Two Snake Stories.

A correspondent of the Pail Mall GA
zette writes: When sitting in q punt In
summer, moored q hundred yards from
shore, 4 have often watched q snake swim
across the lake, in that place about three
hundred yards wide. In The distance al
that lis Visible is a ama black spot NOV
ing steadily over the water. This is the
snakes head, which he holds above the
surface, and which vibrates o little from
side ito side with the se1ertions of the
muscular body. As he comes nearer q
slight swell lndulates on each side,
marking his progress. Snakes never
seem to venture 90 far from shore except
when lit IL perfectly calm. The move.
ment of the body is exactly the same as
ON land--the enake glides over the sur
face, the bends of its body seeming to
act like o screw. They go at q good
pace and with the greatest apparent ease
LIN walking beside the meadow brooks,
not everywhere, hut lin localities whore
these reptiles are common, every now
and then you may see q snake strike off
frem the shore and swim across, twining
in and out the stems of the green flags
till he reaches the aquatic grass ON the
mud and disappears among it.
One warm summers day j sat down on
the grass under an oak, and leaned my
gun against lit, intending to watch the
movements of q pair of w0odpeckers
who had young close by !; but the drowsy
warmth inspired alumber, and on wax
ing probably after some time--I found
q snake tcoiled on the grass under one of
my legs. 4 kept perfectly still, being
,cnfious to zee what rhe snake would do.
He watched me with his keen eyes as
closely as i watched him. So long as
there was ahsolutestillnsss he remained;
the mamentd moved, out shot Ihistorked
black tongue, and awey he went into the
ditchas rapidly as possible.
