The Africsn explorer, V. Hoehnel,
on his voyage To lakes Ru tolph and
Stephanie, encountered one day, after
a long rainy spell, rolled up in a cor
ner of the basket In which the dlshes
Of the expedition were carried, SER
pent of narrow girth aud about TWEEN
ty seven inches long. His servant
armed himself with . long DIRK
to kill the serpent, but the moment he
approached the basket he fell back
with a heartrending cry and covered
his ewes with his hand. The snake
had projected into them tiny stream
Of burning liquid which caused terri
BILE suffering.
Hoehnel came up and placed himself
In such a position that the wind would
blow the liquid past his eyes snould
the serpent defend itself IN the same
manner it had done before. As soo-
as the snake caught sight OF him 4
lifted It's head and squirted two drop
Of black fuid upon his neck, which
however, produced no burning sensa
tion ON the skin. An Arab guide, wh'
had heard the cries OF the explorer
servant, came up, and, wrapping h.
turban around his hand, endeavore
10 make a dive into the basket for tn
snake. moment later he, too, fe
back blinded and covering his eye
with his arm. Hoehncl did not soc
to repeat the experiment. He turne
the basket over on the ground, an
the serpent In it's flight was kille
e with sticks, so that the mystery e1ui
Z not be solved as TO the nature ot Il
peculiar squirting qualities.
