SNAKE SWALLOWED THE HORSE.
—* — CAN YOU SWALLOW THE STORY? A correspondent whe has recently returned from a trip to Brazil speaks in glowing terms of the country round the south fork of the Amazon River, which is now being rabidly settled by agriculturists. The climate is said to be" delightful. The only drawback is the immense tree snakes that abound in the zone. These grow to enormous size and prey, on the live stock.
