Private soldiers bear out this state

GIGANTIC REPTILE IN ?
CONTROL OP A STEAMERj
_
VICTORIA. R. C.. Aug., Pi— For a |
brief period following her .departure I
lbom Singapore the bridge* of the
IJiiti."h Steamship Holton Castle was
temporarily b*it e*ompletely under the !
•ontrol of a gigantic python.
In the early hours of the morning
>n the second day out from the I
Straits Settlements ports, Quarter
master West was at the wheel, watch
ing his course when he was startled |
b\ a massive head appearing through
th<‘ pilot house door.
The python calmly took possession
of the pilot house and th" ship took j
a few round turns without a guiding ‘
hand before the unwelcome king o! '
th * snake species made its exit and
allowed the officers' to again take
control of the vessel.
The last the officers of the Dolton
saw of the visitor was the trail ol
he python, which measured thirty
feet in length, as it disappeared over
board. The trunk of the snake ex-!
tended from the bridge to the water
1
line. The python was one of thro* ;
d ipped aboard the Dolton t astlc
it Singapore and consigned to a
m ‘lingerie operator at Now \ork.
The unmanageable follow was thirt; 1
1
foot in length, the second 22 ane
the third K5 feet.
On leaving each of tho pythons I
was fed a suckling pig and the Fai :
Eactorn agents informed ('apt. Ho\v<
that the big fellow would sleep un
til the ship reached the Panama zone.
Apparently the young pig was in
efficient nourishment for the large
pvthon for he was aroused from his
lethargy and developed a restless
mood. The cage was afterward
found to be smashed, proving the .tre
mendous strength of the huge reptile.

WHEN FLIMSY GOWNS
IGNITE FROM GAS JET
TOPEKA, Kan., Aug., 1H— Fuzzy
gowns and a gas flame almost brought
dostn.ction in n girl’s rooming house
here.
M’ss Harriet Shoffner lighted a gas
jot in the bath mom to boat water.
As she reached across the burning jet
the fuzz on her nightgown caught
fire. In her fright she ran across
the hall and jumped into bed with
Miss Adele Osbourne, who also was
wearing a flanelette gown. In an in
stant Miss Osbornes garment *dso
was blazing.
In their frenzy the girls rolled hys
terically under the covers and cried
for help. Before the members of the
household reached them the flames
had been snuffed out.

A raft of logs recently received
at the Petersburg sawmill contain

were only 91 logs, all even size,
averaging five feet in diameter.
