CURIOUS REPTILE DIES AT THE GLEH Spotted Salamander Apparently Couldn't Stand the Indiana Climate. WAS DEADLY POISONOUS

IT 18 CLAIMED THAT THE REPTILE IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE RATTLE SNAKE AND ITS BITE IS CERTAIN DEATH. The spotted salamander which was captured south of the city last Tuesday and placed in Glen Miller zoo by a man named Smith, died Thursday. The reptile has been given to the Earlham sollege authorities who wished to place It in the museum, as such specimens re very rare. Undoubtedly, the attendants of the zoo heaved a sigh of relief when the animal died, for it was deadly poison ous. It is said that the bite of a spot ted salamander would cause death within twenty-four hours and there is no known cure. It is feared more in parts of the country which it frequents, than are the rattle snakes. The captpr of the animal probably was unaware of its power. It was captured with little difficulty and did not show much fight. Superintendent Ilollern did not learn the captor's name, but he . understood that it was found near Elkhorn. The reptile was turned over to a man named Smith, who had even less use for it than the cator. What caused its death after being placed in captivity is not known It is said that this specimen is the sect ond that has ever been captured in this state. Few to whom the animal was exhibited were familiar with it. It resembles a lizard somewhat, but ven more closely a water dog. The reptile was about one foot long.

A SHARP CONTEST Is in Prospect When the House Tackles Postal Savings Bill on Monday. LONG SESSION EXPECTED (American News Service) Washington, D. C, March 26. The House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads will begin consideration of the postal savings bank bill next Mon day. A sharp contest is in prospect. Chairman Weeks says the committee will prepare the measure which he hopes will be ready for the House by the first week in April. It is believed by some congressmen that Congress will be ready to adjourn within the next ten weeks, but a look at the House calendar and a review of committee work makes it clear that this is not probable, if the President insists on carrying out his legislative progress: .Speaker Cannon said today that he did not look, for adjournment much before June 15. THE GIANT'S CAUSEWAY. Formation and Appearance of This Odd Freak of Nature. The Giant's causeway is situated at the northern extremity of County Antrim, a short distance from Port Rush, Ireland. It consists of countless hosts of basaltic pillars, varying in shape from a pentagon to an octagon, the average length of each column or pillar being about eighty feet, the whole stacked so closely together that a knife blade could hardly be inserted between them. But the formation of these pillars Is not the least wonderful part about them, for, although they may be counted by thousands and tens of thousands, each column is fashioned with a symmetry that suggests a mason's handiwork. Their composition Is a perfect fusion of one-half flinty earth, one-quarter lime and clay, onequarter almost pure iron, each pillar being divided into regular lengths or joints which come together as a perfect natural ball and socket union. Although to be found in small detachments (imbedded in the cliffs, sands, etc.) for some distance along the shore, the principal aggregations forming the causeway proper consist of three projections or tongues known as little, middle and grand causeways. These singular columns are of different lengths and present an astonishing appearance as they stand, an army of at least 40,000 strong marshaled on the shores of Erin as if ever ready to do battle with the rising tide. THE COVETED PLANT. Just a Bit of Human Nature In Florist's Shop. Two little girls entered a florist's shop. So near each other in size were they that they would bare been taken for twins. They bad 20 cents 10 cents apiece and with this sum saved from pennies for some time back they were going to buy a plant for mamma. One stepped out a little in advance of the other when the door closed behind them. The other was shy. looking timidly, but confidently, at her sister. The woman in charge of the small shop looked up as the two mites of humanity paused in front of her. "Well?" she said encouragingly. "We want to buy a plant. said the little spokeswoman. Then she added, in order to avoid later embarrassment. "The cheapest one you've feot." "Ah, said the florist, going to the window, "here is a nice little plant for 25 cents." The little sister turned quickly to the other, but still smiling bravely. "Baby, we've Just missed it a nickel." she said. Yet not three minutes later they Issued from the shop bearing the plant between them, and as the woman deposited the two silver dimes in the cash drawer her eyes must have caught their gleam, for there was something shining there.

CAII'T BURY DEAD

On Sunday in Elkhart for the "Blue Laws" Statute Prevents It. EVERYTHING MUST CLOSE ONE (American News Service) Elkhart, Ind., March 26. As a re sult of the city (and police authorities effort to enforce the "blue laws" sta tute of Indiana. Elkhart undertakers have notified their patrons that it will be impossible to bury the dead tomorrow and that it is necessary to postpone funerals until Monday. The announcement was made after pro prietors of livery stables had been notified that they must not open for business tomorrow. Formal notice has been served on al! business men that theaters, drug stores, florist shops, automobile garages, horse and boat liveries, fruit and soft drinks, and confestionary stands, billiard halls. news stands, meat and grocery houses must remain closed. Musicians must not appear in public and hotels and restaurants can sell only meals. There is no saloon in Elkhart and for that reason they are not included in the order for the police. SQUARING THE CIRCLE. An Ancient Problem That Has Turned Many Brains Dizzy. The oldest of problems is that of squaring the circle L e., of telling the precise length of the side of a square whose area will equal the area of a given circle. The first attempt we know of was made 500 years before the exodus of the Jews. Since at least 1300 B. C Chinese brains have turned dizzy over it. The oldest mathematical book in the world written about 2000 B. C, by Ahmes, scribe to an Egyptian king, and now resting In the British museum pretends to solve it, but it doesn't. Our old friend Euclid prudently avoids the subject. Books have been written to prove that It Is impossible, others to prove the Impossibility of proving Its Impossibility, others again to prove the impossibility of proving Its possibility. One scientist, a professor of Zurich, adopted some fifty years ago a rather original method of tackling the problem. He divided the floor of a great loft Into thousands of small squares and spent his days In solemnly throwing needles about and noting the number of times they fell clear of the chalk lines, but It did not help him much. The important ratio which would settle the question has been carried to 500 places of decimals.1 And still it is not exact. If you have a taste for sums you can start and carry It to 600 and see what happens. At any rate, you will soon find your hair getting grayer. London Answers. A HUMILIATED MONKEY. The Crippled Old Despot Was Made to Feel His Mighty Fall. The following amusing story Is told by J. L- Kipling in his "Man and Beast In India" of the humiliation of a monkey whom physical disablement pre vented from maintaining bis despotic position as leading male of the troop: "One morning there came a monkey chieftain, weak and limping, having evidently been worsted In a severe fight with another of his own kind. One band hong powerless, his face and eyes bore terrible traces of bat tle, and be hirpled slowly along with a pathetic air of suffering, supporting himself on the shoulder of a female a wife, the only member of his clan that bad remained faithful to him aft er his defeat "We threw them bread and raisins, and the wounded warrior carefully stowed the greater part away in his cheek pouch. The faithful wife, seeing her opportunity, holding fast his one sound hand and opening his mouth, deftly scooped out the store of raisins. Then she sat and ate them very calmly at a safe distance, while he mowed and chattered In impotent rage. "He knew that without her help be could not reach home and was fain to wait with what patience he might till the raisins were finished. This was probably her first chance of disobedi ence or of self assertion in her whole life, and I am afraid she thoroughly enjoyed it." China's Great C. E. Convention. China's great Christian Endeavor convention of l'.J0 met In Nanking, and the large mat tent erected for the meeting proved inadequate, so admission was by ticket or badge only. Many of the Nanking people had to be turned away, but at the close of the convention a series of revival meetings opened In the tent, and to these all were Invited. The structure itself was said to be most suitably and beautifully decorated with Christian Endeavor banners and Sags of all nations. The gathering proved that Christian Endeavor Is meeting a long felt need In China, the training of leaders. The older missionaries say it has surpassed their greatest expectations and are delighted to see the Chinese men and women creditably taking the lead in these large meetings. Chinese women have never before spoken in any but women's meetings. The earnestness and intensity of purpose which characterized these meetings was said to be wonderful. Ohio Endear ort-r.
