Real Sea Serpents. In New Caledonia sea serpents are frequently seen aud sometimes cap tured. They are curious creatures, the head being very small nnd scarcely dis tinguishable from the body and the tail being formed like an 'oar. In length they are generally between three and Tour feet. In the jaw there are tlnv elands containing poison, but as the mouth is very small It is diffi cult for them to bite, and tne natives handle them fearlessly. M. Kermogant, a European traveler, witnessed an ex-: pertinent at Noumea which shows un der certain conditions the sea serpent can do deadly work. A rat was caught j In a trap, and Its tongue was grasped j by a pair of pinchers and placed In the ; month of a sea serpent. The serppnt j Immediately bit it. and the rat died in four minutes. i Lopped It Off. Towne Has he sent you a check for your services?
