His Ideal is a spine of a particular, curve, whose twenty-four bones are at equal distances apart, of the same formation on both sides and equally distant from the aides of the body, . . '.. The child's spine Is much nearer normal and far straighter than the adult's, and the society woman who does no work Is more likely to have a back whose curve comes nearer the ideal than the college athlete. The spines of strong men, such as the laborer or pugilist, are most defective, for the reason that constant pull and strain on the spinal column accentuate its weaknesses. The Igorrotes. strong as they are. have weaker and more crooked spines than civilized men. The spines of lower animals are stronger and more normal than ours and consequently are not so readily affected by disease. If man bad decided to walk on all fours his spine might be just as good as his cat's or dog's. Spinal trouble started when our ancestors determined to walk upright, and even after untold centnries it seems that the human spine has not thoroughly adjusted itself to our method of - going about Spencer wrote: That all Important organ, the vertebral column, is as yet but Incompletely adapted to, the upright posture.

King Cobras and Mambas Are the Worst of the Snake Tribe. The majority of snakes are not as most people suppose aggressive in their habits; but, like the British viper, far more anxious to get out of the way of the human intruder than. in to it. But there are a few famous, or infamous, exceptions, and vthec mamba one of the largest of the .wbras and a native of Afaica is sai to be the most dangerous reptile1 In 'the world. It will fly at anythingla9' anybody; goes out of Its way to pick a quarrel with every passerby and has even been known to come down from a tree where it was resting, apparently fast asleep, to try conclusions with a man armed with a gun. The only snake that at all approaches the mamba in ferocity is the great king cobra or hamadryad of the east which is larger than the mamba and generally quite as ready to Interfere with any living creature that comes within Its ken. . It has been known to chase a man on horseback, and so fast can it travel that it is said none but a swift footed animal 1 .has any chance of escape, . j ' , The poison of both thesejsnakes is so j powerful that, as some one once stated j In . an examination mfrfbr n reptiles, I "even a scientist wheif Dltten by either be Interested in the matter after the ; space or. a iew minutes.
