 "Cleopatra was rescued. Just as her back teeth were about to pass in through the front of her mouth, Mime.

A second later and Cleopatra would have swallowed herself entirely.

 But you can figure it out for your self easy enough. The problems sim ply this: If d twelve foot snake takes its tail in its teeth, and eats its way round to the back of it's neck, how many times will the tip of it's tail pass any given tooth? But all that, of course, is mere cctai.''-N. r. Sun.

JUST SWALLOWED THEMSELVES.
Two Auto-CannibaI SerPents Who
 Couldn't Tell Their Own Tails.

We are all here, l believer"
 The conscientious press. agent glanced inquiringly at the group of re- porters.
 Then we may as well begin. Before am through, gentlemen, you will see that the urgency of my request for rep resentation Of the press was by no means unwarranted. Even a press agent has some conscience, and in this case, gentlemen, l feel that my duty to the public outweighs my duty 10 my employers.
 While it is true that the public an- nouncement or the death of Sinbad, the most vicious, violent and vene- nous reptile in the collection of Mime. Medusa, the soporiferous scother of sinuous serpents, will undoubtedly keep thousands away from her daily eXhi bitions in the side show of the Ring Brothers Circus, yet-yet, gentlemen, in view of the remarkable manner in which this writhing reptile met its death it would seem unjust to poster ity to withhold the details attending this-''
 Snake dead, eh?" interrupted an impatient reporter. How'd happen?"
 Twas a case of jealousy" explain ed the press agent. For years Sinbad, or the Only Original Sin, as he was better known on account of his vicious temper, reigned in unchallenged su- premacy over all of Mime. Medusas snake chests.
 "All went we'll until the advent of Cleopatra, the most regal reptile of all wriggling India, two days ago. There WIS had blood between her and the Orly Original right from the start, but Mime. Medusa hoped in time to recon cile the two to life of harmonious happiness.
 With this end in view Mime. Medusa placed the two on the floor of her tent early this morning. For a time every thing was lovely. Then without any warning the Only Original thrust out his fang and whispered
 'H-h-h-hhh.' which is an awful thing for one snake to call another.
 'H-h-h-hhh yerself!' snapped back Cleo.
 "At the same instant two black streaks flashed through the air, and a moment later a sinuous snarl of sissing serpents was seething round the floor.
 "Clop, Clop! Their jaws snapped al most simultaneously at what, in the general tangle, each mistook for the tip of it's rival tail.
 Mime. Medusa stepped forward to separate the struggling serpents, but suddenly sprang hack, terror stricken by the strange sight she saw.
 "Tn the mix-up of the occasion each snake had mistaken it's own tail for that of it's rival and was consequently viciously devouring itself.
 Around and around coil within coil, each internally looped it's loop.
 "A sudden click brought Mime. Me tlusa to her senses. She rushed toward the fast disappearing reptiles, but, alas, too late!

BRICKS AND DoBIEs
A Question to be Settled Shortly in
 District Court.

The case Of the territory against Thomas Armstrong, the chief draughts- man in the office of the surveyor gener- al, was submitted in the district court yesterday on a statement of facts and was argued Mr>tA mstrong's case ha l Its origin n the police court in which he was tried for violating city ordin- ance 322, known as the building ordin- anee.
 He hac applied for a permit to erect brick building on lot 3, block g. Neahr's addition. The building was to be small one and did not attract the attention of the authorities until after It was done. IL was then found to be an adobe building. NJ. Armstrong's arrest followed and he was convicted m the recorders court and finei S5 He appealed to the district court The defendant is represented by Thom s ID, Bennett. Mr. Bennett and City At torney Prescott came together on a statement of facts, though there was at first one thing concerning which they could not agree, and that was the designation of the adobe Mir Bcn- nett, who had probably prepared the draft of the statement, described it as unburnt, sundried brick" of clay. Mir. Prescott objected to the use of the word brick" and the word "square" was substituted for it.
 The position of the attorney for the defense Is supported by all the diction- aries. Some of them simply speak of adobe as sun dried brick. Others u-e both expressions, sundried and unburst. but all the dictionaries agree that an acobe is some kind of brick
 Even if the city should finally be compelled to take the same view of 1t. It will be contended that the adobe is not the kind of a brick the framers of the ordinance had in mind and was cer- tainly not the kind the building inspec- ter had in mind when he grantel the permit

that owing to the cold weather that
