PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-Grim
evidence of jungle-like drama in the

they found large python crushed to
death by another python apparently IN

The trick glass about the enclosure

one 20 feet long and the other ID, had
engaged in a titanic struggle.
The 18-foot snake lay dead IN one
corner, while in another corner, placidly
coiled was the victor, q huge bulge IN

meal the python had eaten in IL

The two snakes had lived in 1ethargic
harmony in the same cage for four
years. Keepers noticed on the part Of
the smaller python the activity which
denotes hunger. A pig was placed in
the cage, the smaller snake wrapped
its coils about the meal, and the keeper
left.
He returned to the cage to find the

THE ROMANCE Ot MINERAL
 DISCOVERY

Nothing is more u'orrstinE tl mining men than the events which lead To the discovery of a rich mineral deposit One Df the most spectacular diseoyerirs nf recent years was the uneoyorinE of the rich pitchblende trad um orel de- posits in the wilderness of Great Bear Lake in northern Canada. This discovery was of importance tO the entire world for there was not enough radium available for hospital demands and now medical men are assured an ample radium supply which can be prohtably mar keted at price which will be low enough to encourage wider medical use of this mystical chemical element This is SO i'm portant and the problem so broad that at the last meeting of the Canadian senate a bill was intro duced to give the Canadian govern ment control over the marketing of radium ore produced in Canada.
 An account of the events leading up to the discovery of the pitch blende deposits of Great Bear Lake is interestingly recorded in the April, 1882, issue of the Elk's Magazine. This article should be read by every prospector in AL aska. Since most of the prospectors will not have this opportunity, the following highlights will be set down here:
 The outcrops of the pitchblende veins on the shore of Great Bear Lake were exposed to the sunlight. It was only the remoteness of the area and possibly the strangeness of the mineral, that prevented an earlier discovery. The country is d prospector's paradise in that the formations are fully exposed and only a small percentage of the

Big Ben's Unsteady Hand.

London's Big Ben is regarded by
Londoners as beyond reproach but as
matter of fact Big Ben goes wrong
twice each hour. The error, however,
is not great enough to cause any In
convenience to any one. When the big
minute hand gets to about 10 minutes
past the hour the strain on the spindle
to which it is attached begins to be
tremendous This hand is 10 feet long
and no featherweight. The result is
that it races" between 10 past and 20
past each hour and reaches the figure
w five seconds too early. Then comes
the upward journey after the vi is
passed. From 20 minutes until 10 of
the hour the strain tells again and the
hand reaches the X five seconds late.
Luckily the five seconds gained during
the downward half Is just balanced.

state industries amounted to 1885,
100000 rubles ($1,2300o0,00O) which
was somewhat less than the average
