BITTEN BY A PYTHON.
CURATOR’S UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE. ADELAIDE, May 21. Tne Curator of Snake Park was giving a demonstration with a fourteenfoot python when the reptile seized his face, part of which was taken inside the snake’s jaws. The reptile endeavoured to constrict itself round the curator’s body, but he managed to place his foot on its tail, preventing it. Another official prized open the jaws with a walking stick. The curator’s face was severely lacerated with the snake’s teeth, requiring medical attention.— (P.A.)
