looking out of it. We gave it plenty of room.
The snake crawled slowly would hardly
move as we watched it come towards us.
1t was loathsome reptile. rs back was
black, It's head Fat, with protyudiug eyes.
We soon despatched it, ana l suggested
feet, SO he turned it over on its back. There
were no feet in sight, but something startling
on the upper part of the body. 1t was not
scales but il looked like transparent shells.
They were not all one color. Some were
glistening pearly whiteness and some
looked like pink rose leaves. They re all
mixed up, zig gag. never saw anything
like it before or since They did not lie down
fiat, but stood ON edge. To satisfy my
curiosity, he cut piece of the shells, bat
there were 10 feet. So | have come TO the
conclusion that they have no feet, at least in
this part OF the country. II - SADIE.
Perhaps, Sadie, they lost their feet in the
garden of Eden. Now you will be glad to
read the following message from our head
editor. He writes me:

that snakes are beautiful ar they will
look for their beauties instead of running
a way from them), that they are useful.

This is not rs result of the armi-

end to wars forever, or because of the
fact that with modern artillery the
Notifications would be useless. The
matter has already been brought mp
before the council. 1t dates back
to 1884. The plan, however, would
have to be referred to parliament by
the municipal council after its adop-
ton.
Louis Dausset, an alderman of the
city of Paris, is sponsor for the prof.
ect. He argues that the benefits to be
derived are a closer easier contact
with the Paris suburbs. elimination of
the necessity of entering or leaving
Paris through the various gates, and
the freeing of valuable land for build
