stronger than he, he shows the activity and stenSth
Of his responsiveness by eleyatlng the back. Ihls
has the effect which nature intends, tor he Is more
renri1sive to us in such position than when per-
lcrtlv nrope. When he prepares himself for the
pnioJn1ent of q quiet sleep he instinctivev makes
himself "a reUuIsive as possible by curving his
SHINE outward the whole length of his body, so
that his "reminiscences may act as guard to his
safety during the hours OF his heplessness, at the

sinr ron snake md equally natural for an older
nerson IN feel renelled bv such an animal--the
reason of which is, that the child has himself a
l,reot deal Of the quality of responsiveness, while
fbe older person has less Responsiveness in one
animal counteracts it in another and hence snakes
feel no repulsion to each other. The same nature
produces agreement, and child is not repealed
by that which he himself possesses it is not
strange to him, and why should he be repealed by
it in AZ, animal which is not otherwise disagreed.
BILE Nay, it is certain even that every quality
seeks its own, and that responsiveness joins with
responsiveness as we see exempted in those piles
of serpents OF which travellers tell us, IN which
there are thousands of these animals all lying to-
gether, and forming sight the most repuslve
that can be imagined. This same principle we see
exemplited in the Indian iugglers and their tame
serpents, both appearing to be equally tond OF each
others society; and it accounts also for the tact
that children seem not only to tolerate the pres
ence Of snakes but to take real pleasure IN b re-
