Poisonous Snakes Are - Pets of Zoo Keeper - At Port Elizabeth, South Africa, attached to the natural history museum and aviary, is a large {‘snake garden,” where polsonous reptiles live in perfect freedom, among their natural surroundings, says the New York World. The garden is, of course, cut off from the rest of the world by a concrete wall. e ‘

.Its keeper is a negro who has worked in the snake garden from the days of his childhood and has actually succeeded in bullding up a real friendship with his charges. Protected only by gauntlet gloves and: leather puttees, with his other clothing merely the regulation uniform of the museum, he fearlessly enters the inclosure and freely handles his pets. When .one considers that the majority of the snakes in the garden are of the most deadly varieties—the African cobra, the puff-adder and the fer-de-lance among others—one would think twice before offering to swap jobs with the keeper of the reptile house. . Poisonous snakes are popularly believed to be untamable, but the négro keeper at Port Elizabeth seems to prove that, if not actually affectionate, they- can be persuaded by kindness to tolerate human companionship. The snakes in the Port Elizabeth garden are not used for display purposes only. Their venom, extracted, ‘is used in the preparation of serums and antidotes for snake-bite.,

Auto 'Driving Making . % Pigeon-Toed People ' As a result of continual automobile driving, Americans are becoming pig-‘eon-toed, according to the statement 'gf Dr. Carl Hunt of New York city, after extensive research to determine the cause of a marked tendency to ,‘toe in” on the part of a large percentage of the population in large cities. Complaints of pains in the right foot, which are becoming common, also are attributed by him te the same cause. . . : “Automoblile drivers are developing a new form of foot trouble that in many cases becomes actual deformity,” says Doctor Hunt. “Ever since the advent “of the'foot accelerator, my car-driving patients, in ever increasing numbers, have complained of pains in ‘the outer slde of the middle third of the right foot, particularly when walking. In most cases I have found that with correction of the position of the foot on the accelerator, manual manipula‘tions, simple exercises, and properly fitting shoes, the trouble has disappeared.”—Popular Mechanics Magazine, e -

Bug That Stabs Potato Bug

Against the devastating petato bug, the United States Department of Agriculture is marshaling an army of enemy soldier bugs, popularly known as “stink bugs.” ‘ . Every time a potato parasite-clashes with ’onie of these deadly antagonists, potato plants are just one bug safer. For the soldier bug usually wins. Advancing to the attack, he Jabs a spearlike beak Into a soft spot in his prey’s armor. Barbs at the tips of the jaws keep the spear inserted. The doomed potato bug at first feigns death, then begins a frantic scrambling over obstacles to shake off its assailant. Exhaustion finally leaves the potato bug atgthe mercy of the soldier bug’s appetite, which sates itself on the blood and juices of the victim.—Popular Mechanics. - -

Mammals of California

There are 2,000,000,000 mammals in California. Half of these are burrowIng rodents, such as ground squirrels, kangaroo rats and gophers, which give farmers much trouble. Dr. Joseph Grinnell of the University of California, however, has a good word to say for gophers and such. Fossils show that they have been in existence at least 200,000 years and he has figured out on one tract of land that in that time gophers have given the soil the equlvalent to 8,400 plowings to a depth of six inches. It is all right to keep them off artifically - cultivated land but in other areas, the plowing and fertilization furnished by them is invaluable, : ;

Why Bread Becomes Stale

Dr. Katz, a Dutch inventor, has been trying to discover what makes bread grow stale. He has found, it is reported, that low temperature is the chief cause. Bread kept at 140 degrees Fahrenheit was quite fresh at the end of 48 hours, but when the temperature was reduced to 122 degrees the bread began to grow stale and continued to increase in staleness down to about three degrees below the freezing point. ' Beyond that staleness grew less until at the temperature of liquid alr the bread had again become perfectly fresh. It is suggested that bread can be kept fresh by placing It in a fireless cooker immediately after it is removed from the oven. e
