THE MAN AND THE SNAKE.

There is an old story Of a man who
had a pet snake. Hc began to pet it
when ii was tiny, helpless, harmless
thing. He was not afraid Of it, and
enjoyed playing with it. AS it grew
larger he exhibited it to interested
audiences He let it wrap itself
around him and then quietly uncoil
and fall harmlessly to the ground.
One day, before a great crowd Of
spectators, he called the snake and
let it coil its Shiny length around his
motionless body till its head was as
high as his. The audience were as
tonishcd and enjoyed this strange
sight. At length they heard slight
scream which they supposed was part
Of the performance. But in a few
minutes they realized that the huge
snake was crushing the man to
death. So does the harmless drink

antiquarian relics of the rarest and
most interesting character.
The entrance to large cave, as our
readers are doubtless aware, is plainly
visible from the ferry landing, as well
as other portions of the city bordering
on the river bank, and although some
10 feet in diameter at the entrance, it
gradually. diminishes in size until some

difficulty that a person can effect an
entrance by crawling through an aper-
ture, but when once fairly through.
there is no difficulty in standing erect.
Until the recent interesting discov-
cries were made by party of enter
prising explorers representing an east
ern scientific society, and who are now
sojourning in our city, this cave had
never been known to have been over
1z5 feet in depth, and had possessed
nothing more than ordinary interest,
except as having been thought by the
stern old Sac warrior, Black Hawk, to

STORY THAT AROUSED SCIENTIFIC WORLD
Imaginary Discoveries Written by Late w. H. Ronstn 1869


The death of the late W. H. Rossing-
ten. formerly reporter on the staff
of The Argus, and subsequently one of
the chief officers of the Santa Fe road
and an attorney of prominence at To-
peka, recalled the fact that Mr.. Ros-
sington, in his work on The Argus,
was the author of one STORY" that at
tracted worldwide attention. While a
work of pure fiction, it had such ring
of truth that people who were not ia
miliar with the facts became greatly
interested. Phil Mitchell recalled read
ing the reprint of the story in a Lon
don paper, the Times, he thinks; while
he was at Dresden, Saxony
Published in 1869.
This article was published Jan. 6,
1869, and dealt with imaginary discov-
cries in the cave at the foot of the
arsenal island. This cave is now clos
ed by the abutment of the bridge.
Speaking of the cave this morning, Mr.
Mitchell said: "The mouth of the old
cave at the foot of Rock island was
quite large, probably 10 by 20 feet 1t
