All Snakes Do Not Hiss.

The popular idea that all snakes
hiss is incorrect when anacondas are
in question, if we may believe close
observer of the serpent family. The
sound they make is more like a growl
than hiss and has been well de-
scribed by a traveller as low, roar
ing noise" Their powers of degluti-
ton are sufficiently wonderful to
make exaggeration unnecessary, cred
ible witnesses testifying to the fact
that one has been known to swallow
a horse, while bullocks are not infre-
quently attacked also. Few nonsci-
entifc readers, by the way, are aware
that not only do the jaw hinges of
the boa tribe become dislocated in
the act of swallowing a large animal,
subsequently resuming their proper
position by means of the elastic con-
Meeting tendons, but that the skull
bones separate centrally, so the whole
constitutes a sort of quadrangular
oritice with apparently indefinite
powers of expansion. Popular Mag

THE town of Wolverhampton, Eng.
enjoys the distinction of having in
vented new sport, which, as long as
the novelty lasts, is likely to be popu-
lar among the Golfers in the BLACK
Country" At tavern in the outskirts
of that town man was matched
against a rat tied to wooden peg in
the middle of table by a long line,
which gave it plenty of play. The rat
tried to escape, but was forced to
fight, and the man, whose hands were
tied behind his back, attacked it with
his teeth. According to local
chroniclers, the engagement was a saw
age one, and the rat inflicted severe
bites upon his human antagonist. But
the vermin was ultimately killed fairly
and squarely.

off the Battery, n. Y, her agents hav-

crew for the ship SO that she may make
the return voyage to Liverpool. She is
a four-masted vessel and is almost new.
When she started from Liverpool to
America she had on board a crew that
was enthusiastic over her fine lines and
general appearance. 1t was expected
that the voyage would take twenty
days. Instead of that it took six
months, and when the Lydgate finally
put into port last week the sailors with
one accord packed up their kits,
sclambered over the rails of the vessel
and swore never to set foot on her
again. As they were all shipped for
the round trip their desertion cost them
the six months wages they had already
earned. The sailors think she is a
