-THE-
New York, March 9. Opening
the door of a reptile cage in the
Bronx Zoo today, George Snyder,
head keeper, was transfixed with
terror as a puff adder, one of the
most veneraous snakes, swung from
the door gratiug on his arm. Swift
as a flash the deadly adder swung
its coils about Snyder's arm a:id
hung there, it head swelling with
anger and its beady eyes glittering.
Realizing thata wound from the
fangs of the snake would mean
practically instant d ath, the keeper
stood absolutely motionless, fearing
to make the slightest sound to call
for aid from the other keepers in
the reptile house. Snyder kept his
eyes fixed immovably on the snake,
fearing that if he took his gaze from
the snake for a moment it might
bury its fangs in his arm.
As he looked into the beady eyes
of the adder, Snyder felt with a new
thrill of horror that he was swiftly
sinking into a hypnotic spell under
the mysterious influence of the rep
tile's power to charm. The terror
stricken man was on the point of
sinking to the floor, paralyzed with
fright, when John Tomev, a keeper
noticed his rigid position and start- j American Office.
ed toward Snyder. W ith a horse
hair lariat, winch is used to snare
snakes, Tomey cautiously approach
ed and with a dexterous fling of the
oop over the nuff adder s head, now
swollen to three times its original
size, caught the snake and in a mo
ment or two had it in the cage.
bnyder was so weakened by the
terrible experience that he was tak
en into Curator Ditmar's office,
where he revived after a short time,
but his nerve was so shaken that he
was relieved from duty for the rest
of the day.
