HARMLESS SNAKES.
They Are Valuable as Aids to the
AgricuIturist.

They Are Valuable as Aids to the
AgricuIturist.
1t is not generally known that the
preservation of harmless snakes is as
important as the destruction of the
hosts Of pests met with in farming and
in market gardening.
The national records contain sad his
tories Of the total or partial extermina-
ton of many animals which are useful
or beautiful or both.
Yet there are few animals more use
full in one way than snakes. If human
:ty alone prevented the killing of harm
less snakes, how can we justify it
when they are proved to be useful
10 us? Consider the economic relation
Of snake to an ear of corn or row
Of potatoes. Snakes live almost en-
tirely upon creatures which are de-
structive to growing things that is,
they cat literally millions of insects,
small mammals and worms. Especial
" are potato bugs, worms, flies, bee
ties, maggots, ants, grubs, grasshop-
pers. locusts and the larvae of these
the food OF most of our snakes.
OF considerably over eighty differ
ent kinds of snakes found throughout
the United States and exclusive Of the
rattlesnakes and mocassins there are
but two which can be termed danger
GUS. We exclude the rattlesnakes and
the moccasius because all are large,
easily recognized forms, which cannot
be confused with harmless kinds. Liv-
ing In water, the moccasins are not Of
ten troublesome to farming regions
and are confined to the south from
North Carolina around the gulf coast
and the Florida peninsula and along
the southern Mississippi, living in
swamps. The two really poisonous
snakes which might be mistaken for
harmless ones are the copperhead and
the coral snake.
OF the two the copperhead only
needs our attention This truly poi
sonous snake is slender and has few
features to distinguish 1t from harm
less milk snakes. It is found usually
in rocky hills or stone piles, old cellars
being favorite spot. But 1t should
not be greatly feared, for unless at
tackled or stepped on it will not bite,
and it is seldom found where there is
cultivation of the ground in progress

EIements Of the Universe.

Science declares that up to date the
suns and planets all seem to be built
ND out Of identical materials. We are
not acquainted with any element In
any Of the heavenly bodies which is
not to be found. for instance, on the
earth. Helium, for example, first dis
covered In the sun, was subsequently
found on earth in the rare mineral
clevite. In the handful Of earth that
you pick up at your feet you may be-

A Comb In the Claw.

Many birds possess useful comb In
the claw Of the middle toe Of the foot
This has been noticed In owls, night
Jars, herons, bitterns, cormorants, gan
nets, etc. 1t has been explained as q
means Of holding the prey securely.
The comb is sometimes replaced by Q
curved blade with teeth, which run
along the inner side Of the claw. Such
blade is found In razorbills, wild
ducks, gulls, starlings and many other
birds. Where comb is required the
inner edge Of this blade becomes di-
yided into teeth. Young nightjars OF
goatsuckers have only the blade, but
old ones have a well developed comb.
