Then, when she refused you, you thought you might do worse than take me.” .

Nature has providad these snakes with a magazine of fangs that is apparently inexhaustible. If the fangs are extracted the rattlesnake is rendered harmless for only a short period, until new fangs replace those removed. The only effective way of rendering rattlesnakes harmiess is by an operation which removes not only the fangs but also a portion of the bone to which the fangs are attached. This operation is very seldom per formed by anybody. On this subject the United States biological survey says: “So long as snakes are healthy, tecth will be replaced when lost. Or dinarily harmless snakes have two rows of teeth in the upper jawbone, In the venomous snakes, the upper jaws carry a single pair of functional teeth, the poison fangs, in addition to the undeveloped successional teeth, When either the fangs or the teeth of snakes are dislodged or lost, they are replaced functionally by these supernumerary teeth.” — Pathfinder Maguzine, Head-Hunting Lovers Dyak women urge their husbands, sons umtl lovers to join in head-bant- ing expeditions, to prove that they are really men of valor, fn his book, “In Borneo Jungles” Mr. W.
