FooD THAT WANTED FooD.-Recently the
Croker Museum was presented with two
large rattlesnakes-very fine specimens.
After they had been in confinement awhile
it was thought probable that they were
hungry, and a frog was put in the case
with them, but he was not wanted. Then
some flies were thrown in to tempt the
| appetite of the reptiles, but unsuccessfnlly.
| 1t was generally concluded that the snakes
were indulging in their winters fast, but,
to make sure, mouse was put in with
| them. The little fellow appeared to be
| terror-stricken for some time, but, as the
snakes did not trouble him, in the course
| of two or three days he lost his fear of
| them. Thursday morning Superintendent
Jackson heard a racket in the glass case,
| and hurried to see what was the matter,
when he found that the mouse, grown des-
perate through hunger had attacked one
OF the snakes, and, snugly perched on the
| back of his neck had eaten large hole in
| his snakeship, laying bare the vertebr;e
| Mr.. Mouse was fired out Immediately.
| 1t remains to be seen whether the snake is
| dangerously hurt.
