place for the night and use the park

sIuffinq Among the Reptiles.

The ancient practice of blufting lie
not limited to the human species. Va
rious animals pretend TO be worse than
they are. The hog-nosed snake Is q
perfectly harmless little fellow, with
no capacities in the way of poison
and yet this reptile, which is rather
pretty, is given such sinister names
as hat-headed adder and sand viper
and is usually killed on sight This
is because it has the habit of tlatten
ing its head and putting out its neck
and kissing violently, which is for nc
other purpose than to frighten off in
t-uders. II is a plain bluff, to give
the impression that the reptile has
poison fangs. This counterfeit is usu-
ally taken at its true value, and af-
fords the hog -nosed snake consider
able protection except in the case OF
human beings, who destroy the limo
cent reptile on sight, when it is not
only harmless but useful also in keep
ing down vermin.

USED BY ANCIENT PHYSICIAN
Graeco-Roman Medical and Surgical
instruments of Bronze Now in
Johns Hopkins University.

William II Buckler, who served on
the STAFF OF the American embassy in
London during the war, has presented
to the Archeologist museum of Johns
Hopkins university. of which he was
former trustee, a set of ancient Graeco-
Roman medical and surgical mstru-
nentS found two years ago near kulo-
phon, in Asia Minor.
The collection was on exhibition in
London and was formerly in the pos
session of the late Alfred .. Van Len
nep, Dutch vice consul in Smyrna who
owned Il large estate near Kolophon
and was wen acquainted with the ex-
caVations and discoveries in that vi
entity.
Tie Instruments, Sc In number. are
all of bronze, with but one exception.
They were probably the property of
some Roman physician living in Asia
Minor in the first or second century A.
d., and the fact that they were all
found in one place Is doubtless ex-
planned, in tile opinion of experts, by
the ancient custom of burymg a per
sons worldly possessions with him.
The set includes surgical knives and
elevators, forceps. teuacula (sharp
hoollS), n unique drill bow, for use in
injuries aud diseases OF the skull,
scoops. probes and a cautery.
The drill bow is, from the point of
view Of the archeologist, perhaps the
most interesting object. 1t IS like
tool used by carpenters.
