THE COLONEL, AND THE SNAKE.
Shocking Outcome OF the Professors Ex-
pertinent in Natural History.

Shocking Outcome of the Professors Ex.
pertinent in Natural History.
A well-known professor of natural
history and an amateur taxidcrmist, re-
siding in northern suburb of Chicago,
was in the city to look at some South
American snakes procured for him by
q local dealer in foreign animals. Tho
reptiles, says the Times-IIerald, were
oil that the professor desired. The
purchase was made, the snakes were
chloroformcd and the professor placed
them in blue cloth bag he had car
ried with him for the purpose. lie then
went to the northwestern depot, took a
seat in the smoker, placed the bag be-
side him on the scat and proceeded to
enjoy cigar and the afternoon paper.
On the same train qunrtcttc of Chica-
go business men usually meet for a
quiet rubber on their way to their sub
urban homes. They happened to have
their seats on the other si'e of the aisle
from the professor. On the opposite
side facing the professor, one of the
players called the colonel had his seat.
The colonel is known for his weakness
for Kentucky juice and carried his us
ual allowance on this occasion. The
play started and so did the train. All
OF sudden, as the colonel arranged
his cards, he happened to look over to
the professors seat; he was observed to
start, and was evidently disturbed
about something. This was repeated
several times during the journey, and
the colonel was playing in bad luck
and had to stand the joking of his fell
low players.
Three of the players had now. reached
their stations and said good-by to the
colonel, who had q little further to
travel. Suddenly peculiar hiss was
heard. The professor started mp, looked
at his bag for second and then with
practiced hand caught the head of a
snake protruding from bag.
The colonel had been an interested
witness of the incident, and feeling
OF relief seemed to pass over his face.
Turning to the professor he said: $50
1t is real live snakes. Good God, 1
thought surely had them; why in
thunder do you carry such beastly YER
min around with you?" The professor
explained the reason and that probably
one of the snakes had not been suffi-
GENTLY chloroformcd.
The colonel has had to stand q good
deal OF joking since then anil has been
his friends to his favorite dis
pensary.

Settlers ON Reservation Lands.
The senate committee on public
lands has favorably reported an
amendment proposed by Senator
Carter of Montana, to the Sundry
civil bill. 1t affects all settlers
under the homestead laws of the
United States upon the public
lands acquired by treaty or agree
ment from the various Indian
tribes. Persons who have or who
shall hereafter reside upon tract
entered in good faith for the period
required by existing law, shall be
entitled to q patent for the land
upon the payment of the usual
fees, and no other payment is to be
required from the settler to entitle
him to q patent. The right to
commute any such entry and pay
for said lands, in the option of any
such settler and in the time and at
the prices now fixed by existing
laws, is, however reserved.

nosT SAVAGE OF SPIDERS.

r.. T,r,ptu,a Endowed with En0ogh
1,ourage to Attack Larger Enemies.
thc tarantula is a large burrowing
snilcr which dwells in shaftlike hole
il anks in the earth. Its appearance II
,nc,t rcpulsive, and inspires anyone
wbo examines it with feeling OF pro-
fond disgust As it stands, it fire.
ountlv covers an area Us large as the
pa m of mans hand, and over its body
AMI legs there bristlcs thick covering
ofred brown hair. 1t may be said that
its home is in many lands, but its great
es, size is attained in tropical and semi
tropical countries. In the south OF Eu-
rope, along the Mediterranean coast, 1t
hiss been known for centuries as the
mad spider" because the symptoms
following it's bite are similar to those
ofhydrophobia. There the peasantry,
especially those of Sicily, regard it
with mingled feelings Of hate and SUI
perstitious dread. They will tell you
that the only chance of recovery from
its bite is for the patient to commence
dancing without delay and to continue
until he falls scnsclcss from exhaustion
"a remedy which, ridiculous ~ it
seems, has something to be said in It's
favor, when we know that the one
danger to overcome is the tendency to
sleep, says Chambers Journal. As longas
this can be successfully avoided the pa
tient is in no danger; but if he give way
and allows himself to fall into . stupor,
then he is likely to succumb, even from
the comparatively mild poison Of the
European variety.
1t is in the tropical countries OF
South America, however, where al
forms of insect and vegetable life ct.
tain their highest development, that
this great spider is most deadly. And
further north, in the provinces of Mex
leo, where it is quite as numerous,
its poison is only a slight degree less
dangerous. There we have met II
everywhere and studied it's habits. In
the orange orchards, the vineyards and
the open prairies we have watched II
attack enemies many times its own
size, and marveled ut the case with
which it ovcrcame them. Even its own
kind are not exempt from its fierce on
slaught, and we remember once seeing
pair of them meet ON the upturned
root of fig tree and fight duel to the
death-the death of both. OF man II
seems to have no fear whatever, and
will attack without hesitation either his
hand or his foot, if they como within
striking distance. In doing so it stands
upon its four hind legs. 1t opens wide
its enormous fangs until the mandibles
protrude in a straight line from its face;
then, with all the muscular force it is
capable of, launches itself forward,
sinking them with vicious thrust
deep into the flesh of the enemy.
