COL. JONES IN LUCK.
ne captures a Genuine Porpoise Snake.
snch ms Few Others Have Seen

ap'ureS Genuine Porpoise Snake,
such as Few Others Have Seen.
Noi' ). - Jones was fishing on the
banks Of Redfoot creek. Tennessee
having left his boat to escape the hot
sun and had hardly thrown his line
out INTO the water when he saw a dark
OBJECT rapidly approaching the surface
AT tlrst the genial colonel thought it an
alligator of unusual size, but on closer
observation discovered it to be an enor.
nous creeping serpent. When this
huge monster was within a few wards
OF MN Col. Jones gathered some stones
about the size of goose eggs and struck
IL several times in succession, and,
strange to say, the blows did not an
pear TO worry his snakeship to any
great degree, as it never once left the
surface Of the water. but continued nm
concerned at slow pace up stream.
Col. Jones Immediately seized his rod
and line and scampered hastily to his
boat 1t was only question of a few
minutes before he was in midwater and
IN hot pursuit of the object, which was
soon overtaken. When within close
proximity he noticed the huge reptile
seemed to be blind and apparently
harmless. Fearing an attack. however
Col Jones seized his rifle, and, taking
aim at his head, fired. The bullet
lodged in the collar bone and broke its
neck. There was slight movement of
the tail, little slashing of water. and
all was over, the monster floating down
stream.
Curious to learn the species of this
peculiar reptile Col Jones made a lasso
from stout rope which he had in the
boat and threw it around its body. thus
enabling him to tow it ashore. A crit
ical examination developed the fact
he had captured monster snake never
before seen in this part of the country.
1t had head resembling a long. fun
mel shaped horn, the body being SINH
lar to small kegs joined together What
made matters more queer, each keg
seemed to have a bunghole or outlet
(some of the queer knots being on the
sides and some on the top. Hauling
the tail on the bank, which was by no
means an easy task, he opened one of
the knots with jack knife, and found
1t to be full of clear, purified oil.
At this juncture Maj Sam Hall, an
old sportsman, who has hunted all over
the world, came up and frantically
gesticulating, he exclaimed, John.
your fortune is made" Further he
said it was porpoise snake, and rare
specimen to be found thus far north.
The oil in the kegs has since been found
to be pure unadulterated porpoise oil.
Twelve forty gallon barrels were filed.
The oil has been shipped to Pittsburg.
By way of explanation it should be
said to the incredulous that this is a
species Of the snake family which OBJ
tains oil by plunging its sharp head into
the side Of purpose and draining every
drop Of oil from It's body.
The snake was forty-three feet long.

The Invention of the Panorama.

The panorama was invented by a
Scotchman named Robert Barker, who
obtained a license in London in 1877
and erected a rotunda on Leicester
square. He was associated with Rob
ert Fulton, the practical inventor OF
the steamboat, who introduced pano-
ramas into Paris in 1896, but resigned
in favor of Thayer, perhaps in order to
give his attention TO the application OF
steam to boats Thayer raised a 70
tunda on the Boulevard Montmartre,
whence comes the name of the Passage
des Panoraluas. Bonaparte caused
plans to be drawn up for eigh5 pano
ramas, in which his conquests We're tc

always tried to impress with the magni
tude OF the achievements in order &c
keep them faithful to his star. Blu;

evening under the auspices of the Busi-

all that its managers could have asked
in regard to the numbers who attended
it and the enthusiasm exhibited.
The audience broke into cheers, and
wildly waved innumerable flags, when
ex.President Cleveland was discovered at
the rear OF the stage making his way
down to the seat intended for him. A
few moments later the cheers and waving
of flags were renewed as Gov. Hill was
seen taking seat near Cleveland. The
ex-president and governor greeted each
other cordially, and minute later J..

duced Grover Cleveland
At the mention OF the ex-president's
name and his appearance at the speak

enthusiastic applause. Men stood on
chairs and waived their hats and shout

hands and flags and the women joined
in the enthusiasm and stood up and
waved their handkerchiets.
