No developments have come to light up
to late hour today in the case of the
aphasia victim who has been attracting
the attention of medical men of WASH
ington in the Washington Asylum Hospi-
tai. All efforts to bring to him some in
dication of past events in his life or
word of who he is or where he came
from have apparently failed, although his
medical attendants, if anything, are re-
doubling their efforts in the mans behalf
An inquiry at the hospital today brought
the statement that the patient has re-
manned in the same condition since his
admittance.
1--WE are doing our utmost to identify
him or bring a word or action from him
which might lead to his Identification"
said one of the hospital attendants. but
so far our efforts have been fruitless."
May Have Been a Soldier.
In his conversation, 1t is said. he has told
nothing new and repeats only about what
he has before told his attendants.
1t is possible the patient might have
been at one time a soldier. and with this
in view the local authorities have taken
his finger prints and will compare them
with prints in enlistment records.
1t is declared that the taking of the
finger prints seemed a vain hope, but
nothing would be left undone to make
identification possible

HOW MoNaoosE KILLS COBRA
Description Of Contest in Which the
Little Animal Came Off Victor.

From the Times of Ceyon.
l had the good fortune this evening to
witness fight between a four-foot cobra
di capello and a mongoose.
On first catching sight of the cobra
rikki Tx Gas Rudyard Kipling calls the
Indian mongoose) quietly smelt his tail
and then hung around awaiting events
with curiosity, but he had not long to
wait. for the cobra spread its hood, Missed
out it's death sentence and prepared to
dart from it's coil at it's natural and hated
enemy.
Now commenced most interesting and
deadly battle-of feint and counter-feint
by the mongoose, and strike and light
ninglike recovery by his adversary. which
was also on the defensive, all the time
watching for the opportunity to get in it's
properly aimed bite.
Time after time rikki tik squirmed slow
~ up to within reach of those terrible
fangs-belly on ground-with every gray
hair of his body erect with anger and ex-
element, his eyes glazing from his head,
which, by the way, he invariably held
sideways during this approach and at
tack; but the moment the cobra struck in
a flash. back sprang master mongoose. and
although often 1t appeared as II impos-
sib,e that he could have escaped the
dreaded fangs. ne'er "a scratch harmed
him, and there he would be again wearing
inch by inch At last with a growl and
sharp rikky cry the plucky little beast
flew in. avoided the strike and seized the
snake behind the head, never for mo-
ment getting under it's mouth, but right
at the nape of the neck and head. which
he scrunched with loud cracking sound
despite the struggles and twisting and
turning Of the cobra. Again and again
rikki returned to the now writhing rep
tile and bit its head and body until 1t
lay dying.
Finally he ate three or four inches Of his
mortal foe, but carefully avoided eating
the fangs and poison glands, which 1
picked up by stick and found them
broken. but with the venom sacks at
tached.
Contrary to popular belief. I am of
opinion the mongoose is not immune from
snake poison, else why should he so par
ticularly and carefully avoid being bitten?
1t is only by his marvellous activity that
he escapes the spring and darling strike
of his deadly enemy. the cobra di capello.
