one day from poor woman, widow of

Immense Reptiles.


The colony of Natal. South Africa,
sbounds in boa constructors and pythons
While they do not attack men they are
especially destructive of cattle, sheep
and oxen, and for this reason parties
are formed by hunters and natives to
burn the bush and forest in order to ex-
terminate the pests. Some of the SOL
diers at Pietermaritzburg were recently
informed by party of neighboring Zu-
lus of the whereabouts of huge python
that had been destroying their oxen.
The soldiers, with 300 natives, start
ed off to capture the snake, and having
located it the forest was fred for about
a mile roundabout, an enormous pit
having been previously dug in toward
the center Of the inclosed space. What
with the burning brush and the shouts
of the Kaffirs they soon drove the rep
tile toward the pit, where, closing in
upon him, they forced him into it. The
python proved to be of enormous size,
being 80 feet long and Al inches in cir.

pid or dazed, having just eaten young

An enormous cage, with iron bars
half way down the front, having been
constructed, the snake was got out of
the pit and taken to Maritzburg in the
cage. Here it is kept ON exhibition at
the barracks, and it is fed twice week
two Kaffir goats at each meal. 1t will
not eat anything that has been already
killed for it, preferring to kill its food
itself. The goats are thrust through
small door at the end of the cage alive,
when, fixing its great eyes upon them.
the snake suddenly lunges forward and
brushes them in its powerful folds. Aft
er covering them with thick slime al
most an inch deep before swallowing,
it fiattens them out by squeezing them
and then swallows them almost at
gulp. After this the python goes to sleep
and does not awake until it is time to
feed again. London Telegraph.
