Twenty Thousand Deaths Year In

McClure's Magazine: Altogether
about 10000 persons die each year In

snakes have mentioned, and II In no
exaggera ton to any that some sixty OF
Queen Victoria's subjects who were
alive and well yesterday are today be-
Ing burned or buried out there MS a

will happen tomorrow and the next

fact must be remembered that II IN

times as large as that OF the United
States, and thus passes to n great ex-
tent unnoiced.
The casualties are confined almost
entirely to the poorer and more ig-
norant natives, who habituaRy go
about with bare feet. For, although
creatures like the hamadryas and the
echis are occasionally spelling for n
fight, as general rule snake Is no
more anxious to be trodden upon than
a man Is to tread upon him. The con-
sequence Is that people who wear
boots are hardly ever bitten. This Is
not 10 much because OF the protection
OF the leather as on account Of the
noise made by boot upon the ground,
which warns the snake to get out OF
the way. The ordinary native in bare
feet makes hardly any sound whatever
as he walks along and Ia consequently
very liable to surprise snake in the
path. The white man. on the other

We were on n shooting party near

ed from our mornings round In the
Jungle after deer and always n posi-
BILE tiger or q wolf, we found that
some fishermen had brought In an ALI
gator about o feet long securely bound
on a bullock cart. The animal was
still alive, but had evidently been Sc
yerely beaten to make him quiet on
the bullock cart, 80 the order was
given TO tie a stout rope around Its
loins and to turn II into small tank
to refresh and recover itself while we
were taking our baths and our break
fast.
Breakfast over, the alligator was
hauled out OF the tank, and was quite
lively, 80 that II had to be fastened to
a tree. Then operations for killing II
began, but bullets from small rifle
or an ordinary twelye-bore gun
seemed only to irritate II. A Sontal
brought q large spear, one OF the lato
yenabu ferro which they use, and
drove II down the alligator's throat
into Its vitals, and this had more ef-

was separated from the body. The
body was then cut open, and the heart
was lying on the ground by Its side,

cut up the body and ate everything
so that In a short time there
was nothing left but skin. and bones.
