Snake Bites Need
Not Be Fatal Is
View After SURVEY

Although the average mortality
from American venomous snakes is a
little more than 10 per cent of the
persons bitten, death from snake
bites is quite rare, according to the
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture, because
relatively few persons encounter or
are bitten by the dangerous species.
The most venomops of our native
snakes live in lonely, little settled
district, often on stony or swamp
land that cannot be cultivated.
Usually they disappear at the ap-
proach of man, and while they may
strike if provoked, the popular belief
in respect to the distance they can
strike is erroneous. Three -fourths
of their own length is about the
greatest distance possible. If the
legs are well protected when one is
going into deep woods or places
known to be infested by rattlers or
other poisonous. snakes, there is
slight chance of being bitten.
AS the food of snakes consists. of
living prey. they cannot be killed by
poisoned bats. The only method thus
far devised to kill them seems to be
clubbing or shooting. This is best
done in early spring, when they are
still sluggish after the winter hiber-
nation.

THE SPECIAL TEACHING OF THE
LESSON
Edward 7. pevine

From Asa to Zedekiah the history
of Judah covers some three centuries.
1t is not history in which patri-
otic Jew could take unmitigated sat
isfaction. Vassalage to Philista,
subordination to Israel, shifting al
liances with various states, subjection
to Egypt, and conquest by the Chal-
deans mark the course of events.
Yet there were also periods of great
prosperity and military success; and
there is a glory that shines through
prosperity and adversity the light of
which has not been dimmed by the
passing of time or the deyastations
wrought by their enemies. In Judah
was Jerusalem, and in Jerusalem was
the temple. the wealth and the splen-
dor of which waxed with the power
and resources of the ruefion. Yet the
glory of Jerusalem was not in the
temple; although it was in the temple
that the roll of Deuteronomy was
found, and that Uzziah was stricken
with leprosy, and from its gate that
Jeremiah preached his great sermon.
Judah had an unbroken dynasty, but
despite the kings who did right in the
sight of the Lord--despite Asa, Joash
and Hezekiah-the glory of Judah
does not proceed from the throne of
David. judah had a legitimate
priesthood, which Ezekiel, in exile
and privation, was later to bring into
line with the best influences of the
Jewish religion; but IL is incontro-
vertible that the priests as a whole
did not uniformly reflect credit on
their sacred calling. In Israel they
suppressed Amos, and in Judah they
were foremost in the attempt to sup
press jeremiah. The people han t.--
rect voice in the government in
Judah; but democracy. according to
the records, was no more clear sight
ed and high minded than princes and
priests jeremiah had his first dis
|iflusionment among the common peo-
pie. Long before Diogenes made his
search with a lantern for an honest
man in Athens, jeremiah ran to and
fro through the streets of Jerusalem
seeking in the broad places If he
could find man--one who was look
ing for the truth and was ready to
execute justice. His search was in

of Boulder Canyon. In this distance
it has fall of about 1900 feet. Add
to this a fall of 500 feet which may
be obtained by the construction of
the Glen Canyon dam al. or near Lees
Ferry and we get a total fall four
teen times as great as that at the
Roosevelt dam at its maximum

After conceding to the five upper
states all the water that they can

of water equal to at least eight times
the normal flow of Salt River.
The foregoing data translated into
plain English means that the Colo

This power, if properly developed

We think SO much of Prescott and its enterpris-

become involved We should be inclined in advance
of familiarity with the facts render decision

complaining that the snake show put on by the
Mobiles of Ell Zaribah Temple at San Francisco was
infringement upon the Smoki dance of
the Prescott braves We fear that the Hopis or the
Moiis have much stronger ground for complaint
against the Smokis for the latter are told made
careful study of the Moki technc preparatory to
putting on their dance And they did it well that
those who witnessed it and had many Moki
dances said, Whats the use of making that long

snakes when the Smokis do the same
thing amid comfortable urban surroundings The
Meki snake dance is brought right to midst
1t is true that the Mokis neglected to protect
their dance by copyright patent, but regard
the Smokis also failed that they impute to
the Mobiles of Ell Zaribah only a moral lapse. Even
that accusation is robbed of its force by the fact that
the Mobiles had borrowed the costumes of the Smoks
act which ought to have aroused at least sus-
picion to the to which the costumes were to
be put. Surely the Smokis could not have thought
they were to be at fancy ball or in the
ceremonias of the convention.
The Mobiles though have not made the matter
any better in attempted apology the Smokis
in the irrelevant showing that they had staged in
connection with their show gila monster rattle

unnecessary fr undoubtedly intended confuse the
situation and conceal the infringement but really
having nothing to do with the dance.
After all, though. when the Mobiles and the
