Hooded Snakes.

The hoods Of snakes were unques-
tionabiy intended by nature to act as
weapons of intimidation, for when sud
denly opened, as they are during the
excitement Of contest. these give
their owners an apparent and formida-
bic enlargement But the hoods which
have been so useful at some period in
snake history have now become so en-
larged as to tend toward the extinction
of their owners. just as the override
velopment in the tusks of prehistoric
animals led straight to their destruc-
ton. During Il fight the hooded snake
in the act of striking his foe suffers
from the outstretched and weighty
hood-he overbalances himself and top
pies forward. His assailant. the mon
goose and some birds specially. seizes
him when PROSTATE and, ripping VI
the back Of the neck, speedily dis
patches him.

wait to make notes for the Psychical
society but gave the danger signal and
was at once pulled up. Told in the
cheerful light of day, 1t seemed rather
a lame story. and another diver went
