THE ARID LANDS.

edge He points out that they o only

features regarding the agricultural and

"The practical side of the develop.

fact that it is the best field for the pro,
duCtion of WOO and of the sugar beet.

argues that wise legislation can be
enacted which will remove all friction
and thus enable the desert to blossom
as the rose.
Senator Warren has always been
an ardent. persistent and efficient adj

region, and his presentation of the con.

far toward educating the people of all

the subject. He is earnest and ener-

One of the wonders of the bare, sandy
plains of New Mexico is the thunder
snakes. They are by no means common,
yet they are often encountered by prairie
travellers, esp cially before and after
thundcrstorms. Flashes of lightning and
claps of thunder, which are % terrify-
ing to bipcGS and quadrupcds, seem to
have the greatest charm and delight for
these members of the serpent family.
Whenever il thunderstorm comes up
they have Il regular picnic. They come
crawling out Of holes, from behind
rocks and rotten stumps and enjoy the
fun while it lasts. Their nature is quar-.
rclsome, their character fierce, and they
are aggressive ina high degree, although
their markings are very beautiful. They
are not poisonous, however; their bark is
worse than their bite. Chicago Record.
