THE BANKRATE.

BANK OF ENGLAND'S DIS- COUNT NOW 6% PER CENT,

London, Sept. 26. The Bank of England discount rate is now six and a half per cont.

ர்

The raising. of the bank rate is .attributed to the drain of gold from England, as to which the Bank of England has lost over £20,000,000 since the beginning of the year, and as a result its re- serves have been reduced to a point which is regarded in some quarters as too low. It is hoped the raising of the rate will at least arrest the drain, if it does' not actually bring back some of the lost gold

On the contrary, it is feared that the rise will result in a gen eral fall of security prices, and increase the interest on loans.

PYTHON ESCAPES. THRILLING INCIDENT AT

MANCHESTER ZOÖ, -!

Manchester, Aug. 21, "An extraordinary Incident occur red nt Belle Vue Zoological Gardens, Manchester, to-day, when a giant python, 28ft. in length, escaped, from its cage. Hundreds of peo- ple were in the grounds at the time, and they went about their amuse- ments totally unaware of the fact that the monster was at large.

The python made its escape while it was being fed by its keeper. The man opened the door in the back on the cage, and just as it was ajar the snake flushed in front of his face. Fortunately, the keeper was, short in atature.

Otherwise he would have been un- able to avoid the blow which the reptile aimed at his head.

The keeper slipped behind a half- opened door, and the python passed him and found its way into a’hid- ing place. When it was discovered It resisted successfully for some considerable time all efforts at re- capture.

It was feared at first that the python.would have to be killed, but, fortunately, several men were able, without any damage to themselves, to secure it and return it to cap- tivity!

The python is probably one of the largest of its kind in the world, and is believed to be the largest in captivity. It is worth hundreds of pounds.

There's both youth and sophistication in new black gowns. (Left) Smartly new is the cut of a black tulle gown with a princess silhouette and full, long skirt. A black lace scarf adds an intriguing touch and a diamond and onyx pin is its only light note: (Right) Fouritiers, posed on a slender foundation, give an entirely new line to a full-length black faille taffeta gown with unusual decolletage and shoulder straps.
