LIaht on Habits of Snakes.

The popular theories regarding the
cobra's musical ear. and the snakes
power of fascinating birds. are upset
by statement made the other day by
Professor Barnard who has been study
ing this species of snake in Ceylon.
The serpent's traditional love for
music is a pure fable, he says. The
only effect of music is to arouse the
reptiles curiosity, which is excited by
any loud and acute sound. The cobra
protrudes it's head from its burrow
alike on hearing the snake charmer's
flute, the rafting of chain. or the
sounds made by beating the ground
with a switch. Barnard also con-
cludes that the power Of fascination
upon birds is purely imaginary.

of doubt.
Il have no question about It," re-
turned Keith, conclusively. THE man
was Waite's size and general appear
ance, with gray beard, similar to the
one I remember he wore during the
war. He had been scalped, and his
face beaten beyond recognition, but
papers in his pockets were sufficient
to prove his identity. Besides. he and
his companions young fellow named
Sibley-were known to have pulled out
