S e T ~M. K. 53 "as U S Answer: This picturesque phrase was given to us by the early Ameri- can settler whose most important possession was his flintlock rifie, which consisted of the lock, the stock and the barrel. Frequently these rifles misfired; the powder in the pan only would flash, producing a “fizzling” noise. From this often critical occurrence ‘we have the expressions “flash in the pan” and “fizzle,” which now mean a ridiculous failure after a great effort.

Hardly had they entered it when a big python struck one man to the ground and curled around him to start squeezing him to death. All of his friends got out of the way except one. Perhaps this one stayed to try to help the fallen man. At any rate he, too, was seized hy the python. The power of a python’s squeeze s hard to express. The huge snake ean crush the life out of an animal worst crushing at the moment a victim is seized. He is held tightly, but the full crushing power comes later. Mr. Reid saw what had hap- pened and ran to the spot. Raising his rifle, he fired at the serpent's head and the big bullet tore part of the head away. The head fell limply toward the ground and the natives were freed from the python’s grip. One had suffered a broken arm and several broken ribs.
