A Rabbit Subducs a Boat Constructor,

According to Paris newspaper rab.
bit was placed in the cage of one of the
larger serpents in the Jardin DIES Plantes
recently, for the daily meal of the occu-
pant. A poorer specimen of the rabbit
tribe, in point of appearance, it would
not be easy to find; but it was noticed
that the little creature had peculiarly
knowing and determined look. The boa
Lissed joyously at the sight of his din
ner, and at once put ali the power of
fascination he possessed into his large
round eyes.
But the rabbit was not to be fasci
mated. Boldly, and even detiantly, he
returned tho reptiles stare, till the lat
ter, finding milder means of no avail,
proceeded to unfold one of his colts.
This menacing movement had the effect
of producing marvellous display Of
saltatory activity on the part of the rab-
bit. His wild bounds and jumps, which
he kept up uninterruptcdly for several
minutes, moving his ears terribly the
while, could only be compared to those
of n red Indian "brave" in the heat of q
war dance.
The boa, who was evidently unaccus-
toned to such show of fight on the
part of his victims, drew back, thor
oughly intimidated. Profting by this
moment of hesitation, the rabbit, who
was decidedly The Bayard of his race,
jumped upon the back Of his adversary,
who now, utterly cowed and discom-
fitted, retreated under the folds of his
blanket. The rabbit squatted himself
on his hind quarters at the other end of
the cage in an attitude of expectation;
and in these positions--so the veracious
history ends-both animals were found
by the keepers next morning.
