Libeling Boa and Grizzly

Boa constructors and grizzly bears have long been thought of as creatures to be dreaded, but Enos A. Mills the Colorado naturalist, has a good word for the bear, and Dr. Frank Baldwin, recently re- turned from an exploring trip to the Philippines, speaks sympathetically of the snake. says the Youths Companion.
 Mr. Mills declares that the grizzly is the most maligned of animals. He minds his own business. except when he Is at- tackled, and lives on nuts, fruit, bark, grass, carrion. garbage and insects, and, as a rule. kills nothing larger than a mouse. MT. Mills says he is an excellent mouser, patient and thorough in his meth ods.
 Dr. Baldwin says of the boa constructor:
 "All my reading life Ithave regarded the boa constructor with horror and aver sion. When I got into the jungle, my great desire was to meet a large boa, in order that I might do him some very real harm. When I did find one my senti- ments were those of pity ror the snake. He was stretched across the path. and when the natives saw him they bounced upon him with yells of delight. On the other hand, he seemed dazed.
 With native for every yard of him, holding him firmly, lie journeyed on legs through the jungle and down to the beach. He wriggled feebly and hissed in hopeless manner. There they cut his head off with no more ceremony than they would have used if he had been a chicken, folded as much IS they could get of him into kind of camshell about 23 feet in diameter, and built fire. In an hour he was cooked. and in another hour this great snake. which had been pain fully accommodating feet and inches for years, had disappeared. must say that I felt little indignant!'
