MANHOOD! | by their broad, swollen heads and their ISLAND, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1894. iil SNAKES UF INDIA THEIR LOOKS AND THEIR POISONS DESCRIBED BY AN EXPERT ———- | Karait and Hamadryas, Cobra Viper and Sea-snake—About 20,000 Persens Die Each Year from the Effects of Bites Indiaw Serpent Charmers, ‘Your honor, here’s & snake.” It is Wahid Khan, the usually-silent cook, who has come in from the bazar for his day's work, aud now stands hold ing up proudly for ins about three feet in length. ; A moment later I have the creatures i rd 3 | head inside a pair of forceps, for the art which enables the native snake charmer fearlessly to catch even the most poison ous and lively snake with his bare hand is one that I have never attempted to acquire. Sure enough, I find the oval head which characterizes the Colubrida, ind a glance at the side makes it plaia that the scale in front of the eye ex tends right down to the scale in which the nostril is situated. ilmost certainly that the species is pois- onous. To satisfy myself completely, I force open the wide mouth which still snaps at my fingers, and on either side above am able to make out, almust com- pletely sunk in folds of the skin, the sin- sle vicious little fang, which in poisonous snakes replaces one of the long rows of small, sharp teeth found in harmless species. This clenches the matter and shows beyond doubt that the reptile is one of the poisonous Colubrid«aor asps, the markings indicating that it is a ka- rait. Karait are an especial nuisance where © they occur, for they love to live about | numan habitations, and have an uncom -ortable habit of dropping upon one’s ved out of the thatch with which the tbungzlows are roofed. They lurk on the tops of window-sashes, coil them <elves up behind the basin on the wash- stand, and like the privacy of an empty drawer. They are too stupid or tco leth- argic to get out of the way, unless actu- ally inconvenienced, and the result is an appalling number of deaths from their | bites, More deadly even than the karait is the almost equally common cobra and the comprratively rare hamadryas. ihese creaiures are both related to the karait and can be distinguished from narmlers suakes by the same signs. The cobra, it is true, will usually get out of the way wheu it hears footsteps, but, upon the other hand, it’s temper is ex- ceedingly short, and when it does bite medical science is seldom of much avail. An instance which is generally be- lieved out here is described where aman who was cutting wood was bitten by a cobra upon the finger. With the courage of despair, and without wait- ing an instant to reflect, he raised his ax in the other hand and chop the finger clean off upon the spot. For the time being he felt no effect of the pois- on, Presently he began to call himself a fool for having cut off his finger, and to think that he might as well try to save it. He replaced it in position. The poison penetrated into Lis system through the rejoined blood vessels, and the result was one more death from suake-Lite. A case where a woman was bitten in the hand by a cobra while she was nursing her child, with the result that both motherand infant died, has been recorded officially by a qualified physician, and shows how exceedingly virulent the poison sometimes is. Only ihe other day a case was reported which oecurred close to Calcutta, where a man killed a cobra and cut off ite head. He proceeded to exhibit his trophy to a friend. In doing so he accidentally scratched his hand against one of the fangs, and died shortly afterward from { the blood-poisoning which ensned. Dried and penne: the poison is al- most as deadly as when injected by the live cobra. Native doctors use it medi- cinally in microscopic doses, and have a barbarous method of extracting it. They put a cobra into an earthen pot, and drop a banana in after it hey then tie down the lid, and heat the pot over afire. The wretched snake is soon tortured into a rage in its baking prison, and bites the banarain its paroxyems. The fruit is afterwards carefully dried, and is then ready for use. It is pro- nounced under some circumstances to be a wonderfully powerful stimulant, but is only used in extreme cases, and even then probably does infinitly more harm than good. The karait, the cobra, and the hama- dryas areall colubrine snakes or asps, related more or less closely to the pois onous coral snakes of the American continent, and probably also to the asp with which Cleopatra committed suicide in a bygone age. India also has a plentiful supply of viperine snakes. These creatures can nlways be recognized without difficulty necks covered with tiny scales. Vipers are divided into pit vipers, characterized by the pamen of alittle hole or pit easily visible upon the side of the head between the eve and the nostril, and true vipers, which are with- out this organ. e pit vipers of India are related to the rattle-snake, though none of them have the curious arrange- ment of horny scales at the tip of the tail, which forms the rattle of this well known creature. They are not nearly so deadly as the rattlesnake, for, though deaths are occasionally caused by them, their yictims are far more likely than not to recover. The bite is none the less painful until the effects pass off. Far more fatal than any of the Indian pit vipers are the daboia and the echis, which are both classed as true vipers. The daboia is a bright yellow-colored species, with conspicaous black chain- like arkings upon the back. It is a fierce, sluggish creature, which will hardly trouble to get out of the way, though it hisses loudly when it happens to hear one coming. It has ,enormous that once a man has been bitten by it deeply he has hardly any chance of re- covery, The echis ie sand-colored and very much amalier, but if anything even more vicious. Jt accounts for a ood mg deaths, especially in the vies of Sini, for it makes up in ag- gression what it lacks in size, and has a most uzpleasant habit of darting to strike its prey.

It be- longed to the first period of vegetation of the earth. No one knows climate these trees grew, and no fossil traces of them are left for the geologist It is not improbable that they produced amber and were stately trees millions of years ago. Dr. R.

It is very interesting to compare these insects with those now existing, eas the com mon fiy, for example. the entirely different, showing extinct species. Dr. Kiebs’ theory is that the amber was carried to East Prussia during | the glacial epoch and imbedded in the blue earth where it is found. This blue earth is a very heavy clay, and the strata vary in thickness from three to twenty- seven feet. Dr. Kiebs considers that this imbedding process occurred in what geologists term the tertiary period “The right to mine amber or to take it from the sea dates back to the time the first knights who colonized East Prussia appeared—in the tifteenth cen tury. They had the primary right to mine. Subsequently the right merged in the government, which granted the privilege to private parties for an an nual consideration.
