INA PYTHON'S COIL.

The attendants in geological gardens
are exposed to dangers OF various
sorts. The superintendent Of the Gin
cinnau animal park once had an ad-
venture with a python which came
near costing him his life.
1t became necessary to make some
changes in the snake house, and the
superintendent. Mr.. Stephens, was in
the cage Of pythons. anticipating 20
danger. when to his dismay he saw
the largest snake coming toward him,
kissing and darting its tongue angrily.
Instantly he realized his danger.
The superintendent quickly grasped
the huge reptile just back of the neck
with his right hand, and with the left
clutched the creature two feet lower
down, where the greatest muscular
power Of the python Is located.
He tried to thrust the writing
mass into waiting box, but the
python coiled its twelve feet of length
round the mans leg. and began to con-
strict, carrying Its tightening coils
higher and nigher.
Struggle as he might Mr. Stephens
seemed helpless in the serpent's grasp
His hands were so moist that the
scaly body twisted in them Perspira
ton streamed from his face. The
python had worked its head free and
was darting It's horrid tongue almost
| in It's victims face
The man threw up his hand instinc
lively to shield his face, and at the
same moment the snake seized and
began swallowing 1t.
BY this time the attendants had
rushed into the cage, and they began
beating the python. Not liking this
treatment, the big snake relaxed its
coils. Mr.. Stephens jerked his hand
free, and broke off one of the python's
fangs in his thumb in so doing.
"If had not held on to its heaviesf
muscle" said the superintendent, 81
have no doubt 1t might have stranglet
me. AS long as l kept my grip there
l felt confident, but was pretty veal
after the adventure"

prompt response.

BOB ]. BRENNAN FOR PRESIDENT
Montana Lawyer Yearns to Be Presi
dent of the United States.

dent of the United States
Robert J. Bremen, an attorney of Co.
lumbus, Mont, has decided that he
would like to wear the mantle of VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, and he believes
that with the support of the west he
could lead the democratic party to vic
tory in 1912. Though practically un-
known even in bordering states and
though new in politics, his friends say
that his candidacy is no idle dream. In
few days they will open western head
quarters at 313 Washington street, this
city.
Mr.. Bremen, it is said, is "west.
ern-southern man, true leader of the
democratic hosts in 1872 He was
born in Kentucky, the home of Lincoln.
He lived in Indiana, the home of
"Tom" Taggart. He enters the race
for president from the mountain state
of Montana.
Mr.. Bremen received his legal educa-
ton in indianapolis, Ind, and practiced
law there until 1908, when he started
west because of the i'll health of his
oldest son. Before coming to his pres
emit home he lived for a short time in

ExTERMINATE HOUSE
FLY AND SAVE CASH
Sanitary Expert Says Billions Will
Be Saved if Pest Is
Abolished.

Twenty billion dollars would be saved
by the United States if the house fly
were exterminated, according to DR..
Daniel D. Jackson, a sanitary expert
and representative of the New York
water pollution committee. DR.. Jack
son, in a statement to the New Jersey
Sanitary association, says:
"On the basis of our present knowl-
edge, I estimate that two years might
be added to the average span of each
human life in this country by the
elimination of the transmission of dis
ease by flies. This would mean a saw
ing of 170,OOo,OOO years of human life
and incidentally money saving of
about $4,000 900, oOO."

AMAZED AT STORIES
PEOPLE OF NAIROBI THINK
ROOSEVELTS JOKE Objects.
American Newspapers Tell Great Yarns
About the Hunters and Party-Names
of Animals Killed Are Imaginary and
Killing of Big Game Is Ordinary
Sport for Natives.

Correspondence to New York from
reading public here has found vast
amusement in press clippings from
America dealing with the game-killing
experiences of Colonel Roosevelt. While
recognizing the prowess of the former
president they are somewhat amazed
at the effect of his achievements upon
the minds of his countrymen, particu-
larly at the incredulity expressed in
some instances toward very ordinary
happenings and the trusting faith in
other cases with which some really
outrageous yarns are accepted.
They smile at Americans receiving
with skepticism the fact that Colonel
Roosevelt has been charged by hip
popotomi in Lake Naihava, killing a
few and escaping scot free, and yet
taking readily to stories of the bagging
of strange birds and mammals which
have hitherto triumphantly lodged
geological classification.
Lions Are Small Fry.
Not detracting from the glory of the
hunters East African residents do not
look with great deal of interest upon
the mere Staying of lions and such
small fry. Nor do they even use this
sort of thing as a topic of converse

esting phases.

quently seen about the streets that he
has practically assumed the position of
a municipal pet and has killed zebras
within the precincts of the township.
Last Sunday night Mr.. Cunning
hame, while walking in the suburbs,
heard lion grunting less than 100
yards away. Being armed only with a
stick he did not stop to investigate.
The principal medical officers here
and others have had similar expert
ences. One enterprising storekeeper has
year-old lioness in cage a YER

The inventive genius of the pseudo
scientists has risen to frenzied heights
in supplying the Smithsonian institution
with creatures never found on land OF
sea.
They have originated the kirkak-
dix, the exact nature of which is
yelled in some obscurity; the kirumbo
bird, which has a pair of floral plumes
and is glossy green above with metal
lie reflections, and the guyastuous
which is white, spotted plentifully
with green.
In addition there are two or three
fowls which Major Mearns, who is now
on a journey to the glaciers of Kenia
has not yet rounded up, the pambafu
bird, the wood duffin, otherwise
known as the Salkeldopiensis Afri
canus, whose habitat is the forest about
the old fort of Kismayu, and the Bar
tickiensis Africanus, peculiar to one
part of the country and never seer
away from its home.
