SNAKES IN AUSTRALIA.

There are five kinds of venomous snakes in Victoria-the tiger snake, the black snake, the brown snake. the cop perhead and the death adder.
 The aforementioned is very rare in Victoria and very venomous. It is about two feet long, very thick in pro- portion to its length, of a dull-brown color and with a flat, wide head. The strangest thing about it is that many people believe its sting is contained in the tail.
 count. there are four species which are fairly common. The tiger snake comes first, in popular estimation if not in reality. It is regarded as the most yenomous and the most savage. It at- tains in some districts length of about six feet, but the majority of specimens are from three to four feet long. It's coloring is variegated, black and brown on the back, and pale brown on the belly.
 When attacked it sometimes raises its head to & height of a foot from the ground; and it's appearance then, as 1t rests with it's head seemingly widened out. it's necl. contracted. it's forked tongue fiickering out of its mouth. and it's eyes blazing with rage, makes the average man rather chary of approach ing. One good point is that the back bone of all snakes Is easily broken by a blow from a stick, and the power of locomotion is thus taken away. Next on the list is the black snake. This is rather larger than the tiger, and the handsomest of all Victorian snakes.
 The back is jet black and shines like a well-polished boot, and the belly is a beautiful salmon pink. It is less com mon than the tiger snake and is very freouently confounded with the copper head The brown snake is brown on the back, whity- brown on the belly and about the same length as the other two. The commonest of all, at any rate near Melbourne, is the copperhead which is found in most parts of Victoria. As its name implies it has a coppery head, a dark back and a yellowish belly Chambers Journal.

THE GREAT "sTAKED PLAINS. ''

THE GREAT "STAKED PLAINS.
 FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. S.-The vast changes that have been made out of the great "Staked Plains" the past sixteen years are phenomenal. mat large expanse of unbroken prairie de- rived it's name from the Mexicans and Indians, who called 1t "LlanoS ESta- cades," long before the advent or the Americans. The scarcity of water dur ing the summer months rendered IL d dangerous matter to attempt the Jour ney across them, and it is known that many caravans of Mexicans in early days making their way from the Rio Grande into New Mexico perlsheu among their sandy wastes.
 For many years after the country on every side had been in measure set tied up the plains were looked upon as a sort of forbidden region, the epitome of everything that was inhospltable III nature and totally useless for supplying any of the wants of man. Those ad- Venturous individuals who ventured Tar into it's dangerous depths reported IL a treeless, silent waste, without sign of life. except the buZZards that c1rcled high in the heavens or the coyote that hurried across the trail and disappeared like a flash among the sagebrush and tall grass that lined the banks Of the dry arroyos. Huge whirlWinds would appear to block the way for time, and then hurry off, as if disturbed by the presence of men in those grim soil tudes. In the early morning wreaths Of dust went spinning around before the breeze, as if some desert sands had arisen and had just begun to enVelop the great eXpanSe.
 The last case known of any one per- ishing on the plains was In 1S9O. when two Americans and one Mexican, a sheep herder, attempted to make their pannC Citv fn Amarillo in midsummer, and, being poorly proyis- toned with water and losing the trail as we'll soon died of thirst, as did their horses. A peculiar feature of this accident was that, although the coyo- tes and buzzards had picked the bones of the Americans clean, the body Of the Mexican had baked and dried in the sun and was practically intact, owing to the fact that the diet of the MeXi- cans on the border is always composed in great part of chile and red pepper, substances apparently not appreciated by either the buzzards or the coyotes.
 Since that day no other fatality that is known has occurred on the plains. The progressive rancher and cattleman has year by year encroached on this vast area, sinking wells, running wire fences, and rearing a better breed of stock than is to be seen to-day any where in Texas. Water is found from 20 to 100 feet, and in abundance. The altitude of the "Staked Plains" district insures the health of the stock the year round, nd fever. anthrax and blackleg are seldom heard of in that region. Such great cattle magnates as Colonel Slaughter of Dallas, John Scharbauer of Fort Worth. c. c.
