several battalions from Double Hump Hill. but
their movements lacked decision. The Russians
opened fire from Poutiloff lone Tree Hill and
a neigfboring eminence. Several shells burst in
the midst of the advancing japanese columns
and quickly checked them. The japanese also
tried a turning operation at Chanlindza, but
there. also, they were dispersed.

laroused, and, leaving your horse, you will, by approaching cautiously, wit
 ness something very similar to the fol-
 lowing scene: Apparently the knowl-
 edge of the extreme danger with which
 rattlesnake meals are accomplished is sufficient to keep all the runners fucul- ties centered on the intended victim,
 and hence an approach of ths ordna- rily alert bird s more easily accom- plished than would be possible under lany other conditions. To those to whom the scene is unfamiliar the first thought after noticing the absorbed in-
 terest of the bird, is to look for the an- imal or object which is the cause of this concentration.
 A rattlesnake will generally prefer to Isleep extended, particularly if the heat lof the sun is not sufficient to blister, and it is probable that you will see a
 dark form much resembling the broken limb of a bush stretched out upon the tsand. Or it is possible you notice a
 dark circle, like round powder, where the snake lies coiled and vigilant, yet Iseorning to take active notice of the in- dustrious bird, which labors with the cacti almost within striking distance. Perhaps he may purr his rattle lazily If the runner should approach closer Ithan he thinks the etiquette of the prairie should allow, but as it comes N but once into the life of a snake to have Ian encounter with this creature he does not consider it possible that these delib- crate preparations are in any way in- tended as threat to his kingship. The
 roadrunner, working with all the speed that the delicate nature of the task will
 allow, gradually completes a cactus hedge around his victim, and when sat Iisfied that there are no gaps through which the snake can escape, he will re- treat to some elevated bush or rock close at hand, from which point he will overlook his work and contemplate the chances he is about to takeI
 After a few minutes thus spent he ev- Iidently determines that there is some thing lacking in his architecture and he will return to the ground to strengthen | his wall, doubling in some places, ir others stacking the cacti bulbs higher l--these labors, of course, being per

 mind suggests to him he will strut

fort to coil himself. Each faWn will now repeat the action of the stag and If the snake yet moves the circuit will be repeated, until, by the stiffness of the remnants, the deer are satisfied that life is extinct. For the final deei- zion as many deer as are in the herd will stand with their heads together, looking at the cropse, until the stag gives a signal whistle and away they bound, the pace to their destination ap- parently accelerated by the joy of vic- tory. This is about the mode of proce- dUre by which deer will kill a snake. Sometimes but one animal takes part, but always there are the same general actions.
 The badger, yellow, fiat digger of the plains, thinks that rattler meat is a toothsome morsel and this is reason enough for his destruction of the snake. His method of procuring the delicacy in the summer time is to steal upon the snake stretched in his sleep and, with one quick snap of his teeth, to seize 1t just behind the head. It is a death grip for one or both. If his hold is one inch too far either way the badger is gone; if he has got the head the com pression of his jaws drives the poisoned fangs into his own mouth, if the grp is too far from these death-dealing sacs the snake will fasten his fatal teeth in the badgers lips or jowl. Whether the blow is true or false both must be ter rified-the snake at being unexpected ly seized in the terrible grip, the badger at having those loathsome coils wrap ping and unwrapping about his neck and head.
 l When the snake s struggles subside the badger destroys the head. the body being carried underground to share with his mate. In the winter badgers undoubtedly unearth snakes that are hibernating, as can be demonstrated whenever you may happen to kill a badger in a snake country during the colder months. There are also the ea- gle and some hawks who prey on the lrattler. The fact is considered worthy of conmemoratien in the flag of the re- public of Mexico. Men are familiar with the manner in which an eagle will suddenly swoop like flash from an apparently clear sky, wrap a talon around the neck of sleeping snake land, without touching the earth, soar again aloft. As you watch the bird you notice that he dpops his prize and you think it was done accidentally; but no. this is the eagles method of destroying | life, and, with his booty regained, he bears it ao some craggy fastness to be Idevoured. d.-Los Angeles (Cal.)
