LIaht on Habits Of Snakes.

The popular theories regarding the
cobra's musical ear, and the snskes
power OF fascinating birds. are upset
by a 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 its head from its burrow
alike on hearing the snake charmers
flute, the rafting Of a chain, or the
sounds made by bee6ing the ground
with a switch. Barnard also con-
cludes that the power OF fascination
upon birds is purely imaginary.

RED HAIR WAS NEW TO THEM
INDIANS for a Long Time insisted
That White Mans Scalp Must
Have Been Painted.

Forty years ago the Indians In
Colorado knew but little OF the white
man. and nothing hardly of his ways
or habits except from tradition.
Among the people who went to set
tie In Colorado at that time was a
man with very red hair. He and his
party were thrown among the In
dams, who thought nj nrst that his
hair vas painted. JUS - they paint
Cd their own bodies and faces.
An old chief came up 10 him one
day and looked at his hair very care
fully.
UGH" said he.
And then. turning to the interpreter
who had the party in charge. he
wanted him TO ask the man where he
got the kind Of paint that would color.
and yet not be greasy or look dabby.
He was told that the mans hair was
not painted, but he would not believe
Il. He once more walked up to the
man and scrutinized his locks, run
ming bis hand through them and look
ms 1t his fingers.
The red,haired man became little
nervous. and half fAncied that the
chief was calculating how nice red
scalp would look hung to his belt.
The interpreter. however. laushingiy
told the man what the chief had said.
TwoNor three more Of the Indians
then gathered around the party. and
they and tho interpreter had q pow

the man II he would object to putting
water on his hair
He saw the Indians would not be
lisve but that It was painted. until
they saw that the water would not
wash the color out The man took
some water, rubbed It on his hair
and then showed his hands to them.
But 1t took four or five days OF won

that he had not found some peculiar
