How Snakes Move.

Snakes move on their ribs, The
snakes ribs are jolnted at the back
bone, and extend down over each side
Of the body The ends are connected
with plates on the underslde OF the
snake. These plates have projecting
edges, which take hold of the surface
Of objects beneath the reptile. When
tie snake moves his ribs, therefore, lie
can move forward just as rapidly and
as swiftly as though he had a thousand
legs. IL you don't believe this, try the
experiment of putting snake on a
smooth plate Of glass and watch its
vain attempts to run. The reason
that the snake can move little on no
distance is because the projecting
edges OF these plates can find nothing
10 take hold Of on the smooth surface
OF the glass.

Revolutionary changes in the methods

much of the overcertihcation of checks
necessary under the present system,

streets of the financial district. The
saving in time and the number of men
employed in handling the business is
also expected to be an important item.
