the bite of this insect have been
variously described; but all observ>
ers unite in declaring that It is as
deadly as the rattlesmake, or even
as that nightmare of India, the
cobra di capello. Dr. Wright. OF
auckland, in recording case with>
in his own practice, states that
"the patient, who was a stout.
strong man, within twenty minutes
after being bitten by katipo. de-
veloped bloated or tumid state of
the face, accompanied by rolling Of
the eyes, dilatcd pupils, with a
pulse frequent anG fuller than nat
ural. 1 thought the symptoms
were those IF rabies. and offered
q glass of water. On attempting
to drink, violent commissions ensu-
ed, with sensation of checking Or
suffocation. Hypodermic injections
of morphine were tried without
avail. The skin was covered with
clammy perspiration. and after
seventeen hours of terrible suffering
the patient expired
The Rev. W. F. Chapman, Of
Auckland, informed Mr.. Bethune
that he had domestic, a native
Maori girl, who was bitten in the
region of the abdomen by katipo
that she had disturbed in the gar
den while playing with the chil~
dren. Her sufferings were dread
full. She swelled to twice her nat
ural size, and died in about twenty
four hours after being bitten.
DR.. Smith, the native medical Off
Ger at Manawater, describes a case
which had come under his notice
in that district. He was called in
to attend a native woman. about
fifty years of eye, who had been
bitten in the left hip when digging
potatoes at a settlement near the
seashore, where the katipo abound
ed. Her husband had applied hot
roasted potatoes to the seat of pain
without at all alleviating it. In a
few minutes after being bitten she
complained of pains all over her,
which were followed in an hour
b. cold shive:ings and hydrophobic
symptoms at irregular intervals.
Dr.. Smith was unable to relieve
her, and death claimed the victim.
Mr.. Bethune informed the
writer that there is only one
case on record where the pa
tent has recovered from the
deadly bite of this terrible in
sect. An English lad was bit
ten on the feshy part OF the
thigh, and, as the doctors re-
port of the case expresses 1t,
twas three months before he
rallied, and over another six
before he recovered
It will be seen from these
reliable statements that the
insect instinctively creeps up
the clothes Of persons who app
proach it's vicinage, and seems
to look upon man as its natu-
raj foe. There was a case re-
ported in Hoboken last sum-
mer Of a boy having been bit
ten by a spider on the road
between Fort Lee and Pleas
ant Valley, who afterwards
died. The doctor who attend
ed did not understand the
case, and attributed death to
the eating Of some poisonous
root. Was that spider a
katipo
II seems idle to speculate
how these venomous insects
reached this country. We
know that ships from New
Zealand are continually reach
ing our shores, and that dur
mg the early months of the
centennial wear this cOmmun-

This is the exact fashion in which the
brave and brilliant Francis Marion once
wrote to Gen. Greene-as in letter just
published for the first time: "SR-I

A New Automatic Railroad Signal.

A certain Signor L. Guano, OF Genoa,
has invented an apparatus, model OF
which is on view at the Ministry of
Finance, which, if practically a success,
would prove great boon to travellers,
for it is designed to prevent railway col
lisions. Without going into technical
ties, the idea is this: Between the rails
is sunk kind of box, of masonry, in
which is contained a spiral spring, on
which rests an upright lever with arms
pointing up and down the line. The
lever rises above the level of the rails,
and on the sides of it work cog-wheels,
to which are attached wires, which, pass
ing through tube and round horizontal
wheels, communicate with the next box.
From the front Of the engine, to work on
the line, descends perpendicular rod,
communicating with the whistle, and to
the tender is added a central wheel, not
touching the ground, but attached to
bell in the guards van.
On train leaving station, asst passes
over the first of these levers the engine
rod and the central wheel strike against
it, the weight of the train presses it
down, and in so doing raises all the arms
of the levers up to the next station
against any train coming in the opposite
direction, at the same time ringing a
bell at the next station. Surprising by
chance train on the same line to have
passed that station, it would strike
against the first lever, and be warned by
the whistle and bell that there was dam
ger ahead, and would put back at once,
while at the same time, by reversing the
levers once more, it would warn the COM
ing train to proceed cautiously. If no
other train is on the line, the first one,
having set the levers in the opposite
direction, passes over them without rails
ing any alarm.
The estimated working distance Of
these levers from each other is two to
three miles, but the inventor says that
his apparatus has been at work some
months successfully, at distance of
about six miles, between San Pier Arena
and Pente Decimo. Pail Mall Gazette.

ST. John. the ScOrched CITY.

The chief city Of New Brunswick, on
the Canadian Atlantic coast, is st. John,
while that which is the chief city and
port of Newfoundland is st. Johns
the only difference in the photography
Of the two being the addition Of the
possessive So to the latter. It is ST.
John, not st. Johns, which was lately
devastated by terrible confagration,
involving loss Of about $16, 600, 900,
and laying in ruins the better portion Of
one of the most substantial and prosper
GUS cities in British America. There is
not a finer harbor on this continent than
that Of st. John.
The city lies at the mouth Of the st.
John river, on the bay of Fundy. In
Guiding it's suburbs, it has a population
of about $4,000. The greater portion of
the town stands on rocky peninsula;
it's streets are wide, generally crossing
each other at right angles, and some OF
them are very steep and cut through the
solid rock to depth Of thirty or forty
feet. The buildings of the city were
principally of brick or stone. It is
lighted with gas, and is supplied with
water from Little river, four miles dis
tant, by means Of two iron pipes, which
together have a capacity Of 100000
gallons a day. Adjoining the city, and
practically a part of it, is the town OF
Portland, which has population of
about Is, 900.
It is worthy Of note as fact in his
tory, that st. John was originally found
ed by American loyalists who left the
United States at the close of our Revolu-
tionary war. Its city charter was OBJ
tanned from King George III. in 1885.

Fred Douglass Revisits the Scene Of His
SerYitude.

Frederick Douglass, Marshal Of the
District Of Columbia, recently visited ST.
Michaels, Talbot county, Md, for the
first time since he left, fugitive, forty
one years ago, and was well received by
his former master, Capt. Thomas Aud,
and by William W. Bruff, who taught
him reading, arithmetic and geography
fifty years ago. In an address to the
colored people Marshal Douglass said:
" IF, in twenty years from now, the col
ored race, as a race, has not advanced
beyond the point where it was when
emancipated, it is doomed race" He
encouraged them to earn money and
keep it. A poor people are always de-
spised people. To be respected they
must get money and property. Without
money there is no leisure; without lei
sure, no thought; without thought, no
progress.

Southern newspaper as freezing pow
ders, which may prove useful in hot
weather where ice is not attainable: /.
Four pounds sulphate of soda, two and
half pounds each of muriate Of ammo
MIA and nitrate of potash when about
to use, add double the weight Of all the
ingredients in water. 2. Equal parts of
nitrate of potash and muriate Of ammo
MIA when required for use, add more
than double the weight of water. 3.
Nitrate of ammonia and water in equal
proportions. Carbonate of soda and
nitrate of ammonia, equal parts, and one

CamelS i'm Nevada.

In 1857 the United States Government
made an attempt to introduce camels for
service in the arid wastes along the
Southwestern frontier. Ten camels were
landed at New York, but all save one
pair, male and female, died soon
after from the effects of the voyage. The
survivors were transferred to Nevada,
whose sandy and sterile soil produces an
abundance of prickly shrubs which no
other animal would touch. On this kind
of food the single pair of camels -four
ished and multiplied, and their descend
ants now number over 100. They are
hardy, useful animals, and are capable
Of good service as beasts of burden in
the sandy wastes Of the Southwest.
