COBRA.
THE rOloON Cr THE COBRA.
So Far No Remedy Has Been Discovered
for 1t.

The bite of the terrible cobra of In
dia is looked upon as meaning certain
death. 1t is not surprising that exper-
iments to determine the nature of this
awful poison should attract wide at
tention, when they are made in a
scientific manner emitting their re-
suits 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, says
Youths Companion, and leaves vel
low substance resem bling gum arabic,
or the dried albumen of egg, which is
easily pulverized. The activity of the
poison is destroyed by prolonged boil

AN ANGEL IN THe SKY.
Peculiar Effect of the Clouds While the
Lightning Was Flashing

Peculiar Effect of the Clouds While the
Lightning Was Flashing
One of the most wonderful, as well
as the most awe inspiring, sights ever
seen in Baltimore was an appearance
seen last night in the heavens, says
the Baltimore Herald. Attention was
frequently called to a certain point in
the sky, where an almost continuous
electrical display in the shape of flashes
and sheets of light was to be seen. The
flashes were so vivid and uninterrupted
that the Southern sky for the space of
a half hour was brilliantly Illuminated.
Suddenly dark clouds showed them
selves and the flashes stopped. When
they began again a perfect figure of an
angel, robed in the purest white,
showed itself. The illusion was perfect.
Two riffs in the clouds formed the
wings, and a small cloud the raiment.
A slight projection from the garment
formed the feet, and no better resem-
blance could be wished. All this time

figure stand out in life like proper
tions, and the occasional flashes of
light gave it a sort of halo that made
the effect almost supernatural. People
all over the city were awe-stricken,
and some were seen to fall on their
knees. It was as if the blackness of
the night had broken the spot and this
figure raj descending to earth. For
five minutes it lasted, and great excite
ment attended its presence. An old
colored woman saw it and screamed:
"Oh, Lord, look dereI" and tainted
away. No one could induce her to be-
lieve that it was simply a cloud effect.
When the strange phenomenon began
to clear the whole thing was easily
understood, although many nervous
people have not yet gotten over the
fright it gave them.

night for personal gain or seeking
fame. I have rendered my services to
the Lord in a worthy cause, and if He
don't kick on my lecture none of you
fellows have a right to-"
Fora moment some of the old veteran
believers on the front seats looked hor-
rified; then a jolly, fat sister, whom l
have ever since recalled with a feeling
of gratitude, laughed outright. Her
mirth was contagious, and a moment
later the whole audience joined in a
laugh, which made the gass jets flicker.
Placing my manuscript before me,
as I had seen other speakers do, I be
gan again, struck a big word that 1
had forgotten how to pronounce, felt a
c~onfagration starting in my face,
swallowed at the fragments of the big
word, which was sticking in my throat,
and then stopped-stuck-not able to
utter a word. A telling OF desperation
came over me, and, Selling the a
script, 1 tore it into pieces, and hurled
the fragments to the floor. I then told
my audience that I had prepared what
a few friends to whom I had submitted
it pronounced the best lecture ever
written, but I could not read it, and
with their permission I would aban-
don the idea of delivering a lecture and
just talk to them a while.
1 began with some simple bits of
Western experience, and as I warmed
up to the work other experiences came,
flooding my memory; stories which l
had forgotten came back to me and
demanded recognition, and I fired them
into the listening ears before me; poems
of my own production presented them
selves in places which seemed especially
fitted for them, and 1 recited them
just as I had often done to the boys
around the campfire in the noun
tains, and, through all the evening, [ had
those good, Christian people worked up
to a pitch of enthusiasm which often
burst forth in the most generous ap-
plause or most hearty laughter. Icould
hear the pastor behind me at times
groan, and say oh, DEAR" and laugh
until I imagined l could feel the pulpit
tremble, while the good face" in front
of me were contorted with merriment
into the most grotesque shapes.
When l at last subsidized and sank into
a seat, exhausted, t Re pastor grRsped
my hand, patted me Familiarity on the
shoulder, and assured me I hadproved
a revelation to the congregation. He
said he had never been more highly
entertained, had never laughed more
heartily, and with a queer smile,
added:
