slightest hesitation or dismay. In large
glass tank she plays hide and seek with
huge serpents and several large alligators.
The illustration is from photograph taken
at the aquarium. In speaking of her, Cap
tain Swan, her husband, said: "Weil, the
great thing is nerve-nerve and knowledge
of the habits of animals. 1t is necessary to
know exactly how to catch hold of them,
and to catch hold at the exact moment. The
boa. for instance, is allowed to twine itself
as it will, to certain extent, but its move
ments have to be checked at given instant,
or madame would be crushed to death in a
minute or two.
''The alligators all come from the Missis-
sippi; the largest, about Z feet long, is be-
tween 80 and 80 years old-we tell the age
by the number of rings on the tail-another
is 35 years, and third 20. They are vicious
brutes, can tell you, and want very smart
handling. The performance in the water is
more dangerous than that on the stage, be-
cause out the tank it Is easier to give the
slip to snake or alligator showing fight.
A point requiring attention is to keep them
warm. Here they are kept at comfortable
heat of 75o, which always insures their
being lively, and the water in the tank is
also about that emperature."
''How does Madam contrive to stay so
long under water?"
"Beiore allowing her head to sink beneath
the surface she exhales, and then inhales
deeply. By this mean she has managed to
stay under as long as three minutes. Of
course, that means the possession of strong
lungs"

THE CURE OF LoCKJAW,
Treatment Based on the Theory of a
Local specific Poison.

Treatment Based on the Theory of a
Local specific Poison.
Boston Herald.1
Not long ago German physician seeking
light on that terrible disease lockjaw found
that inoculations with the blood and other
fluids of the body of a victim failed to pro-
duce this malady; but when fluids were
used which had been squeezed from the
wound, or scraped from its immediate vi
cinity, which had caused lockjaw, then the
disease was invariably produced. This, Of
course, would indicate that the direct cause
the specific poison Of lockjaw-remains
near its point of entrance, and that local
treatment is imperative. DR.. Pavilini ac-
cepts this theory, and recommends SUBJ
cutaneous injections of carbolic acid in the
treatment of the disease.
He cites the case of boy, Is years old,
who was attacked with lockjaw in severe
form alter being wounded on the foot. The
usual remedies were at first applied without
any effect On the fourth day per cent
solution of carbollc acid was injected near
the seat of the injury. Similar injections
were repeated every three hours during the
first four days. Improvement began on
the second day. Recovery finally took
place. The injections, gradually decreased
In frequency, were kept up until the 9th
day. Another case OF recovery under the
same treatment has been reported.
