Cobra Venom.

DR.. Calmctte began his experiments
with the most powerful of the reptile
poisons and made An analysis Of the
venom of the cobra
One Of the most curious facts in sci
ence is that two substances having al
most identically the same chemical
compositions can have effects so differ
ent upon the human body as to repre-
sent the best support Of life on tho one
hand aud the quickest termination Of it
on the other. The albumen, or white,
Of an egg and the poison of the cobra of
India are SO nearly identical in compo-
sition that it takes very careful analy-
sis to detect tho difference.
1t was long supposed that the fatal
principle Of snake poison was an animal
nlkaloid, but late analyses have caused
the abandonment Of this idea The fact
which, for long time, placed cobra
poisoning beyond the reach Of 3 remedy
was its very similarity to albumen, it
being held that no specific which would
neutralize or destroy it could be pre-
vented from neutralizing and destroy

The building faces on Ludlow
street and Essex Market place and
consists OF one storyy the largest in
the city, the distance being sixty-iive
feet from the street to the roof. The
structure is in the shape OF an l., and
In the rear is the famous courtyard,
fifty feet square, which is bounded
by brick buildings and fence thirty
feet high. The internal arrangements
are simple and convenient. On the
first floor is the Warden's room and
Office, kitchen, dining-room and re.

consult with their counsel. Only the
star boasders can use this dining
room.
The entrance to the floor above Is
by spiral stairway which leads to
a large corridor. The prison facing
on Essex Market piscs is used as the
debtors prison, and the Ludlow
street wing is occupied by prisoners
charged with ofienses against the

debtors prison is a library filled
with old, musty books, which are
rarely disturbed. Most of the eighty
seven cells contain two beds and
the ventilation of each cell, and, In
fact, Of the Jail itself, is perfect.

The prisoners are sent to the
County Jail on civil process, usually
in the form Of attachments, orders Of
arrest and execution, and the only
debtors confined are those who use
some kind Of fraud in contracting a
debt The Imprisonment in this
class Of cases is limited by law, and
they are bailable. The prisoner ut

before Tweed arrived there from
BlackwelPs Island. He was held
under $3, 600, 900 bail, and there was
no chance OF his getting out. The

It Is mot generally known that
Ludlow Street Jail Is the county
prison Of this county. The first
county Jail stood for nearly century
In Eidridge street. near Hester street.
t was known as the debtors prison,
and was the silent witness OF the
rise and fall OF the fashionable quar-.
ter on the East side. The little two.
story building was torn down several
years ago to make room for the
frowning tenements, aud it was we'll
to get 1t out OF the way, as 1t was u
constant reminder OF the miseries
and frailties Of humanity, and 1t did
not take much OF the stretch OF the
Imagination to see In the barred
windows the faces Of the ragged
wretches, who. common report had
1t, were often starved to death.
Perhaps Ludlow Street Jail has
never been as bad as the old debtors
prison, but 1t hos been bad enough In
other ways than cruelty to receive
condemnation Mt every hand. About
all the good that can be said OF the
place is that 1t was Il factor In fore.
Ing men to be honest and to work Mt

the creditors threatened them with
Imprisonment.
The present county jail was built
In 1860 by the Board OF Supervisors.
The man who suggested the new jail
building and superintcnded its con-
struction was William NJ. Tweed, who
was then supervisor. His nam Q
