As merchant on Louisiana avenue was
unloading wagonload OF bananas yester-
day small boa constructor dropped from
one of the punches. There was general
stampede, during which the native of Cen
trail America calmly eoiled itself and waited
developments. In few moments a large
crowd had assembled at q safe dis

cussed at long range. The cold pavement
however, and the chilling atmosphere were
not conducive to great amount Of hiIarity
on the part of the snake, and after little
while he tied himself in dozen bow knots,
tucked his head out Of sight and went to
sleep. 1t was a fatal mistake, for a moment
later he was prisoner, and now poses in
coils as the chief attraction in museum on
