Action Of Snake Venom on the Blood.

ACukOH u SAAke venom OH Ci1e tSlOOu.
At the last meeting of the Medical
Society of Victoria, DIR. j. w. Barrett
gave practical demonstration of the
effects of injecting snake venom into
the blood of living rabbits. His ex-
pcriments confirmed beyond doubt the
results obtained by Mr.. Martin, of Sgd
ncy, and stated by him in the Journal
Of Physiology last year, showing that
rapid intravascular in lection of suffi-
cient dose (0.O0O432 gramme per ki1o)
cansed intravascular coagulation of
the blood. The respiration ceased at
death, but the heart continued to beat
for some minutes. When the poison is
injected slowly into the tissues instead
of into the blood, in the same dose,
the blood fails to clot in the body, and
only very slowly, Or not at all, when
drawn. In these respects snake venom
acts in exactly the same manner as
nucleo-albumen, and it appears prob
able that the snake venom produces
nucleo-albumen when injected, though
from what source has yet to be deter
mined. These results tend somewhat
to confirm the original statement of
Prof Halford, that snake venom acts
primarily as a blood-poison.

n Mr. James Payn tells an amusing
story OF the way in which Tennyson's
S' :Timbuctoo" won its prize at the uni
syersity, says the New York Tribune.
n The examiners for the year were
Sthree-the vice chancellor, who had a
great reputation but a violent temper
and did not write very well; classical
professor who knew no poetry thatw
mot in dead language, and a 1nathe-
NAUTICAL professor. twas agreed that
each should signify by the letters ~"
and ''b'' (for good" and ''bad") what
he thought of the poems and the vice
bad the manuscript first. .s
$l# When the mathematical professor
got them he found "Timb uctoo'' scored
all over with ''g's,'' and though he
could not understand why, nor indeed
the poem itself, and did not think it
worth while as he afterward said; the
the fact was that he was afraid to ask
the vice his reasons, SO he wrote ''g'' on
the poem also. The classical professor
thought it rather, funny that both his
predecessors should admire SO unintel-
ligible a production; but, as he said,
she did not care one iota about the
matter" and SO wrote ''g" on it also;
and as no other poem had three ''g's"
the prize was unanimously awarded to
the author of ''Timbuctoo."
Il After all was over the three examin-
ers happened to meet one day and the
vice, in his absolute fashion, fell to
abusing the other two for admiring
the poem. They replied very natu-
rally and with some indignation that
they should never have dreamt of ad-
miring it if he himself had not scored
1t over with ';g's.' ''G's," he said,
they were as for queries, and I
could not understand two consecutive
lines of it,

THE WASP'S MISSION.
It Il an Insect That Has Its Usefulness

1t II an Insect That Has Its Usefulness
in Life.
Most people, especially those who
have been brought into contact with
the wrong end of one, will be disposed
to doubt the utility Of the wasp, that
handsome insect that creates so much
terror when it invades our rooms or
buzzes about our heads in country
lanes Yet really even the wasp has
it's use, and naturalists tell us it plays
a very important part Ill the economy
of nature, says Golden Days.
What hawks, kites. ravens, owls and
birds of prey generally are in the case
of field-mice and other. small destruc-
tive animals, the wasp is to the grubs
and other pests that injltre plant life.
The wasp is very useful, particularly
in orchards The young pupB in the
nest are fed entirely on the grubs
which infest the fruit trees, and but
for the activity of the wasp these pests
would become so numerous as to do
serious injury to the tree. !, ,gIs,.
:, It is quite true, that the wasp also
levies toll upon the fruit, but, as his
labors have contributed largely to the
salvation OF the. crop, that portion
which he eats should not be grudged
him. -, -.. '--F j.. g.
1t should be understood that wasp
is quite harmless, unless it is forced to
defend itself; then Iit is undoubtedly
violent, and makes free use Of the
weapon which nature has given it to

But, if you leave it alone, a wasp will
not sting, although, of course, it is
safer not to let it get too near you, lest
it mistake you for an enemy, with no
pleasant consequences

REIGN OF THE COMMON PEOPLE

An Assurance That Future Wars Must
Have Reasonable Grounds.
We are frequently told by cynical
critics that democracy is on its trial.
but when the democracy demands the
abolition Of standing armies, or urges
| a mutual disarmament, says the West
minister Review, it gives good answer
to critics Of this type. Such facts are suf-
fcient in themselves to enable us to
contrast the blind and stagnant sell
fishness Of callous autocracies with the
advance possible under broader forms
Of government which stimulate the
progress of our race by putting the
destinies Of humanity into it's own
hands. He have in such expressions Of
the popular voice an evidence of a
growing sense of moral and intel
lectual self-respect among the common
people Of the nations of the world. We
are coming to the time when the
peasant and the artisan will inquire into
the merits of quarrel in which they
IRE ordered to sacrifice themselves.
They may refuse to stand up and be
shot down without asking question,
and not be SO easily led away by APP
peals to that spurious patriotism which
has ever been the device by means of
which ambitious monarchs and willy
statesmen have sought to make their
quarrels those of the communities
Hitherto we have had democracy in
name rather than in fact. The way in
which the sayings and doings of mon
archs and statesmen are chronicled by
the press; the manner in which snch
people have been allowed to act with
out question upon affairs of the gravest
concern to humanity; the extent to
which they have been able to count
upon the support of the people in any
war they might resolve upon: the lev
ity often shown by them toward the
interests of the people-without whose
support the most powerful among them
would be reduced to the level of common
clay-in such matters we have proof of
the extent to which we are still gov
erned by men whose chief claim to gov
ern often consists of the fact that their
ancestors did the same before them.

A Novel Idea.

1t is free, and deeply interests every
body who has aches or pains, or who is
weak and sickly. Anyone can learn
the surest and quickest means to get
strong and we'll by accepting that
splendid free offer of the great special
ist in curing nervous and chronic dis
eases, DIR. Greene, of 35 West 18th St.,
New York City. He has established a
system of letter correspondence
through which all sick and suffering
people can learn exactly what ails
them, and how to get well, without
expense and without leaving Their
homes. All they have to do is to write
to the Doctor, stating each symptom
from which they are suffering, and he
will answer their letter, explaining
their case thoroughly, telling just what
the trouble is and what to do to be
cured. He gives the greatest care and
attention to every letter, and tells the
cause of each symptom SO plainly that
patients understand instantly just
what ails them. And all this costs
nothing. 1t is splendid opportunity
for those who cannot afford the time
or expense to go to the city. DR.. Greene
makes a speciality of curing patients
through letter correspondence. He il
the most successful specialist in curing
nervous and chronic diseases, and il
the discOverer of that wonderful medi
cine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. Those who write tc
him get cured.

The relations of the ''Christian
Scientists" to the civil law is one of
the troublesome questions of these
days. There are sincere American
men and women who believe that the
incident recorded of Paul when at
Lystra he cured a cripple, 'perceiving
that he had faith to be cured" repre-
sents not miraculous but a natural
condition of human life. A western
paper says that diphtheria recently
broke out in Indianapolis, and the
spread of the disease alarmed the an
thorities. Investigation showed that
the growth of the epidemic was due to
some "Christian Scientists" When
the disease appeared In their families,
they refused to call physicians and to
administer medicine, making no effort
to save the victims except to offer
prayers. Defying the rules of the
board of health, the Scientists met at
the bedEides of patients and went from
one house to another, carrying the
seeds of the disease. So far as carry
ing contagion from house to house is
concerned the tramping of these peo-
pie could legally be halted under the
law of nuisance. but the refusal of
families to call physicians and give
medicine, or the refusal of the patient
to take medicine, is beyond the juris-
diction of government under present
laws.-AleCandriG Times.

thought he'd fool me. Making out to

out, what do you think he did? Why,
he grabbed our world, that we're liv-

The Monroe Doctrine in Danger.

LONDON, October 10 The Spectator
published striking article on the Mon.
roe doctrine. 1t says that Englishmep
have no sort of objection to the true
Monroe doctrine. They want no exten.
sion of territory in America, but rather
desire that the Anglo Saxon race be
left to develop unmolested. This the
Monroe doctrine secures. Canning's
keen political imagination forecasted
the doctrine, he having been the first
to propose it's practical application
The doctrine might be the foundation
stone of an alliance between the two
peoples, Great Britain and the United
States, agreeing to guard their posses.
sions in America, applying the Monroe
doctrine to all the other powers. Only
one serious danger to the doctrine
exists. If Great Britain ever lost com
mand of the sea, that command passing
to France or Russia, the United States
would find that the doctrine was waste
paper and would be obliged to conquer
the sea from the victor or abandon the
doctrine.
