II the animal WA not -inoonvenienced.
Dr. Calmeste's Investigations began
with the study Of the nature and venom
of many different kinds of snakes
Whence does the snake collect its
venom? 1t must take it from its own
blood and concentrate the poison In a
yarticular gland. Of course there may
be changes in this poison differing from
that found in the original Source-the
blood of the snake itself. We know
that the pig AID the mongoose are not
affected by snake bites, and it is natural
10 suppose that in their blood there il
something which makes them immune
Following the Roux method, DR.. Cal
n,ette took horse, because this animal
shows q natural resistance TO snake
bites. The horse WAS inoculated with
a lethal dose Of cobra poison and the
animal was not seriously inconven-
fenced. The injections were continued
three months, by which time the horse
could stand a dose so times the lethal
strength. The blood of the horse had
acquired immunity. Taking 20 cubic
centimesers OF this horses serum, it was
found to be sufficient ''to cure g man
suffering from the bite Of deadly
reptihe." More curious was this: when
q snake was inoculated with the horse
serum he did not suffer when bitten by
any other kind or variety Of snake

goal following.
When the play opened again Sloan,
Northwestern's full-back. sent the Dali
over the heads of both elevens and drop
ped it at Richards feet. Little by little
the ball was pushed toward Northwest
ern's goal by the Wisconsin men. Final
iy, at the fifteen-yard line, the men OF
Northwestern rallied nightly and held
the advancing line for first downs. Then
it was of little avail. for when North
westerns quarterback called for kick
and the ball was passed back it missed
its mark and rolled over the goal line.
Brewer fell on il, after a gallant at
tempt by Sloan, and Wisconsin had
scored. The goal was easy and the score
tied, with eight minutes Of play remain
ing.
When play was begun again the ball
swayed back and forth over the CENTER
field like the bob Of a pendulum Final
ly it went well down the field toward
Northwestern goal. Then Sloan came
to the rescue His foot struck the ball
with a thud and it went high into the
air and down the Wisconsin's fifteen
yard line. When time was called, the
ball was still close 10 that point.

LAS a result of elaborate experiment,

been established that while 200 pounds
force rs required TO draw one ton over

the same work on macadam, thirty-three
pounds on the best graaite block and fif-
teen pounds on asphalt. As particular

BROWN BEATS THE INDIANS
Score of Twenty-Four to Twelve on Man
haitian Field.

New York Nov. 26.-One of the most
interesting games of football that has
ever been played in this vicinity was that
which took place this afternoon on Man.
haitian Field. between the teams repre-
eenring Brown university and the Car.
lisle Indian school, and which resulted in
score of "A to IL for Brown. There were
many exciting incidents and although
the result was disastrous to- the Indians,
their play was excellent, considering the
hard work the eleven have been doing
the season.
The Indians were looked upon by the
knowing ones as sure victors but the
Brown university boys more than held
their own and. thanks to the brilliant
play of Fultz. Gammons. Hall and Col
by in the first half. they tied the score,
with half dozen points registered for
each team.
BY brilliant play the Indians got the
ball within three feet of Browns goal
line when the referee called time for the
ending of the first half.
Nothing daunted by the marvellous
work done by the Rhode Island students,
the Indians came UP smiling for the sec
ond half but in this they were ourplay-
ed entirely, owing to the magnificent
work OF Fultz and Gammons whose long
and sensational runs were the feature
of the game
