Mr Julius Jenny, an American taxidermist, who is 62 years of age, boasts that lie is so poisonous that rattlesnakes dip every time they bite him. He savs he has been bitten 52 times in the last 20 years. Seventeen different reptiles have bitten Mr Jermy during this period of time, and each, be savs, died within from 12 to 48 hoars. Not only that, one snake bit him 35 times in 1905, and died within two hours, while Mr Jermy did not feel the effects of the bites. No explanation of the deaths of the serpentine friends can be made by Mr Jermy, other than that he absorbs so much poison in mounting birds and beasts that his own flesh becomes deadlier than the venom. In a bird sanctuary, within eight miles of the Marble Arch, London, nearly fifty varieties of birds have nested, ♦ while forty other species have been recorded as passing through.
