The boy’s body is almost entirely covered with scales of a delicate texture. His head is long and flat, and his eyes are round and heady and blink with a superficial lid or film like those of an aligator. His mouth is long and wide and is filled with an unusually large number of big teeth. His legs and arms are flat and crook sideways from the joints.

The structure from which tho rattlesnake takes his name—the rattle—consists mainly of three or more solid, horny of rings, placed around the end the tail. These portions rings themselves are merely dense of the general outer skin of the body, but the rattle has also a solid foundation of bone. For the throe last bones of the tail be¬ come united together in one solid hole or core, grooved where the bones join, while they increase in size toward the hinder end of the complex bony bone invested thus formed. This core is bv skin also marked by grooves, which corre¬ of spond with tnose at the junction the three bones, and this skin becomes much thickened, and so forms an incipient imperfect rattle of such young snakes as have not yet cast their skin. When it is, cast the skin investing tho tail 1 elose to its termination is not cast off, but is held fast by the enlarged end of the bony core before men¬ tioned. The piece of skin thus retained becomes a loose ring in front of the incipient rattle, and thus forms a first ring or joint of the future perfect rattle. The same process loose is repeated ring at additional each molt, joint a being fresh or thus formed every time the skin is shed. Thus the perfoct rattle comes ultimately to consist of a number of dry, hard, more or loss loose, horny rattle rings, consist and in this way a may of as many rattling as rings. twenty-one It is the coexisting shaking of these rings by a rapid and vio¬ lent wagging of the end of the snake’s tail * which produces the celebrated rattling sound—a sound which may be compared to the rattling rapidly shaken of a number bag. of peas in a paper And She Believed Him.
