CAT AND SNAKE FIGHT.
How Pussy Vanquishes the Most
Poisonous Reptile.
From the Scotsman.

From the Scotsman.
The fer-de-lance is one of the most
deadly poisonous snakes in the world.
II is common in Brazil and some of the
West Indian islands, and was particu-
larly so in the forests of Martinique,
now destroyed by the volcano. The
head is fiat and triangular the length
five to seven feet, a horny spike on the
end of the tail that rasped against hard
objects. The bite is almost instantly
fatal, and even when immediate death
is averted serious, and eventually fatal,
troubles may set in.
The creature which fears the monster
least is the brave cat. Seeing a snakee,
she at once carries her kittens to
place of safety. then boldly advances to
the encounter. She will walk to the
very limit of the serpent's striking
range and begin to feint, teasing him,
startling him, trying to draw his blow.
moment more and the triangular
head. Kissing from the coil, flashes
swift as If moved by wings. But
swifter still the stroke of the armed
paw that dashes the horror aside,
ninging it mangled in the dust.
Nevertheless, pussy does not yet dare
to spring; the enemy, still active, has
almost instantly reformed his coil; but
she is again in front of him, watching,
vertical pupil against vertical pupil.
Again the lashing stroke again the
beautiful countering; again the living
death is hurled aside. and now the
scaled skin is deeply torn. one eye
socket has ceased To flame, Once more
the stroke of the serpent: once more
the light, quick, cutting blow. But the
trlgonocephalus is blind, is stupefied;
before he can attempt to coil pussy has
leaped upon him, mailing the horrible
fiat head to the ground with her two
snewy paws. Now let him lash, writhe,
twine, strive to strangle her. In vain!
He will never lift his head: an instant
more and he lies still; the keen white
teeth of the cat have severed the ver-
zebra, just behind the triangular skull.
