WEATHER

HI, not quite so cold;
p ' .a'ne' Friday
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-04-16

II. B. May, M. D., of Stockdale,
Texas, sends us another interesting
letter on snakes for which we thank
him. He says:
"A few days ago the writer report
ed that two men here had witnessed
the phenomena of snakes swallowing
their young, in both instances the
rattle snake. Since that report have
interviewed two other men who said
they had seen the same thing and in
one instance two men witnessed Incl
dent at, the same time. In each in
stance the men stated that the mother
snake made a peculiar noise and the
baby snakes lost no time in going
right in her mouth. All of these four
men are personally and intimately
known to the writer and none of them
are in the habit of drinking to excess,
so therefore, If men are to believe
their eyes, it must be a fact.
when we take into account the
fact that very small snake can
swallow relative large object, the
feat would not be out of the range of
possibility.
another very curious thing has
been reported here in regard to the
so-called chicken snake, from the fact
that they catch small chickens and
steal eggs from the nests, is that the
chicken snakes have been known to
swallow an ordinary porcelain door
knob, no doubt thinking that it was
an egg. The door knobs are placed
in the nest as nest eggs and when Mr..
Snake comes along and there are no
real eggs in the nest he just puts him
self or herself as the case may be,
around the door knob with the re-
suit that the snake soon dies because
the door knob, of course will not di-
gest, and the snake is also badly
handicapped in moving about It
| seems to me that it would be much
| more difficult for a snake to swallow
| a door knob that it would be to swal-
low young snakes. However, it has
been reported on good authority that
the snakes have been found dead
with the door knob inside the snake
and other snakes have been killed
and cut open to see what was caus-
ing the lump ana it was found that
the lump was a door knob.
1T has also been repor ted that
snake cannot hypnotic a bird or
small animal. Well, call it what you
will, charming, fascinating or hypno-
tizing, a snake can catch a bird by
simply waiting for the bird to come
in reach without any effort on the
part of the snake more than Just
turning his head from side to side in
unison with the movements of the
bird. At the start of the perform
ance the bird may be several feet
away from the snake, but it seems to
be attracted towar dthe snake by
som ierresitsible force that brings it
nearer and nearer to the snake until
the snake is able to strike out and
seize the apparently helpless bird. The
bird will hope about from side to
side, up and down, but all the time
it gradually comes nearer to the
snake, while the snake does not seem
to be anxious to persue the bird and
just plays a waiting game until the
bird comes in reach"

ed by Clark Kinnaird.

ANSWERS

1. Only since 1901 has the state had
a general law against kidnapping. The
penalty Is at the discretion of the
court, not to exceed twenty years i'm
prisonment
q Rev. Alex Stewart, of st. Thomas
Church, Bath, wrote London author
tiles under date of October 10, 176O,
giving an account of the number of
persons he had baptized. He explained
that he had baptized one by emersion
only to keep people from falling off
from our Church, that this person 81
some others not mentioned, have been
baptized In that way by me, for of
late years this province is over run
with people that at first called them
selves anabaptists."
3. BY act of the legislature of 1891
which created the Soldiers Home AS
ISOLATION. At the same time the State
gave the association the Camp Rus
sell property, formerly known as Pet
tigrew Hospital while it was in use as
such during the war
4. This church to which Daniel
Boone's family belonged, located at
the Forks of the Yadkin, about year
before the Declaration of Independ-
ence at Philadelphia, made the fol-
lowing entry in the minute book: "At
the monthly meeting it was agreed
upon concerning the American Cause,
If any of the brethren see cause TO
join 1t they have the liberty to do it
without being called to an account by
the church. But whether they join or
do not join they should be used with
brotherly love-"
y 5. 1t is said that the ship was nam
ed for both Governor Vance and Mrs.
Vance, whose name was Adelaide.
6. A few years ago while the late
Dean S. F. Mordecai was head of the
Duke Law School, he received an in
vitation from a former law student
inviting him to come to Oxford to
hear his first speech as a defense at
torney in a murder case. Dean Nor
decai replied that he was sorry he
could not come to Oxford to hear the
speech, but he would wait and go to
the hanging
