Snyder, former heed keep er of mammals and reptiles at the New York zoological garden In Bronx park, befriended snakes.; He fed them, made pets of some, sod pointed to their comparative harmtessness and utility In public lec tures. His Interest In reptiles led the vet eran keeper on periodic trips to cap ture more of them. One morning, In the Ramapo mountains, one of them struck for the liberty of Its mate, which was almost in Snyder’s grasp. The former keeper died, a victim of rattlesnake poison which anti-venom serum failed to halt Strum Rushed to Hospital. Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars, curator of mammals and reptiles at the Bronx zoo, had rushed serum to him at the Good Samaritan hospital in Suffern, N. Y. Snyder, who was fifty-seven, died about 24 hours after the two poison fangs had sunk into the back of his left hand. It took him five hours to reach the hospital, a delay which was held responsible for his death, al though even after such a lapse of time the failure of the serum to counteract the poison was considered unusual. There was no trepidation in Sny der’s mind ns lie struck into the Uam- apo woods, accompanied by Paul Snyder, a friend and snake enthusi ast. They were on Little Tor mountain, pursuing separate trails 300 yards apart, when Snyder saw a rattler be tween four and five feet long gliding over a rock ledge near ills feet As the snake squirmed into a cre vasse Snyder ducked to catch Its tail so that lie might swing it out with a quick jerk into the open and pin it with a forked stick he was carrying. Sinks Fangs in Hand. As he stooped, another snake, ap parently the mate of the first reptile, lunged from a hiding place in the grans. It sank Its fangs into the hand. Snyder shrank back calling to hla friend, and the reptiles took to cover. With his companion at Ms aide, Sny der sucked the two wounds, sought to squeeze out the poison and used a handkerchief as a tourniquet about his arm to shut off the circulation. Hos pital and serum treatment followed, but to no avail. Fith Worm Ranching It New Weztem Industry lx* Angeles, Calif.—The Flapper Fish Worm ranch is located In the small town of Riahop at the eastern base of the Sierra Neradas In south ern California, the proprietor of which, says John L. Yon Blon, writ ing In “Field snd Stream.” Is a sunny- haired high school student of seven teen. Working on the sagacious principle •s stated by herself—"any poor fish from the common human sucker to the golden aristocrats of the trout family will fall for a flapper”—she has developed an Industry which turned out 20,000 worms for the open- Ing-day sales. “Ten acres Is the whole extent of the ranch. Through It all the earth worms may burrow but the plot ac tually devoted.to them comprises but 2,000 square feet. It Is a patch of atraw, hay, corn fodder and other de composed materials about a foot in depth, with a pit four feet square In the center, where is sunk a bottom less box In which the breeding proc esses are carried on. As a protection against poultry, shrews, moles and other creatures of which the worms are natural prey and food, there Is a screen cover. “This nest is kept damp. Sour milk, cheese and bread crumbs, corn- meal, eggs and all sorts of table scraps are thrown Into the box. The continuous propagating results are astonishing. ‘Tiny worms emerge by millions from the cocoons in which the eggs ha\e been, laid. Soon they begin to make their blind ways to the outer edges—blind, because they have no eyes, but are guided by primitive, light-detecting organs. In due course they are dug up from the mulch and placed where they can be packed for market on short notice.” MATTHEW. MARK AND LUKE | mother, Mr. Ham Hartaog. ARB BLACK VILLE BROTHERS I Roddle D,lk spent the week-end with Eugene Delk in Barnwell. Mia. Marian Hightower, of Black- ville, is spending a few days with Miss Evelyn Black, of Hilda. Kisler Warren, of Orangeburg, was a visitor in this section Saturday. C. O. Jones was a business visitor in Columbia Sunday. Miss Dalice Mae Bonds is represent ing the Hilda Girls 4 Sewing Club at the short course in Rock Hill this week. ' - -- Miss Margaret Kearse left last week for Florida, where she will spend a few weeks with her aunt, Mrs. Cooper. . ; Aa4 There’s Abo a Joh nin the Dyehes Family.—Matthe w,Mark and Lake Are Triplets. Three smiling youi^goters triplets. They are seven year, old—all three of them. The irndque thing about these boy,, is not that they are trip lets—although that is unique. Their names—and how they acquired them ] —give them distirtetion. They share in common the name j”Dyches,” and they live near Black- ville, on a farm with their par ent. and several other brothers and sisters. '■ Matthew, Mark and Luke! And an older brother is named John. It was due to this brother John that their distinctive names were selected for the triplets when they arrived. Of course Mrs. Dyehes did not know that she was going to be blessed with three babies instead of one. When* the trip lets arrived she was in a quandary. Her first thought was of names. How could she be expected to think of three perfectly good names to bestow on this avalanche of babies! She appealed to the doctor in charge. Certainly a doctor’s service in such a calamity should include a prescription of names. The doctor, sympathizing with the mother’s di lemma, began to think. It is no easy matter to think of three names al! at once for three husky youngsters, names that will go with them through life. The doctor happened to spy John, and he had an inspiration. “Why not name them Matthew, Mark and Luke?” he asked. The mother was agreeable, and in fact, the more the family thought of it the more of an inspiration, it seemed, and the better they liked the idea. So the triplets were named, in order of seniority, Matthew, Mark and Luke. Although he is the smallest, Mark is slightly older than Luke. He keeps up wit hthe others, too, and is seldom bested in a fight with hit oldest broth er, Matthew, or the youngest bother, Luke. Twin, and triplets, even though there are only a few moments between their ages, lay grlat streM on this difference, and the Dyehes trip lets do likewise. Matthew, being slightly the older of the three, at tempts to take his position as head of the “tripietory” and exercise his right to “boat ’em.” These boy. are enthusiastic radio fans. They like the music and they like the joke*; which they like the better they cannot say. Another thing they like ia to come iifo Blackviile on Saturday, and “see the sights.” There is always a lot of excitement in mingling with the crowds, going to the picture show or buying things from the stores. What they think about school—ore hasn’t heard. But their bright faces and Happy smiles indicate that noth ing can daunt them—aryl a little thing like school wouldn’t worry this trio.—“E.

Reform School Lads Needn’t Learn to Sew Sacramento, Calif.—Sewing was or dered removed from the list of sub jects taught Incorrigible youths at the Preston reform school at lone by E. E. Jensen, state director of Institu tions. H All the sewing equipment Is to be transferred from the reformatory to the woman’s ward at San Quentin prison, where, Jensen believes, It will be put to better use. “The boys never did take to sew ing,” remarked the director, “they don’t see any future In It for them.” Narcotic Addicts Turn to Use of Chloroform Butte, Moot—Increased obstacles placed lu the paths of drug addicts have turned many narcotic usera to chloroform, a veteran Butte physician dedared.'

W. Barre, director, South Carolina ex periment station, upon examination of reports received here today from field workers for last week. With cotton continuing to grow and old cotton fruiting rapidly, it is es sential that every farmer make care ful study of the weevil situation in his fields. Contirue the early applications of poison on young cotton and begin to use calcium arsenate dust where infestation on fruiting cotton exceeds ten per cent. Every application of poison will aid in completing the destruction of the overwintered weevils. . A. B. BRYAN, Agricultural Editor. Double Ponds News.
