fed. the only drawback being that none
of the labelling is In English.
The purpose of this farm, which costs
the Brazilian Government about $4,000
a year, Is not only to- extract the venom
and make serum crystals but to send
out literature and lecturers to teach the
people Of Brazil that all snakes are not
poisonous and that they must learn
which are not so as to- protect them, for
the harmless snakes are helpers In the
effort to exterminate those that are
dangerous 1t was very interesting 10
watch great black mussurama devour
n venomous yellow jararaca, an exhibi-
ton which the students arranged for us
during our visit.
The number of deaths IN Brazil an
nually from snake bites Is given as 1890.
while the number OF accidents Is reck-
oned at 1920.
Brazil is the home of the most
dreaded of snakes, the noted fer-de-
lance. This snake. so often spoken OF
in connection with the Islands of Mar
Unique and st. Lucia, is a native OF
Brazil very common in some parts OF
the country. 1t has an especial liking
for sugar cane fields, and one is seldom
cut without many of these venomous
reptiles being discovered. II was one
of these snakes that bit the Empress
Josephine when she was a child and her
life was saved because a nurse sucked
the poison out.
Most poisonous snakes avoid men. but
not so with this one. 1t takes the initi-
alive, leaps from its hiding place and
bites the passerby, who usually dies
within a few hours. Even II the VIC
TIM RECEIVERS his system Is generally
affected seriously and he may suffer for
years from bOils and ulcers The poison
Of this snake attacks the nervous sys-
tenn producing giddiness and paralysis,
commissions and severe pains around the
heart.
1t Is hard to avoid in It's native haunts,
where i lies curled up under heavy
leaves, or coiled up in some birds nest,
where it has devoured the eggs or the
young. 1t gives no warning by hiss or
rattle Of its presence, but watches its
chance and then strikes with blow as
direct as that of a fencer.
All animals seem To dread this snake.
\ horse will not go within striking dis
lance of ii. The pig seems to be the
only quadruped which Is Indifferent to 1t.
This snake varies in color. but Its
usual tints are olive above with dark
cross bands and whitish gray below,
covered with very minute dark spots
The head Is brown. II Is from five to
six feet long full grown, sometimes
even eight. Its tail is IA horny spine,
which scrapes harshly against rough
objects, but does not rattle. 1t Is of
some use, for it lives mainly on rats,
and thus keeps down the damage done
to the cane by rats.

Snake Farming

Q ERPENT worship and snake charm
- ing are institutions as old as his
tory, and SO long as there have
been snakes. 50 long has man suffered
from their bites and hunted for that
which would cure. But 1t has remained
for modern science to build institutions
to cope with this matter intelligently
and Systematically and for governments
to spend thousands Of dollars annually
that the work of these laboratories may
be carried on and men be able to give
their whole lives to the study OF this
branch Of medicine.
Naturally these institutions exist
where snakes are most abundant. The
serpent is a reptile which loves the sun.
They are about equally distributed
throughout the tropical sections of the
world, and as Brazil and India are the
two largest nations situated in the tor
rid zone 1t is there that are found the
only two government snake farms in
the world; one at Calcutta and the
other in the outskirts of Sac Paulo.
There are no English guides or guide
books ut Sac Paulo. Everything is Por-
tuguese; but If you have a knowledge
OF French, Spanish or German you can

but it has only occupied it's present fine

snakes are kept in this one corral. There
is another in which there are a few
trees around at the side. In all there
are about 1900 live snakes in captivity
