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

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. ? I.os Angeles Times.
