Our most exciting experience with
snakes happened on the third day after
our arrival. We were running out a
line of traps for small mammals, such
as meadow mice, moles and shrews,
near a rail fence. Thompson was new
at the business and handled the small
wire traps rather clumsily. He had
just set a trap near the end of a rail,
one end of which had fallen to the
ground, and it was sprung several
times while he handled it. We rdi-
culed him for being such a. butter fin

right now" Almost with the same
breath he gasped: Great Scott Look
at that snake!" We both looked, and
there, coiled snugly not two feet from
where he had been kneeling for fully
two minutes, was an enormous dia-
mond-back RATHER. 1 did not wonder
that he turned white. The reptile
could easily have buried its fangs in
his body: but. instead, it was calm
spectator of the mans clumsiness. Had
it struck him, death would have been
certain, for we were fully fifteen miles
from doctor, and had no medicine but
preserving specimens.
Thompson took my gun, and, wishing
not to ruin the specimen, backed away
a few PAGES and fired. His experience
had so unnerved him. however, that
only one shot struck the tip of the
snakes nose. 1 crept up Stealthily, and,

SNAKES IN GEORGIA.
Some Alleged Adventures With Mon
ster RattIers.


New York. May 23.-During one
spring. in company with two other field
naturalists. I spent several weeks in
Southern Georgia in the interest of a
prominent American museum. I have
collected all through Northern Mexico
and all but three states and territories
of the United States. but never have
seen such a paradise for snakes as that
spot proved to be. The exact locality
was Riceboro, Liberty county.
While our work was mainly devoted
to collecting birds and mammals, we
preserved reptiles and batrachians
also. We were stopping with family
of Georgia crackers" the only white
residents in the locality. They gave
us accommodations in a large vacant
store and placed a double bed in it for
all three of us.
To the blacks we were objects of
great curiosity from the time they
first learned of our business. One of
them asked if we wanted any snakes,
and receiving an affirmative answer,
he replied, "Lord'y massa, dey's shu'
nuf' snakes heah to fill barrel in a
day. dey shu' is"
While not literally true, we found
that his assertion was not far from

when it renewed it's struggles, and the
tail broke off. The body portion wig
gled away while the other piece dis
appeared down Mr.. Kings throat
The king snake was not satisfied.
He began hunting about the barrel
crawling over his companions without
paying the slightest attention to them,
but when he came to the glass snake,
he dived at it, but missed; again he
hunted out the object of his search and
this time captured it. Another struggle
of a few minutes, and the glass snake
was so far conquered that it made
10 resistance, and the king resumed
his meal. 1t was evident to us that
the glass snake was too large for the
king to devour, so we watched the
unique midnight banquet with intense
interest, and commented on what
would happen when the king" discov-
cred that his gluttonouS eyes were
larger than his stomach.
He was making good Roadway; every
time he worked his jaws the glass
srake slowly slid down, until the pro-
ceedings suddenly were brought to an
abrupt end. The two parts had met.
and the process of swallowing could
not continue. Yet there were about
six inches of glass snake to be dis
posed of. Vainly the king" strove to
gorge the remainder The two parts
refused to telescope. After a short In
terval the body portion was disgorged
and we took the unfortunate glass
snake. which was still very much alive,
and killed it.
Several negro boys spent much time
watching us skin specimens. None OF
them knew of our ''snakery' until
sent one of them to the barrel on the
pretence of getting roll of cotton. He
locked in, gave yell, and dashed out
of the building, never tC return.
Two of the same crowd volunteered
to catch several water moccaSins. We
gave them a few yards of snare wire,
and they started. About SHUTDOWN they
returned. grinning from ear to ear
Each had a large moccasin dangling
from a moose at the end of a long pole
AS soon as they laid the snakes on the
ground we had them in our hands and
were busy untwisting the tangled
wires. 'I.ordy! Lordy massa! they'll
kill we shut" the boys shouted and
they rushed down the road as fast as
their bare feet could carry them Three
days later they returned for their pay,
