Police Precautions at Budapest When
 King and Queen of Spain Arrive,

Budapest, Oct 2.-Unusual mili. fary and police arrangements to pro- tect King Alfonso and Queen Victoria who arrived here yesterday to visit Emperor Francis Joseph, occasioned rumors of the discovery of new plot to assassinate them. It seems that several doubtful characters sup posed to be anarchists were arrested on the eve of the king and queen s arrival, and they will be held in GUS tody until the royal couple depart.
 The route from the railway station to the Hofburg was lined with dou- ble ranks of soldiers, one rank fac ing the route and the other facing the spectators, while between the latter and the troops there was line of police facing the crowd, which was very large. Nothing occurred to mar the welcome accorded the royal party

An Angry Elephant.

A sentinel in the menagerie at Paris has had a curious experience with one of the largest elephants. The sentinel was very conscientious and always re- Quested the spectators not to give the animals anything to eat which seemed to displease the elephant in question to such an extent that he several times sprinkled the sentry's head with water from his trunk. One day bystander offered this particular elephant large cake. The sentinel interfered. as usual, and the elephant promptly dis charged in his face a violent stream of water. A general laugh ensued, but the sentinel, having calmly wiped his face, stood on one side and continued as watchful as before. Soon after ward he found 1t necessary to repeat his admonition, but no sooner was this uttered than the elephant laid hold of his musket, twirled 1t round his trunk, trod 1t under his feet and did not re- store 1t until he had twisted 1t into nearly the form of a corkscrew. Then he gave a snort at the discomfited sentinel, as if to say, Now I hope you'll mihd your own business"

The Python.

Contrary to general belief. the py- thon or boa constructor rarely attacks people and is looked upon very differ- ently by the people from the hama dryad and cobra. The python will take up his abode in a neighborhood and will not disturb anything except the henroosts. These he disturbs very much, as be has great fondness for chickens; also for stray dog or small goat. I know of one case, how ever. In floating house where a py- thon attacked a woman and, contrary to the preconceived idea, did not crush her in his folds, but attempted to swallow her. commencing with one of her feet. When she was rescued her foot and ankle were badly lacerated by the snakes teeth. The Chinese kill the python to make medicine from the liver. which has high repute among them. They also use the dried skin for medicine. Any Chinese drug shop in Siam will have a number of python skins for Medical Journal.

A REAPER RACE.
The Feat That Made William N,
 Whiteley Eamous.

In the early days of the exploitation of various reaping machines field demonstration, usually competitive. was necessary occurrence. II. N. Casson in "The Romance of the Reap CT" tells the following story of William N. Whiteley. "the Charlemagne of the harvest field:"
 He was as tall as a sapling and as strong as tree. As professor in the great school of agriculture he has new CT been surpassed. He could outtalk. outwork and generally outwit the men who were sent against him. He was q whole exhibition in himself.
 I've seen Pill Whiteley racing his horses through the grain and leaning over with his long arms to pick the mice's nests from just in front of the knife," said an old Ohio settler.
 The feat that first made Whiteley fa- nous was performed at Jamestown, O., in 1867. His competitor was doing as good work as he was, whereupon he sprang from his seat, unhitched one horse and finished his course with a single surprised steed pulling the heavy machine.
 His competitor followed suit and sue. ceeded fully as well.
 This enraged Whiteley, who at that time was as powerful as a young Her cules.
 q can pull that reaper myselfv' he shouted, turning his second horse loose and yoking his big shoulders into the harness.
 Such thing had never been done be- fore and has never been done since, but 1t is true that in the passion of the moment Whiteley was filled with such strength that he ran the reaper from one side of the field to the other, cut. ting full swath, deed that, had he done 1t in ancient Greece, would have placed him among the immortals.
 That ten minutes in horse collar made $2,0O0,000 for Whiteley. His an- tagonist, Benjamin H. Warder, was filled with admiration for Whiteley's prowess and at once proposed that they should quit fighting and work in har- mony.
 Give me the right to make your reaper, and I'll pay you S5 apiece for all can sell," said Warder.
 Its bargain" responded Whiteley. And so there arose the first consolida- ton in the harvester business.
