Foods Not Used Enough.

There is small reason to doubt that
the proper development of tree crops
would greatly enrich and cheaper the
food supply of the American people
and their domestic animals. The chief
trouble seems to be that we have not
thought about it. Most of the crop
trees of value of Europe have been in
troduced into this country, such as the
olive, fig, date, the acorn and cork
oak. the walnut. pistache and almond.
Our native trees. such as the pecan,
shlgbark. mulberry. honey locust.
mesquite and persimmon. offer great
promise If properly selected. propagat-
ed, improved bv plant breeding and

have spent a quarter of century de

How snakes Move AIonn.

TO watch a snake or a serpent Gid
ing smoothly and silently along the
ground is to see one OF the most mar
velous things in natural history. In
deed, the Wisest man who ever lived
confessed that the motion of a snake
was one of the things thai he could
not understand AS matter of fact,
a snake walks on the ends of its
ribs-a very curious use for ribs to be
put to. These ribs are very numer-
Gus, there being one for each part Of
the backbone. Each rib is also fixed
to one OF the large belly scales. By
the muscles acting on the ribs, these
scales are moved forward one after
the other. their edges catching the
ground, and the result is a rapid Gid
ing motion We notice that the body
always moves from side to side in a
wriggling or writhing manner, never
up and down. as is sometimes shown
in pictures 1t is the very flexible
backbone that allows Of this writhing
movement, and the structure of the
backbone also allows of its being
broken easily.
