sor Huxley. Mathilde Blind was little more
than child when she published her first
book of verse; since that time she has writ
ten constantly, but her greatest success was
made last year by her translation of the

an intimate friend of the mother of the
strange Russian artist who sprang into
such sudden fame on the publication of her
posthumous diary, Miss Blinds charming
parlOr-study is lined with portraits OF the
unhappy Marie, and she possesses many
letters and other interesting relies which

her subject. Speaking French and Italian

she gives during the London season are
crowded with a strangely heterogeneous
crowd OF celebrities, being both for her
own sake and that OF her family much re-

makes her much sought after in every
world on which she touches. Miss Mathilde

Ha. Its Teeth in It's stomach.

There is a curious snake (Hydraci yet) in
South Africa that lives wholly upon birds
eggs. 1t has no teeth or signs OF teeth in
the mouth, its whole dental array being
located In the stomach! Buekland says
that they are not true teeth, but that they
serve all purposes. They grow from the
center of each vertebra. They pass through
the walls OF the stomach and are covered
with enamel, just like true teeth. This is
natures provision for breaking eggs with
out running the risk of losing the precious
contents, as would be the case if this egg
eating serpent had its teeth in the proper
place. When the egg is safely inside. the
abdominal walls contract and crush it
against that long row of vertebral teeth.
