In the month of July four or five
wears ago / was out shooting forican
with friend of mine in Guzerat. We
had fairly good luck, and as we were
making our way to the railway station
TO catch the early train back to Ahme-
dabad l noticed my friend, who was
shooting in line on my left, suddenly
point his gun at something on the
ground and fire, and on asking what 1t
was he said it was large black cobra
and that he had shot it in two pieces,
the head portion disappearing down q
hole. As we were in n hurry to catch
the train we went on, but very soon
heard one of the heaters calling out
and looking back saw him running
toward us with the head portion OF the
snake following him, with the hood ex'
banded. 1t appeared that he had re-
NAMED behind, trying to dig out the
cobra, and the result was that it came
out of the hole and went for him. o.
course the snake could not get much

If the name of Emperor William does
not appear in the catalogue OF the exhi-
bition of the Berlin academy of arts
that opens shortly, the hanging COM
mittee of that institution had better
look out for squalls. If they were to
reject the picture he has sent in, the
kaiser would be quite capable of order
ing them out to instant execution, or
of writing down the exhibition in the
columns of any newspaper that would
accept imperial art criticism. The
painting represents, we are told, "a
vancouver ut sea, black clouds of smoke,
torpedoes, guns and boats tossed upon
raging waves" The description is
rather incohercnt. Probably the pic
turc is, too. But there is no fear that
the loyal Bcrliners will be deprived Of
| the chance Of feasting their eyes upon
it. There is one magnificent feature
about the canvas that would secure its
acceptance in almost any exhibition in
the world. That is the signature,
