This department probably has NO
business in the Joint snake symposium
now being conducted by the Lawrencs
Journal and Kansas City Star. but as
neither the Journal nor the Star seems
to know much about the reptile. we
herewith tender some authoritative in
formation. The joint snake Is a crawl
Ing thing. varying in length from six
10 fifteen inches. and In It's general
appearance more nearly resembles a
lizard than a snake In color It is a
dull yellow. with minute stripes OF pea
green. and It's skin is glazed and trans.
parent, differing in that respect from
all true members OF the snake family.
There is nothing in the theory that
the Joint snake flies TO pieces when hit
with a stick. and that Il afterward
crawls about collecting and marshal.
ing in their proper order the dismem.
bcred portions OF its anatomy. This
theory is as fictitious as one concern
ing the disposition OF the hoop snake
to take its tail in It's mouth and 90
rolling about the country. As a mat.
ter OF fact. the Joint snake has but
one Joint. located az point two-thirds
the length OF It's body. measuring from
the head. Any sort OF rough treat
ment will dislocate this Joint A hard
blow from a stick directed at the prop
or spot viii do it. or the two sections
OF the body may be separated by a
simple twist OF the wrist. which was
esteemed the proper method when we
we're boy. Dismemberment appar-
entity causes the Joint snake no trouble
or inconvenience. and produces no
wound or confusion. when released
the head OF the snake runs away and
hides in the grass. its natural habi-
tat. leaving the caboose end to its own
devices. and Il does not come back
later and pick up the dismembered
fragment whether the Joint snake
dies as a result OF the treatment or
grows a new tail and lives happily
ever after Is a matter In controversy
which has never been satisfactorily set
tied. The joint snake Is perfectly harm
less, being equipped with no Weapons
either OF oifense or defense. The writ.
