Some tree snakes feed on eggs, but GER
tain other serpents are so wonderfully
modified for such food that they may well
be named the egg eaters par excellence.
The mouths of these animals are not Dor
dered by any fleshy lips, and therefore if a
snake were to crack an egg in its mouth
most of its contents would escape and be
lost Accordingly in these serpents the
teeth are reduced to minute size, that
the egg when seized may not be injured by
them. But it must be cracked somewhere
and so, strange to say, the teeth which are
practically absent from the creatures
mouth are transferred to the interior of its
gullet. If such a snakes mouth be opened
and the finger introduced, nothing much
will be felt till it passes down the throat.
There a series of teeth will be felt, and
these consist of a number of bony promi-
nences which project downward into the
outlet from the under surface of the back
bone.
Where they so project into the gullet,
each process is capped with tooth sub
stance, and acts as true tooth. The
snake swallows the egg, which is unin-
jured, and then when it is safely down
within the gullet, it squeezes it against
these curious teeth of its backbone and
breaks it, Thus the whole of the eggs
nutritious contents are secured, and the
waste, which would otherwise inevitably
take place is avoided. Three species of
this kind are found in central and south
ern Africa and the name of egg eater has
been appropriately bestowed on them by
the Cape Colonists.-Quarterly Review

As Others Have Found Africa.

1t is beginning to dawn upon the world
that I'm Darkest Africa" may have CON
tanned a good many statements which,
while in the main correct, We're neverthe-
less exaggerations. This conviction is due
to the fact that no one who has come into
contact with the Africans reports them to
be as savage as they were represented to be
by Henry NJ. Stanley. Another African
traveller, Captain Binger has gone through
the savage regions of the west coast and
the Niger without an escort in safety
This Frenchman says that the natives
We're everywhere peaceably inclined to-
ward him, and he was surprised at their
honesty. At one place he found five or six
sheds filled with merchandise and nobody
was needed to guard it, as there were ne
