ARKANSAS SNAKEs.-Dr. hvord, County
Clerk NJ .stcrsop ADD Mr.. Leahy Of H.llville,
La, have lst returned from hunt on Saline
Fork, AK. The party had stationed them
selves in the tree platforms abou Y KUN Bue
lick, and were waiting for deer. which came
there at dawn. The lick is at the bottom OF
steep hill. Dr. Alvord suddc0ly noticed some.
thing like hoop como rolling down the hill
and across the wet lick. 1t was followed by
three others. which relied to where it had step
ped. Mr. l. ahy called cut: Hoop snakes
W.,ch them, boys II
The snakes played around for a i@w minutes,
and then resumipg their former positions,
sanding on edge With their tails in their
mouths, deliberately began to roll up the hill,
The gentlemen rubbed thei. eyes and LOOKED
agso-there they we're, rolling up hill! just as
gu ck end as easily as they had lied down.
At first the party agreed not to say spything
about the mater, IS they feared their story
would not be believed. But Colonel Stark, at
whose plantation they passed Lhe next night,
expIaioed TO them that the hoop snake is able
to thickcn itself LITTLE in front Of its point of
contact With the ground. and to keep this part
OF itself heavier than the bsaIc; hence, as
! the center of gravity falls 10 front of the base,
the spaka cannot help revolving in any dlrec'
