Somebody Should Tell iho
Snakes About 'Snak. Runs'
We practically lorgot there
was supposed tn be such a
IhinK until an old woodsman
the oilier day assured us there
was a peculiar "runway" at
the edge ol his property.
He knew lis exact width
and could guess at Its probable
length. He said, loo, that it
had been in use for more years
than he had any recullcclion.
A "snake-run" he called it.
and he had neighbors who had
lived in the area for many
years and they, too, agreed
that it was an "invisible high
way" over which countless
generations of snakes had reg
ularly traveled since the very
beginning of time.
100 Yards Wid.
The "snake-run" bordered
his property, and was report
ed lo he about 100 yards wide
and no one knew how long, or
where it went or where It
started. Although we gave the
area a good going over, no
snakes nor signs of snakes
could be found. He explained
the. reason for the absence of
evidence. He figured the
snakes "are Just smart enough
not to leave any trail; they
want to keen the 'run'
cret."
He also claimed that snakes
had been, seen moving back
and forth every year as long
as any resident of the neigh,
borhond could remember.
Snakes, like animals of a
nobler class, must have ade
quate amounts of water to
drink, and in times of short
age they would naturally
move toward the nearest sup
ply. If such a move became nec
essary, they would follow any
path that afforded ample
covrr or protection. This so-
called "snake-run" waa an
area overgrown with weeds
and low bushes. 11 would be
the natural place for any crea
ture to travel sccrclly,
Beyond Capability
However, thinking the
snakes would follow an ances
tral path, instinctively follow
ing a trail their ancestors had
blazed centuries before, is
more than a little ridiculous,
and considerably beyond any
snake's capability.
There would be, of course,
a migration of sorts In gnake
dom, dictated by changes in
temperature. But at such
times the animals would move
over the shorcst poslble route,
and probably as individuals
rather than as group.
To "hole up" for the winter
In some rockpile would be a
migration of some duration.
No mass movement of snakes
has been recorded. They fol
low no visible or invisible
highway. Where one snake or
a dozen went last year or the
year before-if there was such
a movement, which is a little
doubtful - has been pretty
well ignored by scientific observations.

Chamber Warns Residents
Of Septic Tank Additives
The Mcdford Chamber of
Commerce has advised against
1 the use of commercially pre
pared bacterial and enzymatic
additives for septic tanks and
' cesspools.
I "These additives are of lit
, lie or no use and some are
i definitely harmful," said Don
' McNeil, chamber manager,
"yet dozens of firms continue
tn advertise them as pana
, ceas for ending septic tank
and cesspool troubles."
According to the U.S. Pub
lic Health service, none of
the 1.200 bacterial products
placed on the market for use
in septic tanks has ever prov
ed to be of advantage In prop
i erly controlled tests. McNeil
i said.
; Maintains Flow
,'1'he chamber manager
made it clear, however, that
his criticism was not directed
at all kinds of additives. He
explained that there are three
kinds of such additives: caus
tics, such as those containing
sodium hydroxide; those con-
i taining bacteria endor enzy
mes; and those with chem
icals designed to further
pormtly in the drainage field
The last-named type of ad- manager said.
dltive is useful in maintain-
ing a constant flow of water
in the drain area, McNeil
explained, and is therefore
not subject to the criticism "
directed against the other two
typc9.
The caustics group of addl- '
tives only add to septic tank
troubles, McNeil charged, say
ing, "While small amount! .
of bleaches, detergents and
drain cleaners have no ap
preciably bad effect on a
properly designed septic ays-
tern, the frequent use of "
caustic additives creates an '
unhealthy climate for the bac- -tcrla
which liquify solid .
wastes."
The second group, those 1
containing bacteria andor en- '
zymes, do no harm but by "
the same token little or no
good, McNeil stated, adding r
that they usually are sold to -
consumers at a point when .
their septic tanks should be .
cleaned out.
"The average septic tank T
should be pumped out at reg-
ular intervals. This cannot ;
be avoided by adding bac-
terlal preparations to do the
job instead," the chamber
