state of health, while the combine eff
fects OF alcohol and snake poison caused
them to recover. Lacerda Filho, of Rio
de Janeiro. has given much attention to
the effects Of the poison Of the South
American rattlesnake. He found that
the poison contains bacteria in consid-
cradle numbers. He gives it as his ex-
perience that washing the wound with
alcohol and Intoxicating the patient by
means of alcohol neutralizes the effects
OF the poison. (Cbemische Zeitung,

Ed. REVIEW:
AS there are quite number of your
readers disiring to hear from one of
the ankstp)who was foolish enough
to leave for few months country
where it was 25o below zero and go to
one where it is 80 above /. thought T
would let them hear from me through
the Review which would save consider
able time. We left Kansas City Thurs
day at one o'clock P. M. over the A. F.
&S. r. Ry. Our train consisted OF sew
en- Pullman sleepers and three End class
sleepers. We made very fair time un-
til Trinidad. Colorado, was reached
where the Ratou range of the Rocky
Mts. is reached. Here the train was
divided into two trains, each one being
drawn over the range to Ration Station,
distance of Is miles, by a ponderous
engine having eight drivers. q part of
the way the grade being 1856 feet
to the mile. The car Emporia was to
have been side-tracked at Las Vegas,
n. NJ. but through some misuLder-
standing of the railway officials it was
not done which was great disappoint-
ment to the occupants Of the car. No
town ofany Importance betweenTrinidad
and Albuquerque. The latter is place
of some 1000 inhabitants. Balance of
the country through New Mexico and
Arizona is mostly mountainous. Some
very fine cattle and sheep ranches but
owing to high altitude there is not
much crops of any kind raised, especi-
ally not in Arizona. From Barston
junction 80 miles north from here we
pass through a spur of mountains, the
last % miles giving us some of the fin
est scenery we have seen. About ten
miles from this city we came to the Sad
Bernadino Valley. The soil is rich and
plenty of water which,is all,thatis need
ed in this country to make the land
produce in abundance nearly every.
thing grown under the sun. There are
hundreds of artesian wells in this city
yielding an abundance of pure water.
| see nothing that can stop it from be-
ing 3 large and wealthy city. The Or,
iginal town was plated one mile square
and they must have a special
act of the legislature to enlarge it,
which they will have done next session.
Within this they have 5000 inhabitants;
outside Of this and within radius of
two miles there are as many more. AS
the ranches range from to 10 acres
each, a larger city can be supported
than where they range from eighty to
six hundred and forty acres as in the
eastern states, The part of Southern
California which have seen, I think
has all the advantages they claim for it
and must be seen to be appreciated.
We had very fine weather all the way
over and all seem to have royal good
time. give below a list of passengers
who accompanied the Car Emporia
followed by the dinner bill of fare en-
joyed by our Minnesota party New
