Half Hundred Snakes at Zoo
Yield Poison to SAGE Humans
DIR. Ditmars Extracts Venom as Thousands See
Commotion in Reptile Quarters; Moccasins
and Copperheads Yield Liquid for Serums

DR.. Raymond L. Ditmars, curator
Of reptiles ut Bronx Park Zoo, operat-
ING yesterday in a laboratory adja-
cent to the snake house, stripped
their venom from twenty yellow
beliied water noccasins and as many
crazy mad copperheads, while thou
sands Of Sunday visitors thronging
adjoining exhibition rooms wondered
what caused the serpents confined
there in glass cages to appear SO en-
ragged.
Hundred Of snakes, big and LITTLE,
from a thirty-foot boa. .faig Boz and
his neighbors, pair of Indian cobras,
down to the spiteful little ten-inch
coral snake from Florida, evinced
angry understanding that something
unusual was afoot in the reptile sec
tion- Head Keeper John Toomey, who
with corps of assistants removed the
eoppe rheads and moccasins from
their dens to the laboratory, explained
that snakes always "act up" when any
thing disturbs their routine. The yell
lew and ring-necked cobras were most
angry. They spat venomously at the
plate glass barriers and their wicked
little eyes cleaned balefully.
Toorney is living example Of the
efficacy. of snake serum. He was bitten
some time ago by big Texas rattler,
which struck him in the palm of his
left hand while he was removing other
snakes from the cage in which it was
confined. AT that time there was no
serum for rattlesnake bite in New
YORK City, but consignment was on
its way from South America. Luckily
New-York tribune., 1922-10-09

for Toomey, the serum arrived few
hours after he IVES bitten, and physi-
clans at Lenox Hill Hospital say his
life was saved by it.
Though snake stripping operations at
the Zoo are of periodic occurrence, few
accidents result from them. The
modus operandi followed yesterday by
DR.. Ditnars was simple. Keeper Too
mey inserted pair of tongs into the
wriggling mass and nipped moccasin
behind the ears, 80 to speak. The
reptile coiied itself about the tongs and
was transferred, writhing angrily, to
pinned it down with hammer-headed
wand of wood. He then seized the
serpent close to Its head between his
forefinger and thumb, squeezing and
prodding it until its fangs had re-
peatedly purctured strip of gauze
stretched tightly across the mouth Of
glass receptacle. The snake, its store
of poison exhausted, was discarded for
another. and this process was repeated
until the entire batch had been de-
nuded.
Poison extracted from the snakes
Twill be sent to the Institute OF Serum
Therapy, million dollar laboratory
installed by the Brazilian government
near Rio de Janeiro. 1t was estab-
lished to provide means Of reducing
Brazils mortality from snake bite.
More than $4,000 deaths occur an
nually in Brazil from that cause, sta
tistics show. In return for venom
provided by the New York Geological
Society, the Brazilian institution will
send back sufficient serum to cure all
cases of snake bite occurring in North
America. There are fewer than fifty
such cases year, DR.. Ditmars says.

Bedtime Stories
The Young Fox Takes Sanlny's Advice
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Go not to strangers aOhem you need
Aduice that you may safely heed.
old Granny Fox.

It is very good thing to heed
advice when it is good advice. It is
a very bad thing to heed advice when
it is poor advice. But how is one to
know whether advice is good or bad
The best way is to be guided by what
you know Of the person who gives
the advice and never act on the ad-
( vice Of people Of whom you know
little or nothing.
OF course the young Fox who had
been listening to Sammy Jay didn't
know Sammy as well as he would
when he was older. In fact, he knew
very little about Sammy Jay, and this
fact alone should have made him
slow to take Sammy's advice. But
advice which suggests doing the
thing that you want to do somehow
always seems like good advice, and
that young Fox wanted to see for
himself what a young rooster and
hens were like. Never had he want
ed to do thing more. You see,
curiosity had taken possession Of
that young Fox.
Once more the young rooster over
IN Farmer Browns henyard crowed.
That just about settled the matter
IN the mind of the young Fox.
Sammy Jay is right" said he to
himself. 1T is only little way
over there and it will take but a
few minutes to run over, and get back
again. guess am smart enough
to keep out of sight. l can't afford to
be laughed at, and Sammy Jay will
probably tell everybody that don't
now what rooster and hens look
like. OF course, he wouldn't advise
me TO go If there were any real dam
GER
That shows how little the young
Fox knew about Sammy Jay. Had he
really known Sammy he would have
suspected right away that Sammy
WAS planning to get him into trouble,
Tor there is nothing that Sammy jay
delights in more than in making
trouble for other people.
You can steal along close TO Che
stone wall along the Old Orchard
without much danger of being seen.
That will take you almost up to that
henyard. Then you can watch your
chance and run over for look into
that henyard and get back again
without being seen,' said Sammy.
The young Fox saw that there were
bushes growing along the old stone
wall and that If he were careful he
