BY the Hualpal Indian Reservation,
through the Mojave Desert, San Ber

Sequoia National Park the national
highway leads. Sequoia is the big
tree park, where there are several
hundred Sequoia trees more than ten
feet in diameter, while a few range
from 25 to 36 feet. From Visalia,
Calf. a side road leads to Gen. Grant
National Park. The entrance fees to
Sequoia and Gen. Grant are $3.50 and
so cents, respectively. Grand Can
yon asks no fee. These entrance fees
are based on the automobile mileage
that may be obtained within the
boundaries of the various parks and
are used for the upkeep Of the camp
grounds and roads.

TEXAS SNAKES
AID IN WAR
ON DEATH
Venom Will Be Used in
Preparing Anti Toxin
Serum.

Death by snake bite, which so far
has baffled human ingenuity in rattle
snake infested countries, is being ban
ished by Southwest Texas snakes.
Quantities of rattlesnake venom, to
be used in the preparation of serum.
which If administered soon after a
person or animal is bitten, will save
his life, are being shipped to Mexico
and South American countries, where
the governments are actively taking up
the work of preparation. The United
States may follow next in the prepare
ton of snake serum, it is intimated.
GET SNAKE VENOM.
This was revealed by w. A. (Snake)
King of Brownsville, who is at the
Robert e. Lee hotel.
He has just shipped two gallons of
venom to Raymond l.. Ditmars, cura-
tor of the New York zoo. Mr.. Ditmars
sailed to Brazil with the venom. 1t
will be used there by the government
to prepare the lifesaving serum.
From 10000 to $4,000 Southwest
Texas rattle snakes gave up their
venom to make up these two gallons,
King said. A short time ago, Mr..
King shipped a quart of the poison to
the Mexican government, which is also
interested in the life saving serum pro-
duction.
THE method of extracting the
venom is simple" Mr.. King said. "The
snake strikes into antiseptic gauze, and
the fluid drops into a sterilized plate.
1t is dried, washed, and then is shipped
in the form of crystals, which are of a
pale yellow color. These crystals are
harmless when swallowed"
The preparation of serum is also
simple, he said. Repeated doses of
snake venom are injected into animals,
and the resultant anti-toxin bodies
drawn off from time to time.
POISON COSTLY.
The Brazilian government has for
long time been interested in the prof
ect, he declared. Their most poison
Gus snakes are of the rattle snake va
riety, besides the deadly fer-de-lance.
No price was set on the venom
to both countries, King de-
clared, as the poison has no CONNER
cial value. Reckoning on the market
value which might be set, he quoted
500 an ounce as fair price. He now
has from to 0 gallons of the poison

There was nothing else I could

profane language.
His study of the English language
has been confined largely to the more
emphatic words, and when a situation
arose that demanded diplomacy he
had none.
He spilled a cup of coffee on the
dress of negro customer. Her escort
demanded damages for the ruined
article.
AS long as the argument over this
point waxed the Chinaman was at a
loss. But when the cursing started, he
held his own.
