Boa's Hugging Powers
Among the large collection bf Jungle
creatures hr ought to New York by the
Beebe expedition from Rntish Ouiana
was what is described as the most iri
descent tropical snake ever seen In
this latitude.
The snake, which will find a home
In the Zoological museum. Is over
seven feet long, and was captured by
the ladles of the expedition, Miss Ruth
Rose, the historian ; Miss Isabel Coop
er, the artist, and Mrs. John Teevan.
Miss Rose/In describing the capture,
said that the male members of the
party, Including Sergte Chetyrkin,
archeologist, and Mr Teevan, were
away In the depths of the jungle while
the young Women w ere in a subcamp
with a group uf native women and
children. The welkin was suddenly
split with feminine screams, and the
white ladies boldly ran to the scene
of the huriubaioo. Native women of
Rritish < iuiana do not know a poison
ous snake from the harmless kind, xnd
they had never seen a scintillating
rainbow boa before. That was what
they were screaming about.
Under the leadership of Miss Rose
the ladies closed in on the snaike,
whose dazzling beauty, Miss Rose in
timated, seemed intended as a protec
tive coloration to blind Its foes. The
standard way to capture a big snake
Is to grab it by the hack of tin- neck,
and if you are an ordinary Indy to call
for male help. Ornithological Indies
never think of calling for help.
Exactly which, one grabbed the hack
of the boa's neck lirst none of the
grabbers could tell. Rut all got firm
grips somewhere on the marvelous

Hungarian Gypsy Music
The music of the Hungarian gypsy
has been handed down from father to
son for ages and is distinctive and tra

Rackoczy pipe, a kind of small Lut
rough oboe with a half wailing, half

ns much Hungarian as gypsy, however,
for the name is taken from fbat of a
field outside Rudapest, where at one
time the kings of Hungary opened their
parliament or riksdag. It seems likely
fhat the insmi'ment was used eittier
for calling the members together or for
ritual purposes connected with the
ceremonies of die opening and closing
•of the. parliament, ami so'was given
the name of tie* place where it was
utilized.

with which Drake was playing when
the armada came In sigh*. These
howls are among the treasures, of Tor

There are people, however, who
doubt their authenticity, or,- rather,
the truth of the famous anecdote nf
Drake and his celebrated game on
Plymouth Hoe.

of the incident, which was described
for .the first time in Rritain in an
