A RABBITSUBDUES A BOA CONSTRICTOR

According to a Patis newspaper, a rabliit was placed in the cage of one of the larger serpents in tlie Jardin des Plantes a day or two ago, for the da.ly meal of the occupant. A poorer specimen of the rahbit tribe, in point of appearance, it would not he easy to find, hut it was noticed that the little creature had a peculiar y knowing and determined look. 'I he hoi hissed joyously at the sight of his dinner, and at once put all the power of fascination he possessed into his large round eyes.

But the raid it was not to be fas* ciliated Boldly and even defiantly, he returned the reptile's stare, till the latter, finding means of no avail, proceeded to unfold one of his coils This inenad >g movement had the effect of producing a marvellous dis play of saltatory activity on the part at the raid at. His wild bounds and jumps, winch he kept up u untermptedlyfor several minutes, moving his ears terribly the while, could only 1 e compared to those of a red Indian “brave” in the heat of a war dance. The l oa, who was evidently unaccustomed to such a sho-v of tight on the part of his victims, drew back, thoroughly intimidated. Profiting by this moment of hesitation, the rabbit, who was decided! v the Bayard of bis race, jumped upon the back of its adversary, who now, utterly cowed and discomfited, retreated under the folds of his blanket. The rabbit squatted himself on his hind quarters at the other end of the cage in an attitude of expectation; and in these positions—so the veracious history ends—both animals were found by the keepers next morning.
