Losing Its Rettlo
Contrary to the popular bollof, you
cannot always tell a rattlesnake’s age
by the number of joints on Its rattle.
This reptile Is born with nothing more
than a horny nob at the end of Its tail,
but after three days It sheds Its skin
and a joint is added t<t the nob. The
skin-shedding process Is repented sev-
eral times a year, and with each suc-
ceeding molt another bony ring Is add-
ed. Until It has accumulated four or
five joints the rattlesnake cannot make
more than a faint rnstllng sound, hut
as the number of joints Increases It Is
able to express annoyance by rapidly
vibrating Its tall, producing a shrill
"rattle" which may l>e heard 20 yards
away. When the number of joints ex-
ceeds seven, they generally begin to
break off. so that when an elderly rat-
tlesnake loses its temper It also loses
part of Its rattle,—Tit-Bits Magazine.
JapSaoM Superstition
In Japan, the dead are laid with
their heeds toward the north. There-
fore the living consider this position
very unlucky and invariably sleep with
their heads toward either the east or
the south. This proper sleeping posi-
tion Is so Important, writes O. M. Ol-
son, San Francisco, Calif., that many
of them, when on Journeys, carry a
compass so they can get their bearings
at bedtime.
