MOROs OF MINDANAO
4 man who has been IN the Far East tells this
story of catching snakes. Says he: The natives
OF one OF colonies. the Moros Of Mindanao,
have curious but effective way of capturing the
huge pythons that infest the jungles and morasses
OF their country. Almost all the larger houses
there have stone walls built about them TO prevent
Wild animals from entering the yards 10 prey on
The fowls or live stock belonging to the family.
These same walls are also made to serve the pur-
pose of serpent traps. \ hole about fifteen inches
in diameter is cut through the rough masonry
near the ground. Shortly after dark the natives
tie sucking pigs 20 stakes each side Of the wall
not far from the hole Then they go inside the
house. smoke their pipes and patiently wait for
something to turn up. Nor they often disap-
pinted. The occasional cries and more especially
the odor of the pigs attract python from the
nearby swamps. Cautiously he crawls up the
wall until he reaches the first pig outside the hole
In twinkling he has thrown his jaws about the
pig. and. struggng. the poor animal giides down
the snakes body alive and whole. The serpent
feels good. although the pig was large meal
for him. SO when he hears and smells another
such meal on the other side OF the renee ne
naturally shoves his head through the hole to in
vestisate. There is another scream and the second
little pig Is on Its way down the snakes throat.
Now comes the critical moment The natives
the python's eyes, blind him long enough to slip
small leather strap over his head. The python
struggles hopelesSly. for each pig he has swal-
lowed is like a knot I'm his body that prevents him
natives have him securely bound by stout
ropes 10 stakes in the ground Then they remove
last pig he has swallowed. The other is out

led him TO his misfortuneS."

the protocol into effect9 Who knows who will
be in power down there when we want to ratify
the treaty2 | consider the whole discussion a
feature of the policy of delay that has been in
force all these years
Members of the Scranton Engineers
club, before whom Professor Haupt, of
the canal commission, lectured three
years ago will remember what lie said
about the improbabilty of an early
realization of an isthmian canal. He
intimated very plainly that nothing
short of vigorous determination on the
part of an aroused public opinion
would suffice to enforce results at
Washington. This will surely come if
there is much more jockeying ON the
part of the congressional powers that
be.
