WOLVES IN NORWAY.
Snfd to Have Increased I'm Numbers
Within Recent Years.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
During the last two or three years wolves
have without doubt increased considerably
in Norway Not only have they committed
a good deal of damage among domestic
animals, but in some cases the elks have
been SO prosecuted by them as to be
obliged to take refuge among the haunts
Of men, Last winter, in the Selbo dis
trict, near Trondhjem, the remains of sew
eral elks were found in the forest, with
the tracks of the bloodthirsty brttes show
ing plentifully in the snow all around.
while -many-more of the big deer must
undoubtedly have fallen victims to their
rayenous appetites. Two men driving a
sleigh with sleepers for the railway came
across a big elk in sore plight; three of
the pack which had attacked him lay
around dead or dying. pierced with his
great antIers while he himself could bare
Iy stand. Needless to say, the worthy
peasants made the most Of the occasion.
They killed the unhappy bull. and they
claimed and received the government re-
ward for each Of the wolves.
Only however when they are in droves
will wolves attack the larger animals. AT
first they try to stalk. their intended vic
bounds, they endeavor to pull 1t down.
Failing in this they proceed to hunt IL in
the most methodical manner, two or three
following the quarry closely. the others
in wait and bounding at Its throat In
spring and summer wolves are rarely seen.
as they keep for the most part at the soli-
tude of the Woodlands but i'm severe cold
and stormy weather they collect together
in packs and descend to the more open and
inhabited tracts of the country.
While herdlng his reindeer during the
long winter of the far north the Laplander
must be on his guard against marauding
wolves. Frequently for weeks together
there Is no sign of the common enemy.
Then, without warning. the cry Of the
watcher rings out over the snow, 1.-THE
wolves are afootr And however binding
the snow, however dark the night. all the
inha bitants Of the little camp rush forth
to defend the animals which to them repre-
sent wealth. clothing, food. existence itself.
In such a melee the small. wiry dogs, of
which the Laps always keep a number,
perform an important part. barking and
swapping at their big opponents In the
most plucky way, and distracting their
attention generally until the arrival OF
| their owners upon the scene.

WEFERS AN AMATEUR.

The Crack Sprfnter Relieved of His
disabilities by the A. A. U.
The special committee appointed by Pres
ident Mcmillan of the American Athletic
Union to decide the question whether Ber-
nard j. Wefers, the crack sprinter, was a
professional, has decided in Wefers' favor.
Wefers rendered himself liable to a charge
of professionalism by temporarily accept
ing a purse of 800 on his return to Law
renee, Mass, after the international games
held in New York last September.
The pur. was presented to Wefers at a
banquet given in his honor, the mayor
making the presentation. According to
sworn affidavits submitted to the commit
tee, and made by Wefers and Thomas A.
Riley, who arranged the banquet, Wefers
returned the purse as soon as he learned
that by its acceptance he laid himself open
to disque lification at the hands of the
American Athletic Union.

CONTRACTING POISON.
Experiments With Animals That May
Lead to Valuable Results.
From Modern Medicine.

FROM Modern Medicine.
Calmette of Saigon, Cochin China, re-
ports that ne has been able to render AMI
mails immune against venomous snakes by
repeated vaccination. He has also been
able to render the serum Of rabbits cura-
tive as well as preventive by vaccination of
the animals with venom every twoEor three
days for four or five weeks, beginning with
one twentieth Of a fatal dose. He was. by
this method enabled to immunize rabbits
against a quantity of poison capable of
killing eighty rabbits or five dogs Five
drops of the serum of such a rabbit neu-
tralize the toxicity of one millgram of
venom Serum thus prepared may be used
for curative NEGOTIATIONS.
In vaccinated animals, the injection of
the poison produces a great increase of
white blood corpuscles, while in non-vacci-
mated animals, the opposite result is OBJ
served. This indicates that the white blood
corpuscles must exercise an important func-
ton in disinfectkg the body against poi
ichneumol was found to be due to the
natural antitoxic power Of it's serum He
also found that animals, when immune
against snake poisons, are also immune
against many other poisons. The same has
also been found true of animals vaccinated
against erysipelas and rabies, who were
sometimes found able to resist the poison
of snakes. 1t Is an Interesting question
whether further investigation may not re-
veal some antitoxic serum which will be
capable of producing immunity against all
animal poisons, although such a theory
seems to be too Utopian to be practicable.

COLLINS TO PLAY THIRD.

Manager Selee Has No Intention of
Letting That Player Slip.
Manager Selee of the Boston ball club Is
quoted as saying:
You can say that there is no deal at all
between the Boston and Louisville clubs
as far as McDermott and Collins are con-
cerned. We would not let Collins go for
McDermott and 5000 and his release is
not to be had on any terms. There was
absolutely no basis at all for any talk
about this matter. AS far as the statement
is concerned that Collins does not want to
play in Boston-and 1 am not satisfied that
such is the case-that Is also erroneous
Collins has stated that he is perfectly will
ing to come to Boston and will sign q
contract when it is rendered him.
II have not the least doubt in the world
that our relations with him will be per-
fectly satisfactory. His only grievance
in Boston last season was that he was not
played regularly on tive team. Only few
days ago Collins stated that while he was
delighted with his treatment in lille
last season he would prefer to play in Bos-
ton IL he was given a permanent position.
You can say once for all that Collins will
be a fixture on third base on the Boston
team Of 1896"
