A Clash With caaed Pythons.

Carl Hagenbeck thus described an
adventure with Gagged pythons: my

them very nearly succeeded in coiling
itself round him. but he defended him.

thrown sack over his head we had to
secure further assistance to unloosen
his tail No sooner had we with great
effort got it loose than the monster

Literary Ghosts"

According to writer in La Revue
Of Paris. the rank and file of novelists
in France draw on an average 500 for
each book. and many Of them are
thankful to get half that amount. On
the other hand. those at the top of the
tree earn large incomes. and some of
them undertake more commissions
than they can fulfill. Recourse is
then had to literary ghosts" of whom
there are plenty in Paris, willing to
furnish a passable imitation of any
writer's work. Popular novelists do
not always take the trouble to read
the books published under their
names. Some years ago a ''ghost"
with grievance against his employer
interpolated in the book ordered from
him two chapters of Mime. Bovary,"
altering nothing but the names of the
characters The woman who signed
the book in order to clear herself from
the charge of plagiarism had to con-
fess that she had farmed it out.
