For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Friendly Snakes Of Florida.

1t is not particularly asnake story that
[ propose to tell; they are too antiquated
and the public generally is pretty we'll up
with the times on both snake and fish
stories: Therefore you need not shudder
or become nervous, for it is in defense of
harmless snakes that am to enter my
plea, and if possible stay the indis-
criminate slaughter of harmless snakes
simply by reason of their being snakes.
We have three very common and we'll
known species of harmless snakes in Flor
ida that are active in the destruction of
most of the poisonous snakes, which are
the king snake, coach whip and black
runner. 1t is my opinion that were it not
for the three kinds mentioned there would
be five times more poisonous snakes than
there are now.
There may possibly be other harmless
snakes, such as the gopher snake, chicken
snake and grass snake, that put in some
good work on this line, but we have no
evidence of it, but it will not be denied
that they keep in check rats, rabbits, sal
amanders, ETC., and thereby serve good
purpose in their sphere, and ought not
to be killed. 1t is not difficult matter
to determine those which are poisonous
and these which are harmless, even by
those not acquainted with the different
kinds.
Most, if not all, harmless snakes have
small round head, with compressed jaws,
while very nearly if not quite all poison
GUS snakes have heavy, fiat heads, with
distended Jaws, quite out OF proportion
to the size of the neck, and are generally
clumsy and of slow movement, while
harmless ones are active and of rapid
motion.
There are but few cOmbats more excit-
ing and interesting than that between
those harmless snakes which make war on
poisonous ones, and the possibly large
rattlers whose huge proportions out
weigh 100 per cent. over the attacking
one. We have twice in our time witnessed
the combat where the size and weight was
much to the advantage of the poisonous
snake, but in each instance it was de-
cided victory in favor of the harmless
one.
OF course the movements during leisure
travel with all snakes are slow, with no
purpose seemingly to actuate them. Dur
ing their travels, however, when brought
into contact with each other both come
to dead halt and so remain for quite
awhile, each cycling the other. This is
continued until the poisonous one makes
a move to pass on, when the harmless
snake makes an advance in threatening
way; the poisonous one Immediately re-
sents it with an attack, but the odds are
against him, through his clumsiness, and
after the harmless one, through his pre-
tended assaults, gets the poisonous one
in a rage, with one sprightly leap he fas-
tens his teeth in 1.-THE neck and throat OF
his game; in the twinkling OF an eye he

USING VIRGINIA GOALS.
Ship Owners Learning Wha' are lac
Rest Steam Goals in AnerIca.

The White Star steamship Majestic,
on her last trip from New York to
Liverpool, beat her best record six
hours and fifteen minutes, which is
the quickest trip on record across the
Atlantic on the eastern passage, with
the exception of two trips made by
the City of Paris. The Majestic
used Pocahontas coal on this trip, ii
being the first time this line has used
the famous Virginia steam coal.
The various ship building firms
which contract for Federal cruisers
have learned at last that the Poca-
hontas Goals are best steam Goals in
America, and use them for making
trial trips. The Scots used hand
picked Virginia Goals for both the
Charleston and San Francisco, and
both made phenomenal records.
