REAL SEA
Many Marine Monsters as Horrible as Ar,
Ever Pictured.

Ever Pictured.
The seas from Madagascar to
Panama and from Japan to New
Zealand are thickly infested with
marine snakes. DIR. Steincger, the
reptilian expert of the Smithsonian
institution, says that they are among
the most poisonous of all known
serpents, their venom being no less
deadly than that of the cobra and
rattlesnakes, says the Pittsburg
Chronicle-Telegraph. Furthermore,
they are very fierce and aggressive,
and will commonly attack human
beings if they get a chance. They do
not frequent the shadows unless
possibly for breeding, but live in the
open ocean. When full grown they
are from six to eight feet long.
Fishermen in the waters where
they are found are greatly afraid of
them. Their bodies are fiat and the
inside of them is almost wholly filled
by the lungs, which are large, in order
that they may be enabled TO stay
beneath the surface for a long time
without coming up to breathe. They
have eyes modified for seeing in the
water, so that when they are taken
out Of their native element they seem
blinded and strike wildly. Their
fangs, like those of the cobra, are
always erect.

Much of the a of Italy has
been pinned on history's page by a
stiletto. The combination of an infiam-
mable Italian and a small piece of hard
ware with a needle-like point is often a
dangerous one. They are SO apt to go
off nearly together. The swarthy son
of Italy has a temperament something
like the famous volcano Of his poetic
