ADVENTURERS’ CLUB H E A D L IN E S F R O M T H E L IV E S O F P E O P L E L IK E Y O U R S E L F I “ Saved by a Deadly Snake” By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter H ello everybody : Here we are again, boys and girls, worshiping at the dangerous shrine of the Goddess of Adventure. Old Lady Adventure sure does some interesting things in real ; life—stranger than anything the fiction boys can think of. For in stance: who ever heard of a snake saving anyone's life? And yet it did happen. Edgar Bell of Mountain Lakes. N. J., says that a big copper head snake saved two lives and by golly he can prove it. On a blistering day in August Ed and a chum of his decided to ex plore an old canal that, in the towpath days, connected the Ohio river and the Lake Erie ports. The canal, long since out of use, ran through a lonely, uninhabited, densely wooded country. The boys paddled along enjoying the scenery until they came to a ramschackle houseboat moored to the bank, and then their trouble commenced. Well, sir, they were floating along lazily a few feet from the houseboat when the cabin door banged open and a wild-eyed, bearded giant staggered out with a double-barreled shotgun in his hairy hands. The man was obviously crazed with liquor, and Ed says he must have thought they were pink elephants or some thing because he suddenly covered the boys with the gun and tried to draw a bead on them. He Was Determined to Shoot Them. The boys tried to reason with him, but he seemed to be beyond reasoning. Fortunately, Ed says, the man was so unsteady on his feet that he couldn't keep the gun pointed at their canoe long enough to get in a shot, but it was plain that he was trying his best to do just that. Ed says, too, that every tim e that gun swung his way he thought he wa3 looking into twin entrances to the Holland tunnel. Ed admits that he and his chum were scared to death. Their canoe made such an easy m ark that they didn't dare start to paddle away.

T for, while the drunken man seemed to have some difficulty aiming, he was still able to keep the muzzle of that shotgun pointed in their gen eral direction. He couldn't have missed at that distance. And there wasn't a soul within miles of them. The man must have had some insane idea that the boys were at tacking him, Ed says, because he kept jabbering curses and trying frantically to balance himself for a shot. Finally, with the muzzle of the gun still pointed in their direction, the maniac leaned against the i cabin to steady himself and squinted along the sights.

Later it became the "P urple Im p erial C ity ,” or Peking, which means "northern capital.” The latter name hung on longest. But in 1928, Gen. Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist hordes swept up from the south, not only captured Peking, but took the seat of the govern ment back to Nanking, says the Washington Post. So, as Peking was no longer the "northern capi ta l,” the c ity ’s name was changed, this time to Peiping. The meaning of that is ironic. For Peiping means “ city of northern peace!" Bats Pollinate Bananas Bats play the role of bees in pol linating certain kinds of bananas, states D r. L. van der P ijl, biologist of the Netherlands East Indies. Cer tain species of these flying m am mals have very long tongues, equipped to collect pollen for food. They move from flower to flower, and in so doing transfer enough of the pollen surplus to effect fertiliza tion. The banana flowers visited by the bats have an odor quite dis agreeable to human nostrils, which is said to be quite like that of the bats themselves, and hence pre sumably attractive to them.

What a spot to be ini Ed says he felt powerless to move a muscle as he saw the muzzle of the gun grow steadier. He had about decided to overturn the canoe and swim for it when he saw some thing on the houseboat roof that made him forget his own danger and cry out in alarm . A deadly copperhead snake lay poised in position to strike —Just a few inches from the man's face. "Look out!” Ed screamed. The drink-crazed man raised his head for a moment at the sudden cry, then he grinned evilly and squinted along the barrel again. Ed saw by his tense expression that this time he was going to pull the trig ger. A nerve-wracking second passed. And then the snake struck! Once, twice, three times that vicious copper-colored head flashed In the sunlight, and each tim e those poisonous fangs found their m ark in the man's face. The victim ’s gun clattered to the deck. His hand went to his cheek and he turned and looked in a dazed manner at this new enemy. Ed says the sight of the poisonous snake seemed to steady him, and, as the snake drew back to strike again, the man deftly caught it behind the neck and killed it with his bare hands. And now, boys and girls, comes the strangest part of the whole ad venture. Ed says that the deadly venom from the snake seemed to bring the houseboat man back to his senses. He thinks the poison had some chemical effect on the man's blood, because, when he turned and looked at the boys, his entire expression had changed, and they knew they had to deal now with a sane man. He gave them a sad smile. I " I ’m sorry, boys,” he said. “ Guess I ’ve been doing a little G e t on th e scales to day and see how too much drinking.
