SNAKE SWALLOWED BY SNAKE.
One of the strangest Incidents in the

One of the strangest Incidents in the
experience of the management of the
Geological Society's menagerie has
occurred, says the London Times, in
the reptile house, the scene being one
of the compartments in which the boa
constructors are confined. Two large
boas occupied the chamber, one snake
being nine feet, and the other eight
feet long. When the one boa was
found in this cage; the other had dis
appeared. Though the survivor was
only a foot longer than the other
snake, there was 10 reason to doubt
that it had completely swallowed it's
companion. 1t was SO distended that
the scales were almost separated, and
it was unable either to coil itself or to
move. There is every reason to be-
lieve that in accomplishing this al
most increditable feat the snake acted
by mistake, and that it devoured it's
companion by an accident. The larg-
er boa was fed with a pigeon before
the house was closed for the night. 1t
swallowed the bird, and the other boa
was then given a pigeon, which it had
begun to swallow when the snakes
were left for the night. 1t is believed
that the larger snake then caught
hold of the part of the pigeon which
projected from the others mouth, and
gradually enveloped, notonlY the bird
but the head of the other snake. Once
begun the swallowing process would
go on almost mechanically. AS the
swallowed snake was only one foot
less in length than the swallower and
of nearly equal bulk, weighing about
30 lbs, the gastric juices must have
entered the stomach before the re-
mainder was drawn into the jaws.
Though still rather lethargic, the sur
viving boa is not injured by its meal.
It coils itself up without difficulty, and
its scales have the beautiful irridescent
bloom peculiar to the skin of snakes
when in perfect health.

Admiral Aveling, In command Of the
Russian fleet, is Of French extraction. He
Is an interesting man, and n characteristic
incident of his career is worth relating.
When many years ago he was cruising in
the Baltic as a midshipman, among the
men OH the ship was former captain of a
man-of-war, broken for insulting the ad-
miral and reduced to a common seaman.
The young officer considered it his duty to
treat the man with all the kindness consist
ent with the regulations and to try to start
him afresh. A pardon could be granted
only for an act Of bravery. 1.-The next time
storm comes on" Aveling said to the
ex-captain, II will drop into the sea, as II
by accident. You jump after me and win
your epataets."
This was agreed upon. Some days later,
In u squall, Aveling disappeared. The ex-
captain jumped over the ships side, but be
was poor swimmer, and instead OF rescu
ing Aveling he owed his life TO the latter.
The commanders report reached the
car, and the sx-captain was restored TO his
rank. The captain is now an admiral. The
other day he celebrated the fftieth ami.

How The Millions Were Made.

Mr.. VIM. Il. Curtis, in II letter to
the Chicago Record, cyphers out the
profits of the syndicate that took the
last issue Of U. S. bonds, and shows
by detail figures that the general es-
innate Of the enormity Of that shis-
ter deal Is none too high,
"rhe bonds amounted in value 10
sos, 800, and were sold by the gov
ernment al premium of lis above
par To Messrs. Morgan and Belmont.
They disposed of them to the syndi-
cate which they organized, at an adj
vance of $7.75 on each bond of 500.
This gave Morgan and Belmont a
profit OF Si.s3l, 575. OF this however,
they retained only three-fourths Of
one per cent as their commission, or
the sum Of StSS,372, the remainder
being divided among the members Of
the syndicate, giving them profit OF
6G72 per cent. on their Investment,
which with the II, per cent interest
accrued on the bonds, was equal to
a profit of S.A22 per cent. Their
money being tied up only about six
months, tina transaction netted Thorn
at The rate of l6.sil per cent u year.
But the bonds were som worth pre-
mium of from - to - cents, or an
advance Of nearly $li on each 500, 50
that the members If the syndicate, If
they have sold the bonds, nave had
Il profit of $l2l9i,3sl, or, if they re-
tain a part of them, can, by selling
realize that amount.
1T was Il nice transaction for thr
syndicate, but does not reflect great
credit apouythe financial ability q
theudministration The latter, how
ever, can plead that much Of tht
blame rests upon a democratic con
gress, which refused to take any nc.
ton for the relief OF the treasury
while the administration waited foi
il To act until the treasury was on
the verge Of bankruptcy, and then
was Obliged to make the loan with
the utmost haste to avoid national
insolvency.
