es—rInteresting Features. ' ‘
Those who have been fortunate enough
to glide from Italy’s picturesque shores
into the warm blue waters of the Medi-
terranean and float luxuriously in the
salty sea among a. perfect school of hap-
py bathers will never forget it. N ever!
Venice, Naples, Capri, Amalfii .It makes
~one’s eyes glistenat the very thought of
it. To Italy’s splendid title, “The Land
of Poetry and Song,” might also be add~
ed “The Land of Baths” were it not that
the second name to some fastidious
minds would detract from the beauty of
the first.
The ancient Romans, borrowing as
they did all the worthily imitable cus-
toms from their Greek and Egyptian
neighbors, found the baths especially
suited to their luxurious tastes and car-
ried them to a degree of excellence which
had never been attained, making theni
not only of immense benefit in a sani-
tary way, but establishing them as a
favorite rendezvous for people of culture
and talent as well as for the poorer class-
es, who also enjoyed the privilege of
their own compartments. Look at the
baths of Diocletian, which are estimated
to have accommodated no less than 18,-
000 people at one time. And those of
Caracallar at Rome. What woriderfnl
ruins of a still more wonderful struc-
turel In these walls bathing became a
science. Cold baths, tepid baths, hot
baths, oil baths, sun baths—every kind
of bath! Why simply to visit the place
was a rest and recreation. Statuary and
paintings lent beauty on all sides. Music
charmed. Orators and poets entertained.
’ What beauty in the remaining walls of
the Pompeiian baths! The frescoes are
as bright and beautiful as if they were
done but yesterday, .and the marble
carvings and pavements which escaped
the fury of the burning mountain have
softened in color almost to an ivory.
Then the baths of N ero. Around the
coast on the charming picturesque road
leading from Pozzuoli to Bate one
alights from the little carozzella and
clambers up to a cave cut in the side of
the mountain. wherein is a Spring heated
to a high temperature in its subterra-
nean channels by veins of volcanic life
which abound near Vesuvius. This spot
suited well the comfort loving Nero,
who made of it a. favorite resort and
caused the rough stone couches to be
placed there, which still remain.
‘ One reads little of sea. bathing in those
days. Every Roman colony thought to
construct its baths as it thought of rais-
ing its temples. But now all Italy turns
its face to .its natural advantages, and
withone accord cries as early as May,
“Let-”us to the sea!" Not-all the estab-
lishments are as Convenient" and as with

those of Posilipo at Naples, but they‘are

vided with a pavilion where people con-
gregate to discuss the latesttOpi‘cs, or to
devour with eager ears the latest gossip,
while there is always music, from morn-
ing till night, if only one of those harass-
ing "mganettes" or portable pianos;
which grind incessantly and seem al-
ways to be playing ”Santa Lucia” or
”Bella N apoli" and vary sometimes with
the "Trovatore." ‘
On either side of the pavilion are the
“Camerini.” or dressing rooms—one side
reserved for ladies. the other for gentle-
men. These “camerini” are the rough-
est kind of little wooden boxes, carpeted
with a mat of braided straw and fur-
nished with four rude chairs for the
four persons each is supposed to accom-
modate. Then there are the steps lead-
ing to the water. The fee for the use of
each room is one franc fifty (or 30 cents),
including the linen sheets, the price
never varying whether there be one or
four persons together.
Once in the water and presto! changel
all the reserved etiquette of the Italian
drawing room vanishes. Then and then
only does liberty exist, and the pretty
little signorinas, as well as the handsome
signoras, in the very simplest kind of
bathing costume, generally dark blue
with a little white braid, transformed
into veritable water nymphs, swim oi! .
with all the grace and alacrity of a fish,
never fearing. never tiring, just as’ if
they had been born to it. , And there is
no end to romance. Fancy a boat full
of handsome young oificers towinga trail
of pretty, bright eyed girls to some quiet,
picturesque spot, where all indulge in a
jolly little luncheon. It doesn’t seem so
very much. does it? And yet one recalls -
that these same young omcers may never
have dared address the young ladies on
land, or if they have had the good for- '
.tune to do so it was only under the
watchful eye of the omnipresent chaper-
on, then we realize what it really means.
Then there are the quieter places, like
the placid blue Waters of Sorrento, away
dovfrn‘ under the high walls of rock,
. where one may float and gaze up at the
beautiful villas and fragrant orange
gardens. . And Capri, Where the wander-
ful blue grotto is, free to' all who can
swim there, while the hurried traveler

HOW SCIENCE HAS RUTHLEsva'
PLAYED HOB‘WITH THEM.
Even the Horsebair Snake Is Declared by
. ~the Naturalist to Be a Humbug—Still
, Clinging to That .Belief and WI’resenting
' Pretty Good Argument. I
_ Science plays hob with the fond tradig
tions 'of rural Schoolboy days. How
many ugly but useful toads have been
left in' undisturbed possession of a gar-
den bed because to handle them was
but to cover your hands with warts and
to kill them would force your cows to
let down bloody milk? What boy would
have crushed a. cricket, assured as he '
was that its mate would come at night
and avenge its death by eating up that 5
rash boy’s clothes? What man lives to-'
day who, as - a._rustic lad. has not'held
the stilted daddy-long-legs prisoner by,
one hairlike shank and informed “the
globular insect that unless it forthwith
pointed out the way in which the
lost cows had gene instant death
awaited it, and when did daddy-long?
legs fail to raise one slender leg and in-
dicate, according to boyish belief, the
direction .the straying kine had gone?
And the devil’s darning needle, that big
eyed thing that lived and prowled for
nothing else than to sew your ears up,
and the magic eel skin tied round your
leg, or neck, or arm, to keep the cramps
away when you went in swimming, and
the snake that swallowed its young, and
g atest of all, that vivified hair from a
l‘.- re’s tail, wriggling and gyrating» in
th. roadside mud puddle, the horsehair
snake. ’
But science has stepped in and solemn-
ly and seriously said that these are all
myths. It is a shattering of idols, but I
fear that to science must be granted all
it denies about them, except as to snakes
swallowing their young. I have been an
open mouthed and wide eyed witness of
that interesting trick too often to let
even profound scientists stand up and
declare, that it isn’t so.
I hold out a little, too, for the horse-
hair snake, for I have in my mind a cer-
tain vagrant horsehair that I once put in
an oyster keg filled with rainwater, and
either that horsehair in the course of a
few weeks took on the semblance of life
and form of a horsehair snake and kept
it up all season in abottle to which I
transferred it, or else it disappeared, and
the germ of what we supposed was a
horsehair snake happened to be in the
water and developed there. I have al-
ways insisted that I made a horsehair
snake. I have heard many voracious
persons declare that they have done the
same thing.
“But you are all wrong,” says Nich-
olas Pike, the naturalist. “The horsehair
snake, or hairworm, is the Gordius
equations, and: it is common in most
fresh water ponds and rivulets. Though
no larger around than a coarse cotton
thread, they have two mouths, one on
each side'of the head. They lay scores
and'sometimes thousands of eggs. The
eggs are deposited in strings, like a
chain, on the sides of shallow ponds or.
creeks, and they: are greedily swallowed
by various aquatic insects. Then from
the time the egg ‘is hatched the first part
of the worm’s‘ nutriment is spent as a
parasite, absorbing nutriment from the
body of its unlucky host. ' The large
water beetles ”are subject to these para-
sites. They have been found in a crick-
et. They are graceful swimmers, but
when taken from the water they twist
themselves into such an intricate knot
that it is almost impossible to unloose
it. They are called Gordius from this
the Gordian knot. _ -
“I have no doubt that one reason why
the idea of the horsehair snake has been
propagated is from ignorant persons
who have had various insects in clear
water watching them for study or curi-
osity. Knowing that they put in only
certain live creatures; and some day
finding these live worms, they were as-
tonished. ' The chances are that the
worms were developed from a pet beetle
that in its native pond made a feast on
some ova of the Gordius, to be paid
dearly for later when these hatched.”
But there was no pet beetle or any
other insect in my keg of rainwattu
The horsehair went away, and the snake
or worm appeared. I don’t behave the
horsehair ever swallowed any Gordius
ova» I can’t imagineanr reason why-a
horsehair should. turn into, a snake or
worm: when kept in the water, but why
not a horse’s hair as wellras a cow’s hair,
or a deer’s hair? Science-had better not .
tell any of the few old settlers of north—
ern; Pennsylvania or any other locality
where the pioneers were frequentlytheir
own tanners that cow’s hair anddc
