On a recent Monday the keeper of
tlte Zoo garden noticed that the giasa
make, which is in one ot the cases
near the entrance to the reptile house,
h&d become sluggish and did not care
for the suiall thing's of life, says a
Philadelphia correspondent. Ho kept
his eyes on the reptile until Tuesday,
und he noticed no improvement.
Wednesday he cume to the conclusion
that something was wrong and deter-
mined to investigate. Accordingly he
raised th« lid of the case and put his
hand on the snake. There was no
movement to denote life, and the
keeper thought his pet had died. He
gently piykwl it Up amj almost in-
stantly the snake became animated.
It wiggled and squirmed and finally
fell to the stone lioor with a crash.
The keeper heard the noise and real-
ized that the snake had tumbled, but
he could not understand the cause of
the crash. His mind was soon settled
as to this, however, for he saw the
<Hass snake had broken into a dozen
nieces and each section was moving
aoout as if it had a head and a tail of
its own.
The keeper was astonished, but d...
not 1" ° his presence of mind, and
hastened to gather up the pieces.
Some of the middle sections, however,
had wiggled under a pile of stones,
while others had burrowed in the dirt.
There was nothing to do but to put
the pieces that could be found to-
gether. This was done. The keeper
knew that the glass snake lived for a
long time with only the head and body
and a small piece of the tail attached,
and he was not much worried, so he
said nothing about the accident. He
put the snake back in the case and
went about his business. Thursday
some friends called on him and tne
keeper related his experience of the
; day before and his friends laughed.
They thought he was joking. To show
them that he was in earnest the keep-
er allowed them to handle the snake
and examine the new joints.
One of the visitors more clumsy than
the rest let. the snake fall, and to the
consternation of the entire party it
broke in half and the tail end wiggled
over to the pile of stones while the
other half made for the soil under the

suctions of the snake, hut in vain.
That nitfht he had but little sleep. lie
saw snakes all the time. In the morn-
ing he went to his duties with a heavy
heart. About nine o'clock Friday
morning while cleaning up the house
the keeper discovered the glass snake
making a meal of a spider and a dozen
Hies that had been caught in the web
under one of the cases, and to his as-
tonishment and delight the snake was
almost whole and intact. All the sec-
tions save a small piece of the tail had
come together. The snake was placed
in the case and soon became lively.
No trace of the gylass snake's tail can
be found, but it is said that it may ap-
pear some day with a head and body
attached.
