A Kentucky Curiosity.

Near Diamond Springs. KY, in a
large beech forest. is tree that is
known throughout the neighborhood
as the "jug handle," from the peculiar
growth Of the first limb. This unusual
formation, which is properly known as
a natural graft is six or eight inches
in diameter, six feet in length and
about eighteen feet up the trunk of
the tree, which is itself fourteen or
fifteen inches in diameter
AS the graft is practically the same
in size at both extremities. it is likely
that the upper end is the original point
of growth. The extremity of the limb,
dropping against an accidental break
in the bark of the trunk. received
nourishment from this new source, and
probably grew more rapidly.
The only way to ascertain which is
really the original point of union will
be to saw out section at each end
and count the number of rings that
indicate the exact age.

Feeding a rwenty-slx Foot Python.

Some time ago the New York Zoo
logical Society secured a twenty-six
foot python. 1t refused to eat anything
and as there seemed to be no inclina-
ton on the part of the snake to save
itself from starvation the authorities
decided that extreme measures must be
taken. The food, which consisted of
two rabbits and four guinea pigs, was
prepared. The animals were fastened
to the end of long pole. The snake
was firmly grasped by twelve men and
brought out in the center of the reptile
house. Its mouth was opened and the
food was pushed into it by the aid of
the pole. The snake made violent eff
forts to break away and it was only
by the combined efforts of the men
that he was held quiet enough to allow
the astronomical operation to be per-
formed.
