TEXAS IIOOrSNAKES.
THEY HAVE HOOKS AND HOLES IN
THEIR LIPS AND LIKE FUN.
With si Fine Kense of Humor They Flay
Jokes on Tenderfeet and Women o
phers and llullsnake Create Lively Situ
ations For the Hooper.
"Tlio hoopsimke of Toxua is ns lutor
csting n rrptilo as you rnn find nny
wlioro, " snid n former rcsldout of the
Lone Star St a to. "It is nnliko any hoop
tnaUo I ever sr w in tho enst and n good
ileal livelier. Under its lower jaw thorn
is a lip, with n hole in it, and on the
end of its tail there is a horuliko hook
that curves upward. Whonovor the
Biialie takes a notion to roll, it throws
its tall over its snout, hnoks into tho
lip, and (joes HpimiiiiK nwny ovor tlio
nr;iK3 ns merrily as you plenso.
"Tho siinko cun R'lt over tho ground
pretty fast by crawling, hut it seems to
take great pleasuro in rolling. Tho mi
ller part of its body Is bright rod, ntid
you can seo tho Biiako quito n distauco
when it's rolling. Sumo say tlio hum is
hollow nnd capable of ejecting poison,
but I don't know how truo that Is. Peo
ple who aro ignorant of how the Texas
hoopsnako is built are simply amazod
when they hnppon to soo otio change
from a crawl to a roll. Thoy can't make
out how it is possible for tho snake to
put its ends togothcr mid roll nwny nt
such speod unless it sticks its tail into
its mouth. ' You will often run across a
lioopsnnku that is crawling along lei
surely, when all at once it will throw
its tail forward and go zipping off nt a
speed, yon iimigino, tlmt makes its head
swim. But its head is always lovel, no
matter how last it rolls or how far.
"I've seon many a lunn and boy
amusingly taken in by hoopsnakes out
there. Every ueweomer desires to poi.Hoss
a specimen, and thoy get it into their
heads that It is as eusy as lying to cateh
one. The tenderfoot thinks he can cap
turo a hoopsunke by poking a polo or
stick through the circle made by its
body. Ho gets fooled, however, for the
cunning suake instantly unhooks its tail,
thus ridding itsulf of the stick or pole,
runs along on Its belly for a short dis
tance and then hooks iuto tho lip again
and resumes its frolio with perfect free
dom. Tlio hoopsnako has a lino sense of
humor, I reckon, for it takes dollght in
ecuriug women and teuderfeot by roll
ing right tip to them and dodging away
when they scream or jump. They tell a
story out thore of u man who ran the
haudlo of a rake through a hoopsuako'i
cirolo and unhooked It Tho snake got
mad, struck nt tho man and hit tho
trunk of a mosquito bush with its horn.
It sped away then, and the man fouud
tho print of its horn in tho bark. He ex
amined the bush often, and ho took his
oath that it died in less than 00 days.
"I ouoe saw hoopsnako hanging to
one of the hind foot of a gopher. The
gopher kicked and squealed and pullod,
and the snako kept tapping it on the
head and buck with its horn. Tho snake
oonldn't have swallowed the gopher,
and it tormented the little thing out of
pure deviltry. Its aim with tho hook
was unerring, and it aoted as if it was
tickled all ovor evory time the gopher
squealed. The hoopsuaku's fun came to
an end Tory snddonly the moment an
other gophor nppenrod. Tho second
gopher took in the situation at a glanoo,
and it immediately hopped upon the
snake and bit it in tho back of tho nook.
The snake lot go of the foot mighty
quick, and all the lively writhing im
aginable that snake performed in the
next eight or ton minutes, It thrashed
the grass flat in a space five foot in di
amotor, and I never saw a croature hate
to die as that snake did. It finally
stretched out motionless, and I out oil
its horn, which had no hollow in It.
Tho wounded gopher was squealiug in
some bruBb, and its roiouor was trying
hard to ooax it into a hole, but it hud
been done for by the snake, and it died
in a little while.
"How it does make a toad's eyes hang
out when a hoopsunka gets after ltl
The toad knows that it's a goner, and it
begins to hop and peep nnd squeal with
terror boforo the snnko hns touched it.
Tlio snnko Is In nn hnrry, for it knows
very well thnt tho tond enn't git otit of
Its Rlftlit, nnd it tnkos dnwnrlfht cnri
fnrt In hearing the tond wail. It crnwls
behind Ibo tond, nnd when it i;r t p tl
and ri ndy It thrnws IN tail fnrwavd
nnd gives the toad a smart llmniii I
twnen tlio eyes with the point nf tli
horn. Tho toad lw ki np n f"W 1'icV'i,
nnd tlio snako s-los It by n bind fmt.
Then the lua 1 kicks with its free hind
foot mid claws the grass with its I rout
foot, keeping np n piteous aqnealing all
the time. The snako lets it kick and
elnw for a spell, hot by nnd by knoeks
tho tond on the head till it stops kick
ing and swallows It
"While a hoopsnako was handling a
tond in thnt wny one spring I snw a
bnllsnnke interfere. Tho bu Usual: a of
Texns is a big hended reptile nbniit 3
feet long. Its body tapers all thn way
llko a cono, and it hns two enrved teeth
In tho upper Jnw and Is nonpolsonon.
The hoopsnako had tho tond by a hind
foot, and of conrse the tond wns mak
ing nil the noise it know how to. Rnd
denly a bnllsnnke glided out of tho bush
nnd strnrk nt tho hnn-ppnako's middle
with its upper jnw. Tho hoopnaltp In
tantly released the toad, faced the bnll
niako and hit it on the neck with its
horn. The blow didn't phne tho bnll
snnke a particle. It returned tlio attnek
with a sidewinder thnt knocked tho
honpsnnke out of tho pnth. Tho latter
must hove been very much astonished,
for, instead of sailing into tho big fel
low agnfn, It cleared out at once, nnd
tho bnllsnnke seized the toad right nwny
and started to swallow it " Now York

Electricity Generated In HI Mouth.
A curious enso hns been recorded in
whiob an elcotrio current was found to
be gnnorated by a plnte of artificial
tooth. A patient consulted hisd ntr
on aooonnt of a severo pain in his
tongue. But tho sufferer was nwd
that there was nothing the matter. lie
thon paid n visit to his deiitiHt, wn i in
formed him thnt his teeth wero tv vleet
ly sound. Being, however, ilis.-,-,t: -.ltd,
he called upon on clectrloiiui he l;:iev;
and askod him if it wero pnildn he
could have any electricity In hi:i mouth.
On examining tlio teeth his friend fon'rl
thnt two metala wero tired to lis tirin
to a composition plate. To these metal
wires wero then attached nnd connected
to n galvanometer. Then tlio teoth wero
replaced in the patient's mouth nnd tho
metals moistened with saliva. No soon
er was this dono than tho galvanometer
showed qnlto n largo current frr.in fo
small a source enough, it is stntcd, to

Aluminium Coating.
Now that tbo aluminium coating on
the tower of tho pnblio buildings boginn
to make n showing some idea can bo
gained of what tho great pilo of iron
work will look like when entirely cov
ered with this substance. It is evidont
thnt it will differ considerably in color
from tho beautiful wliito of tho marble
portion of tho tower, and it is question
able whether it will harmouizo pleas
antly. When the tower was first plan
ned, it was proposed to paint tho iron
work will to, so as to give tho impression
that the entire tower was of marble.
This idea was abandoned, however, on
account of the expense tlmt wonld bo
forever eutailod in painting the struc
ture and tho great risk that would at
tend' tho operation. Tho introduction of
aluminium was hailed as a solution of
the troublo, but it is yot doubtful whothor
it will roally prove so. Tho coating of
the ironwork with aluminium, which is
all done at Taoouy, is tiie biggest job
in which that interesting metal has ever
been put to oominoroial uses. Phila

Culture of the Uninteresting.
Thoy have beon having great exoite
mont in a usually extromoly quiet sub
urban neighborhood, which may be in
Boxbury or Dorohoster, or might be in
Allston or Maldon it doesn't particu
larly matter where it is. The ladies of
the neighborhood, impelled by a holy
Chautauqua inspired thirst for culture,
have a "reading club," and of lata the
club has been piously engaged in wad
ing through a history of Russia. Not
that one suburban woman in the lot
cares a straw about the history of Rus
sia or will ever bo beuofited a jot by
the reading of it, but something unin
teresting must needs be read if one is to
maintain one's position in suburban so
tioty and be thought intellectual, and
the history of Russia, having a certain
imposing air of uuiuterestcdness, was
chosen for this winter's reading of tho
club. Boston Transcript
