SNAKE h\\ ALLOWED GLASS NEST EGGS Today's Ripley: A number of years ago. back wlien glass nest eggs Were quite a novelty. V. C. Faker, uncle of M A Fortenberry, moved to California He saw some of tlie glass eggs and sent back to his sister, Mrs. For tenberry. She placed them in hen-nests about the barnyard and for got them. Several months later two or three of tlie glass eggs were missing. Mrs. Fortenberry figured that some of the children had taken them out to play with and lost them Six months after they disap peared. Cullen Fortenberry, then about 15, saw a hole in a tree and dug Into it hoping to pull out a possum. Instead lie drew out a snake about six feel long. The snake was emaciated and looked as if it had been through the throes of galloping "TO''. When killed it was found that Ute snake had swallowed a couple of the glass nest-eggs and had not been able to digest them. Now you tell one.
