TAE Power OF FASCINATION IN SERpENrs

TAE Power OF FASCINATION IN SERPENTs.-
In almost every instance, | have found that the
supposed fascinating faculty of the serpent was
exerted upon the birds at the particular season
of their laying their eggs, or of their Matching

fears of birds supposed to be fascinated origina.
ted in an endeavor to protect their nest or
young. MY inquiries have convinced me that
this is the case.
have already observed, that the rattlesnake
does not climb up trees; but the black snake
and some other species of the Coluber do.
When impelled by hunger and incapable of
satisfying it by the capture of animals on the
ground, they begin to glide up trees or bushes
upon which a bird has its nest. The bird is not
ignorant of the s%erpent's object. She leaves
her nest, whether it contains eggs or young
ones, and endeayors to oppose the reptiles pro-
gress. In doing this, she is actuated by the
strength Of her instructive attachment to her
eggs, or affection to her young. Her cry is
melancholy, her motions tremulous. She ex-
poses herself to the most imminent danger.
Sometimes she approaches SO near the reptile
that he SEXES her as his prey. But this is far
from. being universally the case. Often she
6 'mpels the serpent to leave the tree, and then
returns to her nest. ~ e
1t is a well known fact, that among some
species of birds the female, al a certain period,
is accustomed to compel the young ones to
leave the nest; that is, when the young ones have
acquired so much strength that they are no
longer entitled to all her care. Their flights
are awkward, and soon broken by fatigue: they
fall to the ground, when they are frequently
exposed to the attacks of the serpent, which
atterpps to deyour them. In this situation of
affairs. the mother will place herself upon the
branch Of a tree or a bush in the vicinity of the
serpent She will dart upon the serpent in Or
der to prevent the destruction Of her young;
but fear, the instinct of self.preseryation will
compel her to retire. She leaves the serpent,
however, but for a'short time, and then returns
again. Oftentimes she prevents the destruction
Of her young, attacking tho snake with her
wing, her beak, or her, claws. Should the rep
tile succeed in capturing the young, the mother
Is exposed to less danger. For, while engaged
in swallowing them, he has neither inclination
nor power to sieze upon the old one. But the
appetite of the serpent tribe is great, the capa-
city Of their stomach is not less so. The dam
ger Of the mother is at hand when the young
are idevoured-the snake seizes upon her; and

fascination!-[Dr. Barton's Memoirs.
