The Sen Snakes.

Among the most interesting Of all ophi.
dams are the sea snakes which are found
in vast numbers in the waters Of the In
dian ocean and other eastern seas They
have tails fattened like fins to serve as
rudders. To exclude the water when they
dive their nostrils are furnished with q
valve. Their lungs extend the whole length
of the body as far as the tail, and, retaining
a large supply of air, enable them to float
on the surface of the water when it is
calm. Ships often pass through shoals OF
them apparently asleep. Their eyes are so
modified as to enable them to see better in
water than in air. All of them are ex-
tremely venomous. They are also very
wild and fierce, on which account they are
a great dread to fishermen. Nevertheless
they are frequently caught in nets. when,
owing to their activity, IT is difficult to dis
engage them. When caught they will often
strike their fangs INTO their own flesh.
They are said to attain a length of twelve
feet. Fishes furnish their food, being par
alyzed by the poison and thus made an
easy prey.
"Ali sorts Of curious notions have arisen
as to the rattle Of the rattlesnake. The
American Indians declare that an addi-
tional joint to the rattle grows whenever
human being falls a victim to that par
ticular serpent-a tradition more poetical
than rational The purpose OF the rattle
has long been a puzzle to scientific men.
1t has been suggested that the snake uses
1t to attract small BIRDS the sound of II
being quite similar to that made by some
insects, particularly the grasshopper DR..
Elliott Coues says that by an Impractical
ear the rafting cannot be DISTINGUISHED
from the chirping Of the large western
grasshopper. Other authorities however
disagree with this idea. They say that the
rattle is shaken for the same cause tina I

curious fact that, when one Of these snakes
is disturbed and springs it's rattle, all other
rattlesnakes within hearing take up the
chorus.
Cannot Close Their Eyes.
Snakes have no eyelids and can therefore
never close their eyes-a fact which has
given rise to vulgar belief that they never
sleep. On each side of the head is a poison
gland, which is only a modified saliyarv
gland. 1t lies behind the eye, whence the
venom is conveyed by a duct to the base of
the tooth. down through it, and is emitted
at the point into the wound made by II.
The point is SO fine and sharp that beneath
powerful microscope it looks perfectly
smooth. whereas the point of the finest
needle looks rough. 1t is popularity i'm

A Snakes Tongue.

1.-The touch Of a snakes tongue on the
hand is felt like the sweep of a thread, 50
light and delicate. When the animal is ex-
cited by fear or otherwise the vibrations of
this organ are so rapid that the eye cannot
follow them. When not thus in use it is
withdrawn into sort of sheath or scab-
bard, which can be closed at will to guard
the sensitive member against injury. One
can easily see how useful such an instru-
ment Is to a creature which, usually noe
turnal, winds it's way through tangled
masses Of vegetation. often in dark caves.
holes and other obscure retreats, with eyes
SO placed that they can see neither before
nor beneath, and with other senses only
feebly developed. Under such circumstances
the tongue feels the way. Its function is
like that of the whiskers Of cat For
its further protection nature has provided a
small opening in the upper lip. so that 1t
can be projected while the mouth is shut.

some extra f1neries or a trip to New

as proper and desirable, and more
over, the day often ended with a
country dance or some other innocent
amusement. But the introduction
of the city hop-pickers has spoiled
this bucolic picture. The chronicler

The light in the room was still dim.

CHAPTER III.

CHAPTER III.
I remember nothing until a period
which must have been two or three
hours later. And then, as it now recurs
to me, was SO weak and yet thorough
~ peaceful that had no desire to use
my memory at all. This was no doubt
q result of the great blood-loss which l
had sustained. Afterward came blank.
Learned, later, that this blank lasted
for nearly five days. The nurses watch
ing me twice decided that had ceased
to live. Then vitality flickered back
into q vague semblance of its old sway.
What first clearly recall is refusing
to drink a certain potion put by the
nurse to my lips, and saying with We
hemence that I had already eaten and
drank more than was good for me. At
this time my watchers were afraid that
I might die of starvation, since the in
jectiOns of nOurishment on which I had
been living had begun to fail of their
nutritive Office.
But from that hour, straight along, /
began to recuperate. Once started, my
bodily recovery was rapid. Not so,
however, my mental recovery. For q
good while I saw Conrad at my side,
though he was no longer there. For a
good while spoke to him and thought
that he returned my answers. The
realization that we had been separated
in a bodily way crept upon me with
drowsy slowness. At last inquired of
my nurse:
Where is my brother?"
We thought it best, SIR" came the
glib reply. that you should be kept
apart while you're both so ILL.,"
Then he is alive?'
oh, yes, sir"
Thank God! And has he suffered?"
Suffered? Oh, no, sir: not at all.
1 heard myself heave a strong, CRATE
full sigh just as I sank into a sleep
which those few sentences made one Of
exhaustion.
But little later l rallied most appre-
ciably. Still to weak too leave my bed,
I could yet hold converse with two or
three doctors who visited me. The alb
sence Of Aveling became q source Of
surprise. and soon inquired for him.
He has been called away said one
Of the doctors.
"Yes-to Paris, I believe" struck in
another; and then saw them exchange
a quick, peculiar smile-a smile which
was destined presently to understand.
Where is my dear old friend, Oscar
Schreiner?' next questioned. Why
does he not come to me-he of all
others?"
we thought you were not strong
enough yet, was answered.
Not strong enough?' returned, al
most mockingly; why, that is really
absurd. Let him come at once"
But they refused, and three good
days had passed before Oscar appeared
ct my bed-side. He was very grave Of
demeanor, and looked somewhat hae-
