made fatherless. The services

SNAKE EG6S UNEARTHED
AT THE POOR FARM BY
HEfNHiOH JASPER
There is on exhibit ion at the
druir store of (o-rintr Co., in this
cily. a ery unusual siuht in the
shape of sixteen snake euus that
were unearthed ye.deiday by
llcinrich Jasper while ena.ed in
some work at the county farm,
west of this city. The cll's are as
larjre almost as hen's o;rgs and
are irregular in shape and make
an odd looking siyhl. One of the
evrps was opened by Mr. Jasper at
the store and within was found a
s-'ood sized bnllsnake. and from
the appearance of the reptile it
would only have been a short time
until the. whole ned of .-nukes
would have hatched out. II is the
habit of snakes to deposit their
egys from ten to eighty, all of a
ellipsoid shape, covered with a a
soft feathery shell. in places
where they are exposed to and
hatched by moist heat. The par
ent snakes pay liltle or no atten
tion to the aggs after heing de
posited. The exhibition of these
ejrgs lias at trad ed a gra-at deal of
attention, as they are a most un
usual sight and few persons have
ever seen anythink like them.
