WARY OLD BLACkSNAKE
GAVE NATURALIST A MERRY
TIME BEFORE It's CAPTURE.
Every Device, From Flight to Open
Defiance Resorted To - Finally
Shaken From Tree Top II
Continues Resistance.

A naturalist In Virginia encountered
desirable specimen Of blacksnake
which he wanted for his collection. AS
usual in such cases the snake saw him
tiest, 1t lay perfectly quiet. trusting TO
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 dozen steps in its direc-
tion b<sore it changed its tactics and,
some ten feet away. turned and
charged It's 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 it the snake was ten
, feet away.
1t was evident that the blacksnake
expected the man to fee, as no doubt
II had seen other men fee under such
circumstances. The snake was some
seven feet in length and although
| quite harmless looked formidable
enough to brighten the average man.
AS It's hunter did not fee the snake
turned about and again charged. This
time 1t swerved from It's course wher
| 1t saw that the man was standing his
ground. This deviation IN the snakes
rush got 1t into some bushes. Here it
coiled after the manner of rattle
snake
1t elevated its tail and vibrated it
with great rapidity and, striking the
leaves and twigs, managed 10 produce
| q buzzing sound not unlike the warn
ing OF a rather At the same lime It
drew back its head as ii ready to
strike. @
The man continued to ad~ance: so
the snake once more changed its tee
tics. 1t began TO doge in and out Of
the bush The maneuyeriug c9nsinu-
ed for perhaps ten minutes. Then The
man, seeing good opportunity. rush
ed forward to secure his prize
4 The blacksnake mounted through
the bushes to their tops and went
from the tops to the lower branches
Of small birch. 1t continued to
mount upward and made rs way to
| the swaying tip. some Is feet in the
| air. performing the feat as quickly as
a squirrel could have done It.
| From this elevated position tho
blaeksuake surveyed the man in trl.
umph. But its exuitation was snort
| lived. for a vigorous shake oil the Tree
brought it down, and as it fell upon
| the soft bed Of leaves at the hunters
feet the man threw himself upon the
serpent and succeeded in catching 1t.
Even then the backsnale did not
lose it's head, but by an unexpected
movement managed to fa5ten one Of
its teeth in finger, infiicting deep
scratches.
The naturalist kept this snake for
nearly two months 1t proved to be
| the most intractable of blacksnakes.
| Whenever the naturalist took 1t in
| his hands 1t would exhibit much in
genuity In its attempts to escape.
