 miles high.
