owner on the other side of the island. He went in boat, and while the coolies were bringing up his traps went up to the bungalow. He was sitting in a big chair on the yeranda, talking to Saw age, when he felt something drop from the leaf roof onto his shoulder. Leis- urely he started to rise to see what had fallen, when the other man cried
 out: For Gods sake, don't move keep perfectly still" Dunlop knew what that meant. Stealthily the old man took a Burmese dah (sword)
 from the walbt1nd, cat-like, crept to- ward Sne white man with the thing Ion his shoulder. Within striking dis tance, he paused. and raised the dah high in the air to cut the thing in two with one swift, downward stroke. Then his nerve, rattled and tugged at for 50 years until it was weak, failed him, and the sword clattered from his numbed fingers to the floor. My

broken voice, and reeled back against the wall, where he stood staring with weak eyes at the sahib and his burden.
 Dunlop neither moved nor spoke; his only safety lay in keeping perfectly still-motionless. It. might be min- utes, or a thousand years; they would have to wait till the boatmen came. What would happen then he could not say. He could feel the clinging, pull. ing thing on his right shoulder. There was an undulating pressure that told him the head of the snake was sway ing back and forth just above his neck. Then the song of the Madrassi boat men as they came swinging along with his luggage broke upon his ear. Those gin-thickened voices, enrolling the coarse refrain to the time of the meas ured trot, were angel voices. What would the muddle- -brained coolie do, he wondered. If Emir Ally, his trusted servant, saw the thing, it might be well; he had nerve and judgment, even close to that of sahib. Emir Ally was in the lead When he came to the steps Savage jerked out an expression that called his attention to the tab leau. Gathering his loongy tight about his loins, he slipped along the veranda like shadow, grasped the fallen deh, and poising his black, 1.-the body for a swift, strong stroke, brought the sword through the air with a swing ing cut that laid full-grown cobra in two neat pieces almost at the feet of the man who had waited.

SNAKES ARE BOLD.

Terrible Situation of a Traveller i'm 4he Borongos How the Deadly Cobra on Mir. Dunlop's ShOuI-

The Borongo islands lie about hall way between Calcutta and Rangoon. When the snakes die they go to the Borongos. That is their paradise; there they hold high carnival. spent three years among them, and know of these things, writes D. A. Fraser ln the Canadian Magazine. From the giant python down to the deadly karait they are all there, all the ophidians. Even the salt water snakes, that are all poisonous-they, too, are there. Two Europeans had preceded me on the Borongos, so there was considerable natural history on tap when arrived, and we rapidly acquired more. One can't live among snakes without study. ing them; they insist upon it.
 Each evening I killed an hour or so of the monotony by walking up and down the path in front of the bunga- low. A big cat was my usual com panion. His method of introducing himself to my notice was generally abrupt He would lie in wait, and, as came along, spring out upon me, ahghting against one of my legs. At other times he would lie on his back in the path and claw at my feet as I passed. One evening, just after turn ing into the path from the bungalow, I felt something soft and yielding against my foot. Thinking it was Billy" gave the mass gentle push. As I shifted the something I saw a twisting gleam of white, not at all like the soft gray of Billy's fur. Of course, I knew what that meant. Jumping back I brought my walking stick down on the twisting thing, and yelled for a light The servants came running from the cookhouse with a lantern, and I saw that I had laid out nost viuainous daboia. One touch from the catlilke fangs on my cotton hosed instep, and within an hour I would have been dead.

Sixty Killed nnd Half of Spanish
 Village I'm Ruins.

Village In Ruins.
 BARCELONA, Jan. 20.-The explo- sion last Saturday of the boiler of q spinning mill near Manresa destroyed salf of the village of Puente de Vilu- mara. Tie hospital at Manresa is fill- ed with the injured. Sixteen mutilat- cd bodies of working people who were buried iR the debris have been recov- cred. These include the manager of the spinning mill and his two sisters. Of the persons injured thirty are not expected to recover. The dead includ ed many children. The queen regent has wired her condolences.
 The boiler exploded in the evening, when the mill hands, many of whom were accompanied by their wives and children, were eating supper before commencing their nights work. The buildings of the mill collapsed entire ly. and their debris was hurled in all directions, destroying other buildings and killing and injuring the people in the vicinity. Owing to the darkness the work of extricating the victims proceeded with great difficulty. Ter r1ble scenes were witnessed and dur ing the work of rescue tbexe were heard the hAcrtrending groans and shriekG of the victims, whose torn and n'Itilated limbs were pinned down by the ruins
 A long line of carts and carriages was engaged in conveying the injured to the Manresa hospital, five miles dis tant.
 Sunday morning found the inhab- itants of Puente de vilumara rowing among the ruins seeking the remains of friends and relatives, while the priests administered the last rites of the church to the dying in the open air
 It is now estimated that sixty per- sons were killed and 100 injured.

Excellent Company of Artists Booked
 for Friday at Po1i's.
 On the afternoon and evening of January 24 musical and comedy en- tertainment will be given at Polls and for this a number of artists of wide reputation have been secured to make up the program which should be suf- ficiently attractive as to appeal to the public. Perhaps the most prominent of the artists engaged is the well known American prima donna Attalie Claire, who has many successes to her credit, both in the grand and comic opera field. Miss Claire studied in Berlin and Paris for grand opera and she appeared both in this country and London i'll that eXacting field, but for a number of seasons she has been de- voting her talents as colorature so- prano of splendid ability to comic op- era and opera comique.
 She is the possessor of a vocal organ of marvellous power and sweetness, while the volume and range are truly out of the ordinary. She is, besides, an unusually attractive woman.
 The list of artists also includes the European violinist. Blanca Lyons, who will make her first appearance in this vicinity on this occasion and whI1las been creating a veritable seDsation elsewhere. Eminent critics predict a great future for this gifted woman in field which is at present very limit ed Miss Lyons plays on magnif- cent old instrument of priceless value and she extracts from it the grandest of music.
 Others to appear are the bewitching instrumentalist, Florence Bindlay, the Royal Japanese troupe, Julia Kingsley and company, Emerson and Omega.

COMPANY AS CIRCUS.

It is a we'll known fact that any en- fertainment, to be in any way success ful. must depend, to a great extenr, upon the personnel of the committee in charge. The success that, in all proba- bility, will attend the notable produc- ton under the auspices of Company A, Second regiment. c. N G., at the Jacques auditorium next week. will he due to the efforts of the energetic com mittee consisting of Lieutenant Waite: W. Sackett, Mark H. Reilly. Frederick w. Haase, Frederick E. Cleland and Leonard Asheim.
 This is the committee that has worked along lines planned by A. A. Duchemin, the clever New Yorker, who is to su- pervise the, circus performances. All of the members of the circus commit tee are we'll known and to their per- sonal efforts is due much of the en- 1husiams now manifest among the members of the military body to which they belong.
 If the show is not a stupendous sue cess it will be no fault of theirs. MT Duchemin says the committee has given him aid of most practical na- ture and that the suggestions offered him have been especially valuable. He sees nothing but success ahead for the show
 Of 300 tickets sent out to as many representative Waterbury people about 70 per cent have been retained This insures a gathering of Water bury's best people.

NEW PNEUMATIC GUN.

 Ever Constructed.

A successful dynamite gun has fnal- ly been constructed, according to re- ports from Hilton Head, s. C., where the tests were held in the presence of government inspectors and officers of the Pneumatic Torpedo and Construc- tion company, in whose shops the gun was made.
 The government specifcat tions called for an engine which could hurl pro-

 Jectile containing 500 pounds of nitro glycerin or other high explosive dis tance of 5000 yards. The Hilton Head gun threw 800 pounds of nitroglycerin 5000 yards. MI.
 The difficulty operating against the successful construction of dynamite guns hitherto has been the inability accurately to fix in advance the place of concussion. The shell was apt to go off in the gun unless extreme care was taken to7guard against chance ex- plosion. On the other hand, if too many precautions were taken to in- sure it against chance shock it was apt to fail to oexplode on impact.
 The new pneumatic gun is 50 feet in length, of Is inches bore, and it weighs 50 tons. The projectile is 10 feet long. Five shots of the largest size were fired in 20 minutes.
