and scarcer every year, and II not better pro-
tected than hitherto will eventually become as
nearly extinct as the grizzly bear and the bison
Within the last few years fears have been en-
tsrtained that the big game for which South
and Central Africa has long been famous would
be similarly annihiated by reckless shooting
This would be the greater pity because the
Dark Continent has been inhabited by some of
the largest and noblest animals in the world.
An international conference Of several Of the
Powers which have possessions in Africa was
recently held in London for the purpose of
checking the appalling wastefulness that has
hil herto been exhibited by hunters in that part
Of he globe. Representatives from England.
Germany. France Spain, Portugal and the
Congo Free State participated The meeting
was held under tie auspices of the British For
eigE Office. A number Of propositions looking

agreed to. These will be reported back by the
delegates to their respective Governments. and
the latter are expected to issue the requisite
aers to carry the sentiments of the conference
into effect.
It must not be inferred from this fact that no
efficial protection has been extended to game in
Africa before England at least, has long been
alive to the situation, and has enacted regula-
tons for the territory under her jurisdiction
These may not have been vigorous in their
character and in enforcement as could be de-
sired, and the other Powers have not cooper
ated so heartily they promise to do But
It should be borne in mind, in the interest Of
historical accuracy, that in both British and
German territory game reserves have been Off
cialy outlined, and only those persons who had
taken out licenses (at a cost of $3.50 have been
permitted to shoot therein The ambiguous

picturesque paths, never looked more inviting
and the fact that groups of people could be seen
not only along the ranges where the animals
roam and among the plants in the botanical

the streams, showed that the park is becoming
known and that its beauties are appreciated by
the public

aud Charles Audepop, three sailors
fr III the schooner Okaucgau, were
re-arrested last Friday and will be
charged with the murder OF All Cho,

weeks ago.
These are the same men who were
taken into custody the day after
the murder was discovered aud re.
leased after weeks detention,
owing to lack Of evidence. Persons
were afterwards found who gave
evidence which is considered by
the authorities. sufficient to hold
them for trial. The prisoners were
examined by Secretary Cooper, who
found that several hours on the
Saturday night on which the muir
der was committed are not salts

A certain clergyman in a manufacture

rages in his congregation and referred
to the subject in the pulpit. saying
that there were 500 young unmarried
women In the parish and blamed the
young men for the lamentable situa-
ton. He charged it to their bashfulness
and their being too avuriciOuS. The
newspapers got hold Of his complaint
and their reports were published in 9TH

overw helmed with letters inquiriny
about the ladies, with evident desire ON
the part of many Of the writer's to open
correspondence with some of them. He

ing the young men with righteousness

The reason would be better stated by
saying that they did not feel able to

society requires. Wages. in other

CAPTURING A PYTHON.
Great Strength Of Philippine Island



Serpent.
pythOns are numerous in the Philip
pines. We often heard OF very large
ones. says Dean c. Worcester in his in
teresting account of these uch-talked
islands. but the nearer we got to them
the smaller they grew. Finally, how
ever, we got fine specimen. Some
men had found him coiled up under a
fallen tree. Arranging rattan slip
nooses so that he could not we'll escape
them. they had then poked him till he
crawled into their snares, when they
jerked the knots tight and made the
lines fast to trees and rocks.
When we reached the python l near
~ stepped on him. for he was stretched
out OH the ground and looked for all the
world like log. 4 venOmOus hiss
warned me Of my mistake, and caused
me to beat so sudden Il retreat as to
afford great delight to the assembled
crowd of Tagbanuas.
The reptile had about three feet of
play for his head. and thought 1t wise
to treat him with respect. Drenching
chloroform, presented 1t to him on the
end of IL piece of bamboo.
He bit it savagely aud 1t caught on
the end OF his long. recurved teeth. SO
that he could not get rid Of It, Then
saw most relnat kable exhibition of
brute force.
Under the stimulus of the chlor0form
that python broke green rattans three
quarters of an inch In diameter. and
that without apparent eXertion. There
was no thrashing about. 1t was all
quiet steady pulling. He soon broke
or twisted out Of every one Of his fast
enings except running moose around
his neck; and getting hold for his tail
around stump he pulled until 1t
seemed AS If his head would come of.
Eventually the ch!Oroform quleted
him somewhat. and | gave him more.
When he was still stabbed him to the
heart to prevent further difficulty. and
removed his skin. He measured TWEEN
two feet and six inches.
