The warm rays ot Old Sol at this season of the tar not only causa true trees, shrubs and flowers to vie with one another In braut and fragrance, but call into activity another life that ot the to which man and woman klud, have had an inborn antipathy. Every one is perfectly well aware that there exists a large number ot ceno anus serpentswe have many of tbera right here In the United States the rtittler, for example, but probably no other spot In the known world has such a death dealing reptile as has the French Island of Martinique, nestling in the limpid blue waters of the Car ribean sea, and where comparatively a few years ago Mont Felee, In an outburst of gaseous Ill nature, sent over 25,000 souls pell oiell into eternity. It Is the (er de lance, scientifically nown as "trlgoncephalus Jaucelatus" mut can, neyona too shadow of a doubt, lay to being the most deadly scerpent of the earth. Its sting means almost certain death. ALMOST CERTAIN DEATH.

There are eight distinct varieties, the n'ost common being a dark gray and black speckled which coloring enables It to conceal Itself easily among roots and stumps of trees. Another varUtv Is a clear, bright yellow, and when hit den In the freshly cut cane can hardly be distinguished from the stalks. It may also be dark yellow of coal uiaca, win a yenow oeny. II is not a large snake, rarelr ex cetdlng five 'feet In length, and In circumference approximately the else of a child am. To repeat, the sting means almost certain death.

Pussy, in ahrut nine cases out of ten, will come out of the scrap with colors flying, because ot the fact that it Is, apparently quite as quick in movement, nnd tin same time uses what may bo turni. ed ring generalship. i There Is but one animal other than the cat that successfully wages war upon the fer de lance. It is the "man gouste," (Ichneumon) Imported froaa India a number of years ago for the sole purpose of getting rid of the snakes. Of the weasel family and looking very much like It, this lltle animal la sbrolutely fearless so far as snakes ore concerned and will just as readily tackle one five (eet In length aa one a loot log.

From the "man gousta" the fer de lance will flee, but If cornered will put np a great fight, using every trick at Its command; a useless sort of contest, however, for within a short time It will be stretched out llfelees. A battle between these two natural enemies is well worth witnessing. It Is never a "liniltej" tight, but to a finish, always and probably the snakes by this time have come to understand Hint when they enter such a combat it Is with the odds against them. The J'man gouste" is quite as clever a ring general as the cat, and uses that gift to advantage. Strategy, more than ajiengtu, la its asset.

When tbey meet, and If the snake sees no avenue ot escape, It prepares tor battle as does the "man goute," but in a more leisurely manner. It takes about one minute for tbera to get fully prepared. There la no shaking bands, so to speak, as, do prize flffhters. THE "MAN METHOD. The aian gouste" circles about the reptile, always at a sate distance, and "tii awing fire," Inviting It by moving closer and oser, to dart out Its head get a physician ipoa the scene polj 'nd then qulcly jumping out of harm harte and no artery or vein has been wy.
