HeId by Its Differing Eye. Rabbit
Awaited Certain Death.
A gopher snake at Escondido has been
the cause Of much earnest discussion
among local naturalists recently. The
question discussed was, do Snakes
Charm or Hypnotize Their Preyr' One
of the naturalists had the unusual but
fortunate experience ut Escondido Of
happening upon large gopher snake
just as the reptile was abont to over
como trembling cottontail rabbit and
envelop the animal in its deadly coils.
For some time the naturalist watched
the snakes movements.
1t was within 10 or 12 inches of the
apparently fascinated rabbit. Silently
and almost imperceptibly the snake had
wormed its way nearer and nearer to
its victim. Its eyes glistened with an
intense brightness. Not movement did
1t make which might alarm the timid
rabbit. The forked tongue, which to the
eye Of human being is so repulsive
aud intended to DO terrifying, appeared
to exert an entirely different influence
upon the mind Of the innocent rabbit.
This darting tongue either excited the
victims curiosity or caused the animal
to so concentrate its mind ON the snakes
tongue as to throw that mind into Q
hypnotic condition of such strength that
it could not break the spell and run
away from impending death. The forked
tongue darted ont Of the snakes mouth
almost as regularly and rapidly as the
needle OF sewing machine rises and
falls in the cloth. The 1.-THE body crept
nearer and nearer. The rabbit was mo-
tionless. Its eye was fixed ON the pierre
ing eye Of the snake. Even the waving
of the wind kissed shrubs about the
rabbit failed to break the spell, and
softly and slowly grim death in snake
form wreathed its folds about the crea-
ture. Then was the spell broken.
To the naturalist who watched the
capture Of the rabbit it appeared as il
the snake had certainly fascinated the
animal As gopher snake is not poi
sonous and has no well developed fangs.
its only means of killing prey is by con-
striction. In order to catch an animal it
seems almost necessary for the snake to
fascinate the victim. --Washington Post.

What This Important Food IL Made Of In
Different Countries
In England and America wheat bread
Is within the reach Of all, and scarcely
Is thought given to the fact that only
small portion of the earth's inhabit-
ants enjoy 1t. 1t is only during the last
century that wheat bread has come into
common use. A hundred years ago
wealthy families in England used only
o peck Of wheat year and that at
Christmas. eating cat cakes during the
remainder Of the time.
The German "pumpernickel" is a
rye bread with curions, sour taste, but
after eating 1t awhile one acquires quite
q taste for IL. It is less nutritious than
that of wheat. In the poorer parts of
Sweden the people bake their rye bread
only twice year and store 1t away, SO
that eventually it is "a hard as bricks.
Farther north still barley and oats be-
come the chief bread corn. Bgt in the
distinct north is where man Is put to
thought to provide himself with bread.
In Lapland IL q man trusted to grain he
would starye. so the people exc out
their scanty store Of oats with the inner
bark Of the pine, and after grinding this
mixture 1t is made into large fat cakes.

In dreary Kamohatka tho pine or

the native bread food. Bread and butter
Is represented by dough of pine bark
spread with seal fat. In certain parts Of
Siberia the people not only grind the
pine bark. but cut off the tender shoots,
which procedure must give the bread an
unpleasantly resinous flavor.
In Iceland the lichen is scraped Off the
rock. made into bread buildings and put
into soup. In Russia and China buck.
wheat is pressed into service. Il makes

In Italy and Spain chestnuts are cook

and soup thickening. Millet furnishes q
white bread in Arabia, Egypt and India.
This grain is credited with being this

Rice bread is still the staple food Of

In tho Indian archipelago the starchy
