Gentlemen : This is the celebrated boar con-
(trictor; the finest, largest, longest, strongest
and prettiest animal of its species on exhibition
in this country. He was canght in South Africa
(as he lay torbid after swallowing two oxen and
a dr ore of sheep) in a wire net, his capture
affording a beautiful illustration of successful
wire-pulling.
It was supposed that the sand where he was
found was hot enough to boil eggs, and that his
skin was at least “well done" is prored by his
highly finished appearance. His color Is sup
posed to combine all the hnes of all the snakes
thafchisaed or bit from the “old serpent” to the
congor eel. His size is variable, as, like most
other objects in nature, he expands with heat
and contracts with cold. For every rise ofifive
degrees in the thermometer, he gets a foot of
longitude. In bis native sands he is a hundred
and fifty feet long. The warm season of onr
country stretches him twenty-five feet. . Last
January, when the thermometer fell to sixteen
degrees, he .brouk into such trifling dimensions
as to be invisible through a microscope. His
present length yon can see for yourselves. His
temperance principles are of the Goughist kind.
He u a dozen cold water societies rolled into
one. ' His drink at his present dimensions is
three gallons of water per week, his food three
more gallon?. He has great natural talent for
jwJiHca, which he shows by changing his coat
three times a year. Price of admission twenty-
five cent*!

In consequence of this peculiarity in their dis
position, tile space left between these islands
and the Florida coast, marked on the map as
mud flats, is broad and open at the western out
let, but almost doted towards the east. It is
important to remember the form of this broad
intervening space, strefching between the keys
and the mainland, because the narrower and
more shallow end may easily bo filled up with
sand, mud, etc. If yon will look at the map,
you will see, by the flats at the eastern end of
this once open channel, that such a process is
actually going on. In fact, a current seta to
wards the channel drifting into it sand, mud and
debris of all sorts.
I hope to show yon that these flats being
gradually consolidated into dry land, will at last
make a bridge between the islands and the low
er extremity of Florida uniting them solidly
together, so that the former will cease to be is
lands, and will become part of the main land.
Indeed, we shall find that .Florida herself, so far
as her structure is known, is only a succession
of such rows of islands aa now lie outside her
southern shore, united together, by flats exactly
like those accumulating at this moment between
the present islands ana the coast. These islands
are called the keys of Florida and are distin
guished from one another by a variety of appel
lations, such as Sand Key, Key West, Indian
Key, Long Key, and the like. They are of va-
