HAS ONLY ONE REAL FOE

The warm rays OF Old Sol at this sea,

trees. shrubs and flowers to vie with
one another in beauty and Fragrance.
but call into activity other life-1that OF
the snake, 10 which man and woman
kind, since the Garden OF Eden period,
have had an Unborn antipathy.
Every one is perfectly well aware
Nenomous serpentS-we have many Of
them in the United States-the RATHER,
for example, but probably no other spot
in the known world has such a death
dealing reptile as has the French island
of Martinique, nesting in the lmpd
blue waters of the Caribbean sea, and
where a few years ago Mont Pelee, in
an outburst of gaseous Miniature, sent
over 5000 souls into eternity.
II is the fer-de lance, scientifically
known ''Trigonocephalus lanceolatus
that can, beyond the shadow OF a doubt,
lay claim to being the most deadly SER
pent of the earth. Its sting means al
most certain death.
There are eight distinct varieties, the
most common being dark gray and
black speckled. which coloring enables
il to conceal itself easily among roots
and stumps of trees. Another variety
is clear, bright yellow. anu wnen MD
den in the freshly cut cane can hardly
be distinguished from the stalks. IL
may also be a dark yellow or coal black
with a yellow belly.
