LINCOLN.
Dangerously Wounded by Southern Train
Personal Mention -


Personal Mention. bt
Lincoln, Feb. 1O.-(Special.) Russell
Yates. a colored fireman on the Southern
railway, was seriously hurt yesterday
morning few miles this side of Atlanta
on westbound train. He was brought
to Lincoln and remained here until the
$40 mail arrived yesterday evening,
when he was taken to Atlanta. His left
leg is broken near the knee and at the
ankle. and he is perhaps otherwise in
jured. He said the train was about to
run into loaded hand car, and he jump
ed to save himself. So 1t appears his in
juries are due to his own carelessness, or
rather to his great desire for looking
after the welfare of Number One.
Maj. d. M. Andrews of the government
works at Lock No. came up from Mont

WILD oAMELs IN ASIA.

The "ship Of the DESERT Now Known to
- Thrive In Cold Countries.
According to recent dispatch from
St. Petersburg the wild camel has been
discovered in large numbers in that
portion Of Asia which lies between
Lobnor and saiuy. This will dispose
Of the doubts that have hitherto pre-
vailed on the question as to whether
the ship of the desert" really exists
in an untamed condition. From time
immemorial, says the New York Trib,
une, two species OF tame camel have
been in use, namely, that known as the
dromedary, with only one hump, and
found in India, Arabia and Africa
while the one with two humps is met
with in Central Asia, Persia and the
south of Russia. Both species fgnrl
IN the sculptures of Assyria, and ara
mentioned in the Oldest books Of the
Bible, but always as domestic animals,
and no trace exists Of their being
drafted from their savage state into
civilized life. Indeed, it has generally
been supposed that the camel never
existed otherwise than as beast q.
burden, and the few specimens Of wild
dromedaries which have hitherto been
secured by travellers and hunters have
been rega rded as merely some Of the
domestic species that had reverted to
the freedom Of barbarism. Geologic
ally speaking, the newly discovered
wild camel Of I,obnor does not diffee
widely from the domesticated animal,
except there is almost an entire lack
Of hump, and that its sagacity and
sense are developed to most remarka.
Die degree Of keenness, And, whereas
we have hitherto been accustomed 70
associate this animal with ideas Of the
torlid heat Of the African and Arabian
deserts, it would appear that it thrives
nowhere SO well as in the coolest por.

ience even from the most severe win,

SNAKE POISON,

Dr. C,almettc's Interesting Experiments In
Inacnlat,nE Rabbits with Pure Venom.
II hagc taken a lot of rabbits" said
the 6cosar, and inoculated them with
one milligramme each of pure snake
venom, the amount being several times
mora than a mortal dose. These hsyc
treated with serum Of varying
strength, tie lowest being from u rab-
bit ineeH,s;ea with four milligrammcs
and the highest from n rabbit inocu-
lated with twcnty-six milligrammes OF
pure venom" quotes Mcolure's Maga'
sine.
"Four milligrammes of venom is
mortal dose for ten pounds of rabbits
and twenty-six milligrammes would
aut6ce to cause death among sixty. II
gave me, consequently, very power
ful serum. The longer the time after
the inoculation the stronger was the
grade of serum used upon the poi
soned subjects. Thus, after twenty
minutSa, l successfully arrested the ne
ton Of the poison with the weakest
rarum. while the strongest saved the
rabbit utter the lapse of an hour and o
half. Those not treated therapeutical'
ly died in two hours,
Il find, generally speaking, about
i've cubic centimeters Of the serum
from one milligramme are necessary &c
make the animal proof against one
milligramme of pure venom. / also
find that can use three distinct spe.
cifes in vaccinating rabbit, and, by
IL analogy, a man, against the bite OF

Cote after they have been bitten.
I These are, first, the serum from an en-
( veromed animal by itself secondly,
this serum mixed with chloride Of gold
CT the hypochlorite Of sodium or Of

chemicals, or, preferably. chloride Of
lime, used by themselves without

against snalie-bites as yet. That is Q
matter for the future. must, Of
course, determine how long the i'm

lures in the system before venturing
to make any predictions in that direc

devise some means of saving personl

the value Of my results; and ] hope and

THE CALM AND cANNY MULE,
Entitled to Credit for More Sense Than
II HIS nalf-Brothcr, the Horss.

Entitled to Credit for More Sense Than
HIS Half-Brothcr, the HORSE.
Horse sense" has become q byword
for certain practical sort of intelli-
gence, but according to Prof. N. s,
Shaler, mule sense would be more
appropriate one. He says that mule,
as is well known to all people familiar
with the animal, has good deal more
sense than horse.
He says that the mule is much the
less demonstrative. Even in the best
humor he appears sullen, and lacks
those playful capers which give such
expression TO the well-bred horse, par.
ticularly in its youthful state, 1t is
evident, however, that it discriminates
men and things more clearly than does
the horse.
In going over difficult ground it stud
les its surface and picks its way so as
to secure footing in an almost infalli.
BILE manner. Even when loaded with a
pack it will consider the incumbrance
and not so often try to pass where the
burden will become entangled with
fixed objects.
