An Amusing Incident of Animal Life In
South America.
Snakes have many enemies. Mr. W.
II. Hudson writing of animal life on
the great South American pampas,
where there are many kinds of snakes,
both venomous and non-venomous,
says that their enemies are legion.
One of them is the armadillo. which
appears to have no fear whatever of
snake venom. Burrowing owls feed
largely on snakes, and the same is true
of herOns and stOrlSs. But perhaps the
most notable of snake-killers is the
large lizard known as the iguana.
The iguana is no mean adversary. as
may be judged from the fact that dogs
which attack one sometimes come off
with broken leg.
The lizard does not wait for the
snake to take the offensive, but goes
swiftly in pursuit, and being very rapid
in its motions, seldom has any diff

MIND READER BALKED,
Yancey and Lounsbury His Sub
jects.

jects.
A. b. Yancey, travelling passenger
agent of the Burlington. recently ap-
peared in new role. and he selected
the city of Fargo, N. d., as the place
for making his debut. Prof. Tyndall,
the mind reader, paid that city visit
and gave an exhibition of his mysterious
power in locating certain name that
had been selected Oh a hotel register.
There was committee of eight selected
to assist him, and among them was
Yancey and Col. c. A. Lounsbury.
Yancey and the others drove up and
down various streets, endeavoring to
folded. Being uncertain of the
proper route, Prot. Tyndall asked
Yancey if they were on the right
road. From matter OF business
habit, Yancey automatically re-
piled: mo, take the Burlington"
In fact, General Agent johnson, of the
Northern Pacific at Fargo, insinuates
that Yancey purposely put the profess
sor on the wrong "steer" 1t is the
opinion of the editor of the Fargo Argus
that Yancey'S mind was a little too
strong for the professor. Were it not
for the fact that Fargo is in prohibit
ton state, one would naturally suppose
that Yancey had struck a "chink foun.
dry" and absorbed little too much of
the resin from the nectar OF Gambrinus
before taking part in this remarkable
exhibition-for money. 1t is sufficient
to say that the mind reader struck one
of the most difficult problems of his life
when he struck Yancey. The test
finally proved successful, though the
strain threw Prof. Tyndall into Q
swoon. Yancey shows no i'll effects
from his experience, and apparently is
as we'll as ever.
