The length is |abom ten feet, the width two inchâ€" es, and the thickness one half inch. It is used in a favorite game of the Iroquois who throw it across the snow. In loose snow it leaves a tsnake-trai] depression. Contestants see who can throw it farthest A skilful _ thrower can â€" make a "snake" go slithering a long way, particularly if the snow is crusted.
