GREAT SNAKE STORY.
Reptile Marked An Over with Bible ChaI
actera from thu Rook NJ Dan.ala

Reptile Marked An Over with Bible Char.
scters from the Book Of Genesis.
Very few readers ever dream that
there is any single piece Of reading
matter In the world which lives,
0reathes and circulates on Its own In
vidual account, says London Answers
But anyone who will take the
trouble to walk into certain shop in
Piccadilly, not far from the Egyptian
hall. will be rewarded by seeing spe-
cies Of snake, known as the lemon boa,
with the whole Of the third chapter Of
Genesis tattooed on Its body. The rep
tile is only lent for exhibition, but the
gentleman who purchased It states that
on board the South American sailing
vessel, the scene Of this remarkable
tattooing, II is common diversion
among tho sailors to capture live
snakes, extract their fangs and &C yer
the body with any number Of inscrip-
tions, legends and devices, and then
dispose Of the reptiles at the first port
Few Of the purchasers, however, care
to have charge Of live snakes-be they
ever so harmless-so 1t is customary to
either stuff these latter with fine straw
and putty, or else immerse them In
alcohol, although this process com.
monty has the effect Of taking all the
brilliancy out Of the pigments EN-.
ployed.
In the case Of long and extremely
fine inscriptions, alcohol, however,
shows up and preserves these to great
advantage. A sailor spent six months
in tattooing ono Of tho "Sketches by
Boz" containing four thousand five
hundred and twenty words, upon the
skin Of q rattlesnake, which he after
ward sold to q gentleman for eight
guineas
