Another plan advanced is for the
general fund of the city to relieve the
confiscatory load, but that brings out
the old question of eminent domain
which makes necessary a line of de
markation between ' detriment and
benefit which must be established by
the council and which line is sure to
bring grief here as it has all over
the country in years past and which
experts have been unable to clearly
define.

AGGRESSIVE REPTILES,
King
the
Cobras and Mambas Ara
Worst of the Snake Triba.
The majority of suakes are not, as
must people suppose, aggressive in
their habits; but, like the British viper,
far more anxious to get out of the way
of the bum ii i) Intruder tbnn luto It.
But there are a few famous, or Infa
mous, exceptions, and the muuibu
one of the largest of the cobras and a
native of Africa is suid to be the
most dangerous reptile iu the world.
It will Uy at anything aud anybody;
goes out of its way to pick a quarrel
with ftvery passerby uud lias even been
known to come down from a tree
where It was restlnir, apparently fast
u sleep, to try conclusions with a nmn
armed with a gun. The only snake
that at nil approaches the uiamba in
ferocity Is the great king cobra or
hamadryad of the enst, which Is larger
than the luatnlm and generally quite as
ready to Interfere with any living crea
ture that comes within its ken. It has
been known to chase a man on horse

has any chance of escape.
The poison of both these snakes la so
powerful that, ns some one once stated
In an examination paper on reptiles,
"even a scientist when bitten by either
of these ferocious creatures ceases to
be Interested In the matter after the
space of a few minutes." Among the
Australian cobras, the pit vipers of
America and the great west African
vipers, there are certain species that
prefer the offensive to the defensive
method, and In most cases It Is the hk
Rresslve varieties that carry the most
poisonous fangs. London Globe.
