A NERVOUS WRECK

General debility is a term that covers

Natural Ceior OF Pure Water.
1t was long ago discovered that the
natural color of pure water is blue,
and not white, as most of us usually
supposed. Opinions have not agreed
on the u of the green ard yellow
tints; these, it has been discovered
by W. Spring, are due to e%xtraneous
substances. Dissolved calcium salts,
though apparently giving a green tint,
due to a fine invisible suspension,
have no effect on the color of the
water when adequate precautions
are taken. The brown or yellow color
due to iron salts is not seer when cal
cium is present. The green tint is
often due to a condition of equilibrium
between the color effect of the iron
salts and the precipitating action of
the calcium salts.-Scientifc Ameri-

SNAKE STORIES POINT MORAL
II Nothing Else, They Show Folly Of
Exasgerating Horrors.

One OF the significant features Of
this snake -eason, and of any snake
season that occurs, which is every
year, is the very long length of the
b~lacksnakes that a.e seen. This Is
not at all remarkable, FOR about the
only thing a blacksnake has to show
for itself is its length. 1t has no must
cal tail like the rattlesnake, nor the
p%uffed-out head of the kissing viper,
nor the livid, languid manne Of The
housesnake-it has only length, and
when with amazing speed 1t whips
through the deep grass or dead leaves.
it seems to be 30 or 40 feet long.
So truiy does this little illusion ex-
list that when a person tells of a
blacksnake seven or eight feet long,
he prides himself on great modesty Of
statement. And, by the way, we have
noted many blacksnake stories this
summer, and we have not encountered
a snake under seven feet.
There was that story Of a girl out
in York state, who heard her little dog
barking violently out IN the stable.
She went there to discover the cause,
and, 10! that little dog was in fight
with a blacksnake seven feet lCng. It
was a great fight and the dog was do
ing heroic work, keeping the python
at bay, until the little girl hunted up
a pitch fork and with that dispatched
the serpent, which, the account says,
was seven feet long. OF course, it had
to be seven feet, for there are no 9TH
er kind.
Is there a moral to this? There is,
of course, to every snake story. 1t is
this, be exceedingly careful not to
make bigger than it is the horrible IN
cident in your life which you C
ter. See that your blaeksnake is I'M
der seven feet long.-Ohio State Jour
nal.
