SNAKE STONES OF CEYLON,

They will Cure the Bite Of a Cobra, the
Most Deadly Of Serpents.
The so-called ''snake stones" of Cey-
lon are celebrated for the efficacy which
they are supposed to have in curing the
bites of venomous serpents. Secrecy is
maintained as to the method of their
manufacture, which is lucrative bust
ness carried on by monks, who supply
the merchants of India with them Very
high prices are demanded for them.
They are emplsyed in the familiar man.
ner by being placed on thewound, their
absorbent material sucking *sup the
blood and incidentally the venom, as is
claimed. There is plenty of authentic
evidence of remarkable cures performed
by such snake stones, though science is
as yet reluctant to place any belief in
them.
Sir j. E. Tennent, to whose work on
Ceylon we are indebted, tells of an &C.
casion when he was riding along jun
gle path on the island, and he saw one
or two natives who were approaching
suddenly dart"of from the road and re-
turn Immediately with a cobra, the
most deadly of all serpents, grasped
by the head and tail. The man
tried to place the snake in
covered basket, but handed it so mex
pertly that it seized him by the finger
and re tanned it's hold for few seconds.
Blood flowed and intense pain appeared
to follow: As quickly as possible the
other native undid his own waist cloth
and took from it two snake stones; each
the size of small almond, intensely
black and highly polished, though ex-
tremely light These he applied one to
each wound inflicted by the teeth of the
cobra They attached themselves close
~, the blood that oozed from the bite
being rapidly imbibed by the porous
substance. After three or four minutes
they dropped of and the suffering of
the man seemed tn have subsidized. He
twisted his fingers until the joints
cracked and went on his way without
concern. It has been ascertained with
certainty that these snake stones are
usually nothing more than pieces of
burned bone. The Mexican recipe for
making snake stone is to take frag-
ment of deer's horn of any convenient
size and shape, cover it. with grass, in
close both in q thin piece of sheet cop
