AGGRESSIVE REPTILES.
King Cobras and Mambas Are the

King Cobras and Mambas Are the
Worst of the Snake Tribe.
The majority of snakes are not, as
most people suppose, aggressive in
their habits; but. like the British viper,
far more anxious to get out Of the way
OF the human intruder than into it.
But there are few famous, or infa-
nous, exceptions, and the mamba-
one of the largest of the cobras and
native of Africa-is said to be the
most dangerous reptile in the world.
1t will fly at anything and anybody;
with every passerby and has even been
known to come down from tree
where it was resting, apparently fast
asleep. to try conclusions with a man
armed with gun. The only snake
that at all approaches the mamba in
ferocity is the great king cobra or
hamadryad of the east, which is larger
than the mamba and generally quite as
ready to Interfere with any living crea'
ture that comes within its ken. 1t has

METALS AND MICROBES.

In Some Instances Contact Means
Death to the Germs.
Experiment seems to show that there
are certain metals which are capable
of destroying microbes that come in
contact with them.
The microbes experimental with were
cultivated for the purpose in jelly
spread on a plate. and pieces Of metal
were dropped upon the jelly while it
was still moist
Any metal that had the property Of
arresting the development of the mi
crobes destroyed them. not only just
under the place where 1t lay. but for
narrow space around it. The width
Of this space varied both with the kind
of metal and the kind Of microbe.
Pure gold. when freshly cleaned and
FURNISHED had no effect upon the mi
crobes. Pure nickel and platinum and
few other metals also failed to af-
feet the organisms. But cadmium. cop
per. brass. zinc and silver destroyed
them. the first named metal especially
acting quickly and effectively.
1t has been observed that the metals
that affected the microbes were those
that are readily attacked by chemical
reagents. while those that resist such
reagents. like gold had no effect. From
this fact II has been concluded that the
action upon the organisms is due to a
| solution of the metals taking place in
the jelly.-Harper's Weekly.

Lead and the Teeth.

man affected with anemia and other

cast Doubtless he felt lonesome and
heart-sick. He was leaving his friends
and going. practically penniless. to find
some kind of service.
"Jacob Have Loved"
This Scriptural statement is borne
out by Gods dealings with Jacob. He
had shown his courage. his faith. Now
he needed encouragement. and there
fore was given dream of beautiful
import. In his dream he saw q ladder
extending from his side up to Heaven
and crowded with angels. At the
J further end. in his mind he saw God
and heard His words, full of encour-
agement. God assured him that He
recognized him as the legal heir to the
great Abrahamic Promise.
The phraseology of Gods Message is
much the same that was given to
Abraham. and confirmed to Isaac. Now
it was confirmed to Jacob. He was
thenceforth in covenant relationship
| With the God OF his fathers.
Neither Jew Nor Christian.
Jacob was not a Christian; and
therefore Gods providences over him
were not of the same kind as those
of the Church. He was not invited to
share in 1.-The high calling" He was
not promised a change of nature to the
. nnlx condition ~ fhn
ises to him were earthly, as were
those made to Abraham.
Neither was Jacob Jew. The ma
ton called Israel, afterwards known as
Jews, were Jacobs children: but they
were yet unborn. They became a ma
ton by being brought into covenant re-
lationship with God through Moses
and the Law Covenant.
The patriarchs. Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob-under neither the Law nor the
Gospel-constituted a distinct class
To them especially lin conjunction
; with some of the noble Prophets and
Worthless of the Jewish Age, belonged
Gods great promises respecting the
blessing of all mankind. Not being of
the spirit -begotten Church, they can
have no share with Messiah in His
Spiritual Kingdom. In fulfilment of
, the Abrahamic Promise, however, they
will be granted human perfection in
the resurrection. and thus qualified to
be princes of earth, representatives of
Messiah's Kingdom.
What the Dream Meant.

of direct fellowship between Heaven
and earth. Through Jacobs Seed this

two PESTS In GARDEN
Oregon Experiment Station Expert
Tells How TO Fight Slugs
and MiIIipeds.


1.-TWO serious pests of the garden
in Oregon are the millipeds and the
slugs," says A. L. Lovett, assistant
entomologist of the Oregon Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
"They feed on variety of garden
crops and, apparently, their depreda-
tions are becoming each season more
setere. Neither of these pests is an
! INSECT in the strictest sense of the
word, but the serious nature of their
attack warrants us in giving atten-
ton to them.
"The millipeds are elongated,
wormlike creatures closely allied to
the centipedes. The segments are
well marked, the integument fairly
hard. They may be distinguished
from the closely allied forms in that
they have two pairs of legs to each
segment
The slugs are Shiny, repulsive,
snail-like creatures, notified gray in
color, and about two inches in length
when mature. A mucus slime is eX-
uded from numerous glands on the
body. This forms a Shiny trail on
whatever object the Stub crawls over.
THE millipeds feed on sprouting
seeds and later burrow into the roots
or up into the fruit where it is in
contact with the soil.
"The slugs feed at night usually
and do most of their injury at the
surface of the ground. They feed,
however, to a depth of three inches
or more in the soil, and climb up to
feed on the leaves, even attacking
the foliage of the bush fruits.
Birds feed on the slugs, also
moles, shrews, certain of the carabid
beetles and centipedes aid in holding
these pests in check.
Traps consisting of pieces of
boards, sacking and similar materi-
ais placed about the field prove in
viting The pests collect here, and
! by going over the field in the early
morning they may be collected in a
salt water solution or otherwise de-
stroyed.
"Arsenical sprays applied with an
underspray nozzle to the lower sur
face of the leaves will help control
the slugs. Poison bran mash, con.
sisting of 16 pounds coarse bran,
quarts cheap syrup and enough warm
water to make coarse mash is very
good for cutworms, and should bt
equally effective for slugs. 1t should
be placed in small heaps about the
plants to be protected.
''Air slaked lime, 10 parts, with
part white hellebore powder, scat
tered over the soil proves protec
ton against the slugs, but the appli
cation must be repeated after a rain
A strong salt solution applied to tn
slugs will kill them, but it must b
used with care as the salt will injur
some plants. Cabbage leaves dippe
, in grease drippings and placed abou
the fields prove attractive bait fo
the slugs, which may then be co
lected there.
For the millipeds bits of potat
placed about in the surface soil wi
prove an attractive food, and in tn
way the sprouting seed may be pre-
tected. 1t would seem that this m;
terial might be poisoned and serve
D double purpose"

al Crescent
CROSSROADS of Great Railways
10 be Big Metropolis of
Central Oregon.

The coming of four transcontinen-
tai railroads to CRESCENT, Oregon,
in the center of the beautiful Walker
Valley, in northern part of klamath
County, means great activity and
sharp advance in prices. 1t means.
that CRESCENT will be grand
junction and division point for the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern,
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads. 1t means that CRESCENT
will be the metropolis of central
Oregon and the most important rail-
road center in the state. 1t means
that CRESCENT will be on the main
line from Portland to San Francisco
and from Portland to eastern points.
All main lines will pass through
CRESCENT north and south, east
and west. 1t means that CRES-
CENT will have better railroad fa-
cilities than any other city in Ore
gon. Vast timber and agricultural
resources tributary to CRESCENT;
unsurpassed scenery, fishing and
hunting. On main travelled automo-
bile road from California to Wash
ington. Greatest dairy country in
the west. Soil deep, rich volcanic
ash, sub-irrigated.
Southern Pacific Railroad has ac-
quired 16O acres adjoining townsite
property for yards, round-houses and
shops. We expect trains running
this summer via Natron cutoff. Real
money to be made at CRESCENT.
We expect 100 per cent increase, or
more, before end of year. Lots can
be had in center of original townsite
for those who act without delay.
I consider CRESCENT a sure
money-maker at present prices. Lots
from 1925 up to $500 on very easy
terms for a short time only. One
tenth cash, balance small monthly
payments without interest. Secure
business lot on the main street, or
residence lot, now. Don't wait until
l get notice to advance prices. Orig
inal townsite so small this announce
ment may not appear again. Don't
wait for large outside additions to
be plated. Investigate CRESCENT
