worth seeing, contains fine specimens of vegetation, plants, flowers and trees, with cascades and miniature lakes. The venomous fer-des-lance, the deadliest snake of Martinique, turks in the more sequestered places of this artificial para disc. This malignant reptile, which so much resembles a banana, differs from other reptiles, inasmueh as it does not wait for attack, but becomes the ag- gressor. It is the terror of the island. There is no antidote for it's poisonous bite, not even whisky, the great Ameri- can cure. Many laborers die from 1t in the cane fields every year. Poor fellows, if they suffer from it's bite as 1 suffered once from being stung by an adder, l feel sorry for them. I was once stung to the quick by an adder, and it happened in the city of Birmingham on First ave nue. at the Alabama National bank. went to the bank, and the clerk, after adding up the ledger, told me my account was overdrawn.
 But to get back to the fer-de-lance. This venomous reptile is found nowhere else that I ever heard of. The venomous tarantula and scorpion are also found here. Earthquakes occasionally occur and cyclones are frequent. A few years ago one wrecked thirty vessel; so, taking it all in all, Martinique is delightful place to keep away from.
