What Antiven!ne May Do.

Professor Fraser of Edinburgh has at
tackled the problem of finding an anti
dote for snake bite, and there is every
reason to hope that his labors will not
be for naught. Starting with the COM
monty accepted theory, which he finds
to be true, that snake is itself immune
to snake poison, he argues that this i'm
munity must be due to the absorption in
the blood of the poisonous matter. He
next procured some venom, chiefly
cobra poison, and ascertained by direct
experiment the minimum lethal dose to
a small animal. The dose was gradual
ly increased without any inconvenience
to the animal Indeed it grew fat under
the treatment until it could receive by
simultaneous injection enough poison to
kill so creatures its size.
The next step showed that the blood
serum from animals thus treated was
able, in varying conditions of adminiS
tration, perfectly to prevent lethal doses
of the venom of the most poisonous SER
penis from producing death in nonpro-
tected animals The new remedy is
named antivenine, and it's discovery
may be regarded as one of the most i'm
portant of the century. - Chambers
Journal 4.

Self Lighting Gas.

How is gas to be made to light itselfi
Dukes self lighting gas burner is SIM
ply an ordinary gas burner with small
tube at the side. This is screwed into
the bracket or other fitting, the gas is
turned on, and in from six to ten Sec
onds the gas lights itself. This is how
it is done: The gas in issuing from the
burner passes over a small knob Of por-
GUS material impregnated with rare
and indestructible metal, which as soon
as the gas passes over it becomes redhot.
This red heat is communicated to o
small piece Of platinum wire which i'm
mediately becomes incandescent and
lights the gas. The little black knob is
practically indestructible, as is also the
platinum wire. Therefore, as long as
the burner exists, the gas on being turn
ed on will light itself. London Trans

The Chief Justices washington Homo.

The chief justice and Mrs. Fuller
have concluded not to renew the lease
of the house on the corner Of Massachu-
sets avenue and Eighteenth street in
which they have resided for the past
few years, since moving from the Bar
Der house on Fourteenth street and the
Boundary. The chief justice, early in
the summer, purchased summer home
at Sorrento, Me-, and with his family
has been spending the summer at that
place. Mrs. Fuller came to Washington
in advance Of the family to select suit
able house in which to spend the win
ter. If the chief justice can find house
that exactly suits him, he will become
property holder in Washington, as has
long been his wish.
It will be remembered that when the
chief justice and Mrs. Fuller decided
some years since to move from the
Boundary, they looked about for suit
able house to purchase for their perma-
nent home in this city. Their choice at
that time fell upon the large, square,
old fashioned house Oh the northeast side
of Thomas circle, owned and occupied
by Judge and Mrs. Wiley.
Finally an offer from the chief JUS
tice for 800, 900 was accepted by Judge
Wiley, and every arrangement to move
into it was about completed when the
transaction was suddenly and definitely
brought to a close by Mrs. Wiley's re-
fusal to sign the necessary papers. The
reason for this was the house had been
home to her for so many years that
when it came to moving she could not
bear to break up all the pleasant associ-
atoms of the years by permanently part
ing with the property. Washington

Abrahan's Supreme Trial of Faith and the
saving;of Isaac From Being offered as q
sacrIHce-Rey. DR.. Talmage's Mastery
Sermon.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-In his sermon
for today Rev. Dr.. Talmage chose for
his subject Abraham supreme trial Of
faith and the angelic rescue of Isaac
from being offered by his father as q
sacrifice. The text was Genesis xxi, Z,
Behold the fire and the wood, but
where is the lamb?"
Here are. Abraham and Isaac, the one
akind, old, gracious, affectionate father,
the other q brave, obedient, religious
son. From his bronzed appearance you
can tell that this son has been much in
the feds, and from his shaggy dress
you know that he has been watching the
herds. ghe mountain air has painted his
cheek rubicund. He is 20 or % or, as
some suppose, 83 years of age, never
theless:n boy, considering the length of
life to which people lived in those times
and~thefact that son never is any
thing but boy to u father. I remember
that my father used to come into the
house when the children were home on
some fcstal occasion and say, "Where
are the boys?" although "the boys"
were 20 and 80 and 80 years of age. So
this Isaac is only boy to Abraham, and
this fathers heart is in him. 1t is Isaac
here aud Isaac there If there is any
festivity around the fathers tent, Isaac
must enjoy it. 1t is Isaac's walk, and
1saacs apparel, ard Isaac's manners,
and IBaac's prospects, and Isaac's pros
perity. The fathers heartstrings are all
wrapped around that boy and wrapped
again, until nine-tenths of the old mans
life is in Isaac. / can just imagine how
lovingly and proudly he looked at his
nnlv son

Iecend Of Tell of Uri Explained.

Swiss papers have Of late been full Of
the legend of William Tell. Did he ex-
list or was he pure myth? At the Alt
orr commemoration and the Fetspiel
then given, history and legend, persona
fed by two beautiful women, discussed
the question with critical acumen. His
tory accepted the role Of Mrs. Betsy
Prig, and didn't believe there never
was no SIGH a person. Legend seemed
to be of the opinion that, even if he did
not exist, it was well to invent him, as
he represented the life of nations in
their struggle against tyrants.
A Swedish savant of Upsala has, how
ever, settled the vexed question much to
his own satisfaction. The hero is the
spirit of the pine forests. This seems
quite natural. Pines have hitherto yield
ed chiefly turpentine, but there is no
reason why they should not produce
spirit of their own. The east wind is
the foe from the east (Austria) which
=. 5ss4s 7sssfe 1ofty Hgsds9 sszld q
my is merely Geiseler, the German Tor
scourger. Another name for the east
wind is Eurus, and this in some way
got mixed with the canton of Uri. Now,
Uri was proud of its archery, and this
small conceit was the genesis Of the
record breaking apple trick. And thus
the whole legend is explained. Pail

Tho Sacrifice.

Well, the dear old man had borne
great deal of trouble, and it had left its
mark upon, him. In hieroglyphics of
wrinkle the story was written from
forehead to chin. But now his trouble
seems oil gone, and we are glad that he
is very soon to rest forever. II the old
man shall get decrepit, Isaac is strong
enough to wait on him. If the father
get dim of eyesight, Isaac will lead him
by the hand. If the father become des-
titute, Isaac will earn him bread. How
glad we are that the ship that has. been
in such stormy sea is coming at last
into the harbor. Are you not rejoiced
that glorious old Abraham is through
with his troubles? No, mol A thunder
bolt! From that clear eastern sky there
drops into that fathers tent voice
with an announcement enough to turn
black hair white and to stun the patri-
arch into instant humiliation. God
