SEA-GOING RATTLESNAKES.

Stories of Their Exploits AS N~avigAt0rs
OF the Texan Coast.
1t is generally accepted that the poison
Gus rattler is a dry land snake. bat like a
great many other popular beliefs this il
wide of the mark. On the Texas coast We
have a great many broad bodies Of water,
and frequently mile after mile of trackless
waste intervenes between point and
roint and island and island. The
experienced boatmsn who travel these
broad bays and bayous tell Il
different story about the RATHER. They
know that his ~fxvorite place OF abode is
along the water fronts. where sufficient
brush or other means of eoncealment can
be had and that Il swim of a few miles 10
but a pastime. said an old boatman yes
terday:
II have seen ~rattlers swimming far out in
Matago da bay. at least eight miles from
the nearest point of land. They seem to
have a location in view, and nothing can
make them turn back or depart from their
course l have tried to make them face
about or move along a different point of the
compass, but all to no purpose. The snake
loses much of his courage and ferocity in
the water. for instinct teaches him that he
cannot strike to advantage. He swims we'll,
and will try TO escape, and I have known
him to dive, but the regular route will al
ways be resumed. and the bee returning to
the hive with N deposit of gathered sweets
to be converted into honey could not be
more exact"
1t is the testimony Of all who have made
a study of the RATHER that he will ALWAYS
try to return to the place of birth. We
have an illustration oil this instinct on the
Texas coast.
Fronting on the Gulf of Mexico in places
are low sand islands partly covered with
cactus, brush and other vegetation. in ad-
dition to the native grasses. These islands
are the homes of hundreds of rattlers. They
were submerged in the great storm of 1876
and every living thing washed awav md

swarns OF the mainland for days after the
storm. but it was noticed that they grad
ually disappeared, and it was soon discov-
cred that they returned home by swimming
across the bays and bayous, and tho sue.

A JAPANESE SLASHER,

He Is n Terror Among the Young Girls
Who Are His Victims.
A "slasher' has lately appeared in Toxic.
Late Japanese newspapers tell of the in
tense alarm created in that city through
the operations of q man who steals upon
women at nightfall and inflicts knife
wounds on their faces. apparently with nc
object whatever but the gratl6cation OF
sheer malice. All the efforts of ths police
to trace the slaaher have been unavsiling.
He generally chooses girls of about the
same age, proof that he goes to work with
elaboration and apparently with some set
idea. The accounts given by the girls
whom he has attacked are identical in
evsrv case. There is no warning, the man
displays no weapon, nor ia there any mo-
tion az though to stab or strike.
A man comes up to them suddenly to
within arms length. and then draws the
palm of his hand across their face. and a
wound of considerable denth and length ia
inflicted. II would seem that II small blade
