About five miles from Port Eliza
beth, Natal, when out shooting, 1 saw
an instance of the complete paralysis
OF a bird by a snake; and though the
word fascination" commonly used
for this kind Of effect without contact
is perhaps wrongly employed, the
case was a good example of whr-
usually meant by the term. Our at
tention was first attracted by some
thing moving on the branch of a tree,
about ten feet above the ground. We
then saw it was a Cape cobra, of the
deadly kind, standing erect with only
the lowest coils of its tail round the
branch, with its hood expanded, and
swaying from side to side. On going
nearer we saw, what we had not
noticed before, a pigeon, sitting on
the branch, about a yard from the
snake. 1t was perfectly motionless,
not crouched on the bough, but stand
ing up, and made not the slightest
attempt to fly away. We shot the
snake, but neither the fall of the
creature mol the report seemed to
"unfreeze" the pigeon, at first. Then
it did not fly, but slowly walked along
the bough into the centre of the tree,
where l suppose it remained until it
had recovered from the shock to its
nerves.-Ihe Specta tor.
