Alon the Upper Brazos and in Western Texas, where flourish the horned frog, is the strangest snake known to naturalists. He is sometimes called the tLia. snake. He is from two to four fect long, with a striped back. He is not poisonous. His way of defending himself when attacked by a powerful foe is similar to that of the 'possum or skunk. Instead of fighting back he breaks into a dozen pieces, and every piece distinct in itself, lies ap- garcntly dead on the ground. omctimes the pieces, arc a foot apart. When the foe disappears the pieces gradually come togeth er, unite into one snake and crawl off. The naturalist will naturally ask if the pieces are cntirelv irm. rated. I answer they are. No film or tender holds them togeth er. You. can chop the ground with an axe" between the pieces. Mr. H. Edwards, whose post office address is Montgomery, Alabama, showed me one of these snakes at Waco. He still ha it alive, and will prove with the living snake or by answering a letter from any naturalist the ac curacy of this story. The glass snake which MnEdwards showed me had lost. the tip of iu tail. When I asked the owner how that happened, he said : Thc snake went to pieces one day and before it got together a hungry kingsnakc, which I still have, swallowed the tail." Mr. Ed wards has several kinirsnakes. Like the glass-snake, they are not poisonous; still they kill the largest snakes in the bottoms. They make a spring at a large snake or rabbit, coil instantly a round its neck and strangle it choke it to death. A kingsnake five feet long will strangle a dog or rattlesnake. The only snake able to defend itself against the kingsnakc is the glass-snake. When the kingsnake springs at the glass-snake the class-snake breaks into pieces and its foe might as well try to strangle a basket of clothes-pins or a pail ful of sardines. Here is a dialogue between a clergyman and a traveler: C I t lost my portmanteau. T. I pity your grief ! C, All my sermons arc in it ! T. -I pity the thief! ' Why is a turnpike toll gate like a dead doc's tail ? Because . it stops a waggin.
