BANK failures. continue, but Without
creating any alarm IN financial circles.
The failures are by no means bad and de-
posltors. lose but little. Mlsmanagement
is not the sole cause. The failures are
due more to want of business from a
superabundance of banking institutions.
Their number must be reduced to the
needs of the country. 1t will support
the number of banks which find 1t profit
able to exist and the result will be the
survival of the fittest.
Another thing greatly overdone in this
country, and particularly in Wisconsin

The competition Is so great there is no
longer much profit in this line and fail
ures are inevitable. They are sure to
come and continue until proper basis is

THE explanation of DR.. Zertucha of
the killing of Maceo is complete enough
as to the manner in which he died, but
offers no explanation as to why Maceo
quit his army, unless it be fact that he
had his whole army with him at the time
he encountered the Spaniards and met
his death. Is there a Cuban army IN
Pinar del Rio? 1t would seem not or if
SO Maceo must have lost confidence in
1t. 1t is evident from Zertuchas let
ter that the insurgents are troubled with
dissensions among themselves and the
hope of their success is thereby greatly
lessened. Some reliable information as
to the force the Cdbans have in the field
should be gathered before they are rec
ognized as belligerents to say nothing of
recognizing their independence.

& Deadly Poison

The question has been asked which
is the most powerful poison? So far
as is known snake poison consists of a
oeptonc which produces local liberation,
an unknown yirulcnt substance, which
causes infiltration of blood when inject
ed into the tissues, and an albumen
which is not apparently poisonous.
When snake venom is concentrated by
removing the third substance and re-
tanning the other two, what is left con-
stitutes the most powerful poison
known to toxicology. 1t is 40 times
more powerful than the original snake
venom. 1t has been reckoned that a
single thimbleful OF it suitably applied
would be enough to kill $4,000 per-
