Legislature had devised some whole
some educational measures; given New

which was three feet and half high
when erect. The bird being strange it
was taken TO the Office of DR.. Robinson
and examined by ornithological experts.
While being examined the head of a
snake protruded from the fowls mouth.
Naturally the spectators dropped the
bird S head and awaited developments.
The snake crawled out of his strange
prison in the stork's stomach and prov
ed of as rare species among ophidians
as the stork Is in North American fauna.
The reptile measured four feet in length
and three inches in circumference.
