Antidote for Snnke Bites.

An interesting illustration of the
antagonistic action of poisons is men
toned in the current number of the
Pharmaceutical journal DIR. Mueller,
of Tackandandah, Victoria, has written
a letter in which ne states, says our
contemporary, that in cases of snake
bite he is using a solution of nitrate of
strychnine in 240 parts of water mixed
with little glycerine. Twenty
minims of this solution are in
jected In the usual manner of q
hypodermic injection, and the fire.
quency of repetition depends upon the
symptoms being more or less threat
ening, say from ten to twenty minutes.
When all symptoms have disappeared,
the first independent action of the
strychnine is shown by slight muscu-
lar spasms, and then the injections
must be discontinued unless after a
time the snake poison reasserts itself.
The quantity of strychnine required
in some cases has amounted to a grain
or more within few hours. Both
poisons are thoroughly antagonistic
and no hesitation need be felt in
pushing the use of the
drug to quantities that would
be fatal in the absence of snake poison.
Out of about 100 cases treated by this
method, some of them at the point of
death, there has been but one failure,
and that arose from, the injections be-
ing discontinued after II grains OF
strychnine had been injected. ANY
part of the body will do for the mice
tions, but DR.. Mueller is in the habit of
making them in the neighborhood of
the bitton part or directly upon it.

A Great Blast.

A great blast was TO have taken
place at Mr.. p. Callanan's quarries, at
South Bethlehem, N. Y, on june 10,
but it failed, owing to imperfections
In the electric wir ng, and was dis
appointment to thousands of people
who had congregatcd TO witness the
explosion, and to many who expected
to note some important results from
the method employed in charging
The failure was due solely to the
inefficiencv OF the electrician who had
charge of the wiring, and the greatest
sympathy was felt by all with Mr..
Callahan, who had spared no pains nor
expense to make the occasion success
full and impressive.
The quarries are situated at an angle
In the great limestone ridge which
passes through this section. Previous
excavation has given the quarry very
uniform face, crescent shaped, and
about 400 feet long, with perpendic-
ular height of 100 feet. About 60 feet
from the base of the cliff Is ledge or
Offset, so that the top Of the cliff is set
back some 20 feet. The blast holes
were drilled on the ledge and at the
top, being at an average distance of 10
feet back OF the face. The holes were

strength Of Anchor Bolts.

From a number of careful tests lately
made to ascertain the precise strength
of anchor bolts set in Portland cement
in the ordinary way, the fact appeared
that the joint was really stronger than
the stone. In this demonstration, two
inch iron rods were set into the stones
some eleven and one-half inches, and
then subjected to the test.
The frst rod had screw thread
to improve the grip of the ce-
ment, and the cement began to yield at
a load of $4,000 pounds, the breaking of
the stone taking place at $4,000. With
a plain, smooth rod, it was found that
the cement began to yield at load of
$4,000 pounds, but the rock broke at
$1,000 pounds. Thus, though the
strength of the cement joint was not
developed, it was inferred that, in a
suitable setting, the cement joint on a
smooth rod might he made to break
the rod.

became citizen of Tennessee. He
studied medicine and was graduated
from Rush Medical college, Chicago,
and from the University of Tennessee,
ut Nashville. In 1862 he entered tho
Union army, was captured and escaped
from prison at Macon by tunneling.
subsequently he served in connection
with the Seventh Tennessee volun-
teer cavalry. Beginning the prac.
tice of law in 1868, he was
at the same time elected member of
the Tennessee Legislature, and in 1872
was the Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the Eighth district, becoming
in the following year United States At
torney for the western district of Ten
nessee, which position he held for eight
years. In 1884 he became State rail
road commissioner, and the follow
ing year was one of the Re-
publican nominee for the Supreme
bench. In 1887 he received the
vote of the Republicans in the Legisla-
ture for United States Senator.
Thomas c. Fuller was born in Fay
etteville, N. c., and is S. years of age.
lie was educated at the University of
the late Hon. Richmond M. Person,
who was for many years Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of North Caro-
lima. He commenced the practice Of
law at Fayetteville in 1856, and prac-
ticed till the commencement of the
war. He was in the military
and civil service of the
confederacy during the whole war, and
at its close resumed the practice of the
law at Fayetteville and continued
there until the spring OF 1872. He
then moved TO Raleigh and formed q
partnership with Hon. Augustus S.
Merrimon. ex-Unitcd States Senator,
and now Chief Justice of the Supreme
court of North Carolina, and Samuel
A. Ashe, now editor of the News and
Observer newspaper In 1854, Judge
Merrimon and Capt. Ashe having gone
the one on the bench and the other
into journalism, the firm was dissolved
ana MIR. Fuller then formed a law
partnership with George ii. Snow,
Esq, and this partnership continued at
Raleigh till June 18th, 1891, when Mr..
Fuller accepted the position of asso-
ciate justice of the court of private
land claims, to which he was appoint
ed by Presi cnt Harrison on June 10th
Mr.. Fuller has always been hard
working lawyer, is Democrat IN
politics, and has never been an Office
seeker, though he was elected to the
house of representatives in 1865, but
did not take his seat, as his State was
not then entitled to representation in
congress.

This stand pipe was erected for the
purpose of forcing water above the
first floors of houses on Jersey City
heights. The pipe is 100 feet in height
and feet in diameter. 1t is put up in
twenty two courses of wrought iron,
of three different thicknesses. The
first seven courses are made of

gage a letter guide and throw
it from the pivot pin. The figure at
the top in the illustration is a sectional
edge view of the scissors, and just be.
low is shown the guide attachment used
in opening envelopes. The screw by
which the blades are pivoted together
has an angular hange or rib below its
head, forming washer which bears
upon the upper blade, and an annular
recess between the washer and the
screw head adapted TO receive the letter
guide. The latter is thin and fiat, and
curved TO conform with the Hanged side
of the thinner blade, so that when the
blades are closed together it will fit the
fange, the guide being secured to the
other blade, so that inner edge will
be little in advance of the edge of the
blade. The guide is doubled over at
right angles near its outer end and
perforated to receive stud on the
outer end of the blade on which
it fits, the inner end of the guide
being rounded to fit the semi
circular recess in the other blade, near
the pivot point, and being slotted TO
fit closely upon the screw. When the
guide is not in place the scissors are
used IN the ordinary way, but with
the guide in position the end of an en-
velope passed between the blades is
stopped by the guide, as shown in the
small sectional figure at the left in the
picture, so that only a narrow strip
will be cut from the extreme end of
the envelope, without danger of cut
ting anything it may enclose.

Wicked Old Woman.

They have a very wicked old woman
in Connecticut-oldi in years and old in
crime. She was born in 1913, and
nearly fifty years of her life nave been
passed in prison. Her most conspicu.
GUS crime was committed in 1874, when
she was temporarily employed IN a
fashionable boarding house inHartford.
One day she sneaked into her en-
ployer's room when she was asleep,
chloroformed her, and robbed her of
herjewels and large amount of money.
The haul would have been considered
a rich one in these days. She was cap
tured, and spent seven years in Jail for
the crime.
Soon after her liberation she commit
ted daring theft in Waterbury, for
which she did time, and then she went
to Bridgeport, where she robbed a wo-
man of large sum of money. Her last
conspicuous crime was the robbery Of
a private residence In Hartford when
she was seventy-six years old.

A PRIVATE LAND COURT.
IT WILL DECIDE MANY GREAT
HOMESTEAD CASES.
A Forecast oil the Work with Brief
sketches of the Four Men who
Constitute the New Court-One Case
Alone Involves 800, 100000.

The new Private Land Court, which
organized at Denver, Col, on the LIST
of July, under the act of March Sd,
1891, will adjudicate greater interests
in its brief career than were ever
passed upon by minor tribunal in the
history of jurisprudenc. 1t will ascer-
taic and declare the ownership to
countless millions in values,
which have been for generations In
dispute between determined and pow
ertul adversaries. God, silver, lead
and coal mines, and water rights that
caunot be valued in dollars, will come
under its Hltiny. Its DEGREES will be
surrounded by the romance of quick
and splendid fortunes where least ex-
pected. The development of prodig-
ious interests in the precious metals
has been prevented for quarter of a
century by conflicts which the court
was created by Congress to settle.
One case alone is estimated to involve
SlCO, 100000. The claimant, Donna
Sophia Nicola Perolta de la Cor
dova Reavis, beautiful Spaniard of
thirty years, seeks to upset the title of
400, 900 acres of agricultural, mining,
and desert lands in Arizona, a part of
what was once known as New Spain.
The five judges of the court must as
sumo the responsibility of
deciding for or against the fair
claimant in this grand and am
The Coconino sun. [volume] (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1891-1891, 1891-10-01

bilious litigation. But there are other
petitions TO be reviewed which may in
volve even greater interests, though in
fewer acres An innoceDt-looking
claim for 100 acres of rock ledge, with
grub-stalte prospcctor to fight it, may
turn out to rival the famous Comstock
lode in the opulence of its wealth.
The judges must decide IN many cases
doubtless upon shadowy proof, be-
tween the poor prospector in possession
aud the scheming man of wealth who
has had tip on the probable value
of the ledge.
There will be many sympathetic
cases before the court; cases in which
squattcrs with families, who have moth
ing TO show for the lands they hold,
will have to bs ousted If a way cannot
be found to let them hold on. But the
law creating the court is very generous
with this class of people. There are
many thousands of Spanish-speaking
citizens in New Mexico and Titan who
occupy nds for which they have abso-
lutely no title; and in the great major
ity of instances these lands have been
held in the family for generations. BY
strict application of Jaw these peo.
pie would all have to be elected by
the court if their cases were
brought before il. Mr.. Hobart, the
surveyor general of New Mexico, fore
saw the state of affairs which was
likely to follow the harsh action OF
law against the ''greaser' squatters,
and he secured the incorporation of
the very liberal, not to say eXtraor-
binary, provision in the bill which
gives q good title, without cost, to 100
acres TO each of these persons who can
prove twenty years of occupancy either
by themselves or their ancestors,
granturs, or their lawful successors in
title or possession" This would seem
TO be broad enough TO let them nearly
all IN.
