Snake with teeth in stomach fascinates naturalists
A curious South African hydriel snake is described as toothless in the mouth yet possessing grinders in its stomach. Each vertebra bears a dental set that erupts through the stomach wall, enamel crowned, to crush eggs as the serpent consumes them. The piece then shifts to remarks on state flags, noting Massachusetts and New York banners and Maryland’s heraldic banner.

New Plumbing urged before street paving begins
B F Renn chair of the council street committee urges property owners to replace old iron water connections with galvanised pipe now to avoid ripping up paving later. He cites drainage sewer work on Alta Water and Webb Streets and notes several Malin and Court Street cases. Property owners must maintain the main-to-property line connections, so early replacement saves paving costs.
