DEATH IN ITS STING Fearful Effects of the Venom of the Dreaded Fer-de-lance, THE WOKST OF ALL SERPENTS Only Inetant and Heroic Treatment Can Save Life After a Stab by Ita Deadly Fangt?A Dattle With Ite Enemy ?od Master,,the Mfthftooae. v There exist a largo number of \ fc*;i oiuoUjt serpents- we have tuaii.v of them in iht? lulled State*?but t>i? ?i? ably ii" other ?l>ot in the known world ban such a death dealing snake as the Island of Martinique. In the Caribbean Ken. This Is the fer-de-lance, aeltMitlf* Irally known as Trlgonoceph tlus lance olatus, and it can, l>eyond the shadow of a doubt, lay claim to being the most deadly serpent of the earth. Its bite means death. There are eight distinct varieties, the most common behjg a dark graj*" and black speckled, which coloring enables It to conceal itself easily among foots and stumps of trees. Another vdrlety la a clear, brlgjit yellow, and when hidden in the freshly cut cane It can scarcely be distinguished frtmi the "stdlk's:" lt~al*o*Tnay be a dttYk yellow or coal black with a yellow belly. This is not a large snake, rarely ex ceeding the feet In length and in cir cumference approximately the size of a child's arm. To repeat, the bite means almost certain death and-? should | not the service of a physician. or pen seur. as the natives call him. be ob tained within a very short time the venom does its deadly work -the flesh grows cold. s< ftens, becomes pulpy, changes i; ?ojor. quickly begins to spot, ami a great chilliness creeps through the blood- This lasts onl\ a few minutes. possibly half an hour then death. If the victim bo fortunate enough t<> get a physician upon the scene post haste and no artcr; or vein has been pierced there is hope-just u faint bot e But even If llft? be saved the danger i not entirely removed. for in many cases necrosis of the tissues follows the flesh corrupts and falls from the bones, and the body nlolders as does a tree. There is, however, a heroic method of treatment often brought Into Um? by the Martlnlquk'.us. It Is the immedi ate amputation of the leg or arm it the Uite ha'.fens l ? belli either, Kvetj tlii^ has to be done at ou* e and betore t be \ em m < ir-ulat s t lir ??' ?? h the sy*" lent.

It is the mongoi.se i". hncumont. imported from India a number of years ago for the >ole purpose of getting 'rid of the ?stakes In Martini pie. Of the wuasel family and looking very much like tho.xe i-reattires, this little fellow is absolutely fearless so far as reptiles are concerned and will just as readily attack one five feet in ength as < ne a foot long. From the mongoose the fer-de-lance will flee, but if cornered will put up a great flgof. using every trick at its command, a useless sort of contest, however, for within a short time it will be stretched out lifeless. A battle between these two natural enemies Is well worth witnessing. It is neveri a limited fight, but to a finish I ways, and probably tbe snakes by this time have come to understand that when they enter such a combat it is with fheVfldds greatly against them. The mongoose is quite as clever a riiv.it general as the cat and uses that gift to advantage. Strategy more than strength Is its asset. When they meet and if the snake sees no avenue of escape It prepares for battle as does tl\e mongoose, but in a more leisrtrely manner. It takes alnnit one minute for them to gM fully prepared. There is no trifling, how "ver. The mongoose circles about the rep rile, always at a safe distance and ? drawing fire." Inviting it by moving closer and closer, to dart out its head and then quickly jumping out of harm's way. It tormenffc in fverv possible manner, causing the snake to change position time and time again without ever reaching the objective point. At last, seeing its op|?onent at some par ticular disadvantage, the mongoose s;.rings forward quick as a bolt of lightning, catches the serpent firmly with the teeth behind the triangular head, a shake, possibly two?no more? and in le?s time than it takes to tell it the fer-de-lance is dead, its verte brae severed. ?
