SERPENT OF AESCULAPIUS.
Worship of Snakes Led to Adoption of
the Mystical Symbol.
It has been pointed out by Dr. Bou
din that the worship of the serpent
was so universal iu antiquity that all
temples came to be known as "dr.i-
conia" (serpent houses).
However that uiay be, serpents were
kept In uiauy of the temple ef an
tiquity, notably In those of Apollo,
whose son, Aesculapius, Is represented
In ancient statuary carrying a serpent
lntwtned round a staff or round his arm.
The serpent. Indeed, came In time to
be the special mystical emblem or sym
bol of the Aesculaplan art.
The serpents of the ancient Greek
temples were In all probability relies
of that primitive serpent worship
which was at one time universal amwij
prehistoric peoples and has not died
out among many savage races at the
present day.
And "voodoo," or "obi." serpent jvor-
Bhip Is still said to linger in the Wewt
Indies among the descendants of
slaves. -
In Haiti especially, where negroes
were dumped down from Africa by the
old slave traders and were kept In re
serve before being sold to masters in
the surrounding Islands, voodoo has
defied Roman Catholic missionaries
and priests for ages. A French naval
officer who vluited the court of the
Haitian potentate Soulongue In 18-19
described n voodoo ceremony where
cannibalistic and other orgies were In
dulged in.
It is noticeable that the cock nnd
black goat which were solemnly eaten
on this occasion were both of them
sacred to Aesculapius. Flenre we may
Infer that the Aesculaplan eultus was
originally an innocent form of voodoo
and at the same a primordial religion.
The extreme antiquity of serpent
worship seems, indeed, to be hinted
at in Genesis, where the devil appears
In the guise of the snake god Intent on
the ruin of man. In the story of the
brazen serpent healing qualities are
attributed to the linage. Lancet.
A PECULIAR SPIDER.
He Catches Birds as Big as Larks In
His Mammoth Web.
Far up in the mountains of Ceylon
there is a spider that spins a web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
of which Is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines, or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet, and, riding quickly In the
