Last winter he went to Canada and

1NocULATRD BY SNAKE POISON.
Immunity From Harm Enjoyed by 'Charm-
 ers'' of Serpents.

Immunity From Harm Enjoyed by "Charm-
 ers'' of Serpents.
 As a result of recent investigations it would seem that science has at last un- earthed the strange secret of the snake charmer. For years 1t has been mys- tery how certain individuals could han dle the most yenomous reptiles with i'm punity. suffering not the slightest harm full effects, even if bitten repeatedly Some time since it was suggested that this immunity from the evil effects of the poison might be due to the fact that the charlffers have frequently been accident ally bitten by cobras and karts, and having survived the first attack, expe- rienced no evil effect from subsequent bites. Much attention has been directed In India to the experiments which have lately been made with a view to deter mine the value of this theory, and it has been clearly shown that when the ven om is introduced into the system in grad ually increasing doses the subject need not fear the vicious fangs of the reptile.
 Cases of immunity from scorpion stings are also well known. A gentleman in h. dla, hearing of a Mohametan fakir who had established a reputa tion for himself in this respect, determined to investigate the case and banish, if possible, all chance of trickery He therefore dug up the scorpions himself, and these formid- able creatures he describes as being from D to z inches long. with claws like those of Holsters.
 These scorpions the fakir was told to irritate but to avoid adopting the course usually pursued by the fakirs for this purpose, namely, by pinchng the end of the tail. This is almost a sure way of preventing the scorpions from sting ing. By touching them on the part of the body indicated. each one of them stung him strongly enough to draw blood. but the man was apparently none the worse. There could be no doubt as to the gen uineness of the exhibition, and the fakir was believed when he said he had fre- quently been the victim of the scorpions sting

and is celebrated for it's many changes of color when dying The bonito grows to be about 3 feet long, has a beautiful greenish back, with white, silvery belly. It is frequently, but erroneously, called a dolphin.
 The dolphin being so swift MT Nat Herrschoff, the designer of the Defender, Vigilant, Wasp and Gloriana, took 1t as a model for his boats. The fact that he succeeded in building the fastest boats in the world demonstrates his wisdom in the selection of a model. Begging the flying flsh's pardon for leaving them so abruptly, 1 will devote a few more lines to them. It is a common thing to see a dolphin, or a shoal of them, flush shoal of flying fish. Each dolphin picks out a fish, and swimming on the surface of the water as fast as the fish can fly grabs it as soon as it strikes the water. It seems incredible that a fish can swim so fast, but nevertheless it does. Occasions ally a sea-gull happens along and grabs the flying fish before the dolphin gets his mouth upon it.
 We often met that Venturesome little mariner, the nautilus, riding over the waves as complacently as if he were a great ship instead of bit of fragile she'll with a membraneous pink or white sail He never carries cargo and is him. self his only passenger.
