THE BATTLESNAKE-
COMMON ERRORS REGARDING ITS
FIGHTING ABILITIES. A
Doesn’t Have to Coil Before Striking and
' Kills by a Blows—Quickly Replaces Lost
Fangs—He Will 'Not Go Out at His w...
to Attack Anything. '
“Nobody was ever bitten by a rattle-:
snake, and nobody ever will be,” said a
man who has studied them. “And the
reason is the best that could possibly be.
A ranesnake can’t bite. It isn’t likely
that any creature that lives and 'is pro!
vided with teeth and jaws has less pow- ‘
er Of biting. The snake’s jaws. are not
hinged. They are attached to each other
by an elastic cartilage. Thus the snake
has no leverage whatever in closing one
jaw against theother, and if it attempt-‘
ed to inflict injury by biting it couldn’t,
so much aspierce the skin. The fangs
Of a rattlesnake are driven into the
flesh by a stroke, not a hits, as is well
shown by the fact that punctures are
made only by the armament of the up-
per jaw. The lower jaw has nothing to '
do with the act. A man striking a. boat
hook into a log is an exact representa-
tion of the manner in which the rattle-
So whenever any one tells
you about some one else being bitten by
a. rattlesnake bet him it isn’t so. You’ll
win. It is an impossibility for a rattle-
snake to bite.
“But although the rattlesnake can’t
bite, if you’re fooling around in a. coun-
try wliere he is spending the summer,
you want to keep your eye peeled. And
there is one particular thing you don’t
want to forget. It is a common and
widespread fallacy that a rattlesnake is
entirely harmless so long as he is un-
coiled. I believed that once and found
Out by a startling personal experience
that it wasn’t so. It is true thatwhen
a rattlesnake is stretched at full length,
with the muscles extended to the utmost,
he could not strike an inch forward,
but from that position he can strike
backward his full length and with
lightninglike velocity. One day I drop-
ped a big stone on the head of a big
rattler that lay in this position, crush~
ing the head, the stone lying partly on
the head. ' After gazing for some time
at the quivering reptile so suddenly
taken from life, I stooped down to re-
move his rattles. ‘ I had no sooner
touched his tail than his mutilated head
flew back, and almost grazing my
cheek struck the sleeve of my coat just
below the shoulder, where both fangs
were buried, pulling out of the jaw and
remaining in the sleeve as the snake
fell back to the ground. They had not
missed my check by more than a. hair’s
breadth. With precaution I have made
that test of a rattlesnake’s capacity of
striking in that way many times since
then, and the snake always struck. The
instinct is so strong in this reptile that
I have known a rattler two hours after
its head was severed from its body to
strike back fiercely with its bleeding
stump the instantits tail was touched.
“But the typical position of the rat-
tlesnake when intent on deadly assault
is the cell. This is not always a. sym-
metrical spira], but the body is massed
in more or. less regular folds, the mus-
cles are contracted, and the reptile is
literally an animate set spring. From
this position the rattler can spring from
one-half to two-thirds of his length.
Before the stroke the mouth is opened
wide, the fangs falling down from their
sockets in the upper jaw and standing
The head is
l thrust forward, the half coils below it
being straightened out tolengthen the
neck and to give power to the strike.
There is no preliminary motion. The
stab is made with abrupt swiftness that
defies escape of the victim. There is but
one strike. The snake passes back into
its coil again with the same swiftness
that it threw itself out. As the fangs
enter the flesh the venom is injected. If
the thing struck at is beyond the rat-
tler’s reach, the snake has the power of
' squirting its venom in jets, which it
can do toadistance of four feet or more.
“Sometimes a rattlesnake loses its
fangs in the flesh of the Object it strikes,
* but that does only temporary damage
to its deadly armory. There are plenty
of incipient fangs lying in the jaw, only
5 waiting for a. chance like that to come
' forward and be in line for business.

of David Hannicnn, who is to be tried for Q They grow very fast, and in the course
" ‘ of two orthree days a rattlesnake that
has lost its fangs isrefitted with a *
brand new pair. This, is a good thing
to remember, for it is the popular be-
lief that a rattler is made harmless by
extracting its venom fangs. The only
way to render one of these reptiles
harmless, besides killing it, is to, apply
redhot iron to the cavities left by the
fangs. This will destroy all the vitality
of these dangerous parts, and new fangs
will notlcome in. .
“The rattlesnake never pursues his .
prey; he waits. He will not go out of
his way to’attack anything. He will in-
variably keep on his course if not cor-
nered or teased. You may step within
four inches of a rattlesnake and will
not be disturbed by it if you keep right
If you stop, the snake at
ones will take it for a challenge and
hit you only too quick. It is said, as if
by authority, that the rattlesnake never
sounds his rattle until he has coiled. If
that is so, rattlesnakes that I have seen
must have been freaks, for" they have
rattled when lying at full length and
even when moving, as well as in their
coils. The- rattler, when traveling, will
cross lakes and streams, and he swims
with his head and his rattles raised

”NO ‘GOT'A OIL; NO GOT A WICK."
Railroad Travel In China. Seems to Have
1’ Its Drawbacks. ’
Having engaged a coupe in the train
to Shang-I-Yuen, the only railway in
Ill China, I found on entering the first
class vestibule car that, like the rest of
the train, itwas horribly dirty.
I asked for an explanation of the mat-‘
ter, and for answer was conducted to
another part of the train which appeared
a. little cleaner, but' still the coupe was
very dirty and‘only had the advantage
of having a table, which the first one
had not, it having'been br'eken up by
some former occupant. , _
After the tradnbegan to move a. most
vile smell came-from the adjoining oom-
p'artment: 0.11 asking why such a state
Of‘things was permitted I was told. that
Chinese mandarins Were a dirty people
and did notunderstand any better stand-
ard of cleanliness. '
Two yOung Cantonese are in the same
carriage with me, and I ask them why
the railway is so badly managed and
the cars so dirty.“ They inform me that
they are related to one of the directors,
and that no doubtthe dirt .arose from
the-number of strangers who had travel-
‘ed lately by the line, who do not under-
stand western. sanitary arrangements—
in fact, never were in a. train before. .
It has become quite dark, and we are
not provided with a light. I inquire
the reason.
“The wicks are finish; no got a more;
no got a Oil; not a wick,” is the reply.
And so we sat in darkness till the end
of our journey, when we steam into
Shang-I-Yuen, a name which means
in English “City of Hills and Sea Pass, ”
the famous frontier pass situated near
' the maritime end of China’s great wall.

The Parliamentary Franchise.
Men and women in England vote
equally for town councils, local boards,
poor law guardians, vestries, church-
wardens and school boards. For very
shame, says the president of the Inter-
national union, extend theparliamen-
tary franchise,.which has been granted
to every ignorant laborer and denied
not only to the honest, industrious work-
ing woman, but to the thoughtful, edu-
cated lady, whose gardener, coachman
and groom can record their votes before
her eyes, while she is practically out-
lawed. As for the argument that worn-
on as politicians would destroy the peace
of the domestic circle, it is universally
conceded that family life is infinitely
richer and more attractive to men when
politics are not tabooed on account of
the ignorance or indifference of the fe—
male members of the household.
In questions of intellect women have
proved themselves able to cope with
men. Let justice then be done to both. .
_Our ruler is a. queen, yet stills. poli-
tician. In the duties and difficulties of
her high and arduous Office let her
daughters as well as her sons have the
privilege of helping her. Strike Off the
last shackles which cramp a woman’s
energies and restrict her uSefulness and
let justice triumph over prejudice and
' hypocrisy. -
