SNAKES OF SARAWAk, s
The Pythons Are Enormous and Feed
on Pigs nnd ChiIIrcn.

Vie PythonB Are Enormous and Feed
on Pigs md Children.
In the Sarawak Gazette Is an article
on the snakes Of that part Of BOrneo
Of the poisonous reptiles it says: '"Thc
cobra (Naja tripudians) Is black
snake which raises It's head to strike
when irrltated, at the same time cx-
panding the hood Mt either eide Of the
neck. 1t spits at intrudcrs and hisscs
like cat, whence 1t is known as
"ular tcdong puss;" in some parts. too,
rs "tcdong nala hari.' The word "tc-
dong" IN SarNwal is apparently up-
piled to all large snakes which MalayJ
consider to be poisonous. and, as our
Malays are but Ill acquainted with
these animals, quite q number Of large
but harmless forms are designated by
this term. The hamadryad (Naja bun
garus 1s brown snake, considerably
bigger but rarer than the cobrn. It IS
rather shy, but when cornercd, like
the cobra, 1t raises It's head and ex-
pands the hood before striking. Its
food is chiefly other snakes.
LESS dangerous than these najas
are the vipcrs, Of which the most
common species Is the green viper,
which reaches length Of two feet or
more. The head is large and shaped
like an ace Of spades. This creature is
a tree snake and very sluggish. The
'bungarus' are Of several species, one,
Bungarus fasciatus, Of length up to
four feet, being black with yellow
rings. 1t is called the 'ular buku tcbu'
sugar cane joints by natives. There
are also sea snakes of many species.
The tail Of sea snake Is fattcned
and oarlike"
Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the
pythons there are two species. Py-
thon retlculatns grows to an cnor-
nous size, over twenty feet 1t IS
very fond of pigs, but varies It's diet
by various animals, Including even
children. The oil Of this snake Is used
by Malays as an embrocation for
bruises. The other species Of python,
Python curtus, Is interesting In that
Its flesh tastes like that of fowl-at
least, 80 Dyaks say, and they are au-
thorities on snake flesh, for they eat

 During her eighty-seven years of State life Alabama has passed through many trials and vleissitudes. and has had many experiences. For almost a score of years the Indians were giving trouble to the people and the Govern ment. The war with Mexico drew a fair share of Alabama's sons and the great war of 1ss1-65 almost crushed her life out, but from every trouble and Encouragement she has risen with renewed strength and unqaenched de- yotion.

ALABAMA,s NATAL DAY.

Probably few readers of The Adver- tiser have thought of 1t, but this is the anniversary of Alabama's birth, or rather of her official recognition, and her admission into the great sisterhood of states. The events preceding this important event were somewhat rapid. Previous to March l. 1917, our present State was part of the Mississippi Ter ritory, (which was created in 17sS), but on that day the Territory was di- vided and on March Alabama Terri tory was formed. ...
 The existence of the new Territory al such was very brief. lasting but iit- tie over two years. but the beginning of the end of territorial life was just two years. On March 2, 1919. Con- eress passed an act authorizing the people of Alabama to form a State Com stitutlon. That Convention met in Huntsville, July 5. 1919, and concluded it's Iabors August 2. Soon after Leg islature was elected, which met In Huntsville on October Z5, and adjourn ed December 19. Meanwhile, the joint resolution a0mltLlHB AldDaHla as a SIate was passed and approved by President Monroe, December If, 1s19, and on that day Alabama took her place in the Union as an equal of all the other States.
 That is a brief statement of the birth of the State, and 1t will be seen that events succeeded each other with un- usual rapidity. for Alabama became a Territory and then a state in less than three years. It is interesting at this time to note the names of some of the men who formed the first Constitutional Convention and the first State Legis- laturc Among them we find the names of Bibb. Fitzpatrick, Jackson, Toulmin, sanold. Herbert Watts. King, McVay, Moore, Chapman, Dsie,, Murphy, Pickens and doubtless others whose. names are not now recalled. They were the names of men who played honorable and promi- nent parts in shaping and directing the affairs of the State through the many events which have been crowded Into
