ALL ABOUT SNAKES,
Scientists Studying to Make Them
Harmless and Useful.
A Plea for Harmless Reptiles-Treat-
ment for Bites of Poisonous
Species includes Vacci-
nation.


ard a. Kelly and DR.. j. Z. Brown, are
making study of the usefulness of
snakes and how to cure poisonous
snake bites. DR.. Kelly has this to say
in behalf of serpents:
"A number of snakes are reported
to be poisonous, but are, on the con-
trary, perfectly harmless, and, indeed,
are useful by destroying vast numbers
of mice.
ut is folly to destroy harmless
snakes for this reason, as well as be-
cause of their very efficient aid in the
destruction of the poisonous varieties,
between which and certain varieties
of the harmless snakes there is an
unceasing war.
strange to say, the poisonous ones
get the worst of it, and are killed by
construction or hugging. The black
and king snakes are most active in
this regard. The work of saving birds
is all right. but | am making a plea
for the saving of snakes

Brown said in lecture before the
Johns Hopkins university medical
schools:
