It, too, coiled around the tree, and, raising ; `its head, took hold of its big l'rother s la neck,_ and by careful manipulation i loosened the `skin from the head and neck for about a foot down. Then it -took hold` of t-heoloosened `skin, and th-.- keeper'and_ spectators" who were watch- ing the proceedings saw what was going i to happen`. ' With its head and neck free - the bigsnake could help in the shedding during the operation, and it` twisted around the tree near the to and began | to pull away-from the sma lvr snake at . top speed. Inch by inch the old skin l was released, and the bright color of ` the new cuticlecame in view. It took ` nearly aVhour to get about half of the body free from the old covering, and was pulled back just as one would pull - a glove inside out, and gave the reptile a peculiar appearance. When the snakes l resumed their job they employed differ- ent tactics. The larger snake climbed higher, and the other made I itself fast lower down the tree`. The smaller one took hold of the skin and pulled for_all it was worth. All of the] covering with the exception of about two feet from the big snake's tail was loose. Then a most wonderful thing happened. . The big snake s head was at the top of I the tree. and he had not been paying much attention to the goings on at the other end of his body. When the small- er snake stopped pulling ' the big one looked down and saw that something was wrong. His eyes glistened, rand `jGlobe-Democrat as womlen-fulf T--eh other 12.

The big snake seemed ' proud of his new suit, and wriggled all around the case and admired himself for some time. Then to the astonishment 05 the watchers the smaller snake climb- ed the tree and went through the same performance. assisted by the large1' one. After both reptiles were free from the old skins they made a "meal of them and each drank about a gallon of water | to wash down the repast. The keepers says that it is no unusual thing for small snakes to get rid of `their old skins in this way, but they never heard of 1 large snakes like the python or L03. do- 3 ing it. fPv1 'HoNs. sneoome TH`-_'lR sxm.
