plenty of others have actually been
described for the first time.
Wizards rattlesnake is one of these
- the smallest of the rattlesnakes. 1t
has never yet been found longer than
fifteen inches. whereas a really big
diamondback rattler grows to 100
inches and is relatively enormous in
bulk.
Less important - at least, so far as
public interest is concerned - is Neo-
sebS, another recent discovery. Neo-
sebs doesn't even have enough appeal
to warrant common name. for it is
simply degenerate form of skink,
much like worm in appearance. 1t
came over the scientific horizon in
1910. Only three specimens are
known, all of them dead and pre-
served in museums, and all from
Florida.
Somewhat more spectacular is the
giant brown snake of northern Aus
tralia. The natives say it is not I'm
common, but up to 1929. the last
record on it l have, only two skins
had ever been seen by scientists and
no living specimens had been brought
out of Australia. 1t attains length
of more than ten feet, and the natives
say it is very poisonous, savage and
aggressive.
l would like to think that we shall
some day see another reptilian dis
covery as outstanding as that in 1914
of the giant Komodo monitors.
Strangely enough. although those big
lizards grow up to twelve feet and
recent expeditions have found them
fairly plentiful on the island of Ko-
modo, in the Dutch East Indies, they
we're quite unknown until the director
of a museum in Java described them
in 1914. The first of them came to
the New York Geological Park in
1926 and second lot in 1884.
If the chance of discovering some
great new animal is pretty slender,
there are still plenty of opportunities
for enterprising collectors to bring in
scientifically well known animals that
the great geological parks have never
had alive. Whoever gets back to Amer
ica or Europe with a living giant
panda, for instance, will be well re-
paid. That is one of the prize animals

for a year and make two more

Once away from the office of his

to whistle.

told himself. .'Why, neither one of

MONTANA WATTS
PENSION ACTION
RESIDENTS OVER 65 YEARS OF
AGE WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR
$50 A MONTH

In nearly every county in Mon
tana, there are scores of people over
IS years of age who are awaiting &C
ton at Washington that will put into
operation the old age pension law
adopted by the last state legislature.
Under direction of the state old age
pension board and the state director,
John 2; Erickson, in nearly every coun-
ty local county commissioners and re-
lief agencies have nearly completed
preliminary work. In counties like Sill
yer Bow and Cascade, several hundred
names of persons Owe IS entitled to
the pension have been prepared from
applications on file.
Apparently the statewide pension
plan allowing $50 a month will be put
into effect as soon as congress acts
IS made available. Counties will have
to add $3.50 and the state $3.50, to
make the $50 a month.
Governor Holt made preparations to
see that the states part is allocated
from relief funds.
In a statement sent from Washing
ton, figures show counties of Montana
in 1884 paid out in old age pension
$155, 225. In some counties nothing was
paid for this purpose.
It is estimated by federal authorities
that 5000 persons Owe IS In Montana
will receive the pension. This, at the
each. will require 81 SOC, 900, of which
the federal government will pay $780,
900, the state $450,000 and the coun-
ties, $450,0 900.
There may be some counties that
will decide not to take advantage of
the federal and state offer because of
the local tax it would entail.

Later they got saddles and brides

they remained unnoticed for three

They saw that all the warriors were

they were tempted to raid the camp
and perhaps commit a few murders,
but they changed their minds when
they noticed that the people in the

Unless hunters reduce the northern
Yellowstone park elk herd by approN-
.mately 5000 head it will be necessary
for park officials to ship many of the
animals out of the state and possibly
to kill a large number and distribute
the meat.
The alternative was proposed at a
conference in the park attended by
members of the state fish and game
commission and park officials.
While confiscated elk from the Vel

to needy state institutions, the COM
