Naturalist Comments on Tale of Python Devouring a Tiger. A thrilling narrative which was pub- lished recently by at well-known maga- zine told how the author was chasel into a tree by a tiger and there found a py- thon awaiting sum. The tiger began to climb the tree, and while the python was engaged with a ' parrot the author crawled along a slop- ing branch. When the python returned to the place where it had left the writer it found in his stead the tiger, which, according to the story, was almost a full-grown maneater. It then describes how the python seiz- ed and strangled the tiger, and after crushing its body Otto a pulp, was in the act of swallowing it when the author, having descended the tree and. regained , his rifle, shot it. The story ie authenticated by the au- thor's sworn statement, but according to Dr. Blandford, of the zoological so- ciety, and other eminent naturalists, tig- ers in the first place can not climb trees; secondly, do not exist in Ceylon; and thirdly, when imature do net attack human beings unless they are wounded. In addition, pythons, according to Dr. Gunther, are unable to swallow anything larger than a half-grown sheep.•—London Express. TRADE MARK REGISTERED.
