Last week a Hancock man had a small branch of a chestnut tree on which, when taken from the tree were six chestnut burrs of normal size. One of them had been removed from which were taken, when opened, two well de- veloped chestnuts. These burrs were the first we have seen since a form of blight killed the trees, which were numerous in this sec- tion twelve or fifteen years ago. Sprouts have grown from the roots of the old trees to a height varying from ton to fifteen feet, and occa- sionally some larger. Foresters and scientists are skeptical of a "come back," and think that tho blight, the source of which they have been unable to fathom, is something of a permanent preva- Sand Frequently Trap for Traveling Snakes Snakes, when not In a hurry, can climb a leaning tree or the slippery slope of a wot rock. They are brisk travelers on the levels, and can turn on an extraordinary speed when In chase or flight they slither downhill. But nny wide stretch of loose sand or dust pulls them up. Between the scrubs of Poole's point and the mangroves of Tihbo beach, o'n the N. S. \V. south coast, lies an expanse of drifting powdery sand, writes a Sydney Bulletin con- tributor. Sometimes a snake trying to cross from one cover to the other gels stranded. As the crawler advances upon the ushllko surface he pushes forward a wnve of sand with every sinuous heave.

Siamese Fighting Fish Put Up Hot Contests Meet Mr. Wat Chant Alur Bop- Iter, two Inches of forked and flail- ing lightning, famed fighting min- now of Slam. This ferocious though diminutive flsh lay im- mersed In a bowl ln the New York aquarium, the object of admira- tion of a huge crowd, according to a report in Time, the Newsmoga- sine. In Slam, fish fighting occupies much the same place that cock fighting once did in the United States. In each of Bangkok's ten halls there are several tables about which are grouped seats for specta- tors. When the audience is ready, two bowls, each containing a con- testant, are placed on the table. A fight Is guaranteed If they charge at one nnotber and plump their noses on the Intervening glass. The bet- ting commissioner books bets, the limit being $44. The two fish are then dumped Into one big bowl to- gether. They charge furiously, first ripping off ench other's ruby red ventral fins. Next to go Is the red top fin, while frequently they bite off chunks of side meat, drnw- ing blood. With good fish n fight will last for six hours. Dnpedl- greed ones are exhausted ln 15 minutes. After a flsh has lost a battle he Is bred no more but spends his declining days training small fry. Trainer flsh constantly have their bodies mutilated as do United States fisticuff trainers. Their advantage over the United States equivalents: they can re- generate broken parts. Two of a Kind Thomas Hardy was once dining with Gen. Sir Redvers Buller of Boer war memory, when the sub- ject arose of social blunders. Bul- ler described what he called a "double-barreled" one of his own, snys Mi's. Florence Emily Hardy ln "The Later Years of Thomas Hardy." He Inquired of a lady next him at dinner who a certain gentlman was, "like n hippopota- mus," sitting opposite them. He was tho lady's husband. Buller was so depressed by the disaster that had befallen him that he could not get It off his mind. Hence at a dinner the next eve- ning he sought the condolences of nn elderly lady, to whom he re- lated his misfortune. And remem- bered when he had told the story that his listener was the gentle- man's mother I .

The freezing point of water Is decreased by the addition of substances In solution. Since sap contains various solutes its freezing point Is considerably below 32 degrees and accordingly it does not freeze In moderate freezing temperatures. Trees are further protected by the fact that the moisture content Is not so great near the surface ln the winter ns it Is In the summer. But the sap freezes during extremely cold spells and sometimes much damage is done to the trees. The United States forest service says that In the Canadian woods when the temperature is 40 to 50 degrees below zero the ruptures of tissues in trees caused by freezing can often be hoard as a sort of sharp report. As a rule freezing that produces sufficient pressure to rupture the tissues results ln verti- cal cracks running up and down the trunk. In succeeding seasons of growth the tree attempts to heal over these cracks but ridges of protrud- ing scar tissue remain as evidence of tho ruptures. The wood of trees is frequently frozen, but generally no serious rupture results because the moisture Is evenly distributed through the tissue. — Pathfinder Magazine. Hear It?

New Chestnut Growth Dying? Last week a Hancock man had

a small branch of a chestnut tree on which, when taken from the tree were six chestnut burrs of normal size. One of them had been removed from which were taken, when opened, two well de­veloped chestnuts. These burrs were the first we have seen since a form of blight killed the trees, which were numerous in this sec­tion twelve or fifteen years ago. Sprouts have grown from the roots of the old trees to a height varying from ton to fifteen feet, and occa­sionally some larger. Foresters and scientists are skeptical of a "come back," and think that tho blight, the source of which they have been unable to fathom, is something of a permanent preva-

Snakes, when not In a hurry, can climb a leaning tree or the slippery slope of a wot rock. They are brisk travelers on the levels, and can turn on an extraordinary speed when In chase or flight they slither downhill. But nny wide stretch of loose sand or dust pulls them up. Between the scrubs of Poole's point and the mangroves of Tihbo beach, o'n the N. S. \V. south coast, lies an expanse of drifting powdery sand, writes a Sydney Bulletin con­tributor. Sometimes a snake trying to cross from one cover to the other gels stranded. As the crawler advances upon the ushllko surface he pushes forward a wnve of sand with every sinuous heave. Sicken­ing of the heavy going, he turns bnck, scooping out of the yielding sand a bnsln, tho rim of which af­fords no scale hold. He squirms frenztodly to escape but only deep­ens the depression. In the end ho dies of exhaustion or Is scooped up by a swamp hawk or a kookaburra.

Iter, two Inches of forked and flail­ing lightning, famed fighting min­now of Slam. This ferocious though diminutive flsh lay im­mersed In a bowl ln the New York aquarium, the object of admira­tion of a huge crowd, according to a report in Time, the Newsmoga-sine.

In Slam, fish fighting occupies much the same place that cock fighting once did in the United States. In each of Bangkok's ten halls there are several tables about which are grouped seats for specta­tors. When the audience is ready, two bowls, each containing a con­testant, are placed on the table. A fight Is guaranteed If they charge at one nnotber and plump their noses on the Intervening glass. The bet­ting commissioner books bets, the limit being $44. The two fish are then dumped Into one big bowl to­gether. They charge furiously, first ripping off ench other's ruby red ventral fins. Next to go Is the red top fin, while frequently they bite off chunks of side meat, drnw-ing blood. With good fish n fight will last for six hours. Dnpedl-greed ones are exhausted ln 15 minutes. After a flsh has lost a battle he Is bred no more but spends his declining days training small fry. Trainer flsh constantly have their bodies mutilated as do United States fisticuff trainers. Their advantage over the United States equivalents: they can re­generate broken parts.

Two of a Kind Thomas Hardy was once dining

Florence Emily Hardy ln "The Later Years of Thomas Hardy." He Inquired of a lady next him at dinner who a certain gentlman was, "like n hippopota­mus," sitting opposite them. He was tho lady's husband.

Buller was so depressed by the disaster that had befallen him that he could not get It off his mind. Hence at a dinner the next eve­ning he sought the condolences of nn elderly lady, to whom he re­lated his misfortune. And remem­bered when he had told the story that his listener was the gentle­man's mother I

. Pretty Rooft in Norway Perhaps the roof over one's head

has something to do with the hap­piness nnd love ln the home be­neath it. The American shingles were appropriate for the pioneer, the English slates practical, the tiles of Latin countries cool and picturesque, but even better Is the old straw thatch laid on some­times to a depth of two feet. How-over, homes in country places of Norway have the loveliest roofs of all. Sod Is used for n thatch there, and after a season or two tho en­tire housetop is a meadow of grass and wild flowers, on which young goats may often be seen feeding, and where butterflies and honey­bees always hover.

Sap in trees frequently freezes during the winter. The freezing point of water Is decreased by the addition of substances In solution. Since sap contains various solutes its freezing point Is considerably below 32 degrees and accordingly it does not freeze In moderate freezing temperatures. Trees are further protected by the fact that the moisture content Is not so great near the surface ln the winter ns it Is In the summer. But the sap freezes during extremely cold spells and sometimes much damage is done to the trees.

The United States forest service says that In the Canadian woods when the temperature is 40 to 50 degrees below zero the ruptures of tissues in trees caused by freezing can often be hoard as a sort of sharp report. As a rule freezing that produces sufficient pressure to rupture the tissues results ln verti­cal cracks running up and down the trunk.

In succeeding seasons of growth the tree attempts to heal over these cracks but ridges of protrud­ing scar tissue remain as evidence of tho ruptures. The wood of trees is frequently frozen, but generally no serious rupture results because the moisture Is evenly distributed through the tissue. — Pathfinder Magazine.
