Tears ago the rats so bothered the
planters In the lesser Antilles that they
Imported snakes to get rid of the pe'
Instead of borrowing a respectable uid
harmless snake, like the small boa of
Porto Rico, or possibly our own black
snake and garter, If they would live In
the tropics, the fatuous farmers carried
the fer de lance to the Islands. The for
de lance ate the rats, but Incidentally it
tnultfplled beyond all reason and became
a terror to the Inhabitants. For It is the
meanest and most poisonous of serpents,
as desdly as a rattlesnake, far quicker
and more silent; it gives no warning, and
it colls about the branches of trees, strik
ing invaders of the forest from that van
tage. After the Inhabitants had begun to die
of snake stings, the people who had do
mesticated the fer de lance cast about for
means to be rid of It, and they hit upon
the mongoose. This little animal, which
resembles a woodchuck, started In busily
and exterminated the fer de lance, In some
places, as the fer de lance has extermin
ated the rats. But when the snakes were
gone the mongoose Insisted on being fei.
Hence be raided the hen roosts. Thereuiori
the same need for getting rid of the mon
goose began to be manifest that was
shown In the case of the rat and the
snake. So there Is a price upon the head
of this helpful little creature, even in
lslanda where deadly serpents still linger.
4Ciiba has tried the mon&ooBe, and with
the usual results. He whs brought in,
not to consume the snakes, whi -h are
not so many t.or so fierce as in Martinique,
but the rata, at first hand. He has done
this and is doing It, but as he eats so
many more hens than lesser animals the
government Is offering a quarter of a
dollar a head for the mongoose, and
thrifty peasant are considering the ad
visability of raising him. In cages, for
the appropriation.
All of which seems to Justify the asser
tion that It Is better to endure the evils
that we are used to than to fly to others
that we know not of. We used to be
postered with canker worms, that drip pel
upon our hats from the shade trees in
spring. We Imported house sparrows from
England to eat the worms. They ats
them, and now we are looking around
for something that will eat the sparrows
the noisest, dirtiest, most rambunctious
creatures that wear feathers. We might
enlarge upon this theme and hint that
In the world of art and society and poli
tics we frequently make reforms so much
worse than the evils to be reformed that
the public insist on going back to Its old
ways, and does It with cheery vivacity -Brooklyn

Netgvla Doidrt Adl. XLi.t Victims o Its
Long Dei 'u Roll
LURED TO THEIR OjuM IN ALKALI BEDS
Fire Huadred 4 lcilus Brored la
the Last Tea ears Stories ol
a Hegiloa W here Thirst
KlUs.
A dispatch from Las Vegas, Nev.. lsat
week told how thirty men perished amid
the cactus thorns and alkali beds that sur
round Dead Man's Hole. They were found
by surveyors of the railroad company which
is penetrating the Nevada desert In the
construction of a direct route between Los
Angeles, Cel., and Salt Luke City, Utah.
The victims were supposed to have been
tramps who had ventured across the desert
from one mining camp to another and who
had either perished from lack of water or
were overwhelmed by a sandstorm. Th
bodies were found In groups of four or six
lying near one another. They had been
torn by th coyote and buzzards, which
are among the few forms of life able to In
habit such a wilderness.
In the winter time the deserts of the far
west are more likely to lure the Isnorant
easterner to hi death than In th burning
summer months. Travelers tell how th
cold night of the desert quickens the nerves
as though It were pure ozone. It beguiles
one Into thinking he can cover the most
formidable distances with the greatest ease.
The stars In such an atmosphere seem to
crowd nearer the earth. They shine with a
new brilliancy. Distant mountains when
Illuminated by the moon deceive the eye
Into believing they can echo a whisper. In
such an sir the stranger plans too Ions;
Journey for the provisions and the water
he takes, nnd when the sun comes tip, and
the heat Increases, and his thirst grows
fiercer, and the water dwindles In the bot
tle, and the oasts ahead proves only a
mirage, then his strength leaves him as
quickly and mysteriously as It camt.
Fearful Heat in gammer.
Under the summer sun, however, the
cruelty of the desert becomes most fearful.
In the narrow southern end of Nevada,
where the thirty bodies were found re
cently, the temperature has been known
to reach 150 degree In the sun. Travelers
ay that nowhere In the Sahara, desert of
Africa or the Arabian or Indian deserts of
Asia do. the rays of the sun beat with a
more deadly fervor than on the sands of
Nevada desert. On a day In June last
year the heat of the direct rays of the
un near Dead Man's Well reached 130 de
gree at I a. m.. 146 at 10 a. m. and 160 at
1 p. m. By 6 In the afternoon the mer
cury had fallen to 130 and by midnight It
had shrunk to 70. According to figure
prepared by Prof. Mark W. Harrington,

Unless the body of an animal throw
eft a grea't amount of moisture In such a
heat the blood soon rises to a fever tem
perature. In the case of man the mind
becomes madly delirious and death soon
follows. Even on the warmest days of
winter on the Nevada desert or In Death
Valley a man will die who I without
water from sunrlss to sunset. Evaporation
from hi pore in summer weather I so
great that even If he lies still he must
drink eight quart In a day and night to
quench th Incessant parching of his throat
Should he exert himself he finds It neces
sary to drink ten or even twelve quarts.
Horse that ar driven only at night time
get twenty gallons of water In twenty-four
hours. On the Atlantic coast uch a man
at work would drink one-fourth a much
and a horse one-third. So dry Is the air
and so eagerly does It absorb moisture on
the Nevada desert that a tin pan filled with
an Inch and a quarter of water at night I
found perfectly dry the next afternoon.
Meager Rainfall.
A country where less than ten Inches of
rala fall In a year Is regarded as a desert.
Because of the barriers of the Rocky moun
tain on the east and the Sierra Nevada on
the west almost all of Nevada, western
Utah, western Arizona and southern Cali
fornia obtain considerably less than this
quota of water, and In certain region near
the canyon of the Colorado river less than
two Inchea fall. Other regions of the world
which nature has slighted to an equal de
gree yr. to be found In northern Africa,
Wa, florth western India, Tibet, western
China a.id :etml Australia, Here only
those forms of life which can economize
moisture best escape death. Here grow
the leafless cactus and certain stunted
plants whose sap Is a gum. Here dwell
the coyote of the new and the Jackal of
the old world cadaverous creatures which
can travel great distances with marvelous
rapidity, and thus roam from one oasis to
another, preying upon the weaker and more
tender forms of llfo that perish on the
waste of sand between.
Most fearful of all the perils of the desert
is the sandstorm. When It descends upon
the traveler hln journey for the time, at
laaat, I at an end. In the sweep of the
wind the minute particles of sand penetrate
the smallest crevices, nd often they fill
the air so densely as ti suffocate a vlotlm.
Tho llrst appearance of the storm In th
sky Is a yellow haze on the horizon. With
great rapidity the haze grows 'into a fog
and the fog thickens Into what seem a
flying mountain. Noon turns to midnight,
and th sand beat down upon the plain
with the roar of continuous thunder. Cap
tain D. D. Gaillurd, commanding a corps of
engineers of the United States army, was
overtaken in such an American sirocco near
the Colorado river, and in describing his
experience In the Cosmopolitan Magazine
he writes: '
Terror of the Saad Storm.
"In less than a quarter of an hour it grew
black aa midnight; respiration became dim
cult and suffocation was threatened from
the grtat quantity of sand and dust un
avoidably Inhaled with every breath. It
was only by holding a handkerchief In front
of the mouth and breathing through It
that this clanger was averted. In about
half an hour after the storm commenced
the wind began gradually to sulfide snd
the darkness to diminish, and In a little
over two hours from ths time the storm
broke the faint lays of th setting sun
nets struggling through the cloud of dust
which still filled the air."
Captain Qalllard also tell of sandstorms
which last from sunrise to sunset, and say
they are especially frequent In the western
half of the Nevada desert. Including the
southern part of the state of Nevada, wast
ern Arizona and Bouthern California. At
the eastern end of Ban Gorgoulo Pssa ths
telegraph poles are sometimes cut down
by the constant pelting of sand, snd the
western window of bouse ar mad
opaque like ground glass. To one Journey
ing through the Nevada desert msny are
the reminders of the terrible fate of other
who have gone before. Either their bone
11 bleached upon the sands or kind hands
liava covered them with alkali soli and
marked the snot with a cross of stones.
Before the days of transcontinental rail
roads many seekers after gold died on th
treeless wast between the Rokle and the
Bierras. Hundreds perished in Death val-
ley u in aouuieaaiern part or California
when they thought he had almost reached
the Eldorado of their destination. In Sin
Jose, Cel., there lived until recently se v
eral members of a psrty which wns alleged
to have killed and esten one of their com.
panlons In Death ralley.
Tho rtevll'a Road.
In the Nevada desert Is one trail
known as the "El Camlno del Dl blo." or
"The Devil's Road." Along this route
the oae are neerly fifty miles apart. At
one oast, called La Trujas Alias, there
ar two rock basins, one at the foot 'and
th other half way up the mountain. Fifty
graves near by tell of victims who have
perished almost In sight of the water. In
times of special drouth the Inwer bowl
is drained dry, and many traveller hnv
died In vainly trying to reach the upper
basin. According to Captain Gnlllard 40
have died along this trail In the last eight
years. Not far distant one may find a
rude cross upon the ground made of
whitened stones where lie the bones of a
family of elsht. The slnss demllrthn which
contained their last draught of water fell
and broke a few miles from the basins.
The husband crawled on a little further
In search of water, but died before he
reached the pools. Travelers found the
bones of his family and th broken demi
john years afterward.
The agonle of thirst can only be de
scribed by one who ha experienced them
or witnessed th sufferings of companions.
W. J. Magee one made a Journey across
the plateau of Utah, and after suffering
excruciating tortures from lack of water
he found a pool in which, he said. "I
oaked an hour before a drop of water
could be swallowed. Then, despite a half
Inch cream of fle and wasps, I tasted
ambrosia."
Proa-res of m Thirst.
Mr. Magee says there are nv stages In
dying from thirst, and in an article In
the Atluntic Monthly he wrote:
"At first the mouth feels hot and dry
and a tension in the throat leads to an In
Voluntary swallowing motion; the voice
is commonly husky, and there is a diffused
sense of uneasiness, or even of Irritation,
leading to querulous chatter and petulunt
activity. I
"In the second stage of dryness, which
might b called the first stage of thirst,
the fever rises; th scant saliva and
mucous spume form sluggishly on lip and .

NEW KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Brief Statement f the Principles anil
Pnrpo.es of n Oraaal.
sntloa.
The Knights of Columbus are growing
rapidly In numbers In Omaha and the west.
In Nebraska, councils are In a fiofii Ishlng
condition In Omaha snd Lincoln. Three
mors councils will be Instituted In as msny
localities In the state during the spring or
early summer months. A statement of
the principles and purposes of the rrgan
Izntlon, recently made In a sermon by Rev.
Father Ptrltch of Crelghton university will
be of general Interest. Father Strltch ald
In part:
Four of the notable lines In whlch-the
.Influence of the association Is especially
felt we may mention here:
First, their religious Influence Is the most
prominent of all. It Is becoming more
and more the fashion for men of wealth,
ability and social position to etsnd aloof
from, and either cpenly or secretly be
little the practice of religion.- Too many
of our conspicuous Catholics, who ought
to be an example to their less favored
brethren., do not escape from the effect
of this growing wnrldllness or Indifference.
Their lesd Is naturally followed by many
other who look up to them, and the evil
wa assuming larger and larger propor
tions before the Order of the Knights
of Columbus was Instituted. There are now
about 100 pno members In the United State
and they are multiplying rapidly.
It Js safe to say that no Insignificant
minority of this magnificent army either
were not or would not now be living up to
the requirements of their religion were it
not for their membership In this order The
scandal that would constantly arise from
their neglect hss been brought to an end
and every knight becomes a center of
llRht and strength to others by the ex
ample he sets. Not individuals merely, but
families and friends and neighbor are
saved to the church. We have heard It
repeatedly and know It from our own ob
servation, that many to whom the strong
est missionary appeals were addressed In
vain have been brought back to the prac
tice of their religion by the Influence of
this association or by membership in Its
ranks. Their very attendance In a body
at sacred services, not obligatory, as here
tonight, Is an evidence of their practical
and Inspiring devotion to the church and
her teachings: and Is a splendid rebuke to
the less Intelligent, who presume to think
that the church has nothing to offer them.
What have we to say with regard to
social purity? Ar not the knight ex
clusive, admitting only men prominent In
professional, commercial or social circles?
Are they not rather creating a sort of
caste, cutting themselves oft from th
great majority of their fellow Catholics?
Are they r.ot a secret society who may
sooner or later develop , unsocial, unpa
triotic, or even Irreligious features? Such
questions have occurred to the mind of
Borne snd have been asked.
One of the great evils among well-to-do
Catholic In this country has been that
they are often drawn Into exclusively, or
nt least predominantly non-Cathollo so
ciety, so that a decidedly uncathollc so
cial tone begin to prevail among those
who should be foremost In all ueh un
dertakings a tend to promote the welfare
of the church. They soon cease o read
Cathollo paper or book. They are un
willing to have their children attend
Catholic school or colleges, and they
neglect altogether, or perform only per
functorily and spasmodically, the most se
rious and obligatory duties of their relig
ion. The Knight of Columbus, by bring
ing prominent Catholic together, so they
may enjoy the friendship and society of
person on their own Intellectual level and
of their own creed, save such people from
drifting away, or save their faith from
palling, till It la scarcely to be dis
tinguished from that of those who are
not members of any church or ar o
only In name. We have often heard th
complaint from wealthy and educated
Catholics that they have no Cathollo so
ciety. The Knight of Columbus ar sup
plying that want In th best way. By
organizing they are not cutting themselves
off from their brethren, but they ar sav
ing those who would gradually drift away
from the church. They are creating a
numerous and Intelligent social circle
within th church, whose Influence will
work favorably for ttie social betterment
of the whole Cathollo body. Instead,
therefore, of criticism or Jealousy w ought
to take pride In and be loyal to the knight
and their object, even In a social way.
They are not exclusive. In any narrow or
reprehensible sense. There Is no money
line, but only a merit line of exclusion.
Any man with th requisite mental and
moral and religious qualifications Is not
questioned to th length of hi purse
when he applies for admission. Instead,
then, of asking th knight to remain on
our social level, let us endeavor to rise
to theirs, and they will be more than
willing to reach down and give us a help
ing hand In the effort.
A to politic, they ar rigidly excluded,
and they will be affected only indirectly by
a higher standard of civic virtue and moral
Integrity in public life and a more disin
terested devotion to the common good.
These are fundamental principles with the
knights and we need have no misgivings
as to the likelihood of unpatriotic develop
ments. The country has reason, rather, to
be proud and grateful at seeing 100,000 of
Its sturdy and thoughtful citizens banded
together, with no other political aim or
ambition than that noble one of crushing
out abuses and permeating public life with
the saving principles of sound morality.
If the questions of secrecy and possible
evolution of any scheme unfavorable to
religion were seriously asked, we should
seriously answer It.
Another fundamental and primary prin
ciple of the order Is practical loyalty to the
CONI
rhuich. Tiny h.ive noi unly the approval
but the 1'irsslntc and encouragement of t
cUe.astii'Hl nuiliiu Ities. 1 hey number It
thlr membership tuuny eminent priesti
and bishop. They hare undoubted!
their' secrets. Rut so hat every iiv
dividuil snd every lumliy and even
' combination of persons i.jn fed for anj
practical purpose ha; soever. The Kntahn
I haxe no secrets which thy are unwllllus
' to reveal to the proper suthorlty whenev
J called upon to do so.
Tht Knights taJce an uncompromising
stand against the liquor traffic. They real
j le and feel keenly the discredit done to
the church by tho large number of Cath
I olics unfortunately engaged iu this decrad
i Ing business. We do not mean to asort
that every man so engaKCd Is of necessity
i dishonorable .r immoral or even unfaith
ful to his religious duties. And et one
of the greatest services that could be ren
dered to Yhe church In this country and to
Catholic manhood would be the withdrawal
of Catholics from so unsavory an occupa
tion. We know Catholics who keep saloon
and who ar clear-sighted and candid
enough to see this for themselves and to
acknowledge Its truth. Catholics would
consume much less liquor If tha saloon
were not In the hands of their co-rellglon-1st.
To diminish the number of our peo
ple who trend their live In supplying or
consuming intoxicating beverage I a
great work, of which there Is a crying
need. The Knight of Columbus favor this
work and will use their Influence to for
ward It. No saloon keeper ran be a
Knight and no Intoxicating drinks ar used
at any of their meetings. We do not dic
tate a member's action in hi tome or
elsewhere. But Instances are known where
members who have given scandal by drink
ing to excess have been expelled from tho
order, and this mode of proceeding Is be
coming a settled policy. They also favor"
such legislation, and the execution of such
laws already passed as are necoesary to
suppress the gross and Intolerable abuse
that are carried on in connection with no
mall number of salcons. In this surely
the Knights must meet with publlo ap
proval and secure the alliance of tho bet
ter classes outside the rhuroh.
The spread of sound and saving Cathollo
thought and Cathollo literature Is also a
cherished object with the different council
throughout the country. They have been
exerting themselves to build and support
Catholic schools and in some Instance
churches where not otherwise provided.
They secure Cathollo lecture courses and!
get Catholic books Into our publlo libraries.
They believe, or rather know, that It In
certain quarters prejudices etill exist
against the church It la because It spirit
and work are not known. They know
that they cannot render a greater service
to church and state, to the Catholic and
non-Catholic element of iur population,
than by spreading a knowledge, of Cathollo
truth. They rightly love their country and
their fellow citizen of every creed, or of
none, too well to be Indifferent to any
thing that can be righteously used to pro
mote the welfare of all a result which
would be sure to poms from a better un
derstanding of one another, a more gen
ulno mutual respect, a cJoser friendship and
co-operation In the p rsult of noble project
for the good of our race.
Such, In brief, we concelTe the principle
and purpose of th Knight to be. Church
and country must approve and bless a
movement such aa their. And the Catho
llo people should foel proud of the new
chivalry and. like their forefathers, labor
to prepare themselves to receive worthily
the high prerogative of knighthood.
HAS HONEY IN HIS PANTRY
Colorado Beekeeper Bo Arrange
Thin that Cwe4 Are Kear
at Hand.
When Mr. and Mrs. 11. F. Hagen of 601
Klgh street, Denver, wish to have fresh
honey on their table they simply turn on
pie eleotrlo light In their pantry, mount a
tepladder and from :natde a small cup
board cut away great chunk of fresh
comb filled with veritable nectar, so fresh
and fine flavored la It- Very often th
honey they out away ha been mad that
day by tho thousand of bees swarming
constantly In th little cupboard.
Mr. Hagen I on erf th pioneer be
keeper of th state. He began the be In
duatry In the Arkansas valley In th early
'80s. He had last year, at the corner of
Fourth rnd High streets, 100 colonies and
marketed nearly 4,000 pound of honey. In
the meantime he built several pretty resi
dences In th vicinity, among them hi
own horn. H conceived the Idea of hav
ing fresh honey constantly within reach.
8o at th end of the pantry, on a level
with th top shelves, he made a cupboard,,
with a door large enough for him to reach
In hi head and shoulders.
Therein he placed the foundation of two
hives, with some brooding wax. He did
not use any wax for the honey cells, pre
ferring to have the bees build their honey
combs a they should wish. Two colonies
of bees were Installed In the Ccpboard and
two r.arrow apertures were bored In ths
wall to permit th bee to go in and out
at will.
In ths cupboard at this time there Is at
least 150 pounds of the delirious product.
An artistic arrangement of the enmhs has
resulted from the Indulgence of their taste
In architecture. Usually bees bipln at th
top and build down, but there bees hive
worked up, and In two corners of the cup
board rle snowy piles of wax..
The house with the beehive cupboard has
attracted much attention from perron In
terested In bee. During a horticultural
convention recently tho visitors to th
Hagen home were many, and scarcely a
day passes that someone doe not call and
ask permission to climb up tho little ladder
and Inspect the bees and their work.
