perintendent Stephens, of the Zi-

thrilling encounter with a 14-foot
python to-dav, during which the
snake "attempted t swallow Ir.

thon and a boa constiictor from
their cage to-day, preparatory to
making some alterations in tlie

hold of it around the throat, a lien
began a terrible tight.
He tried to kick it 1oom., bat on

Then with a sudden twist the py
thon turned in his hands and tho
snake's eyes glared fiercely into Mri
Stephens. The spectators stood
appalled, while the, python began
to swallow its' victim's hand. A'
long fang tieuetmted to the bone
of tbe thumb and" blood -spurted
from the snakes mouth and tnnk
led to the floor. The moment was

man strength Stcphei.s gra,-pcI the
throat of the monster with ins tree
hand and with the energy of des
pair choked the snake till it gasp
ed for breath. When the jaws
parted the hand was jerked out
breaking off a ple?e of the fang
that came away in tho wound. The
attendant rushed in and together
