About African Snakes.

The African cobra is regarded somewhat
reverently by the natives of that country,
who once year kill cobra de capello and
hang its skin to the branch of a tree tail
downward. Then all the children born
during the last year are brought out and
made to touch the skin. This the parents
think puts them under the serpent's pro-
lection. The cobra de capello divides with
the horned viper of Africa the question
able honor of being the worm of the Nile"
to whose venomous tooth Cleopatra's death
was due.
The kaffirs use the venom of this snakes
cousin-the puff adder-to poison their ar
rows, and when they have any small guam
tity left they swallow it, having theory
that it will protect them from the bad eff
ects Of future bites. The snake tribe of
the Punjab say that the bites of snakes do
not hurt them, and if they find dead SER
pent they dress it in clothes and give 1t a
superb funeral.-St. Nicholas.

Real Sea Serpents.

The seas from Madagascar to Panama
and from Japan to New Zealand are thick
ly infested with marine snakes. DR.. Stein
eyer, the reptilian expert of the Smith
sonian institution, says they are among
the most poisonous of all known serpents,
their venom being no less deadly than that
of the cobra and rattlesnake. Further
more, they are very fierce and aggressive,
and will commonly attack human beings
if they get a chance. They do not frequent
the shadows unless possibly for breeding,
but live in the open ocean. When full
grown they are from six to eight feet long.
Fishermen in the waters where they are
found are greatly afraid of them. Their
bodies are fiat and the inside of them is
almost wholly filled by the lungs, which
are Einrge in order that they may be en-
abled to stay beneath the surface for a
long time without coming up to breathe.
They have eyes modified for seeing in the
water, so that when they are taken out of
their native element they seem blinded
and strike wildly. Their fangs, like those
of the cobra, are always erect.-Chicago

Rats and Mice and Iarce Animal.

How many people are there who know
that elephants, rhinoceroses and other
large thick skinned animals have formid-
able enemies in rats and mice? These
small, rascally rodents have found that
the feet Of the elephant are excellent eat
ing, and have no hesitation in gnawing at
them when the animal lies down, which,
owing to it's confined condition, is not very
well able to defend itself against its puny
enemies. To protect these vast creatures
it is found necessary in most menageries to
keep terriers about the cages These little
fellows very soon dispose of the pachy-
derm's tiny adversaries 1t was recently
discovered in well known menagerie
that the mice and rats had been very busy
with the hide of rhinoceros. A Scotch
terrier, Fanny, was put into the cage of
the huge beast, and in the first night she
had killed no fewer than twenty-seven
rats. In few days there were no rats left
to nibble the hide of the poor rhinoceros.
