Horrible Specimens Of Humanity

African travellers have spoken of a
tribe Of negroes who possess that orna-
mental appendage SO much admired by
Lord Monboddo, tail; but their state.
ments have never received .credencc.
1t appears, however that race of men
with tails really does exist in the interior
OF Africa. In recent sitting of the
Academic des Sciences, NJ. de Cauret
related tina, in 1912 he found in the SER
vice Of a friend a, Mecca one of these
wsetches, the lowest assuredly of man
kind. The creature had an exterior pro-
longalion OF the vertebral column to the
extent OF three or four inches. He stated
that he belonged to the tribe OF the CHI

to subdue the savage appetite, he was

\ snake with head on each extremi-

The body was about two fee, long, and
two inches In diameter in the centre. -
The snake was well formed, large in the
centre, and gradually .apers to each end
with two perfeet heads IN every respect.
But the most novel thing to witness was
its actions toward the gentleman who
caught it, running one way with as much
ease, apparently, as the other, with both
tongues out, each raging, apparently,
with anger. Many will look upon this
as false, "a snake story, but it is fact,
