CoLsT00N. i o e DEADLY SNAKES AND HOGS. Why Venomous Reptiles Do Not Flourish klerc--The Renson Indin is Infested with Snalgcus-Icptiles Drive ing nn Army UnckesThe American Pionecr’s Best FriondesA Fight Roe tweena Sow and Rattlesnalke. To the Editor of the New York Sun Bimn: An editorinl published in the Sun on the subject of tho torriblo mortality from snnko bitos in Indin, disclosed somo startling facts; the most surprising of which is tho great num- ber of persons who perish annually in British In- dia from attacks by thoso reptiles, one authority averring that “in somo yoars as many as 20,000 peoplo aro killod by snakes in Hindostan alone.” From what we road of Indis, it would scem that tho most doneely populated parts ‘of that country are th® most infested with poisonous roptiles ; in other words, whero thoro are the most pooplo there the greatest numbor of snakes oro to bo found. Exactly tho roverse of this is tho case in America, g0 far a8 our own country oxtends, for Liere the more numerous the popu- lation, tho fewer the snakes of tho fatal kind, though wo have probably a groater varioty of deadly serponts than oxists in any othor quarter of the globo. Among those may be onumerated the several specios of moccasin, tho copporhead, sud that purely Amorican roptile, the rattle- snako, which M. Buffon, in hia articlo on le ser- pent a sonelle, says inhabits nearly all tho ooun- trios of tho Now World. Besides thoso and other variotics may bo noticed the cotton mouth of tho marshes of the Lower Misuissippi, a darl, short, muscular viper, with thomeide of its mouth perfectly white, which lurks in swampy laces, for whose bito no antidoto is known, but i quiokly followed by cortain death. ‘Thore are two ways of accounting for tho su- perabundance of anakes inIudin. Ono is by tho suporstitions voneration of the Hindoos for the ‘most doadly korpents, which leaves them unmo- loatod, and” onables thom to multiply withont limit. Bomo such result as this must alao hava been' realized in Egypt, whoro all sorts of rop- tiles woro worshipod. Josephus tolls us that Moses was in the military service of Pharach be- foro ho quarrsled with _that potentate. In ono of his expeditions againat the Nubians his army was €0 harassod by tho serpenta, which swormed tho line of his march up the Nile, that he lost more mou by sonke-bites than from the dnrts of tho Nubians, Indeed, his srmy, nccording to this authority, on one or two occasions was nasrly put to ront by vonomous sunkes. Tls0 othor and MUro COMVICIN 16anon for the vast numbers of snakes in India is tho searcity of hoga in auntry whers the use of mwine's flesh in prohibited s an articls of food. Neithor tho Hindoo nor tho Mahometan religion permits the eating of pork in any form. The country is thus deprived of o most oflicient anxiliary in tho deatruction of theae pests. The hog is the mor- tal enomy of snakes. Ho kills thom because ho bates thom, and devours them when doad, Whorever dui’n incroage utl this mn:(nl{ animal i3 encouragod, lio compensates gociaty for its pro- Foation By thna abating a harmfal nateance, ot entered upon the business in hand at onco.
