interesting The paper on the pine or bull
snake by j. F. Pennypacker was of great
interest.

been sent to man in this city from New
Jersey, but escaped and was pursued by u
crowd of boys who nearly killed 1t before
Mr.. Ponnypacker got the reptile He kept
it alive for several days, but finding thatit
was dying killed it and preserved 1t In oil.
cohol The snake IL between five and six
feet long and looked to bc about two inch.
es in diameter at the largest part OF its
body. Mr.. Pennypncker described the
char ncteristcs of the pine snake and how
1t kills Its food by catching 1t In Its coils
after knocking 1t down with Its head He
also said that the name bull snake came
from u peculiar, low, coarse Kissing noise
given out when the snake Is aroused.
William McCsuley spoke gu the glaciers
OF Alaska. He described the glacier for.
nation Of the country. paying particular
attention to the Muir glacier aad describ-
cd how 1t was disappearing. lie also told
how trees were growing under this gent
glacier and described how years ago the
country vas covered with forests which
were eventually hidden by glaciers.
Both Mr.. Candy and Mr.. Pennypacker
