THE TERRIBLE REPTILE WHICH
REIGNS IN MARTINIQUE.
Tb Deadly Serpent Wblcli I lord of tlit
Foresta nd Solltndea by Day, and the
Terror of Roads and Parks by Night
The Cat Its Blost Formidable Enemy,
Nature is dangerous here; tbo powers that
bull J here are also the powers that putrefy;
here life and death are perpetually inter
changing office in the never ceasing transfor
mation of forces, melting down and reshap
ing living kubstanco 'bimultaneously within
the same awful crucible. There are trees dis
tilling venom; there are plants that have
fangs; there nro perfumes that affect the
brain; there are cold green creepers whose
touch consumes flesh like fire; while in all
the recesses and tho shadows Is a swarming
of unfamiliar life, beautiful or hideous in
sect, reptile, bird interwarring, devouring,
observing, preying. Strange spiders of
burning colors, immense lizards, scaribs
nuirasscd in all tints of metal, humming
birds plumaged in all splendor of Jewel radi
ance, flies that flash like lire, centipedes of
gigantic growtli. And the lord of all these,
the despot of theso vast domains, is the ter
rible Fer-do-lance, tho trigonocephalus, tho
Bothrops lanceolatus, the craspodecephalus,
deadliest of Occidental thauatophidia.
There are eight varieties of him, tho most
common being tho gray speckled with black,
precisely the color that enables the monster
to hide himself among the roots of the trees
by simply coiling about thera and coueealing
his triangular lieu'L Sometimes 'lie is' a beau
tiful flower yellow; then he may never be
jlistinguUhed from the branclj of bright ba
nanas among which he hangs coiled: or

or (he color of wine lees speckled with pink
and black, or a perfect ash tint, or black with
a yellow belly, or black with a rose belly
all hues of tropical mold, of old bark, of
putrefying trees, of forest detritus. The iris
of the eye is orange, with red flashes; at
night it glows like incandescent chprcrs.-

main at home after dark unless they dwell in
the city itself; if you happen to be out visit
ing after sunset, only a mile from town, your
friends will cautioi you anxiously not jo fol
low tha boulevard as ') du' go' "back, and Q
kev'p'as flpsely as possible to the very center
iif tho i-ath. Kven in the brightest noon you
cannot venture to enter the woods unescorted;
you cannot trust your eyes to detect danger;
at any moment a seeming braucb, a knot of
lianas, a pink or gray root, a clump of pen
dant yellow fruit, may suddenly take life,
writhe, swell, stretch, spring, strike. Then
you will need ail indeed, and uiost VjuiAl y;

coldness crawls' thioug'h all tho blooil. If
the physician or tho pamx-ur arrives in time,
and no artery or vein Ljis been directly
piercvd, there is hopo; but tbo danger is not
parsed when the life has been saved. Ne
crosis of the tissues begins; the l'csh corrupts,

them bjrtb. i'm moMei; as' the ti-ees
molder; you crumble and dissolve as dis
solves tho substance of the balatas and tho
palms and the acomats: the Death-of-the-Toods
has seized upon you!
And this pestilence that walketh in dark
ness, this destruction that wasteth at ncr.
day. may not be exorcised. Each female
prOdiicei viviparously from forty to sixty
young at a birth. The haunts of the crea
ture are in many cases inaccessible, inexplor
able; its multiplication is prodigious; it it
only the surplus of its swanking yliav oyer-r.MU-i
into the cone fields, ' and makes the
high roads' perilous ' after sunset, yet to des
irty three or four hundred thanatop&idia on
ft emgle small par,t&tiqi luring the lapse of
twelyp months has po.t been uncommon. Tho
introduction of the mangoute (the iohneu
rnon) may, It i9 hoped, do much toward pro
jecting the workers In tbo cane fields and on
the cocoa and coffee plantations; but the
raangouste's powers are limited, and tho
ocean of death is illimitable.
Tho experience of fear has enabled domes
tic Rnimrda to discern the presence of the
enemy while invisible" to &ian. Your horse
rears arid plunge's 'in tho darkness, trembles
and sweats; do not try to ride on until j-ou
are acsured the way is clear your animal
has perceived far 'ahead, tvyo scintillating
points, two moving sparks of fire.' Or your
jlbg may- come running back", whining, shiv
ering; accept his warning. The animals
kept about country residences have learrod
ta UgbS for thejr lives J the hen battles hope
lessly for her chickens, the bull tries to gore
his supplo cuen.y, tho pig gives more suc
cessful combat; but the ereaturo who fears,
tho monster least is tho bravo cat. Seeing a
snske, she nt once carries her kittens to a
place cf safety, then boldly advances to the
encounter. She will walk to tho very limit
of t'.io serpent's striking range and begin to
feint, teasing him, startling" him, trying to
iliv.w Lis blow. " How' the emerald and
tho topaziiib eyes' glow then they are
flames. A moment more and the tri
angular head, hissing from Iho coil,
flashes swift as if rnovc-d hy wings. But
swifter still the string 6troko of the armed
paw that smites the. horror aside, flinging it,
mangled and gasping, in tho dust Never
theless, pussy docs net yet dare ta spring;
tho cnemyj still active, has almost in
stantly reformed his coil; but she is again
in front of him, watching vertical pupil
against vertical pupiL Again the lash
ing stroke; again the beautiful counter
in; the living death is hurled aside, th9
scaled skin is deeply torn, one eye socket has
ceased to flame. Once more the stroke of thu
serpent; onco more the light, quick, cutting
blow. But now the trigonocephalus is. blind,
iststupefled; before he can attempt to coil,
pussy has leaped upon him, nailing he hor
rible flat head fast to the ground with ber
two' sinewy paws. Now let him lash, writhe,

As for his intelligence, a myriad anecdotes

Undone by a Double.
Milton Nobles relates this story of Mr.
McClosky. Both men aro Brooklynites. lie
says: "AVe had a grand production ojS 'la
zeppa' in San Frnsco. Lon Phelps, who
did ilaw-ppa, was afraid of horses, and re
fused.' to make the run, so they had to resorl.
tii a dou"b!e. J. J. McClosky was macla u;
for the double, and masked. , hy the crowd
of peasants an retainers was strapped to tho
fiery 4Utamd and dashed up the mountains.
ElacL night theio was a big call and Phelps,
carefully made up in fleshings, would march
triumphantly in front of tho curtain, bowing
and smiling his thanks for the call.
On the fifth night of the play the second
rung gave way and McClosky and tho horsa
disappeared tpihi- auiiu Cracking boards
and, timbers. Qf course there was great ex
citement and the audience began calline
learn whether Mazeppa was serio'-'iy hurt.
After a short pause PTVS fcvUo(j( out in
front of the si.tin, w'ijh a littlei property
blooa qa"h'is face and( hands, and limping des
perately, hut smiling a sad., sweet, painful
smile, as' though saving, 'Its nothing, ladies
and. gejauien, a mere scratch, nothing more,
I assure you7 Meantime tho carienters and

was badly shaken up, but not seriously hurt.
Tho audience in front was wildly applauding
P4elps' mock heroics.
"The stage manager, who in tho excitft-.
ment had forgotten all pb.put the doubje,
pulled McClqsky down to the first entranca
shouting, 'Go but ;' go but and let 'em see that
you ain't hurt.' Mae, half dazed with pain
and fright, and not realizing wh.a,t he
was doing, stepped in front of the curtain,
with real blood on his. f ace, and nursing a
gonuina lama leg. Just as he came on Phelps
started to limp off, and they met face to face
in the center of the stage. The expressions
on tho faces of Pbejpsi and McClosky, as the
sitnatjon suddenly dawned on them, baffles
description. Had they been costumed as the
Dromios that expression would have immor
talized them. For about ten seconds there
was a deadly stillness in the audience, then,
as the truth of the double struck them, there
went up a yell that nearly raised the roof.
The two Mazeppas forgot their limps and.
rushed behind the curtain at opposite sides.
At each subsequent appearance during tho
evening Phelps was "greated with yells of
laughter, and after the next night tho play
was taken off." Brooklyn Eagle.
