He L. the Deadly anenxEsf. Every
PoisonOus Re1sile. rs
f OF all kind provisions Of nature per-
haps the manner fn'whieh snakes are
brought into the world IL the most re-
markable. As rule all harmless
snakes are Matched from eggs, arriY-
ing in patches from thirty to eighty.
The poisonous snakes, on the other
hand, are bonn In filters of from seven
to eleven in number. There are ex-
ceptiens to the rule, of course, but
they are few and unimportant, for,
though the deadly king cobra lays her
eggs to be =hatehed-by the sum- they
are few in number. unlike the colonies
deposited by the harmless snakes. 20
Ch1ef among the enemies of the
snakes are the reptiles themselves.
Cannibalism is general among the crea-s
lures, the smaller snake serving as
food to the larger one. But chief of all
snakes that hunt their own kind for
the pleasure Of slaughter is the long,,
slender king snake, constructor by
habit and fash in his movements.
Among all reptiles the king snake,
alone may truly be said to be the
friend Of man. He is found through
out the whole south, where the rattler
and moccasin abound, summing himself
and preying for slaughter. Picked up
by human hand, the reptile seems
pleased with the touch. He makes
no effort to escape, but twines about
his captor's arm and makes himself
comfortable. -
To the rattlesnake and to every 9th.
er dangerous snake, large or small,
the king snake is terror. The poison
Of a RATHER has no more effect on him
than so much moonshine. Instructive
ly the RATHER knows his match and at
sight of king snake tries to escape.
If possible. In fight the king snake re-
lies wholly upon his incredible speed
II the movements of an ordinary snake
seem quick to the human eye, the
movements Of a king snake world
seem instantaneous ina twinkle the
long, lank fellow has wound himself,
about the throat of an antagonist and.
his sinewy coils closing about the 9th,
er's throat, chokes the wind out Of
him.-New York Times. Cg
