SNAKE BITES.
Made Harmless by a System of In
oculation.

Made Harmless by System of In
oculation.
The results of the long series of
experimental observations upon
snake bites which Prof. Fraser, the
great Indian authority, has been
conducting, go to show, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, that we are with
in measurable distance of q time
when the thanatophidian will not
merely cease to justify its name, but
when it's bite will become one of the
Injuries of life.
Perhaps no man has used,up more
watch glasses and brown paper in
these experiments than Prof.
Fraser, so that there is not likely to
be any mistake about it. Any num-
Der of death dealers have had the
papered watch glass presented to
their fangs. Every one of these re
ceptacles has had its fill of the
Cloudy, watery fluid, somewhat
viscid," which, scientifically evap-
grated, has produced its modicum of
brittle, ycllowish deposit" Moist
ened with little water or glycerine,
when required for use, this deposit,
"unadulteratcd in character" has
been introduced into the system of
the lower animals, from the frog to
the horse, and now the horse has
been made rs immune to snake
poison as Roux's horse is to diph-
iberia.
The immunity of the human ami
NAL from the effects of snake poison
thus seems assured. But this is not
all. A lady has been discovered at
Lahore who, having made herself
immune without the horse, simply
cannot do without the luxury of "a
snake bite once q month. As de-
light it seems to beat morphia in
jections out of sight, and to be at
tended, in the immune person, with
directly beneficial consequences to
general health besides The Snake
habit" seems destined to GUST the
other altogether

Two English psychologists con-

every hour, while in London the
number must often reach $4,000.
The organisms are caught by the
nose and pass 10 the digestive or

have never seen an instance where.
by IA few signs, the Indian has not
been at once directed to the person
whom he wished to SEQ. A stout
officer will be described beyond the
possibility Of any doubt when tho
Indian half-circles his extended
hands over the region of his stom-
ach. If the officer wears glasses,
the Indian will look through the two
circles made by his thumbs and first
fingers; if the officer is bald, the In
dian will raise his own long tresses
in one hand and draw the forefinger
of his other hand across the top of
his head as though he were going
through the pleasant operation of
lifting a scalp An officer who
varied the monotony of frontier life
by very steady and hard drinking l
once saw an Indian describe by
pointing to the head and then wav-
ing his hand in small circles. There
was no MISLEADING that sign-the In
dian wanted the officer whose brain
was in a whirl. And although ut
terIy devoid of a sense of humor, an
Indian is always laughingly good
natured in thus pointing out any
ones distinguishing characteristic
or eccentricity.
The expression of words by means
of the sign language may be divided
into the following classes: Initiating
actions or attributes; pointing to
objects; representing shapes, sizes,
uses or habits; Stimulating emotions;
employing metaphors consistent
with Indian conception, and making
empirical signs, although if the de-
velopment of signs of this last class
could be traced back ] am sure they
would resolve themselves into some
one OF the other classes. William H.

A LONG SLIDE.
Passengers Shot D w, FiTY:Mile
Tcboggan.

A system Of rapid transit trans
portation is in use in California,
which, for cheapness of operating
expense, Is probably the lowest in
the country, despite the fact that
the cost of construction was very
high. A lumber company in Fresno
county, Cal, has built a lumber
hume 80 miles long, which in places
has grade of 90 per cent. and
which crosses the King river on
suspension bridge 45l feet long. This
bridge is built of Roebling cables,
something on the plan of the great
suspension bridges across the Nj
agara gorge. The humo is "
shaped, and, strange to say, in ad-
dition to carrying lumber, is utilized
for the transportation Of passengers
One way-for, like the road to ruin
in old temperance books, the line
only runs one way, and that down.
The boat in which the passengers
travel, or perhaps it would be better
to say shoot, is a V-shaped box
about 16 feet long, and which is
roughly knocked together with
boards, since it is good for one trip
only" The front end of the strange
craft is left of, as the velocity of the
water is so great; despite the speed
of the boat, it does not run into it.
Preparatory to the trip plank is
placed along the bottom, on which
the passenger rests his feet while
sitting single file on cross seats.
When all is ready the spikes by
(which the boat is held while loading
is pulled out, and away it goes on
its 52-mile journey, in some cases at
tanning the terrific velocity of 20
miles an hour.

Bad Days for English Farmers and
Solicitors.

oOilCllCTS.
The chief point of interest in the
annual bankruptcy returns pub
lished recently is that, while there
is gradual diminution in the num-
bcrs and liabilities Of bankrupts in
general, in two categories they have
increased. That farmers should
have failed to the extent of three
quarters of million is only what
might be expected in the present
collapse of wheat-growing as bust
ness-indeed, we fear that the num-
Der of official bankruptcies is small
in proportion to the number Of
farmers who have gone under and
disappeared without that formality
but some surprise is expressed at
the number of solicitors who figure
in Mr.. Smiths list, and the amount
of their liabilities. The truth is
that, although they have stood out
longer than the barristers, the solicit
tors have been very hard hit by the
decline in quantity and quality of
legal business, and q. great many of
them have become little more than
financial agents, with the natural
consequence that a certain proper
ton have yielded to the temptation
of specializing with their clients
money. The proportion is small
one, let us hope; but it is not pleas
ant to read Of the 1878, 600 that has
been lost in this way since last year.

place in which some advantage could be
derived from their superiority. The politi-
looked these very obvious considerations
They marveled exceedingly that everybody
should be so perverse as to use light mon

And when the troubles with the cur

Will prevent the use of a debased com.
Speaking of the conditions brought about
by their financial condition and the char-
acter of their currency. Mr.. Macaulay
again says: Blu when the great instru-
ment of exchange became thoroughly de-
ranged. all trade. all industry were smltten
and hourly in almost. every place. and by
almost every class; in the dairy and on
the loom. on the pillows of the ocean and
in the depths of the mine. Nothing could
morning to night. The workman and his
employer had a quarrel as regularly as the
Saturday night came around. On a fair
day or a market day the clarnors, the re-
proaches, the taunts, the curses were in
overturned and no head broken. No mer-
chant would contract to deliver goods
to be paid. Even men of business were
often bewildered by the confusion into
WIiN Oil ptStiiihi
thrown. The simple and the careless were
pillaged without mercy by extortioners,
whose demands grew even more rapidly
than the money shrank. The price of the
necessaries of life, of shoes. of ale. of oat-
meal, rose fast. The laborer found that
the bit of metal, which when he received
it was called a shilling, would hardly,
when he wanted to purchase a pot of beer
or a loaf of rye bread. go as far as a six
pence. The ignorant and helpless peasant
was actually ground between one class
which would give money only by tale and
another which would only take 1t by
weight
IF conditions such as here described ex.
listed two centuries ago as the result OF
the attempt to float a coin in circulation
that was worth less than it purported to be
how can we expect any different result now
by an effort on our part to do what then
failed? The same doctrines are now be-
ing preached that were advocated two CEN
turtles ago. The same appeals are, being
made that were then made that this sys-
tenn of finance would enrich the people.
The same character of campaigning is be-
ing conducted to-day that was conducted
then, and it does seem that if there IS any
truth in the statement that the world has
| advanced. and that the people of to-day
have learned by the experience of the past,
that surely we will not be deceived into
Undertaking a system of finances that so
ignominio1sly failed two centuries ago.
