Java Reptiles.
From tie New York World.

From tie New York World
Two years ago an English officer visiting
on the island of Java had a craze for
making a collection of reptiles. and, with a
sixteen-year-old boy, wandered about,
utterly needless of the warnings of the ma
tives. One day when he was roaming these
corridors he saw dimly in one of the cham
bers a yellow glimmer Quickly walking
up. he prodded the yellow mass with his
cane. and. suddenly as flash. with a leap
gressive Of all the Java snakes, had him in
his grasp. The reptiles fangs were buried
in his shoulder, and the deadly coil, strong
as steel. was about his body. He would
have been killed If his compaion had not
struck the snake back of the head, sever
ing the backbone. AS 1t was, the two men
both indulged in a spell of fever, and the
officers arm was useless ever after his ex-
perience. The snake was black and yellow,
fifteen feet long, and could have killed a
horse.
A hunter cunning near a river one day
saw some wild hogs come down to drink.
python seized a full-grown one, three
feet high at the shoulder and threw two
coils about his body. The hog simply fiat
tened out, and in a minute was strip of
meat-nothing more. The snake was shot
and found to be twelve feet long and seven
inches through. yet it crushed the bones of
it's victim as though they were paper. A
man who has in his possession the loin-
swallowed by boa constructor saws the
cloths were knotted so tightly that they
seem to have been done by hand The only
part of the coolies body found was the
lower jaw bone. all the rest having been
digested by the big snake.

Madison Wis.) Letter in New York Post
The Scardinavians of southern Wisconsin
celebrated at Stoughton last week the
Norwegian independence day. The proper
date was May II. but as that fell on Sun
cay the actual observance was on Monday
the 18th. Stoughton is the center of Nor
Wegian life, of Norwegian thought per-
laps of politics. too. for the state of Wis
consin. 1t is a very Mecca for the de-
soendants Of Camel Norge. visit to
Stcughton is the nearest thing to visit
to Norway. Yet the celebration was
unique because while the event commemor-
ated was wholly Norwegian, the program
was typically American. The first thing to
attract attention was the American flag
ard the stars and stripes were to be seen
everywhere. while not a Norwegian flag
was In sight The crowd was most order
ly one. And what was still more remark
atle. though all the Norsemen had the rep
ut&tion of being mighty at the wine and
beer casks. tfeir descendants IN America
are most abstemious. At Stoughton during
seen during the day and very few were
drunk at night. In the parade at the head
Of the line marched a militia sergeant
carrying the American flag. and that was
the only flag in the procession. There
were several addresses. The first was by
the principal of the high school, a young
man with a German name, but a native
American. His excellent speech was Amer
lean through and through. He was ad-
dressing Norwegians. but he referred 20
Norway only twice. He was an uncom-
promising American, who believed that our
own history furnishes plenty of instances
of valor and virtue without forcing us to
fall hack upon the history of Europe for
illustrations. The second speaker young
man noted as local orator. made a comic
address in a peculiar dialect, a dialect
which bears toward the literary Norwegian
a relation somewhat similar to that which
the Yankee dialect bears to literary En-
glsh. The correspondent expressed sur
prise that he had not talked in Literary
Norwegian" He couldn't" college
friend. a Norwegian, replied. "In this dia-
lect any mistakes in Norwegian that he
makes are not noticed. He is good orator
in English, but not in Norwegian. There
are a very few Observation-Disclosures who
possess at the same time ability as speak
ers and a complete command of Nor
wegian. The committee of arrangements
tried to get Prof. o. of the state univer-
sity, but he wouldn't come" why was
tLat?" well. you see. We young Nor
veSians are Americans now and we feel
that these foreign holidays ought to be dis
continued. We don't like to do anything
that tends to make separate class
among other Americans" All in ALL the
Norwegian holiday seems to have been a
thoroughly American affair.
