% Scheme for Avoldlim Che World'*
'!•*• Dangrroaa Cape.
From the Boston Herald,
Cape Hattera*. the most dangerous
l%ilnt on our Atlantic seaboard, will ceas**
to exist as a menace to coastwise navi
gation if the present plans of the United
States government are caril***! out. For
g*neratlons the name of Cape llafteraa
ha* been synonymous with storms, shlp
wicck and lofr of life All soria of
•• have been proposed to minimlie
its dangt'is
Millions of d)lmrs have be. n spent In
attempts to properly light the celebrated
P.uinond shoals, which aurround Cap**
Hattera I* was found Impossible, after
years of libor, to build a ilghthouse
there The heaviest an*l stanchest light
hd ever constructed was pla .1 .it Dia
mor.d shoals, only to he blown away from
her giant mush om anclfors.
Ami during all ibis w nlle steamers lost
• ir bearing-, vessels were driven ashore
arid midions of dollars' worth of property
and hundreds of lives continued to be
lost Kvery winter brought a long record
of dirast* rs on Cape HaUara*
The sailor coming from San Franrlsc<i
dreaded this one rpot more than anv
other in the long voyage round the Horn
Th** coastwise vessels tried to give it a
wide l*erth. But ji luia rep lined as a per
manent menace to navigation, and hs
done more to injure coastwise oornatrce
on ih** Atlantic than any other agency.
And now,by nuan* of an ingenious and
thoroughly practicable -v**m of inland
-finals and channels, the coastwise trade
will be enabled to pasa behind Uape llai
proteeffd from the fury of he
cr.-ean the whole way down the coast by
low-lying sand bars
The Dismal swamp canal a miserable
ditch of comparatively small lmi*ortance,
is to he deepened through Its whole
length. H*re. bordered by cypress, gum
ai.d magnol.a. large coastwise vessels can
sail or tow In safefv.
The extra insuran t now put on ship*
because of Uape HaMeras and its dangers
wJI, I* 1- claimed, more than pay for tne
cost of tow’age ,n this new inside route
The -aving in tim* w ill be gr* at. and the
eafeey to human Ilf** will he an item of
no small Importance
The magnificent of yachts kept in
northern waters can then pass up and
down the coast In comfort and safety.
Wh* n th** Inside route is finished, a great
advance In coastwise transportation is ex
pected to take place
In arising out the teims of a hill p*s
• I at the lust seaslon of Congress, th*
• ngineer r..ri>s of the army is now engag
cd in making n preliminary survey for an
Inside pnaoage from Uhos.ip* ake hay
to Beaufort inlet This will obviate the
necessity fur coasting vessels rounding
Cape Hattcras.
An Inside passage from Boston to Flor
ida is believed by official* to be one of
the poS'dldiitles of the future The pres
ent . lan Is look**! at as the first and
m<*M im{M>rtan? step |q this development
To a large extent the proposed water
way ih a natural one. .ml to flt it for
the passage of vessels of the larger class,
a* contemplated in the survey now being
made, it is simply a matter of dredging
channels through the varioim sounds ly
ing back of the narrow strip of land
w lilch forms Cape Hattera* and the dan
gerous coast on Its north and south
There are two corps of engineers work
ing on the survey, one under MaJ .1 B
Quinn, surveying south from Norfolk,
along the route of the Dismal Swamp ca
nal. which It is proposed to utilize, nnd
one under Uapt. E. W Van Lucas, work
ing north from Beaufort inlet. It l ex
pected that the repons of these officers
will be ready to present to Congress when
it n* xt meet-., wh*'n an appropriation for
beginning the work will be urged.

The l>nm‘tlcntl<n of a Snake.
From the Gentleman's Magazine.
To carry in one's hand a newly cat ight
snake is unpleasant, because in Its fright
it emits an effluvium which would dla
guat any but srient naturalist*, atwl
would, I venture to say, have left Toblt,
had he live*! among English meadows, at
no loss for a moans Just as efficient as
(hose h* used to oca re away the evil

Nor Is the progress of domestication
henceforth encouraging The animal an
swers all advance.-* with furious hisses and
menacing gesticulations, once a large
grass snake, when newly caught flew- at
my hand, from which it drew Just a speck
of blood. Even this would have been se
rious If done by some >f the tribe. But
in a few days your ward grow* tranquil,
gives o\ er hissing, lo*** other offensive,
ness, and may he heid in the hand while
It twines its body around the fingers and
darts Its tongue in and out We avow have
an opportunity of donor examination
Certainty its appearance, like trat of
many pci* imus flow* r-. !* anowy. Might
we not. therefor*, doubt the lnnoc*nc* of
the grant- snake? Il* body I* completely
clothed with scale-, gray tncllnod to taw
ny. which on the back are granular, but
broader lower down Here they are met
by polished semi-rings, sheathing over on.*
another, and usually mcttl***! black n*l
ml!k\ white, though they are sometime*
uniformly black. Of these there nr.<
• bout 170 Th* black I* not mark**d con
spicuously. and hare lies the difference, by
which this an.ike nnd the adder or viper
may easily he dlstlngui*hed; for along the
back of the viper runs a zigzag chain of
black loxengt? Above he black flank
sllf.-e of the gr.ts snake, though not quite
corresponding, arc two s<*ts of smaller
Mack dashes, which with the other*
make a somewhat ringllke appearance,
four slits making one ring. Hence doubt
less come* one of th* snake*# names. The
throat Is Ivorylike, the head brown, and
at Its back are four daubs, a yellow and
black daub on each side. The eyes have
hazel Iridcs, are lkless. and capable of
turning through a email angle only Th*
yellowish che*k* are .-tri|*e-l with black,
and thus the swarthy features are made
more expressive. The cloven tongue of Jet
Is protruded through an orifice In the Up*,
withdrawn into a fleshy sheath, and root
ed in the throat. Wh* n active th* snak**
darts out. wag*, ami withdraw* this cu
rious member every moment, thus un
doubted.y invoking suspicion, especially
when the tongue is kept steadily out ano

Possibly the moot remarkable nf all at
tempts at regicide was that mad** on the
life of Louis Philippe of France in 1525.
On July 2H of that year Joseph Marie
Fieschi, a Corsican adventurer, opposed
to the regim*- to which Louis belonged,
deckled to kill the King. Knowing the
uncertainty of aim at crucial mom*nt.
Fleschi dete*rmlned to construct a gun
that would shoot In all c>n • ivible di
rections <t r>n*’#. So he built a w-,#pon
of his own pattern to accomplish hi* de
signs. It consisted of tw*nty-ilve r.fle
barrels Inserted In a huge wooden slock
so a* to point outward, fanwlse In a*l
dttlon #**m of the barrels were depressed,
while others were raised. Having fin
ished this Infernal machine. Fleschi plac
ed it In the window' of a house in the
Boulevari du Temple, knowing that the
King would pa*" along that thoroughfare
on July 2* to hn
Each barrel wh* loaded with four ? all*
making h total of ICO rifle balls aimed at
the anointed head of the oltlsen King
When Louis pas*#*! Fie* hi applied a
match, and a leaden hall rained upon Ihc
King. When hi* entourage r*-covered
their respective sense# |t was discovers)
that for'y parsons bad be. r killed and
many mor** wounded. Louis had escaped
Injury, although one of the bullet* had
gr.ized his sleeve. iml>e<lding Itself in the
ne k of one of me homes of hi* carriage
Three other attempt* were made to kil;
Louis, by AUbaud In IM6. by Damiens in
1810 and by Lecombe and Henry In IM$
