A two -headed copperhead snake, with
the tongue in each head darting in and
out viciously, and with four beady eyes
snapping balefully, was the uncanny
sight which confronted Oliver K. Demp-
sey recently, while walking in a wood
at Logansport, Ind. He killed the
reptile and took it home so that he
might convince those sceptical about
his story. The snake has two perfectly
formed heads, with well developed
forked tongues, but oniy one body.
Becoming impressed with the vision
of the body of his chum lying in a creek
which he saw in a dream, Joseph Mack
of Chatfield, Wis., persuaded some
companions to accompany him to the
spot, and there they •discovered the
body of Hall Thompson, for whom par-
ties had been searching for a week.
Thompson, aged twenty-one, was
drowned as a result of his horse and
carriage being swept away during a
recent storm, which raised Root River
fifteen feet.
The telephone system in Saskatoon
is being taken over by the Saskatche-
wan Government,, Hon. J. A. Calder,
Minister in charge of that department
having informed Manager Hair of the
North Western Telephone Company,
that unless the Government offer for
the purchase of the private plant were
accepted the Government would install
a system of its own. The price of the
private plant which the Government
will pay is said to be $73,000, and it is
believed that the system will be immed-
iately changed over to the automatic
when the Government assume control.
The United States army department
has ordered that every officer and man
in the regular army of the United
States whose is under 45 years of age,
and who has not been rendered im-
mune, shall be inoculated with anti-
typhoid serum as a protection against
typhoid. This measure of protection
has proved its value in the Philip-
pines, and experience gained there
seems to have justified the radical ac-
tion now decided upon.
