Take, for instance, Moe Aarons of New York City. Moe has been a circus man for most of his life, and for a good part of that time he has held down one of the most intriguing jobs in the circus business.

And did Moe lead the band, or swing the flying trapeze, or whiten up his face and do a clown act in the big arena? Not on your life. Moe didn't even travel with the show. For 25 years he has toured the Far East looking for animals with which to stock the menagerie. In that time, Moe has seen plenty, and had plenty of things happen to him. But none of his experiences can ever touch the one he had in October, 1931, with a monster from the dark jungles of Burma.

The snakes were pythons of extraordinary size, some of them as long as 28 feet, as big around as a stovepipe, and capable of crushing horses to death in their coils. They were kept in wooden boxes four feet square, and 1 made regular rounds to see that they were all secure, for the steamer carried 800 people, crew included, and I realized my responsibility in safeguarding them from my reptiles." I ' But one day, to his consternation, Moe found one of his biggest V pythons gone. To save his life he couldn't understand how that snake got out of his box but at the moment that was the least of his worries. The thing to do was to find the reptile and get him back in the case again. Moe hurried to the captain, told him not to worry and asked for a few sailors to help recapture the snake. The captain assigned three sailors to help Moe. Moe searched the vessel for three hours before he found the python, on a shelf in a secluded corner of the deck. "There he lay," says Moe, "with his tongue going in and out of his mouth like lightning.

Cultivation of Rice in India The cultivation "of rice in India was subsequent to that of China. In century B. C, the Twenty-eight- h Emperor Shen Nung had the exclusive right of planting one special kind of rice, and four other kinds were planted by princes of his family. Largest, Smallest Counties The largest and smallest counties in the United States are San Bernardino county, Calif., with 20,175 equare miles, and New York county with (Manhattan borough), N. 22 square miles, respectively. Uses for Tung Oil Chinese tung oil has the highest specific gravity of all known fatty oils, with the exception of castor oil. Its characteristic quality is the readiness with which it sets to a hard jelly on being heated for a time. Besides being used for paint 'jind varnishes, it is also used for dyes and as a lubricant for motors. It is used in China for water proofing paper.

The big towns haven't discovered him yet; his pictures aren't shown in the big movie palaces of the land. He used to be a telegrapher for a railway; later he played the guitar and sang ballads for various small radio stations. Republio engaged him to make westerns, and immediately he was a success; now some of the other motion picture companies would like to get him away from that studio and can't do it. His latest picture is "Rhythm of the Saddle"; his next will be "Western Jamboree." m best-know- DRUGS When in Salt Lake City Stay in an Apartment Hotel.

I was chilled at the sight. But the one thought in my mind was to get him back in his box as soon as possible. I got a stout stick about eight feet long, attached a rope-loo- p contrivance at one end, and instructed the sailors to pull the rope tight as soon as I got the loop over the reptile's head." Moe advanced on the snake, stick extended. He was being careful not to get too close, lest the python strike and get him In its crushing coils.' He got the loop over the reptile's head and yelled, "Pull!" While the sailors held the rope tight, Moe dragged the python down from the shelf, fell on him and grabbed his head. Then he turned to shout further orders to the sailors.

Meanwhile, the snake had begun to wrap me in his folds. I thought: Lord, I will be crushed to death if I don't get some help. But no one lifted a finger except my wife, Minnie, who was standing by near the box we had brought down to put the reptile In. She seized the tail of the snake and unwound one of the folds. She tried to push it into the box, but it came out as fast as she could get it in." Again and again Minnie thrust that tail back In the box, bat each time it lashed out again to coil Itself around Moe. Meanwhile, Moe was on the verge of exhaustion. The colls that were already around bim were all but crushing the life out of him. "My strength was ebbing fast,", he says. "I was wringing wet with perspiration. Blood was flowing from my nose and ears. The folds of the snake had encircled every part of my body from head to foot. Lord, how could people stand around and sea me crushed to death?

And Moe claims that it was she who saved him. It seemed" as if the snake were preparing for one last, final squeeze. He had his tail around Moe, and Minnie was working with all her might to pry it loose again. Moe was ready to give up, but hope dies hard. By that time he had worked himself close to the wooden box in his struggles, and with every ounce of strength he had left in his body, he threw the python's head and one or two of its coils into it. At the same moment, Minnie succeeded In unwrapping the snake's tail. She threw that into the box, too. With his free hand, Moe slammed down the lid of the box and sat on It. That did the trick. Part of the snake was still outside the box, out when he felt the lid slam down on him he straightened out and began drawing the rest of him inside to keep company with his head. "When it was over," says Moe, "I was all In more completely exhausted than I thought a man could be and still remain conscious. I felt as though I didn't have strength to keep on living another minute. I couldn't open my fists and there was a vivid red line encircling every had entwined me. I had part of my body marks of where the snake to lie in hot water for weeks before I was entirely recovered.
