A Jungle Fight.
From Harper's Weekly.

1t Is not given to many to witness
such a combat as one seen by an
American and a party of natives whom
h former accompanied on q hunting
expedition In southern India. The ma
ttves had set some traps and nets.
and were making the round of them
when a succession Of hideous noises
was heard.

they found a big jungle Dear fighting
for his life with a huge serpent. The
snake had wrapped the bear in it's
terrible folds, and was crushing it to
death. The bear was struggling as best
he might. darting from side to side,
roaring and swapping his jaws at the
s%erpent's folds.
These folds the bear was unable to
reach with his teeth, owing to the
way in which he had been enwrapped.
He struggled along the ground until he
reached q steep slope, and down this
he threw himself violently.
Evidently this frightened the serpent.
for 1t unwound q couple of folds from
the bear, and threw Its tail around q
tree. This was h bears opportunity.
No sooner had the snake thus partially
Strengthened out, giving q rigid line
from the tree to the bears body, than
the bear turned and fastened his laws
In the snakes body.
The hissing was then appalling. The
snake quickly unfolded It's body, and
savagely struck at the Jaws Of the bear
to make him loosen his hold. But the
bear. with q muffled roar, continued,
to bite and worry his antagonists

Dentists use in filling teeth pure gold.
But in bridgework and gold teeth they
use coin cold, which is a little less than
% karat: straight 70 karat is still bet
ter. Some mouths will stand 20 karat
gold. but such gold blackens and dis
colors badly another mouth, so dentists
make it a rule to use coin gold. Dur
coin gold is nine parts pure gold and
one part copper by weight. So it is
not so surprising that IL mt IA karat
gold should cause a discoloration Of the
