The average among civil lied peoples Is now about forty years. The startling prophecy that man would some time only begin to understand lite at one hundred years does not seem so unreasonable, perhaps, when one considers the span of life alloted to vegetables, and to other animals. There exists, at the present time, In the island of Ceylon a tree which was planted two hundred eighty-eight years before Christ. In the suburbs of Athens travelers are shown the olive tree of Plato, which Is two thousand years old. The plantain tree of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, Is two thousand three hundred years old, while the giant redwood trees of California are estimated to have lived at least twenty centuries. Tourists in Hllcdesheim. Germany, are never allowed to pass the famous so-called "thousand-year rose bush" In the grounds of the cathedral. The list of legendary trees might be Indefinitely extended and world trees Include the chestnuts of Etna, the walnut trees of St Nicholas in Lorena, the olives of Jerusalem, the yew tr^es of Yorkshire, England, which are one thousand, two thousand and two thousand five hundred years old, respectively, and the cypresses of Mexico, which are considered the oldest trees in the world. These figures are furnished by Doctor Legrand, a wellknown French naturalist. He also points out singular differences In the longevity of animals of varying species. The crocodile and the carp live, he says, three hundred years; the elephant and the whale, two hundred; the falcon, one hundred fifty; the parrot and the eagle, one hundred; the lion and the rhinoceros, sixty; the goose, common pike and the pelican, fifty; the hart and vul ture, forty; the ass, bull and camel, thirty; the horse, twen ty-flve; the peacock, from twen ty-three to twenty-five; the pig, bear, cow, pigeon, cat, dog. deer, wolf and the fresh-water lobster, twenty; the duck, nightingale, lark, fox and pheasant, fifteen; the canary and the cricket average ten; the rabbit lives eight; til* squirrel and hare, seven. c \ A I How Snake Charmer Keeps Himself Immune How does the snakecharmer charm? asks a writer In the Popular Science Monthly. That's one of the questions we've always asked ourselves. And now an English doctor tells us one of the secrets. Take the case of the cobra, for Instance. It if * very venomous snake, yet the snakecharmer Is not harmed When bitten by one. The secret lies in the fact that the charmer "milks" the cobra before be allows himself to be bitten. He makes the cobra b.t«» into a piece of meat, thereby expelling two-thirds of the poison In Its poison gland. When the charmer allows the snake to bite him Immediately thereafter, there is not enough poison left in the gland to do any harm. What is the next step? The charmer makes the snake bite a fowl while he squeeses the remaining drops of poison out of the snake's gland; the fowl dies, and the charmer wins the of his audience.

It bf How Snakes Lay Efgs Egg-laying snakes, unlike birds, do not lay an egg each day until the laying Is completed. As a rule, all the eggs laid by an oviparous snake in any given season are laid within a very short period. * The United States biological survey says a python measuring about 28 feet In length laid about 100 eggs In one day. In the case of a little ringnecked snake It was observed that In every Instance except two all the eggs were deposited within one day. This spades of snake lays only &p» three to alght eggs. of Mr. aad llrs. Mrs -aad Mrs. A. L. Sengstock of DesPlaines visited in the hom« Of the latter's mother, Mrs. M. Bohr, Sun day.

McHenry already had one victory over the Dundee boys, winning the first meeting between them this season by f our points. The Dundee team has improved since their first defeat and although the game turned out to be an interesting battle, the visitors were not strong enough to defeat the local team. It proved to be a close one all the way with first one team and then the other in the lead. The inability of the Dundee tossers to make baskets proved costly for them. Freund was the big bet for McHenry, the former high school star getting away with eight field goals during the game and It was his good basket shooting that brought victory to the team. McHenry had a 19 to 18 lead at half time. Following is the official box score of the game: M'HENRY (35) B F P Overton, f 2 Kinsala, f 8 Bacon, f 0 Freund, c 8 Whiting, g ....
