long-Dlstance Gun.

A St. Louis shoemaker named Custer
has applied for a patent on gun
which he claims will shoot ten miles.
The gun is a smooth bore, very
similar to Martini Henry rife, and
hammerless. On the left hand side of
the breech-block is a magazine con-
tanning cartridges so arranged that on
firing the recoil of the charge opens
the breech, at which spring presses
a cartridge into place.

Women and War.

The gradual progress. Of the woman
suffrage movement in the United States
and certain other countries, notably
great Britain. has hitherto attracted
little. attention, as bearing upon any
question of public policy except the
temperance issue, but If women ever
vote on equal terms with men, the effect
upon the armies and navies of the
world will be enormous, says the Cleve-
land Leader. Women are the instinct
i've friends OF peace. They like SOL
diers, but they dread war, and the
whole weight of their vote would
be thrown. almost invariably. against
the man or the party thought to repre-
sent lingo" sentiment. On this ques-
ton women are not much influenced by
the views of fathers. brothers or hus-
bands. Men may see opportunities for
military glory, for fat contracts. for
political power, and above all. for graf
flying their love of excitement and
fighting. in a great war, but to women
war is a terror. wholly repulsive except
when lighted by pure patriotism and
the approval of the best conscience of
a nation. Probably one Of the chief
reasons for Bismarck's bitter antipathy
to the broad-minded and brilliant widow
of the late Emperor Frederick was her
disposition to exert all her influence
against the dominant military spirit in
Germany. and it is very doubtful wheth-
er such a man as the Iron Chancellor
could flourish in any country where
women really shared with men the pow
ers and duties of government. Ger
tainly, woman suffrage would make for
peace the world over.

vENoMous SNAKES.


The Constructors and Location of Their
Death-DesfisS Poison fangs.
II drop Of the oil from q foul pipe
be placed in the mouth of snake the
action Is instantaneous. The muscles
become set in knotted Jumps and the
creature becomes rigid. If much Is
given the snake dies. but if SMALL
amount only is placed in the mouth
the snake may be restored. This. as
Mr.. Oakley has suggested. may ex-
plain the stories of Indian snake
charmers being able to turn q snake
into a stick. This feat is performed
by splitting in the snakes mouth and
then placing the hand on its head
until the reptile becomes stiffened.
The effect may be produced by opium
or other narcotic introduced with the
saliva. They then rub the snake
between their hands, restoring it
to its usual animation. The sting of
snakes is neither in the tail nor the
tongue. The death-dealing organs are
the great poison-fangs. The fatal
wound is bite and not sting. And
among all the special notifications Of
snake structure none is more remark
able than the development of the,
poison fang. In the harmless snake
there is a longish bone on each side of
the upper jaw. which may be
armed with a dozen teeth or
more. But in the vipers this
bone is shortened to a wedge, which
bears only one great fang, though be-
hind it there may be two or three re-
serve fangs. one of which will rapidly
become attached to the bone should
tn e poison fang in use be broken. In
all snakes the awbones are but loose
ly attached to the brain case. But in
the vipers this fang-bearing bone is SO
hinged to its neighbors that, when the
creature is not reused, the poison tooth
can be laid back in the mouth and pro-
tected by fold of skin. Should the
creature. however. be enraged, and
the mouth be opened widely. its poison
fangs may be separated or simultan-
eously erected SO as to stand out at
right angles to the jaw. In the less
developed venomous snakes the curved
fang is grooved along its anterior
margin; but in the cobras the groove
has sunk so deep into the fang that it
only opens by a narrow slit. while in
the vipers and the ring-hals even this
slit has closed, and there is complete
canal running from the base of the
tooth to a slit-like orifice near, but not
quite, at the point. Into this canal at
its lower end opens the duct of the
poison gland. deadly modification of,
harmless salivary gland. In fair
sized puff adder / dissected this was
about as large as bean. About half
a dram OF clear gummy poison may be
collected from a fresh and vigorous
cobra.-Murray's Magazine.

Food for Reflection.

The New York World of February o says:
THE question as to how much of what
they pretend to know doctors really know
is really very interesting one.
They possess exceptionally great facili-
ties for humbugging, and the presumption
Is that they are not proof in most cases, at
all times at least, against temptation to
make use of them. Their profession comes
as near being an esoteric one as any that is
acknowledged to be respectable. But the
revelation as to their views in the Robinson
arsenical poisoning cases in Boston is start
ling.
There were FIVE deaths from the drug,
and the doctors in their certificates attrib-
uted them respectively to pneumonia, ty-
phoid fever, meningitis, bowel disease and
Bright's disease of the kidneys. The truth
would have never been known but for sus-
picions with which the doctors had nothing
to do. There is food here for reflection
and for doctors"
The above criticism is fully warranted by
the startling ignorance shown by the at
tending physicians in the Somerville Cases
1t can be aptly said that human life is too
often sacrificed to the ignorance and big
otry Of the profession.
Too often it happens that fatal results
follow an improper course of treatment
the physician treats the patient for con-
SUMPTION general debility or for nervous
disorders, whilst the real disease, which is
slowly destroying the kidneys and filing
the system with poison quite as deadly as
arsenic, is altogether overlooked or does not
attract attention until too late.
Physicians too often treat the symptoms
of disease instead OF the disease itself.
It is well established that four-dfths Of
the ordinary Ills which beset humanity arc
the results Of disease in the kidneys which
will yield to the curative properties Of War
ners Safe Cure If timely used, and TO 1t
alone. What is apparently disease in the
other organs is moro oftentimes mere
symptom OF kidney disease, which should
be quickly ersdicated by Warmers Safe
Cure before it secures too firm hold on
those organs.

AN ILLEGAL VOTE.
Albert Cohn Arrested ON q Chars
of Perjury.

Albert Cohn Arrested ON q Charge
Of Perjury.
On the day of the last municipal elec-
ton, Chief Cooney issued orders to sew
eral members OF the detective force to be
on the watch for any instance of illegal vot-
ing. A man by the name of Albert Cohn
voted in Precinct d OF the Seventh
Ward under protest of one of the chal-
lengers. Detective Mccarthy came up
while the discussion of the vote was in
progress, and promptly set about looking
up the mans record.
Cohn was arrested yesterday on
charges of illegal voting and illegal regis
tration. He had cast his vote on card
of registration obtained from the County
Clerk on the 21st of February. On that
occasion he took an oath that he had been
naturalized in the Superior Court on the
previous November, and was given a
registration ticket to that effect. As q
matter of fact, he had never been
naturalized, but had merely taken out
his first papers, those of declaration Of
intention to become citizen. These had
been properly entered on the records
Ou tl0 Obu VI lnob C0PeoAhoOA' AAo
requisite length of time had not passed
for the completion of the naturalization.
In addition to the perjury of false regis
tration and the crime of illegal voting on
the registry thus obtained, Cohn also
voted in the wrong precinct, as by his
residence he should have cast his vote in
Precinct A of the Seventh Ward.
Cohn was arrested yesterday by Detec-
tives Mccarthy and Marsh, who had the
matter in hand. He keeps a grocery
store on Vine street and has been resi-
dent of the city for several years.
On being asked about the matter he
practically admitted the whole charge,
but claimed that he was ignorant of the
requirements of the law in the matter
He speaks the language very well and
has been living in the country since
1880, when he arrived in New York city
from Hamburg. He is about 27 years of
age and is an intelligent man. From
language which he used before election
the authorities are not inclined to take
much stock in his claim Of ignorance.
