Hooded Snakes.

The hoods of snakes were un-
questionably intended by nature to
act as weapons of intimidation, for
when suddenly opened, as they are
during the excitement of a contest,
these give their owners an apparent
and formidable enlargement. But
the hoods which have been SO use
ful at some period in snake history
have now become so enlarged as to
tend toward the extinction of their
owners, just as the overdeveiopment
in the tusks Of prehistoric animals
led straight to their destruction.
During a fight the hooded snake in

In Alaska there are many lights

months without relilling OF any at
