At last {i arrived at the run-down and with a slight effort it raised itself and started to cross this little bridge to reach the audience. There was asud- den movement of alarm among the spectators, mostot whom thought that the appearance of the serpent was part of the trick aud were yet frightened by the feartul reality, but this alarm Was allayed when the head of the snake, as It entered on the run-down and passed the line of the footiights, suddenly vanished. ‘Ihe tortu- ous body coud be seen still rising from the hat And pressing forward only to become invisible asit leftthe stage. It was some seconds after the head had disappeared before the tall of the snake left the hat, but soon it followed the headiess body, which continued to move toward the spectators and which was steadily disappearing as it left the stage. ‘The tail was advancing nearer to the tootlighis until only a yard of the snake's length was to be seen: tien only a hala yard was visible; at last the final few inches, thin and tapering, were Sliding across the ‘diminishing distance, until, With @ sinister vibration, @he tip of tho tall Waved ttxelf upon the runsiown into and in- visible space.

A good many people are afraid of it, especiaily at night, shuttiag themselves in close bed-rooms, where their systems are poisoned and their constitutions gradually un- dermined by breathing the bad air. And even hot, or warm air that is pure—air in a room that has ventilation as well as heat—is debili- tating where breathed all night. ‘The evidence that pulmonary complaints are inevitably and exclu-ively caused by {0 door air, and cured by pure, especially by cold-pure, outdoor air, can grow conyine- ing to a ‘degree almost afMlictive to a philan- tufopist, who must often feel like a traveler seeing his compantors groping in the loom ot a subterranean labyrinth avd “reius ing to follow the clew that has led him back to the sunshine of the upper world.
