CURIOUS TRAP FOR SNAKES
Naturalist Tells Of Seeing Biscuit
Can Used BY Natives to Cap
ture a Cobra

A naturalist tells us Of an odd
kind OF snake trap that caught its
victim securely. II was biscuit can.
and in the bottom Of II were some
macsroons.
A cobra spied the can. but mouse
was ahead of the cobra The little
thief was having a good time regal
ing himself on the macaroons, all I'M
conscious that & snake was preparing
to regals itself on mouse. Into the
can went the head OF the snake. but
the head that went In was destined TO
come out less easily. The rough edges
Of the can irritated the cobra, and IN
voluntarily II dilated its hood That
made It a prisoner With the hood
dilated the head could not be with
drawn, and the cobra remained in its
tin prison until morning. when It was
easily captured and killed
Stradling, who knows the natives
Of India as well as he knows the
snakes OF that land. tells OF an in
teresting theory held by these peo-
pie They are firmly convinced that
for every human being a snake bites
it loses one joint. When the number
OF deaths the snake has caused equals
the number OF it's joints. the veDomous
head alone remains. The snake has
now reached the height Of its wicked
desires. and at this point It develops
wings and triunphantly disappears
An exception to this rule is found
on the other side OF the world. in
the case of the rattlesnake. for the
natives OF many parts Of this country
are said to believe that this snake
gains thimble for every man It kills
By counting these some folks pretend
to an ability to calculate With pre-
cision how many persons a particular
rattlesnake has bitten But this is
Of course, as great a superstition AZ
that held by the Hindus.
