The bite of the terrible cobra of India
is looked upon as meaning certain death.
1t is not surprising that experiments to
determine the nature of this awful
poison should attract wide attention
when they are made in d scientific man.
, ner emitting their results to be accepted
with confidence. Such experiments have
recently been conducted by Mr.. A. A.
Kanthack. The venom was obtained
by pressing the heads of living cobras.
by which nerve trying operation the
deadly fluid was squeezed out of the
fangs.
The fluid dries very quickly and leaves
yellow substance resembling gum
arabic or the dried albumen of egg, which
is easily pulverized. The activity of the
poison is destroyed by prolonged boiling,
concentrated solution of it withstand
ing the effects of boiling for an hour or
two before entirely losing its poisonous
action. A weak solution could be rem
dered innocuous by being boiled from 20
minutes to half an hour.
But of course this can give no comfort
to any victim Of a cobra bite, since the
venom, once injected into his blood,
could by no possibility be subjected to
such process of boiling.
Ammonia and chlorine water also
proved capable of destroying the poison
if applied to it for a considerable time
in strong solutions, and carbolic acid con-
siderably delayed its poisonous action.
Some hope had been raised that doses
of strychnia might prove means of
cure, but the experiments showed that
there was no foundation for this hope.
So far, then, cure for the bite of the
cobra remains to be discovered

For the privilege of wearing trousers
the French government charges women
tax of from $40 to $12 year. This by
no means gives every woman who is
willing to pay the tax right to wear
trousers. The government instead con-
fers the right as a tribute to great
merit. Trousers are. in fact, sort of
decoration given to women as the ribbon
of the Legion of Honor is given to men
The only women to whom has been

Some of the English towns and cities
have introduced device for ventilating
sewers-a Bunsen gas burner operating
to heat to a high temperature series of
cast iron cones over the surfaces of
which the sewer gases have to pass on
their way out to the atmosphere, which
by such contact are entirely destroyed
In order to obviate all danger of explo-
sion caused by leakage. this new safety
furnace consists of series of cylindric-
al rings or segments, each mechanical
ly fitted. An intermediate ring divides
the combustion chamber from the verti-
cal air passages formed between the in
ner and outer ring of the furnace. The
heat of the furnace is conveyed to the
outer ring by means of thick cast iron
webs that form tiers of air channels
through which the uprising sewer air
passes, and the burner is supplied with
air taken from the outside of the .'de-
structor column. New York Sun.

When thou turn'st away from i'll.
Christ is this side of thy hill.
When thou turnest toward good.
Christ is walking in thy wood.
When thy heart says. "Father, pardoni"
Then tho Lord is In thy garden.
When stern duty wakes to watch.
Then his hand is on the latch.
But when Hope thy song doth rouse.
Then the Lord is in the house.
When TO love is all thy wit,
Christ doth at thy table sit.
When Gods will is thy hearts pole.
Then Is Christ thy very soul.

The Chameleon.
FLORIDA VISITOR WHO THOUGHT 1T
WAS TIME TO SWEAR OFF.
From The Chicago Tribune.

From The Chicago Tribune
A tipsy travelling man took an i'm
presslve vow never again to taste liquor
yesterday. He was in earnest, too. He
had good reason to be, for he thought
he had 'em. This is how it happened {:
l.. b. Dyke, Colorado mine owner,
on his way from St. Augustine, Fla,
went into the bar room of the Great
Northern.
Among other curious things picked
up in the city Of the Southeastern pc
ninsula he had fine chameleon, lit
tie fellow with body about an inch
and half long and tapering tail two
inches long. This he wore as scarf
pin, having it tethered to his tie by a
fine gold chain. At the bar stood a
travelling man, who was telling his
companions, in a maudin tone, of a
wonderful concoction of mixed drinks
he had discovered. Happening to
glance at Mr.. Dyke, he caught sight
of the chameleon. The glance was a
casual one, but soon became fixed in
intensity. The chameleon seemed to
fascinate him. He was able to look
away from 1t but for an instant at a
time, and then his gaze was diverted
toward the untouched glass of liquor
in front of him. Finally he seemed
unable to stand the suspense longer
and approached Mr.. Dyke.
"Pardon me-" he said in a husky
voice, ''out that's queer scarf.pln you
wear"
"You are mistaken sir; l wear no
scarf-pin."
"Whatl"
81 wear no pin in my scarf" AS if
to emphasize his denial he brushed his
hand lightly over the PIN. The cham
eleon ran rapidly to the end of the
chain and rested on his coat collar.
"Great Heavens, man, it moved (!
"It's on your coat collar now
"Oh, l guess you're mistaken. See,
there is nothing there" and again the
hand touched the animated pin. This
time the chameleon ran down out of
sight beneath Mr.. Dykes vest.
"No, there is nothing there said
the travelling man, slowly. He stood
there fully minute, apparently obliv.
lous to all surroundings A fearful
possibility seemed to present itself to
him. Finally he raised his right hand.
81 swear l will never touch a drop Of
liquor again as long as l live. I've
often heard of them but never thought
I'd see 'em," and, leaving the liquor
untouched he slowly walked to the
elevator and had bell boy show him
to his room.
"Chameleons are common in Flori-
da," said Mr.. Dyke. "Ladies as we'll
as gentlemen wear them for orna-
ments."
