 The different species of venomous snakes in Australia, so far as known, number 42, and Mr. Smith has speci- mems of all of them. The poison eX- tracted from the reptiles is largely used in the Pasteur institute in Paris.
 MT. Smith is an enthusiast on the subject of snakes. and regards them as the most wonderful of living creatures. He has in his collection serpents that have gone nearly year without food and are still fat. He has injected some of their own poison into them without the slightest ill-effects to them. As a result of his investigations he has estab- lished the fact that q non-poisonous snake is not affected in any way by the poison of the venomous species.

FUNCTION OF THE SPLEEN.
It Is Kind of Safety Valve to the Blood
 Circulation.

1t Is . Kind of Safety Valve to the Blood
 Circulation.
 The spleen, of old, writes Dr. Andrew Wilson in the Illustrated London News, formed an organ which puzzled the classic physiologists. It did not seem to manufacture any secretion, like the liver or sweet-bread; and they knew, as we do to-day, that removal of the organ is not necessarily attended by much disturbance of the vital func- tions-a fact due to the duties of the missing spleen being laid on the shoul- CTS of other organs, most probably the lymphatic glands. The spleen is un- doubtedly a blood gland. It is the seat of manufacture of the corpuscles of the blood, red and white, and it no doubt also disposes of the old rolling stock of the blood, dissolving and disintegrat- ing the wornout corpuscles. Addition al evidence regarding the spleen has been supplied by Prof. Schafer, F. R. S., and Mir. B. Moore. They have proved that the spleen acts as a kind of safety valve to the blood circulation, and it responds at once to all variations in the blood pressure, whether these vari- ations are from heart or lungs. It is an organ which shows rythmical con- fractions, and would appear to be kind of delicate governor, analogous i'll its nature to the self-acting mechan- ism of that name in the steam engine.
