crown or chaplet which he wears This
serpent, which the naturalists claim is
as mythical as the legendary hoop
snake, is held in great reverence by
the ignorant Italians, and many Curl
Gus stories are told about his crown.
The crown is believed to be separate
from the snakes head, and to be COM
posed of natural jewels of great occult
power. Occasionally a jeweled serpent
lays his crown aside while foraging,
and il it is found and picked up by
some person at this time 1t will work

day. Insanity, the Italians claim, is
caused by people discovering and pick

morning. before the dew is of the
