Poison Versus Venom.

1t is common to hear people talk about
poisonous" serpents. Quite to the con-
trary are the following remarks of physi-
cian quoted by the New Orleans Picayune:
"Scrpents are never poisonous; they are
venomous. A poison cannot be taken in
ternally without bad effects; n venom can.
Nenoms to be effective have to he injected
directly into the circulation, and this is the
manner i'll which the snakes kill. Their
venom, taken internally. is innocuous.
Another popular error is the suppos;tion
that II snake bites. Probably no creature
i'll the world provided with teeth and Jaws
has so little power of biting Tho jaws are
not hinged, but are attached one to the
other by cartilage. Thus II snake can have
no leverage in opposing one jaw to the 9TH
er and could not in this manner pierce the
skin. The fangs are driven into the flesh
by stroke and not by n bite. A snake is
harmless unless in coil. From it's coil il
throws its head and body forward, and
strikes or hooks its fangs into the object
aimed ut. The entire work is done with
the upper jaw, the lower jaw having moth
ing ut all To do with it. 4 man striking a
boathook into pier furnishes an example
of the way in which snake strikes. Biting
is physical impossibility."

Russell sturgIs on Architecture.

In tracing the growth and relative values
of architecture Mr. Sturgis calls attention
to the fact that different materials were
specially capable of use in making or build

nature closest. Stone was best suited for
structures built upon large lines and en-

natural use of wood was in such work as

she had three rows of bias mordore vel

yoke of fur and velvet to protect her
