 New York, Sept 22.-Dispatches from the scene, in the Adirondacks, of the murder Of Orrando F.

lowed this practice for some years,
and Walker had many narrowing ed
ventures during the time. He was

before court at Key West. He was
convicted of slave stealing, and the
judge sentenced him to pay fine Of
$4,000, suffer seven years in prison,
stand in the pillory for one hour and
to have the letters S. S. burned on

Walker paid the fine, stood in the

$50 Il Snake.

Great reptiles, such as pythons and
boa constructors. have no Intelligence
whatever. When one gets loose In a
menagerie or on an animal transport
ship, the animal man grips his neck
with both hands in a peculiar fashion,
puts his foot on him a little lower
down, and has him under perfect con-
troll. But the grip has to be just the
right kind of a grip, or the keepers
arm will he twisted off in the wink
Of an eye. There is an employee Of an
animal firm in New York whose spe-
cialty is snakes and who Is frequently
called upon to go down into the holds
Of vessels arriving In port to recapture
snakes which have broken loose. His
fee Is $50, and he has never yet failed
to get the snake back to his box
when | locate them" he said, 81
let them strike at me, then step aside,
catch their neck in a grip, and it is
all over" There are two great dan
gers in handling pythons in this way,
either that they should coil around
your body or strike you with their
bony head In either case 1t Is death,
sure and quick. Cobras are not brought
here very often. No one touches those
hooded terrors They are handled with
tongs. "-Lcslies Popular Monthly.

Another White space on Congo Map
Being FiIlei with Detail.
More than twenty years ago SAVIOR
gnan de BraZZa carried a little steam
launch overland between the head
waters of the large Ogowe river and
the upper part of Il river on the other
side of the divide, a few miles away.
The natives called this stream the ALI
ma, and De Bra@Za believed ii was Il
tributary to the Congo and that he
might steam down the Alma to the
upper Congo far above Stanley pool.
His experiment was Il great success.
He descended the Alma about 400
miles and finally entered the Congo
where the great river is several miles
in width. Then he tloated down that
river to Stanley pool. says the New
York Sun.
Meanwhile, Stanley had been labor
iously ascending the Congo, dragging
his supplies around go miles Of
rapids: and when he reached Stanley
pool he was much surprised to find
the French flag floating on It's north
ern bank. De Brazza had arrived be-
fore him and was founding the station
Of Brazzaville. Ever since that day
large white space has existed on
the map between the Alma and the
Congo. Explorers were too busy else
where to trace the rivers In the region.

the largest tributary of the Alma, has
