EA STFR N n .A H U M A S NEW S, TH URSDAY, AUGUST 4, 152' PAY, I- Reptiles Spit Fciacn Into Tyos o f Enemy Snakes that spit poison are unions the Interesting features of West Af- '•!en, according to Lieut. Col. A H. W. Haywood. “One of the coin.rMnest and most dangerous, although not deadliest, of snakes which inhabits these regions is the spitting adder,” he writes in ills book, “Sport and Service in Africa.” “This species seems to have a peculiar partiality for Injecting his poison into the eye of Ills victim. I imagine that the lights of the eye attracts his aim In much the same way as a bull’s-eye of a target acts ns a focus for the aim of the marksman. “There are n number of Instance« on record where a dog has had his eye blinded in this way. On one occa sion I remember it happening to a W. A. A. I*\ officer. The incident was as follows: The officer in question was «hooting bush fowl with a friend up intry when he espied and promptly ' • t a snake as it was darting into i hide. He stooped down to pull it out of the hole, thinking It was dead. The snake unfortunately was still alive and spat its poison into his eye. He was Instantaneously blinded. Had It not been for the assistance of his companion and the lucky proximity of a doctor, it Is more than likely he would never have recovered Ills sigh* | As it was, he was confined to a dark room with a bandaged face for sum ten days and endured great pain he fore tlie blindness began to paso oil’.' Nature in First R ank as Great Illusion Quality in design! Quality in construction! Quality in appearance and performance! Never before has a low* priced car possessed them to such an ama:ing degree— —because no other low-priced car combines the pro gressiveness of Chevrolet and the diversified experi ence, the vast resources and marvelous facilities of General Motors. Go with the crowds and study today’s Chevrolet. Mark well the aristocratic beauty of its lines—the superbly executed details of its bodies by Fisher. Then go for a ride! Revel in the thrilling spurt that re sults when you “step on the gas.” Delight in the smooth operation—the swift sweep of the passing miles. Marvel at the way the car hugs the road, the ease with which it obeys the steeringwheel, the promptness with which it responds to the brakes! Here is quality obtainable at prices which reflect the savings of tremendous production and which empha sizes the willingness to share these savings with the public. Here is the most desired object of American life today; a car of amazing quality—for everybody, everywhere! Cl In Ills book, “Romance of Geology,’ Enos Mills records this strange tale of u mirage In western Utah: “As I looked, n bighorn ram raised bis bead like a periscope through the silvery surface oi the lake. The re mninder of bis body appeared to b< submerged in the water. For a fev. seconds his head also went out o sight, then reappeared. “There \vn> a blur, and the next scene showed a ram. three iambs and two ewes, all knee-deep In the shallow water of the lake. “Shallow, short-lived lakes are com mon In the Great Rosin. Hut how a moment before, bad the ram showed only Ills head, and where had been the others of the flock which now stood by him? "The ram walked forward a few steps, stopped and turned his head. "After a few minutes the lake van islied. hut not the sheep. There on tlie desert, correct for distance an direction, stood the six sheep—a ram, three lambs and two ewe that had been in the mirage scene. Mortal magicians kindly make way for Dame Nature, who is after all the real first hand illusionist. Legal Subterfuge For Just one day. every seven years, n fence is erected nround a small l ”i* angular plot of sidewalk in front of a large office building in Atlanta. Ha., in accordance with the - tali* property laws, says Popular Mechanics Maga zine. They provide that land used for public purposes for seven entire years at a stretch becomes the property of the public. This particular piece is privately owned and to prevent Its be coming part of the public’s posses sions, it is fenced off for one day, de feating the letter <»f the law and pre serving the owner’s title. A bra s plate in the walk hears the Inscription “private property." Railroad “Joy R id in g " CASCADE MOTOR COMPANY Estacada, Oregon LOW Early this summer, however.
