RECKLESS PROFESSOR.
He Allows q Rather to Bite Him just for
an Experiment.

he ALLOWS q hattler TO bite him Just Ior
an Experiment..
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 24.-Professor
George Boyer, curator of Tulane uni
versity museum, in this city, allowed
himself to be bitten by rattlesnake in
order to determine if person can be
inoculated and rendered proof against
the venom of serpents.
From his large collection of snakes he
selected a young rattler that had been
caught few days ago He teased the
snake until it was angry, then held out
his hand in such a position that the rat
tier struck his little finger The profess
sor did not use any antidote, and
awaited developments. In the course
of few hours the finger became swol-
len to twice it's normal size
The professor said that during the
week he would allow himself to be bit
ten again. He does not think the bite
will prove fatal because young snake
cannot emit as much poison as an old
one. The sensation was very much like
the sting of bee, but the pain was in
tense. Professor Beyer's object in ex-
perimenting is to prove that by the
gradual absorption of snakes venom,
the system will become inoculated, and
a person in that condition can be bitten
without the result proving fatal. Pro
fessor Boyer thinks his experiment will
be successful
