We notice that you've written the biggest snake. What's the smallest? en quires Class Secretary J. R. D., via the Bethlehem Globe. Snow Squeak: The shrill fifing of the snow beneath one's galo shes in real cold weather is caus ed by friction - the hard, sharp edges of frozen crystals rubbing against each other. In mild weather, when the thermometer is only a little below freezing, the edges are somewhat mushy, less hard, and more easily blunted. But as the temperature sinks, the crystals become in creasingly harder, the friction increases, and the protesting squeaks become shriller and louder. And please tell your troop, J. P. R., that was a mighty fine question. Pigeon's Milk: Adult pigeons, both hens and cocks, have the ability to digest food in their crops partially and then regurg itate it into the hungry, wide; open mouth of their nestlings. The same "milk" is a misnomer, however. It is not true milk, only looking like it with cheeselike solid particles which are form ed by the breaking down of cells in the crop's lining. In England, on April Fool's day, it is considered a huge joke to send unsuspecting children to the grocery store to buy Pigeon's milk. Smallest Snakts: In consider ing smallest snakes, let's look at it in two ways - those that weigh the least and those that are shortest. As for the shortest, there are several mature worm snakes which are quite small -their adult size is five inches. As for the lightest in weight, there is a three foot long-headed snake which often weighs less than one ounce even less. Usu ally, a three footer would weight about 32 times that much - say, around two pounds. Many thanks for telling me your class keeps my pieces in a scrapbook.
