SNAKES EGG MATCHING.
Tip on Reptiles Shout With Which II
Breaks Its Way Out.

Because of the popular aversion
to the serpent family there is a sur
prising amount of ignorance about
even the simplest of snake habits.
1t is doubtful if many correct an
swers could be given to the ques-
ton whether snakes lay eggs or
bear their young alive. AS a mat
ter of fact, some species are vivip-
arous and others oviparous. Most
of the poisonous snakes as well as
many Of the harmless varieties be-
long to the former class.
The European ring snake is close
ly allied to our common water snake
and goes by the scientific name Tro-
pidonotus natrix. Curiously enough,
all other members of the genus tro-
pidonotus are viviparous, and this
species alone lays eggs. Further
more, according to Gadow's sam
phibia and Reptiles" the new laid
eggs usually show not the slightest
visible sign of an embryo unless
opposition is delayed, when the en-
bryos are more or less developed.
The eggs are laid in July or Au-
gust in a soft bed of loan or de-
caying vegetation or in a heap of
manure. The older snakes some
times lay as many as a dozen eggs
or more, and they usually stick to-
gether, so that the entire cluster
can be picked up at once. Some
times, however, if the process of
laying is slow, they will be separat-
ed. The eggs are about an inch
long and of a whitish yellow color.
The shell is thin and flexible, like
parchment.
The young hatch in late summer
or autumn. Before Matching they
develop a sharp calcareous growth
on the tip of the snout, known as
the egg tooth, with which the shell
is slit open. Unlike Matching
chicks, which are suddenly dispo>-
sessed by the breaking of their
brittle shells, the young snakes
make many missions in tie parch-
ment envelopes and take many
peeps at the outside world before
forth into the new cnyi-
ronment. Shortly after hatchinr
the egg tooth is lost.
At first the young live on insects
and worms, but within a few weeks
they are strong enough to attack
md devour young frogs. Strangely
although the adults are
strong swimmers and spend much
line in ponds and streams hunting [
he fish and frogs on which they
ubsist, the young are unable to
win, and they will soon drown il {

EFFECTIVE TIME TEST.
The Way Clever Lawyer Won a Yer.
dict For His Client.

/
An interesting example of dra-
matte appeal to human experience
during a trial and conclusive test
of the appeal closed case tried in
western court.
The plaintiff was suing a railway
for damages to a building which
had been set on fire, it was alleged,
by sparks from a locomotive.
Counsel for the road based his
defense on the ground that, since
the fire was seen by employees on
the train and the train was in the
station only four minutes, the fire
must therefore have been set be-
fore the engine pulled into the sta
ton. -Four minutes, he contended,
constituted a period not long
enough for a fire to start and get
under way.
On the other hand, counsel for
the plaintiff argued in this wise:
If a young man, sitting on a sofa
with his best girl, is holding her
hand the time travels like an ex-
press train. But if you dump lot
of sparks on the pine roof of dry
building in summer four minutes
is ample to settle the fate of the
structure despite all efforts to save
it.
There were some increduous
smiles at this. The attorney took
out his watch and, handing it to
the foreman of the jury, requested
him to announce the termination
of period of four minutes.
The jurymen leaned over and |
looked at the watch. Then they
got tired and settled back in their
seats. The foreman of the jury
lowered his hand as the signal Of
the beginning of the four minutes
and then rested it on his knee. The
attorney shifted his feet few times
md sat down. The judge looked at
he clock awhile and then gazed
lbstractedly out of the window. A
deputy marshal looked in at the
loor to see what was the matter
md patiently awaited the result of
he curious scene. Nearly every
nan in the courtroom had a watch I
n his hand, carefully studying the c
ace of it. The counsel for the I
'laintiff was sacrificing four min 4
ties Of his time. But he felt that e
hey were well invested. b
At last the foreman of the jury
nnounced the termination of the I
est. To every person in the room C
he four minutes had seemed at 2
east twice as long. The Judge t.
imself afterward said that it seem r
d something like fifteen. The or a
cal had the effect upon the jury c
nat the attorney had calculated. il
was an object lesson, a striking c,
of what might hap a.
en- in four minutes. ia
Accordingly the jury found that te
lie defendants engine had suffi- cl
ent time in which to fire the 10
hiding and that the fire had am
e time in which to get under way W
I'd create blaze which the men tr
the train could see. A verdict d,
