WM. 11 1VKS. n Tliti SL'RUKI KAS. A snake tHat hatched out * BROOD OF CHICKENS. Agent for t>>e Celebrated Newcombe Pianos, For the District of Cobourg Colborne, Brighton an vicinity. She Not Only Hatched Ont Twenty Chick* lint Fed and Protected Them Afterward tlie Manner of the Ordir.tr t* v urd Fowl* The wolf mother suckling human children, Instead of devouring them, bas been outdone (or motherly In­ stinct. One of the fiercest, most poisonous and dangerous fcf serpents has hatched a flock of chickens--twenty of them-- ana to feed and protect them afterward In the manner ol the ordinary barn­ yard fowl. . The hen-snake Is dead. She died In defending her brood against a vorac­ ious pig, the only animal that can safe­ ly cope with a serpent. Mr. V. Hugo, of Espirito Santo, Bra­ sil, who sent her skin to the Anato­ mical and Zoological Museum in Ber­ lin, tells the following story: . The snake that turned hen was a full-grown bushmaster, a reptile of which science knows little. Indeed, after coming to the tropics, I learned that all science pretends to know about the snake is more or less Incorrect and wholly incomplete. The native's name for the monster Is surukukas. The specimen that hatched the chick­ ens wao nearly eighteen feet long and lived on the edge of the forest, a dry and sandy locality. The hen-snake was discovered at her novel occupation by Madam Monzas, a native poultry raiser, who supplies the European colony here. Missing one of her pet fowls, some little time ago, she went to search for it and lo­ cated Its remains, a few tufts of feathers and some drops of blood, near a bush on the edge of the forest. Looking closer she saw a nest, such as straying hens sometimes make for themselves when the mother habit strikes them Madam Monzas was about to take away her supposed prop­ erty when a hissing sound arrested ber steps--and incidentally saved her life. A giant bushmaster was hatching on the chicken eggs snd, observing the intruder, raised its broad, three-corner­ ed head and fixed its fiery dark eyes J>n Madam Monzas, gleaming viciously. It half opened its mouth and thrust forth its long tongue. I was among the investigators, to­ gether with several members of the well-known firm of Franz Myer & Co., and all of us went near enough to the nest to observe that Madam Monzas had told the truth. The bushmaster sitting on the eggs seemed to be one of the giants of its kind and fully ab­ sorbed in the work it had cut out for Itself. I repeated the visit for several af­ ternoons, and on the fourth had the pleasure of witnessing a mother's pride and her childrens' delight. Twenty of the two dozen eggs bad yielded little black and tan chicks, as lively a flock as ever searched for bread crumbs. They hopped about the fierce bush­ master as unconcernedly as if she had been the mildest of barnyard fowls, and some of them actually made bold to prick the dark lozengec on their foster-mother's skin. Meanwhile the snake was basking in the sun, stretched at full length, ap­ parently on the best of terms with herself and offspring. Many Euro- ! peans and several hundred natives en­ joyed this unusual spectacle from the iree tops, for no one cared ,o approach i the den after the bushmaster had fin­ ished her self Impose!! task. My own observation was aided by excellent spy glasses, making deception impossible. To watch further developments the German club hired a native boy. Frcd- erigo, for we were curious to know what the snake-mother would do to procure food for her little ones, as they couldn't live on insects alone, even though there were plenty of them in the neighborhood. A few days afterward little Fred- erigo rushed into the breakfast room in great agitatidn. "The surukukas and the chicks are off into the rice fields," lie yelled. Af­ terward he led me to a point of van- "rge. This is what I saw. The yellow •onster had raised itself to its full height and bit off rice ears by the doz­ en and threw them on the ground, while the chicks were dancing about her, nibbling the welcome food. The woman saw no more; she fled, congratulating herself that she was alive. The same evening she reported her adventure at the German club, and, though no one believed her, some of us decided to investigate for our­ selves. On the following day the bushmas­ ter was observed to take the chick» to water, leading the way in hen fash­ ion, the flock following, peeping and picking food on the way. Arrived at the river bed, the bushmaster jumped In to splash and frolic, while the chicks remained ashore, drinking the water eagerly. The reports of these carryings-on set the neighborhood talking, with the result that we learned more about the nature and habits of the bushmas­ ter in h week than we would have ac­ quired In two years without provo­ cation. Among other strange facts it Is developed that the surukukas in­ cubates her eggs, and has. at such per­ iods, a temperature several degrees above the surrounding air. Whether the latter part of the information is mere conjecture or based on actual ob­ servation I can't tell. At the same 'me I would like to see « man hold- ; his thermometer to the skin of a -..hmaster sitting on eggs. The circumstances that the bush­ master does not rely upon sand and sun to hatch her eggj, as other snakes in the tropics do, may, however, ex­ plain the phenomena reported, in part, at least. PE- NUT ADVt FtTlS Nti. A Fro in liter's Method of Advancing the Interests of a shin I'lester Concern. "Gimme two cents' worth of those peanuts," said the smooth-faced young in»u. walking up to the Italian ven­ der In front of the post office. The Italian measured the peanuts out r ad at the young, man's suggestion, dump­ ed them into the po< ket of his coat. They went into the right-hand pocket, but the young man plunged his hand into the pocket on the left-hand side, | and hauling out a nut, cracked It open j and started to put the contents into his mouth. Suddenly he gave a loud [ exclamation, and then with apparent j Indignation, turned to the Italian and said: "Say, John, what kind of peanuts do you call these?" "They all right," protested the Ital­ ian. "All right nu'hin'," said the young man. "Just look at this," and from inside the peanut that he had just broken open, he pulled a small piece of paper, neatly folded up. Unfolding the paper he read aloud: "This is no shell game. Use the famous Bumm Bumm Shin Plasters." The young man took another pea­ nut from the left-hand pocket and cracked that open. Out fell another fold of paper containing #he same ad­ vertisement. The Italian's eyes were nearly popping out of his head. The young man put on & great show of in­ dignation. "This is the worst bunco game that I ever ran against," he exclaimed. "Take these peanuts back and keen them. I don't want the blame things," and with a rapid motion he extracted a handful of peanuts from the same left-hand pocket, and throwing them In with the Italian's stock mixed them up, and went on hL way, leaving the Italian gesticulating wildly, and mak­ ing frantic efforts to explain. This much was witnessed by a re­ porter, who decided forthwith that the young man was up to some game, an Impression which was strengthened when he saw him approach another peanut vender and go through the same performance. (lSo when the young man went on ills way the re­ porter accosted him and asked him what the game was. The man was delightfully frank. Here Is what he said: "I get enough fun out of this thing watching the faces of those dagoes to pay me for doing it, even if ! wasn't getting good pay. Say, it's the great­ est game ever played. You see, it's this way. I make & living suggesting ways to advertise to big concerns. Now the Bumm Bumm Shin Plaster company wanted to reach the common people with advertisements of their stuff. So they send for me and ask me for a suggestion. The peanut game was one that I thought out a long time ago, but had never put into operation. The Bumm Bumm people thought It was all right and were willing to put up good money. I had a couple of wo­ men open up a bushel of peanuts, fold up these little circulars, put them in­ side. and then, by the use of a very small quantity of paste of each shell, put them together again. I sold the meat of the nuis to a randy man. and got more for ;*bm than I paid for the original bushel. "I took the lot down to the office of the Bumm Bumm company, and they were dead stuck on the game. They gave me a fat check, and that being the end of my contract, I bobbed up with another suggestion. You can reach a lot of people with those things, Just scattering "hem around the street,' I says, 'but I've got a be11er game than tha!.' Then I told them that for $10 a day I would mix those fake peanuts up with the storks of venders, so that every man who bought peanuts ot) the street would be bound to get at leas one of ours. Say, they were dead stuck on the game, and we closed at once. That's all then- is to it. You've seen me at work and know how 1 do it. Say, but isn't it a peach of a game? I bet I've put,for'y peanut stocks on the bogus Mnre I started out. and I've only been w ik­ ing three days." A snake short-circuited the tele­ graph line of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad recently by climbing a pole and twining his body about two wires. Hew t«> Kvtîuce I leitli. I have just received a lef .-r from a correspondent in New .irl.-ans, who tells me that she has red ' e.i be self sixty pounds bv following my obe< :y treatment. Here it is: Avoid all starchy and sweetened food, all cereals, vegetables containing sugar or starch, such as peas, beans, corn, potatoes, etc. Have your bread toasted; sprinkle it with salt instead of butter. Milk is fattening. Hot wa­ ter Is an excellent substitute for other liquids. Add a little of the juice of limes or leuons to It, if you choose. Limit your sleeping hours to seven at the outside. No naps. You must take exercise. If you cannot walk at least five miles a day, and do not wheel, go tc one of the Institutions where mechanl cal massage Is given. Several of my correspondents report excellent results from this method of gettihg the vig­ orous exercise hey require. The sys­ tem Is thoroughly wholesome and not expensive. In reducing flesh the one fact to recollect is that fat Is carbon J --oxygen destroys or burns out carbon 1 You must consume the carbon by the j oxygen you take, through your lungs, j The more* exercise the more oxygen 1 and consequent destruction of fat bv j the one healthful method of curing obesity.
