which one day were cut off from their

knew that if the hawk once got above
them one al least of their number would

they flew in circles, perhaps going high

der the pigeons and leisurely followed
their laboriOuS movements. Then
came a curious and unexpected sight to
Mr.. Edwards. Every pigeon closed its
wings, and they appeared to be the size
Of sparrows, and down they came past
the hawk at terrific rate. That
astonished the hawk. 1t actually lodged
the dropping birds and missed half a
dozen wing strokes before it got in full

The opinion has prevailed among
scientists that the viper which resists
NEGOTIATIONS of its own venom was eN-
empt because it was accustomed to the
poison. They have found that the
blood contains the same poisonous
qualities as the venom itself, and from
this drew the conclusion. But it has
been discovered that in additions to the
poison the blood contains another sub
stance that ncutraliZeS the toxic prin-
ciple. To ascertain the effects of heat
upon the poison, Il portion of viper :
blood was heated to SIS G., and main
tanned at this temperature for quarter
of an hour. Guinea pigs inoculated
with this blood not only did not, die but
were proof against NEGOTIATIONS of fresh
blood, which would. if at first employed
cause instant death.-N. y. Ledger.
