Snakes have the sense OF smell. IL
Is difficult to obtain food for rattle
snakes and water-yipers. The owner
OF small private collection has been
trying them on the house rats and
mice he has caught about tho build
ings. He would leave these In the
snake cage over night and through the
day. They would run over the snake
with impunlty. The snakes would pay
no attention TO them. but when he
happened TO secure some field mice
and put them In the cage. the snakes
ate them at once lie then put In
several rats and mice OF the ordinary
house variety that he had caught out
OF doors. and these were seized by the
snakes almost rs readily as the wild
specles. lie then conceived the idea
OF making an earth box to keep the
rats In for a while before feeding, and
soon found that II they were put In
there for ~ hours or so before they
were given to the snakes they would
BIO eaten. The only apparent explana-
ton is that the smell OF the earth Is
desirable by the snakes. and that the
smell which the animals acquire about
buildings Is Objectionable.
