In Persia there is kind Of snake
Which Is known to the natives as the

nnlno from peculiar buzzing noise

fectly harmless and frequently glide in

up saw about 20 sparrows on the top
Of wall, oil jumping about in an en-

AT first was at loss to understand
the cause of such o commotion. but
presently heard tho peculiar buzzing
of the clock winding snake and in a
minute perceived the reptile crawling
along the wall. making directly for the
birds, which appeared to bo fascinated
and made no attempt to fly away. The
snake glided in among tho birds. and
choosing one to his liking deliberately
seized it in his mouth and swallowed
it I picked up stick, and after kill
ing tho snake cut him open and extract
ed the sparrow. After about 10 min
utcs' exposure to the sun tho bird got
up, and i'll few minutes more flew
away apparently unhurt. = ST Louis
