was awarded for lacquer, n product in
the magnificent manufacture of which
Japan has always held the pre-emi-

AN AN GENT PROBLEM SOLVED
Baron Won Muller and the Cure of Snake
Poisoning.

-
Poisoning.
The Governor-GeneraI of Indin re-
Gently received communication from
Baron Won Muller, an eminent scientific
authority of Melbourne, announcing
that he has discovered the real cause
and effective cure of snake-poisoning.
Hitherto, says the London Standard,
the mode in which the venom of SER
pents produced fatal effects has been a
mystery. The elaborate series of ex-
periments carried out by the Victorian
savant have, he states, not only rem
dcred it clear how the poison operated
In producing death, but have pointed
out remedy which, when applied in
time, will save the life of the patient.
According to Herr Won Muller the
venom of serpents does not destroy the
tissue of the body, but has merely
dynamic effect, suspending the action
)f the motor and vasomotor nerve cen
erS. This discovery at once indicated
hat the proper kind of antidote would
DC something that would 'stimulate and
increase the functional activity of these
nerve centers."
The remedy is supplied by strych-
nine, which is directly antagonistic in
its action to snake poison. Herr Won
Muller has applied strychnine upon a
large number of persons bitten by
tiger-snalcs and other venomous ser
pents, and with invariable success.
The way in which he employs it is to
insert ten or twenty minins of the drug
under the skin Of the patient, and re-
peat the operation every fifteen minutes
until slight. muscular spasms are pro-
duced, these being an unfailing sign
that the patient is out of danger. Large
doses of strychnine may be injected
into the blood of a person who has been
bitten without producing any injury un-
til it has completely neutralized the eff
feet of the snake poison.
The Importance of this discovery, if
confirmed can hardly be ovclrated. In
India, where twenty Thousand persons
are killed by poisonous serpents every
year, Baron Won Mullcr's communion
tion has naturally been received with
the deepest interest.

The Difference In wooJ..

1t may not be generally known, saws
the American Exporter, that very large
quantities of axe, spade and shove!
handles are shipped to England and
South America, and the business to
Brazil is rapidly increasing. Those
countries do not have the wood of which
handles are made. The wood in the
United States has o. long, whalebone
fiber; in tropical countries the woods
have short grain, hard, and therefore
capable of a high polish, but brittle.
and will not spring. An. exception Is;
found in lance wood, and that has, it's.
special uses in the United States,
