Ocean Snakes of our New Possessions WHERE SHIPS STEAM THROUGH MILES OF WATER COVERED WITH BEAUTIFUL BUT FEROCIOUS AND DEADLY SERPENTS PANDED RUDDER Snake (EXTREA CYANOCHRONUS) PASSING THROUGH A SEA OF SNAKES BL-COLORED SEA Snake (HYDRUS BL-COLOR) such circumstances they will not VOL.17.NO.48 vessel had steamed for two hours through masses of snakes, most persons suspected the skipper of having drawn a very long bow. But the captain had told them to wait, and owing to her new possessions, more and more ships will ply the waters of the Irdian and Chinese sents, the world will learn many new and stricting things about a feature of animal life that has been known practically to only a few. The first scientific and official report that reached the United States of the existence of great sea snakes in numbers so vast as to challenge credulity was Dr. George F. Becker of the United States geological survey, who saw a wonderful spectacle while passing through the sea of João, on the way to the Antarctic, to study the migrations for the United States government. Between Cebu and João the ship passed through sea snakes for 100 miles, and computed that there were at least 5,000 sea snakes and that if the "school" of serpents was as broad as it was long there must have been 50,000,000 of them. In this case the sea snakes, the sea literally and exactly speaking, was alive with them. Wherever the eye might look snakes were swimming with graceful convulsions, with heads, and long thin necks thrust far out of the water. The sea snakes in the Oceangwold's master computers that the area covered by the snakes that he saw was fully fourteen miles long and forty-two miles wide. The creatures seen by Dr. Becker then seemed entirely fearless and barely swim out of the track of the ship in time to escape death from the bow or the screw, the Oceangwold Killed many of them. This utter fearlessness is a distinguishing characteristic of the sea snakes, and it adds not little to the danger that is to be thrown to them, for it often leads them to attack them, masters and even to climb up the anchor anchals and through the hawserholes of vessels and to attack the crews. And as a bite of every one of the fifty known sea snakes is as no little fear felt of them in the great ocean spaces that are inhabited by them. It is a usual thing, when they are seize at all, to see them in huge numbers, because they are grecians and swim and particularly tempting form of food anywhere they appear to be able to discover the fact at once, and they will surround their prey and feed until nothing is left, that they are periodically that they are forced to leap into hunting ground and seek food elsewhere, and in such circumstances it is that they are seen occasionally by ships. It is fairly known varieties of these dreaded creature which are under a general title of *Thantophaplida*. None of them is able to live anywhere except in ocean water. Even in brackish rivers and estuaries they die after a few days, and in the ocean they are known as surely, as does a whale. Every inhabitant and subvariety is as poisonous as the cobra or the bushmaster of Africa. Indeed, with the exception of these two land that there is no snake on dry land that kills them, and as terribly as the sea snakes. Owing to their fatal weapons and their ease and celerity of swimming there are practically no enemies that destroy them and to make any impression on their numbers. The great Bad Balm sea eagle hunts them to some extent, but, as the bird knows the danger that threatens from its quarry, the hunting is done deliberately and with so much caution that an eagle does not kill many snakes and serpents until he gets a chance to setze one with his talons just behind the head. Then he hacks like lightning with his bill, aiming to cut off the venomous jaws. If he falls he drops the snake and files his bill. He can attack the snakes also. It is supposed that the thick, rough, fluffie skin of this nash is an armor against poison. Man is an invenient enemy to the serpents, but he does not hunt them on purpose. While he is not an invenient enemy year, there is no systematic light against the wicked things, and, as they are very productive, their numbers increase annually. They are as beautiful as they are dead, and Collaridge made no misuse of them when he made his ancient mariner say: Beyond the shadow of the ship I watched the water snakes. They swam through the white and when they reared the oafish light they swam through the white Within the shadow of the ship I watched their rich attire; Brown, blue, green, and black They colled and swam, and every track Was a flash of golden fire. No snake on land, except the coral, grass and carpet snakes, is clad so beautifully as are almost all the Thanatophida. Handed, striped, speckled, blotched, green, olive, yellow, blue and black; they seem the most beautiful things that the eye can hope to see as one. Trailing Skirt or Not? For the sake of health and comfort, a crusade is now being organized in the United States and Great Britain against the need to be worn long enough to sweep the ground. Lovely woman is entreated to wear a dress that is not too distracting and distributor of deadly microbes. The crusade is meeting with a group of assisting officers against certain irishmen treat the mister as a personal affront. They say, "We are assisting the irishmen against poor Mokbote" because he has every one be is against him? "If the wondrous days of the closing of this century, may probably describe this period in our age. Those of us who are outside the pale of bacteriology sometimes wonder why the microbes that luck in the water we drink and the air we breathe. It is as yet invented species which would watches them "swimming and coiling" 2r below the surface in the glorious transparence of the deep blue. Indian ocean. No man who has not seen them can form even a conception of their grace and agility. When they are swimming at an ordinary rate of speed they appear to undulate all over. They do not wind through the water as does an eel. Their method of progression reminds the beholder rather of the locomotion of a caterpillar, with the difference that it is far more graceful and that, as their bodies move and twist, colors play over them as they do on the back and sides of the dolphins. But when they dash at prey at full speed they move like an arrow, with their heads and necks thrust straight before them, if they are swimming under the surface, or, if they are darting along the top of the water, with their heads elevated just far enough to clear the crests of the waves. When they are rushing along thus their sole means of locomotion is their broad, paddle-shaped tail, which is peculiar to all the sea snakes, and forms the only striking difference between them and the ordinary terrestrial serpent. This paddle is used like a steamer's screw and has immense power. Bent sideways, it will stop the snake instantly as if the creature had anchored suddenly. Indeed, when dozing or resting over reefs and in the sea caves that are common in the coral banks, they hold fast to the rocks or bottom with these broad tails, and will often sway thus for hours in calm weather. The horror with which they are regarded in all the lands that border the seas in which they dwell has excellent reason, as they are often the first to suffer after their bite. Most of their victims are Malay and other native fishermen and shore dwellers, and physicians rarely get to see the victims. Statistics are not kept up with the number of possible to ascertain even approximately how many people are killed each year. But travelers know that there is hardly a fishing village that has not its tale of the dead. The fishermen, a time, scientists were inclined to the belief that the deadness of the bite was not due to the venom like that of land snakes, which cause blood poison, as does the bite that are not poisonous in themselves. But the case of a sailor on the British warship Algirine, coming, as it naturally appears, from the Mediterranean, the men, proved that the snakes are directly poisonous and that they carry fangs charged with venom—just like the snakes that are Algirine was lying in front of Madras, the capital of India, colored snakes suddenly rose almost under the keel and began to hunt fish. stable us to see the millions of microbes fighting each other around us, for the honor of giving us a death blow. But the most strenuous stroke in store for the destruction of the microbe is the declaration of science that women's long, trailing skirts on the public streets are undoubtedly conductors and distributors of microbes. Specialists say: "Abolish the long skirts and their wearers, and their homes will be healthier." A New York physician recently saw one of his women patients walking along Fifth Avenue, and he noticed that she wore a long, trailing skirt. She had a fine figure, and the long skirt added to her regal charms, but the physician observed that the long skirt faithfully fulfilled the vocation of a scavenger-it gathered and bore along pieces of loose paper, orange skin, refuse, and no doubt, our friend the microbe. Ever intent to catch a new idea, the physician got the woman to promise that she would send her skirt by messenger to his laboratory for the purpose of scientific experiment. She promised she would not even brush the street mud from the garment. After a long and careful examination, the THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY NOVEMBER 30. 1901. The sailors caught a big one, measuring about six feet, and drew it on deck. None of them dreamed that the creature was so nervously it snapped it at its captors so nervously it touched it until at last a young gunner seized it. It turned and hit him in the index,inger of the right hand. He cut him down and head off with his cutlass instantly, and he ran back to the body for awhile he gave it to one of his shipmates, who skinned it. The gunner went below and ate his breakfast about an hour later. For some time he felt pain or pain in his chest and, indeed, did not give it, a second thought, as the flesh had hardly been broken by the needle, like teeth. But he was on deck again less than two hours later. He saw the surgeon become convinced from the attack that the man was suffering from a violent poison. He began an investigation and found the snake. A native who haddened being one of the poisonous sea snakes by that time the victim's throat had become paralyzed and the edges of the tiny wounds were swollen and had begun to reopen. The discoloration had appeared first in his entire right side, his neck and face became spotted and bloated with dark purple and gray. Twenty minutes after the discoloration had appeared first in his entire right body, Death ended his suffering four hours after he had been bitten. The next case to come under the observation of surgeons also occurred in the port of Madras. The captain of a merchant vessel was bitten by some unknown man, who was so light and the small man were so petty, looking hardly more serious by fly stings, that the man believed that he had been bitten by a small crab and paid no further attention to it. He dressed in a suit and had a friend for dinner. After it he played with the children of his host and sang songs for the company. Now and then, later in the evening as time passed, he noticed a pricking, burning sensation, over his shoulder, rather pleasant than otherwise and did not complain the least. His friends took occasion several times to remark that he was looking particularly well. Three hours afterward sician was designed beyond measure to detect in that muddy, trailing skirt the presence of dead' microbes. Under order, the probe work, for the sician have been suspended from a clothes pug in the woman's room until the mud had time to cool, and the meantime the medicine may have damped themselves in their new lodgings.

He took himself under understanding. He took some breath when that failed the ship's doctor prescribed medicine for him. When this produced no effect a Burman sailor suggested he go to sea by a sea snake. On examination the doctor found that the two thyms wounds were angry and purple, and he instituted drastic treatment at once, but the victim within seventy-one hours after being bitten. Near Rear Island, in the Torres Stralis, a young Kanaka, while diving for pearl shells on a reef, was bitten in the fore-arm from within one hour that shot up from the bottom as he plunged into a tacked him without provocation.

Sir Joseph Fayer and Prof. Russell permitted a five-foot sea turtle to bite a bird. It died in five minutes. A second bird, bitten by the same snake immediately, died in ten minutes. Another snake killed a minute. Then they tailed a sea snake till it bit a soft-shell turtle in the mouth. Five minutes afterward the turtle began arrangements were needed, as the long, trailing women's skirts would do all this having been left between the havens.

A second turtle succumbed in forty-ix minutes after being bitten and died in thirty minutes after being bitten, and a dead fish was killed within ten minutes. The sea snakes live entirely in the open ocean. They do not even ascend rivers. Their favorite hunting grounds are the islands of the Pacific, the rate the islands of the China, India and South Pacific seas. They do not often haunt the shores, but remain at some distance from land. Their scale-covered nostrils and immense lungs give them a powerful grip. Their dugout creatures, and there probably is no fish that can escape them, even though armed with spines and thorns, for they swallow their prey head first and appear to be able to escape. Being so small and strong, adult specimens are not taken often and most of the captures are limited to young ones. Russell and Sir John Bates, a British ocean snake, live only two or three days, as a rule, when away from the open sea. Even in a baskish pool, with plenty of food, specimens lived within that time, although they were left carefully guarded. They are not the only of the others showed such tenacity. They can hardly move on dry land, and after wriggling around a bit and biting savagely and blindly in all directions, they lie still. Their range is great.

It is certain that some varietate species rely on virtue of their constrictive powers while waiting for the poison to do its work.

Weeds need a patch of weep them approach prey, in fact, even attracts unsuspecting fish. But they do not depend on wiles for their food. They hunt like hounds, often forming a great circumference around a spot that is shallow, usually closing in as they devour the fish. Often such hunting hats for weeks until the last fish in that part of the sea has been destroyed. It is then that seamen occasionally sight enormous schools like that seen by Capt. Roberts of the Osoin-g Of the fifty different species, the hydrophane are the more common. Like all the other species they have heads that are comparatively small, with bodies that are heavy in the forepart and laterally compressed toward the end, finishing in the paddie-like tail. Over the nostrils are scales that open and shut at will. The poison teeth are in the front of the upper jaw and are curved and grooved. Behind them are fine, needle-like teeth, and on the lower jaw are the sealing tangs with which the prey is held. A beautiful species is that of the pelamids. One of this family, hydrus bicolor, has a dark brown skin like velvet, so glossy that the scales hardly show. Along the belly, sharply marked off from the coloring of the back, is a band of vivid lemon yellow, and the tail is marked with glowing spots and blotches of darker tints. This snake occasionally is found along the Pacific coast of Central America. The pelamids are the only oceanic snakes that have thick necks. The handed rudder snakes are beauties, too. There are fourteen varieties of them. The predominating color is olive green on the back and a delicate and shining greenish yellow on the belly. From fifty to seventy-five black bands run along their entire length. Paturus, the flat falls, are blush or greenish black on the -ack and bright sulphur yellow on the -belt. They carry a stick that show prominently in the water and make the snakes look monstrous when they dart along far below the surface. They have bright yellow noses and jaws that extend a deep black spot that extends thence backward to the top of the head as if it were a cap. The sea snakes are permeated with a strong fishy smell, which remains with them even after they have been preserved in spitula. A Sadden Inspiration. Miss Faddington-Pooddam.

Address: THE APPEAL, 49 East 4th St., St. Paul, Ming The cry of "Negro domination," which has been raised so often in the South, we used to think was merely a subterfuge; and we used to contend that the whites had no good reason for fear, but we are not so sure about the matter now. We do not believe there is any desire on the part of the Afro-Americans to actually dominate, but they have no objection to having a finger in the pie. And there seems to be some danger that they will get that finger in, and that is what is so alarming to the whites. Now, the whites seem to be extremely selfish; and, while they unquestionably know a good thing when they see it, and at once proceed to appropriate as much of said good thing to their own use as is possible, they seem to think it very strange that anyone else can see and desire and appreciate the same good thing. Whether one chooses to admit a fact or not does alter the fact, or deprive it of existence, it is a fact that the Afro-American belongs to the human species, ambitions, morals, feelings, passions, etc., are just like those of other human beings.

"Men would be angels, angels would be Gods." There was a time, and, not very long ago, either, when a nice hewn-log house, nicely chinked with chips and coarse plaster, was thought by some whites, a few of whom are alive today, to be good enough for them, and consequently, good enough for anybody. They think very different now, and cannot get their mansions palatial enough to suit them, but they think an Afro-American ought not to have the same sort of desire. They used to wear buckskin, home-spun or any old thing they could get, but now they can't get clothes good enough or fine enough to suit them, but it brings a smile of decision to their lips to a well-dressed Afro-American. They used to have laws with serious penalties attached to prevent Afro-Americans from being educated, or even educating themselves. They knew what a good thing education was and wanted to keep it all for themselves, now they are patterning after the industrial institution founded by Booker T. Washington. They have found that the Afro-American is susceptible to the same improvements as themselves, and as he takes very readily to all such things, they are afraid he will outstrip them in the race, and, so, as they now are a little ahead, they throw every obstacle possible in the road of his progress. They see "we're risin'" and they are scared almost to death. But, bless their dear souls they need not be scared, we don't want the whole earth, we only want part of it. There are 10,000,000 of us. and some of the earth is necessary for us to live on. We have seen our white brothers enjoying all the good things of earth and we wanker after a share of those same good things. We don't want all, only a fair share. We are perfectly willing for other folks to have what justly belongs to them and we want what justly belongs to us—life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as vouchsafed by the Declaration of Independence. We were born here, this is our home, we intend to stay here. We are willing to get on harmoniously, but our white brothers are always kicking and stirring up bad feeling. They need not be so much afraid of us, we won't hurt them; we are unselfish enough to give them a show for their white alley every time. Let them be as fair with us and there will be no trouble. It will be remembered that a few months ago a white girl named Gazelle Wild, so it was alleged, was raped and murdered and her body thrown under a railroad bridge at Pierce City, Mo. When the body was found excitement ran very high; of course it was determined that the double crime was committed by an Afro-American—no other people ever do such things—and the result was that one Afro-American was shot down upon the streets, another was lynched and a third, all innocent, was fatally wounded as he fle THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER from his house, to which the lynchers had applied the torch. All the rest of the Afro-Americans in the town were driven from the town. Joe Lark, a railroad porter from San Francisco, was captured, accused of the crime and was spirited away to Springfield, barely in time to save his life from the lynchers. Lark's case was tried in Mount Vernon in the circuit court on last Tuesday, and he was acquitted. Of course he was tried by a white judge and jury, and there is no doubt that he would have been convicted if there was any substantial evidence against him. Though Lark was declared not guilty, it was necessary to COUNCIL BLUFFS' IDEA. 1. Council Bluffs—Say, Schwitzer, I have a little patent around the corner.dat I want you to help me work.

The identity of the ravisher and murderer has never been discovered, but had not Lark been protected as he was before his trial he would have been lynched, as many a poor black man has been, for a crime of which he was innocent. Lynch law must go. There has never been a time in the history of this country when as many men were at work at as good wages as at the present time. There has never been a time when there was as much money in circulation; there has never been a time when there were as few paupers in proportion to the total population, and there never was a time when the people were better satisfied with the existing conditions or less disposed to ask for "a change." All this must be taken in connection with the fact that there never was a time when the Republican party was more completely in control in state and nation, or when the beneficent effects of Republican rule were more perfectly obvious in the conditions that obtain. There is not a single act of the national administration since the exit of Grover Cleveland that can be pointed to as subversive of the interests of the people, or one which if left undone would have been better for the country.

"Candle-Lightin' Time," by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, is the title of one of the most profusely and artistically illustrated books of poems of the year. The binding is also a work of art of variegated coloring, enhanced by leaf and flower designs. The illustrations, which compose a picturesque and charming photographic revelation of the "Folk from Dixie," were taken by the Hampton Institute Camera Club. The decorations, by Margaret Armstrong, combined with the illustrations and binding, make a poem in themselves. Dunbar strikes a note herelin as clear from Lowly's note, "were given from Lowly" In "Fishin'" he gives a very amusing glimpse of a negro Isaac Walton. "Wen de fish begin to nibble, and de cok begin to jump. It's afearned dey'll quit dey bittin, case dey byeah my heat to go 'thum'. Twell be cok go way down undah, an I raise a awful shout. Ez a big ol' yallah belly comes a-gallivanth out. This poem is one of the most interesting character sketches in the book, and its illustrations taken from life throw a halo of romance around the cabin dwelers of Dixie. "Song of Summer" breathes the aroma of the woods, and sparkles with the bright skies and running waters through "Meddads level ex a fl." "When Dey Listed Colored Soldiers" is one of the best in the set, and its colorings are drawn with the hand of an artist. "For his buttons was shbin', an his face was shbin', too."

Tik-tar-for At an annual dinner of the St. Nicholas society Ambassador Joseph H. Choteau was down for the toast, "The Navy," while Senator Depew was to respond to "The Army." Depew began by saying: "It's well to have a specialist; that's why Choteau is to speak about the navy. We met at a navy office and never saw him again till we reached him. When I asked how he felt he said he thought he would have enjoyed the trip over if he had had any ocean air. Yes, you want to Depew on the navy. Choteau responded: "I've heard Depew halled as the greatest after-dinner speaker. If after-dinner speaking, as I have heard it described, we have to be the art of saying nothing at all, then Dr. Depew is the most marvelous speaker in the universe."

Some of the leading, women of our race in the Twin'Cities have banded themselves into a permanent organization, an orphan industrial institution and home for aged women, in Hastings, Minn. We have been very closely identified with all of the charitaria, knowing the exact condition to position to know the exact condition and the extreme necessity of such a movement among our people. So we desire to lay the matter before the public and hope it will meet the apprehension. Have you ever stopped to think that the only place for the aged women of our race is the poor farm, and the only places for our homeless and orphan formatory institutions where they get no training and very little of anything else. For more than four years this very important matter has been to open our hearts, but we have thrust to have it come back with renewed force. So we feel that the time has come to go forth in Jesus' name. The only hope of our race lies in the education. This is being very carefully done by other races for the reason that they know the power there for the education. The most valuable period of childhood is our purpose is unaccomplished by our public institutions. richest soil lies virgin; and unacquired, free to settle upon and claim G.

She-Why do people wear their hair coloured? for the highest culture. It is no secret that the most plastic period lies below childhood, in infancy proper. The chief part of all human learning is the development of the mind. No pretentious culture won in later years is really half so wonderful as the almost unconscious education carried on in the period of infancy. Dame Nature is busy with her babies, and has always been called into exercise, is cultivated and refined, mastery is being won over every physical power; the sentiments, the imaginations, the feelings, the sense is being called into a corresponding development. In this period we think of as all idleness, the unfolding of the superlative self must begin. In the early home life training the children, the start dropping of water will wear away a stone. The history of races and nations prove that some are especially endowed for the germination and production of certain ideas, but not for the greatness of an achievement do not receive their permanent value by the estimate which the present places upon them. Let no man, race or nation be endowed for a place the proper estimate upon the greatness and value of their achievements. The final verdict of history cannot be bought, posterior cannot be learned, nor envy can hide from future ages a truth or an achievement that is worthy to survive. Nor can power, wealth or pride give immortality to people, nor can envy take a passing glance to the contributions which the historic nations of antiquity have made to the civilization and progress of mankind. Abraham is the spiritual father of the Jews, and they are the spiritual progenitors of all those nations, tribes and people who now acknowledge a personal God. THE GEEK The Greeks gave us culture. The Romans developed the ideas of love and physical greatness. The world never before had such masters as the Romans. THE NEGRO. clean shirta? poose. Let us consider that races, like individuals, are differently endowed. Some have large spiritual endowment, some great intellectual endowment, while others are great physically. There are races whose endowment seems very small, and you know the Negro has ever been placed at the bottom of the column. But let us take fresh courage. Mankind is made of one blood: We have no less authority for this assertion than the word of He who cannot lie. He (God) said it, and I believe it because He said it. It may be true that the Negro has produced little that is worthy to survive, but let us remember that races like soils differ in degrees of productivity. Henry Ward Beecher said: "If the whole continent of Africa was sunk in mid-ocean; the people who would go down with it would not amount to as much as the bubbles that would come up." We will investigate that statement further on. John Ruskin, speaking of THE R contributions the different branches of the human family had made to archi- tecture, sustaining or bearing, member, the shaft." On this authority, the day the Negro is sunk in mid-ocean, that day the archi- tecture is a member of architecture goes down. But to come back to our original subject. Friends, the moral atmosphere which surrounds us is not con- tainable by healthy growth. The moral degradation of our children for the Afro-American boy and girl. The doors that lead to moral degradation stand wide open, they are even invited to enter. There are not many paths to paths of our youths that lead to death and punishment, but when he seeks to enter the doors that lead to the exercise of manly strength and virtue he finds it impossible to effect an entrance thereat. The intellectual atmosphere, moral and cultural growth, have not been always conducive to healthy growth, but we are not dead nor sunk in mid-ocean. Let us take courage and arise and take our place in the onward march of life. L. A. RAGAN. Minneapolis, Minn. A BOVINE TRAGEDY Report That Was Mute Upon the Case by a Biberian Timesel. Before the days of proper safeguards a good many cattle got in the paths of Michigan railroads, they were killed outright or were so badly injured to necessitate putting them out of mercy. These happenings frequently afforded the owners of the cattle an opportunity to bring suit against the railroad companies, so that the employees were required to be very careful as to details and to keep a strict record of the manner of the cow's death, etc. Regular printed reports of such cases had to be turned in by the section master, who was required to fill out blanks stating the probable age of the deceased animal, weight, color, distinguishing marks and disposition of animal being sometimes cut up and scorned. Naturally it was an Irish section "schuperintinder," who like Finnigan in his tense report of a wreck "Of agin on agn, Finnigan"—made out the reason bovine tragedy in a characteristic way. Mice guessed pretty well at the age and weight and color of the dead cow, but when he came to the line "disposition of carcass," he scratched his head reflectively. "Sure," he muttered, "she dared ally anyway." The opposite the line he scrawled, "Kind and gentle." "Detroit Free Press." THE LITTLE ONE'S PRAYER How He Occupies the Time Set Apart for Silent Devotion The little son of an Episcopal clergyman of Los Angeles was visiting with his mother a Canadian city, where the two attended services at a certain church. It is the custom in that church for the clergyman and congregation to bow in silent prayer for a minute or two first before the sermon begins. It was a new proceeding to the school, but not accustomed to see the child done in church, but the little chap bravely and reverently did his part. After the service was over the clergyman, one of the old evangelical school, who had noticed the apparent devotion of the child, spoke to him and commanded his reverence with an affectionate pat the head. "It was very pleasing," he said. "I was not bystanders, "to see this little fellow engaged in earnest prayer just before I began my sermon. What prayer did you offer to the Throne of Grace, my little boy?" All unconscious of the effect it produced the little fellow candidly and instantly replied: "I said, 'May my down to sleep, I pray the Lord to keep.'"—San Francisco Argonaut.
