SECRETS OF SN AKE CHARMING.
Fen t* Will eh Are Credited to the
Reptile’* Intelligence Only Tricks
of the Trnde.
From the New’ York Times.
A few days ago there appeared in one of
the daily papers a wonderful story of a
snake, which was charmed by the strains
of a Jew's-harp. The story was to the ef
fect that a countryman, meeting a dan
gerous reptile in a road, was horrified at
seeing the creature prepare to attack him.
Being an enthusiastic performer upon the
Jew's-harp, he immediately struck up the
tune "St. Patrick’s Day in the Morning,”
which either paralyzed the serpent with
astonishment or sent a series of sentimen
tal chills down its undulating vertebrae.
At any rate, it discarded all hostile In
tentions and became motionless, when the
countryman mercilessly ground its head
Into the dust.
This is an example of the many "snake
stories" which appear constantly before
the eyes of credulous humanity. It orig
inates, like ail of its kind, from supersti
tious sources. Snakes are utterly devoid
of any sense of appreciation of music.
They have no ears, and, although they
may distinguish vibrations of heavy sounds
111 Kill their delicate scales, a voracious,
hungry serpent is entirely ignorant of the
presence of a chirping bird, providing it
does not see or scent its prey. The fa
miliar exhibitions of the East Indian fa
kirs, during which the deadly cobra is
made to "dance" to the music of a flute,
have led many to believe that these crea
tures are extremely sensitive to the sound
of music. But exhibitions of this charac
ter are only tricks practiced by the clever
Hindu, and the cobra, instead of being in
a quiescent, charmed condition, as it
waves its body to and fro, is really in a
fit of intense anger.
Not long ago a large cobra was In the
possession of Dr. Joseph C. Thompson of
Roscbank, S. I„ an assistant surgeon in
the United States navy. This reptile was
purchased by Dr. Thompson in South Af
rica. It was then in the possession of some
professional snake charmers. After it had
left their hands it was made to go through
a lively performance without the accom
paniment of the weird music of the fakir.
The operation of making the cobra dance
is very simple. The reptile has the char
acteristic habit of elevating the forward
part of the body from the ground when an
noyed. spreading its neck or hood, and
glaring fiercely at the object of Its anger.
When In this position its keen eyes watch
eagerly for a chance to deliver a deadly
blow, observing every movement of the
object or |>erson in front of It. If one
moves, no matter how slightly, there Is a
eorres|ionding nervous movement on the
part of the snake. Here the entire secret
of the snake dance is explained. When the
Hindu opens the snake basket the cobras
rise ominously to their peculiar position
of defense. He now commands the snakes
to dance, at the same time beginning n
lively tune upon his flute and swaying his
body from sidejio side in time to the mu
sic. The nervous cobras fol.ow every mo
tion of the supposed charmer. They are
not dancing to the music, but, intensely
angered, are seeking to revenge them
selves upon their human captor.
The snake-charming act of the bespangl
ed female, with the giant boas and ty
phons at the circus. Is even more simple.
The large snakes used In these exhibitions
arc. in the first place, of a harmless na
ture. Secondly, they are most inoffensive
in their habits. The iazy boa will He for
hours, or days, motionless in his cage,
and when suddenly awakened from a long
nap, is utterly indifferent to what is go
ing on around it. After a few weeks in
captivity these huge reptiles become very
tame, and seem to enjoy being handled by
one familiar with their movements. The
chief requisites of a "snake charmer” are
great deliberation and sufficient nerve to
handle a ten-foot boa or anaconda with
out the slightest hesitation. A nervous
movement is opt to annoy ihe serpent, and
cause It to bite, while if treated gently
and handled with movements correspond
ing to its sluggish habits, it evinces the ut
most good nature. .
Accounts have been puWished of large
snakes coiling themselves about the object
of their annoyance and demonstrating in
an exceedingly uncomfortable, if not dan
gerous. manner the power of their scaly
bodies. The characteristic is poplarly sup
posed to be commonly resorted to by the
"boa constructor" but the Idea Is purely
erroneous and originates from an aversion
to the serpent race from which have
Sprung innunv rable fallacies and siqxirstl
lions.
—“Farewell!" he exclaimed. "Perhaps
we shall meet in the future life?”
The beautiful, good girl shuddered. "Mis
cream!" she sneered, scornfully.
“Ah, yes!" faltered the man; "but you
may come down on a slumming tour, don't
you know!"—Puck.

largo Steamer Built in Scotland to
Avoid lfttrhor Illicit —Schooner Fan
nie 1.. Child and Hrliinli Schooner
Syanara Floated liy Propeller
Towboat Co.—Utlier Notes of Inter
est.
An Important experiment has been made
at Glasgow in the and sign of a cargo steam
ship. with a view to avoiding harbor dues.
A Scotch firm has just had a 508-ton
steamship built, and, while on the Coad
line she can carry 650 tons! h. r net regis
ter tonnage, on which dues are calculated.
Is at only 79, or for every 100 tons of carry
ing capacity possessed by the vessel, there
are apparently only 12 tons assessable for
dues. In thus obtaining an exceptionally
small register tonnage a considerable sav
ing in ordinary dues Is effected. The own
ers declare that the requirements of a sec
tion of their tmde compel them to have
boats of large capacity with the smallest
possible assessable tonnage. The experi
mental steamship will be closely watched,
and no doubt, if she he successful, there
will follow a rush to build vessels of the
new type.
The schooner Fannie L. Child, which
cleared for Boston over a month ago with
a cargo of lumltir, nnd after waiting for a
fair wind near the quarantine station,
met with a very unfair one on Oct. 2,
which placed her high and dry on the
marsh, was floated yesterday. She Is ap
parently in first-class condition, and will
proceed to her destination to-day.
The British bark Syanara, bound for
Halifax, N. S., went to sea yesterday af
ter having been pulled off shore at quar
antine, where she was blown Oct.
2, by the tugs of the Propeller Tow
lioat Company. Her deck load of lumber
was lightered before an attempt was made
to move her. It was afterwards placed
on board and she left In good shape for her
destination.
The British steamship Glomin, from
Shields, arrived yesterday, consigned to
the Georgia Export and Import Company.
She is chartered to load cotton for Liver
pool. It will be remembered that the
Gloamin was (n collision with the British
steamship Ranza in the English Channel
two months ago. In which both ships were
damaged. The Ranza is expected here
soon, and perhaps both captains will meet
and talk over their perilous accident.
Liverpool port statistics show that dur
ing the past month 10,551 emigrants sailed
from there for the United States, and 3,124
for British North America, bringing the
totals for the nine months ended Sept. 30
up to 53.530 for this country, and 21,835 for
Canada.
The steamer Bermuda has been charter
ed by the West India Trading Company
of Baltimore as the first of a fleet of ves
sels they are to operate between Baltimore
and West India ports. The steamers are
to bring cargoes of fruit from Jamaica and
Cuba, and will seek outward business of
general cargo. The Bermuda was the fa
mous filibuster which made a record run
ning the blockade of Cuba and landing
supplies and ammunition for the insurgents
before the declaration of war.
There is likely to be considerable trouble
in getting the fleet of lake boats which
have recently been chartered by the At
lantic Transportation Company to Mon
treal. The first of the vessels to go down
the St. Lawrence river, the steel steamer
Aragon, is badly ashore at the Cedar, and
the _ Lind ley, a wooden steamer and one of
the "largest of the ships. Is also ashore and
will he a Jong time reaching the coast.
The fleet includes four steamers and 39
sailing vessels. Since it started lake
freights have advanced from 40 to 90
cents, and are sure to reach SI.OO.
The Norwegian hark Margrethe, Capt.
Larsen, from Liverpool, arrived yesterday
with a cargo of salt consigned to C. M.
Giltiert & Cos.
The four masted schooner Annie M.
Anderson, Capt. Taylor, from Baltimore,
arrived yesterday with a cargo of coal
consigned to the C. H. Dixon Cos.
The British steamship Ollvedene, from
this port for Havre, arrived at Newport
News Monday with boilers leaking.
The steamer Clifton yesterday brought
from St. Helen's Island 700 sacks of sea
island cotton seed for foreign shipment
by the steamship Lueina, which is loading
here for Liverpool.

...PROMPTNESS...
Is one of the Virtues of the Printing Business.
j* d* k j* j*
llflany Printers disregard this virtue and are
continually in “hot water.” which eventually
brings on a “ coolness ” that stops the movement
of the presses.
The MORNING NEWS, always executes work
promptly if a job cannot be finished at an ap
pointed time, the order is not taken —nor the work
undertaken. We regulate our work in a manner
to keep the presses always on the move and at
the same time to execute it PROMPTLY.

BRITISH JEW CRIMEA.
Smoking Is Done on the Installment
Plan by the Mntlves.
From the Queenslander.
What strikes the visitor first and most
when he reaches British New Guinea is
the gigantic fact that this immense colo
ny, embracing over 90,000 square miles and
a population, according to latest computa
tions. of 350,000, has been brought under
the direct control of the British govern
ment within the last decade. The admin
istration of justice is bereft of nearly all
formality. All the proceedings are fully
explained to the parties concerned.
The judge in the highest court sits in his
ordinary dress, and takes the evidence in
a most painstaking manner, judging by
the one instance which came under no
tice, and the people seem to have confi
dence in him, and, as a rule, in the mag
istrates also. Asa rule, the natives he
saw were of fairly good physique, those
on the northeast being somewhat taller
than the average on the southeast coast.
They live in passably comfortable dwell
ings; most of their villages are clean, and
they are free from serious diseases. !On
the whole, now that tribal wars and
massacres of coast dwellers by hillmen
have ceased, the condition of the native
is a tolerably happy and contented one.
Smoking is common all through the pos
session, the natives using the wild tobac
co leaf, but preferably the manufactured
"trade” article when procurable.
The pipe, or baubau, is a very different,
Instrument from that in use among white
people, and is far more economical. It is
usually a piece of bamboo, from one foot
to two feet long and over an inch in
diameter, one end being partially open,
iho other closed by being cut off close to
the joint. Near the closed end is* a small
hole, like the aperture of a flute. Info this
the native places his tobacco, which is
rolled up in the leaf of a particular tree—
or in paper if procurable—lights it, and
draws at the open end of the pipe until
it Is filled with smoke.
He takes a few whiffs, and then the
pipe is passed around to all who desire it,
the smoker in most cases swallowing the
smoke. In this way a little tobacco goes
a long way. Their other luxuries are
betelnut and sugar cane. Dealing with
the land question, the writer says the in
ducements to farmers from Australia or
elsewhere to rush to take up land in New
Guinea arc infinitesimal. The only fact
or that will develop the country is capital
Plant System.

and plenty of it, and even then the re
turn will be problematical for some years.
Rubber is the only article likely to yield
8 present profit. Cocoanut and its pro
ducts are almost unsalable, and then un
less the trees are already on land purchas
ed from the natives they will have to be
grown, which means several yeats wait
ing for fruit. Gold is always an "un
known” quantity, respecting which it is
impossible to give any forecast, but it is
safe to say that in New Guinea it has
cost far more in labor, suffering and
life than It is worth. Osmiridium has been
found, but in very small quantities.
In fact, everything but rubber points to
hard work, heavy expenditure, and accu
mulated compound interest before profit
can be hotied for. The distant may. how
ever, pre.ent a brighter picture, but, as
connected with every phase of pioneering
and agriculture, the risks are great. An
other difficulty is the matter of labor.
The native is a stranger to anything like
regular daily toil. His wants are few and
almost all of them are supplied with very
little exertion on his part.
Cocoanut, sago, taro, bananas and yams
are his principal food, being varied occa
sionally by pig, tvallaby, fish and dog.
Cocoanuts grow everywhere and yield
fruit continuously and abundantly. Sago,
bananas and taro are plentiful, growing
wild in many places. Most of the root
foods have to be cultivated, but a few
days' labor in the planting season—about
July—4s all that is necessary. Therefore,
the native lias no occasion, to work regu
larly, and is not likely to be induced to
do so even for wages, unless they are
pretty high. Their labor is certain to be
spasmodic and intermittent, and not very
hard. Of course, the rising generation
might be trained up to systematic work.
—Some of the people who have a notion
of what they mean by the word “evolu
tion” may be surprised to see how closely
it agrees with Herbert Spencer’s definition,
which is as follows: "It is a disintegra
tion of matter and a concomitant dissipa
tion of motion, during which the matter
passes from an indefinite, incoherent hete
rogeneity to a definite, coherent homo
genlety and during which the retained
motion undergoes a parallel transforma
tion.”
