Truth is stranger tl a 1 fiction. Sonvj years ago one of Sherlock Holmes'tj detective stories told how v, certiin doctor had mur dtrecl people standing in his way by training a snake to go down a boll rops over the vietiin'a bed. The Dacca Prakask, of August 30 last, speaking of fr. quent murders in the Baokergunge district of hast Bengal says :— ** Another diabolical instrument made use of j ia a piece of hollow bamboo containing a venomous serpent. One end of this instru ment ia placed ou the bed of the intended victim, and the enclosed serpent is then worried into biting him. A case of murder effected in this fashion was tried in the Patuakhall subdivision." The fact in this instance is more diabolical than the fiction— tad it often is.-— Westminster Gazette.
