It is said that Dir. A. Calmette, director Of
the Pasteur Institute of Lille, has discovered
q cure for the bite of poisonous snakes, which
he obi inns as follows: He inoculates horses
with th poison of l%ifferent kinds Of poisonous
snakes in very small quantities, gradually
increasing the amount injected as the pro.
tective influence Of the earlier inoculations
begins to take effect. In this way the animals
are prepared t bear doses which would prove
fatal if used in the earlier injections. When
they have thus acquired an immunity against
the ordinary snake-blte, blood is taken from
them, and the serum, or watery part Of the
blood, is separated from its other constituent
clements, and this serum is injected other
under the skin or, if the case is urgent,
directly into the veins Of the animal TO be-
cured, or to be protected against snake bits.
According to the tatement given In MONDAYS
Times, rabbits poisoned by snake bite and
lnOculated with this serum recovered, while
other rabbits InOcnlated with exactly the
sane quantity, died within sixteen or seven
teen minutes. That is all very impressive.
so far us it goes. But, at least in relation to
the protective" uses Of this serum, we
should like to know how far the incubation
produces any further effects on the organisq-
tions 50 treated, especially in the case of
man. We cannot ask the rabbits whether
th'y dLo 'M"ie u any permanent chahge IN
their bodily feelings after receiving the
serum into their veins; but we conld put this
question to human patients, if there are any
who are willing to be SO 'protected' against

Mr. Herbert, the British Charge d'ARaires,
seems to have behaved with great strength,
promptitude, and courage, and deserves the
gratitude of the nation. He landed marines
from the "Dryad' to protect the British post
office and Embassy against the mob. and sent
the Dragoman to inform the Sultan, who
begged that the marines might be re-sm'
barked, promising every necessary measure
to restore order. Mr.. Herbert stoutly retus-
ed. This is said to have "muoh upsst" tRs
Sultan. Another version of the incident
states that when the marines or blue
Jackets were going through the streets
they came upon q portion OF the mob eDgag-
cd in the work Of massacre. The victims
fed for protection to our sailors, who of
sourse refused to give them back to be killed.
The Sultan in regard to this action, is said 30
have asked Mr.. Herbert whether be was aware
shat the marines were on foreign soil. Mr.
Herbert replied that wherever they were
they would prevent outrage.
On Monday Europe was startled by the news

the seizure that he had to be helped back into
the railway carriage, and when there he
soon became insensible. A doctor was sent
for, but before he could apply any remedies

death was due to foul-play. but there is not

Mr.. BRYAN has uubosomed himself to thu
special correspondent of the Daily Chronicle.
He believes that America, by adopting q sill
yer policy, may drive the rest of the world
to bimetalism England will never voluntarily
use both metals, and the rest Of Europe fol.
lows England. His silver policy, he declares,
is not dishonest OF an attempt to repudiate ob.
legations. America must be independent of
England, and the only way to accomplish
that is to adopt a monetary system suited to
the needs of the country. regardless of what
other nations wnt. 1t is Oh this line that
he is conducting his campaign. H is APP
pealing TO what he terms patriotism, and is
arousing an anti English feeling. Consider
ing that nearly half lie present Cabinet are
bimetallists, it is rather hard of Mr.. Bryan
to insist on oruelfyinE us On q cross of gold.
But, in truth, the whole statement strikes us
as wild and uninformeI. Meantime it is
curious to see how this country, which is Ell
ther hopelessly puzzled on all the questions
at issue, or else entirely Indifferent. is male
a bugbear of by both parties. The Protection.
lists say that they must have Protection to
save them from tyranny Of English commerce.
and the Free-trtders an Silveritrs say that
they must be feed from the tyranny of Eng

is conscious OF nothing except hoa ing her

To Save the Lagoon of Venice.

A great engineering work of immense
Importance. to the city of Venice has Just
been completed. Fifty-eight years ago,
in order to prevent the damage caused
by the occasional OVERLOOKING of the
River Brenta, the Austrian government
OH the recommendation of the celebrated
engineer, Paleocapa, carried out certain
works by which the mouths of that
river were carried into the Chioggia la
COON. some distance south of their orig
inal outlet. Since then the alluyium
brought down by the river has threat
ened to convert portion Of Chioggia Ia
COON into a fever-breeding swamp, and
also to cause serious damage to the whole
Venice lagoon by sitting.
1t was accordingly decided to con-
struct new channel for the Brenta, six
teen kilometers in length, giving the river
a direct outlet to the sea near Brondolo,
still further south. The scheme, which
was estimated to cost 100000 lire, and
was begun in 1884, has now been brought
to a successful conclusion. The new
channel, by means of subsidiary canals,
also provides Il fresh outlet for the BAG
chiglione and other rivers formerly flow
ing into the Venice lagoon.-London
