Feeding a Big Lnake. “Lilli APPET‘IZIXG MEAL A BOA CON- DTIII‘IT‘IR DELIGHTS IN. Three corpulcnt rabbits of Belgian Lr-wgd were caged in a soap box quietly awaiting their fate. They Were the up. -=; for which the snake was anxiously He had not tasted meat in il'I‘ll' months, and his voracious maw ‘.'~t'~‘xll(.‘"i like a bottomless pit for the ntii‘r-rrrtn:ite trio in the soap box. Man- 'tklzllilllu. ol' the rabbits. After stroking “ bunny ” on the back for a moment he opened the door to the snakes den and tlirust him in. The latch boa had curled himself up in a corner, but at once roused himself for action. He was lul- ly twelve feet long. and having recently slwl his winter coat, his skin glistened anl show: like satin. He raised his lll'Ml a foot or so from the floor and viewed the first course of his quadri-an- nnal meal. The rabbit showed no signs of fear but rather seemed to enjoy its new quarters. The snake slowly lower- ed his head and cautiously began to stretch himself along the side of the ~ll'll. the rabbit. which was still unconscious of his longer. Suddenly the rabbit be- gill! to not Stl'ullgt'ly and to cut all sorts of ritiiculeus Capers. He would leap lale'k and forth over the snake and then r ll up against it. and appeared to bc fascinated. Slowly and stealthin the snake turned his head about until it was within a f' ot of the rabbit’s hauncli~ es. Then, quick as a flash, he darted =.'u'\vartl. seized the rabbit in his mouth and in another instant there was nothng to be seen of the little animal save the tips of his cars, which protruded from l-ntwecn the folds ofthc snake. The huge serpent then raised his head full two feet from the floor. dart- ml out his forked tongue and hissed horribly at the motley group watching him. lf'thcrc was any strugglingr on the part of the rabbit‘it was not visible. The snake had him in his awful coils. Then the coils slowly, but with a strength which was terrible to look at, began to tighten till every bone in the poor rab- bit's body must have been broken. This done the coils relaxed, and the limp. lifeless body of the Sportive rabbit of a few moments before lay ready to be swal- lowed. First the serpent nosed his vio- tim all over. The eyeballs of the dead rabbit were protruding from their sock- ets. and by way of beginning the hon licked them with his tongue. Once more he coiled about his victitn, leavingr his head and shoulders free. Then he opened his monstrous jaws and, taking v ounny’s " head therein, began to swal lovv,’ noon the head and shoulders were out of sight, and in leSs than fifteen minutes the hind legs follo'wed. â€"â€"â€"___...o. . ,.
