How Snakes Fasctnate.

The cobra of the Cape fascinates
birds by coiling itself on q branch,
erecting its head and swinging to and
fro. SundoWner states that the snake
will go on fascinating and keeping
the bird wittering and unable to leave
the tree in which it is s'for hours and
that if the bird is driven away it comes
back. This may bea yarn" but from
the curious fascination which nonter-
rifying objects such as 'lark glitters,"
have for some birds and their apparent
Inability to resist lowering around the
lure the far greater mesmerizing power
of the serpent may be conjectured
Movement, more or less regular, is al
ways part Of the means Of fascination
employed by snakes. Their fondness
for music of any kind is not extended
to the sound of the human voice sing
ing, which snakes clearly do not appre-
ciate at all. They only care for in
strumental music, :" which includes the
concertina. tonltom and Jews harp.
But from experiments made in this
country it was evident that they like
the bagpipes best.Spectator #
