VIRTUOUS SNAKE. LONDON, Fob. fi. A now snake known as the C'ribo, which has jr.'t arrived at the London Zoological C!aniens. Ilegont's I’ark. N.W.. is a virtuous reptile worthy ot every encouragement. Perfectly harm* less to man in itself, it preys upon its own poisonous ooii'ins in South America, such as the pit-vipers, rattle>nakos and the horrible ier-de-lance. Alter a little sparring the Cribo grips its enemy by the head and you see a kind of two-tailed snake which appears to grow shorter and shorter until only the bulged Cribo is Jett oil the scene. If the Cribo gets a bad grip and the other reptile can use its poison-fangs nothing happens, for the snake-eating snake is immune to the venom or its prey. It carries on its good work while its struggling lunch is wasting good poison until the right grip is secured. Should the Cribo meet an Indian cobra, however (.which is geographically unlikely), it would probably Ire killed, for the cobra family lias a special brand of venom which is too much for the tribo’s constitution.
