C-z1r1as SNAKES IN INDIA.
They Cause the Deaths of More Than TWEEN
ty Thousand Natives Annually.

Every half hour in India, on the aver
age, death occurs from snake poisoning.
The total number of deathsfrom this cause
in "A day Is about 3d. and in year about
1000, Fortunately for the maintenance
of the British power in India, these casual
ties are confined almost entirely to the
poorer and more ignorant natives
These natives are themselves largely to
blame for the frequency with which they
are stricken down by the poisonous rep
tiles. They habitually go about with bare
feet making so little noise that the snake
Is surprised and bites, whereas II it had
been warned of the natives approach it
would have skunk harmlessly out Of the
way.
The waters about India contain sea SER
pents, as to whose genuineness there can
be no doubt. They are without exception
poisonous and are especially numerous in
the bay of Bengal. They sometimes pene-
trate the city water pipes. They have oar
shaped tails, by which they steer them
selves. The effect of receiving their poison
into the human system is to raise the spir-
its and cause feeling Of great sociability.
This gradually passes off and the victim
dies at the end of three days.
The British government offers large re-
wards annually for the heads Of poisonous
snakes Consequently great numbers are
destroyed. An obstacle to their extermina-
tiOn is the veneration with which the ma
tiyes regard some Of the most poisonous
varieties, especially the cobras. Compare
lively few natives in India will kill a
snake willingly.

The Ways of the FiJians.

The national character of Fiji finds
its best expression in the songs once
common among the natives, but now,
under Christian influences, almost OBJ
solete. These songs, or mekkes, as they
are called, generally recount the story
of some ancient hero, Of some military
campaign or naval expedition, or per-
haps Of a peaceful fishing excursion.
They are generally sung Of evenings
by the men only, who assemble for the
purpose in one of their long, low huts.
Here they sit in solemn state on mats
laid upon the ground, the only light be-
ing that Of a smoky fire in one end. Ac-
cording to Major Abercrombie, an eye
witness Of the ceremony, one man be-
gins the chant alone; a second soon
joins him, then few more, till finally
all present have taken it up, accompa-
nying the wild music by much panto-
mime and earnest gesticulation, The
time is beaten upon a wooden drum by
on of their number, and is occasionally
accentuated by general clapping Of the
hands After certain climax has been
reached the music stops quite abruptly
with one loud clap. Popular Science
