A naturalist in Virginia encountered
q desirable specimen OF blacksnakt
which he wanted for his collection. AS
usual in such cases the snake saw hin

escape observation.
Directly in front of the naturalist
lay wide open space. The naturalist
knew that he could easily overtake
the blacksnake before 1t could reach
the bushes opposite. The blacksnake
too, seemed to be cogniZant of this
fact, inasmuch as the man had not
taken half a dozen steps in its dlrec
tion before it changed its tactics and
some ten feet away, turned and
charged its hunter.
The man spread his legs and stoop
ed to catch the snake. But the black
snake displayed such agility that be
fore the hunter could determine Just
where to grasp 1t the snake was ten
feet away.
1t was evident that the blacksnake
expected the man to fee. as no doubt
1t had seen other men flee under such
circumstances. The snake was some
seven feet in length and although
quite harmless looked formidable
enough to brighten the average man
AS its hunter did not fee the snake

time it swerved from its course when

the soft bed of leaves at the hunters
feet the man threw himself upon the
serpent and succeeded in catching 1t.
Even then the blacksnake did not
lose its head. but by an unexpected
movement managed to fasten enc Of
its teeth in a finger, inflicting deep
scratches.
The naturalist kept this snake for
nearly two months. 1t proved to be
the most intractable of blacksnakes.
