its oxygen direct from the water. Even should 
the stream in which they lie be frozen solid, 
they take no hurt, for they lie deeper still, in 
the thick layer of mud at its bottom, so that, 
provided the internal organs are not completely 
frozen, all goes well. 
The more highly organized reptiles are, for 
the most part, dwellers in warm climates, but 
such as live where cold winters are the rule, re¬ 
tire to some snug retreat during the late autumn 
and remain to all appearances dead till the re¬ 
turn of the warm days of spring. As a rule they 
retire singly. But in the case of snakes consider¬ 
able numbers will commonly gather together in 
some sheltered hole and intertwine their bodies 
as if for the sake of warmth. The most strik¬ 
ing instance of this kind is perhaps that af¬ 
forded by the rattlesnake of North America, 
which is said to assemble in thousands from a 
radius of twenty or thirty miles, to meet in 
some favorite den. This “homing” instinct is 
of course well known among birds, but instances 
of the same kind among the reptiles are not so

These strange examples of torpor, it must 
be remembered, are not so much due to cold 
as to the impossibility of finding food during 
the winter months. This is shown by the fact 
that in countries where months of excessive heat 
and drouth prevail, we meet with numerous in¬ 
stances of a torpor quite as profound as that ex¬ 
hibited by the winter sleepers. But that is an¬ 
other story. 
For general publicity, Forest and Stream 
has proven a most efficient and economical ad¬ 
vertising medium.
