SUICIDE OF a RATTIESNAkE.
Little Doubt of the Fact That They Kill
Themselves by Their Own Bites.

The question as to whether the rat
tlesnake's venom is poisonous to itself
has often been discussed, but if any
satisfactory conclusion has ever been
arrived at we are unaware of the fact,
says the st. Louis Republic. DR.. W. j.
Burnett, formerly a member of the
Boston Society of Natural History,
says that there are good reasons for be-
lieving that the action of the rattler's
virulent poison is the same upon all
living things, vegetable as well as
animal. Other eminent naturalists
combat this theory and declare that the
idea of an animal poison killing or in
juring a vegetable is really preposter-
Gus. Burnett says: ut is even just as
fatal to the snake itself as to other ami
mails" Then he relates the experience
of one, DR.. bearing. The doctor had a
specimen of the prolific RATHER which
he kept alive in a cage. One day he
irritated the reptile SO as TO study the
effect of the anger thus provoked The
snake struck wildly about few times
and then buried its fangs in its own
body Almost instantly, the expert
menter says, the reptile rolled over and
died. If this story is true, and we have
TO reason to doubt the story, we see in
1t the remarkable and unique physio-
logiacl fact Of liuqid secreted from the
blood which proves deadly when in
troduced into the very source from
which it was derived

Suicide in ,Japan.

An essay on the prevalence of suicide
in Japan has been written by Mr.. Saito
kokufu. native statistician. The sta
tistics extend over ten years and show
in Japan, both actually and in proper
ton to the total number of deaths. In
1885 and 1856 the number in proportion
to the population reached its highest.
Mr.. Saito observes that during these
years there was great rise in the price
of the necessaries of life. In the case
of japanese women the age at which
suicide is most frequent is about 20;
the corresponding period with men is
25. Comparatively few women commit
suicide after the twenty-ffth year, but
men are not safe until they are past 40.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND EYESlGHT
Unprotected Lamps Found to Be Inju-
rious to the EYesight.

rlous 10 the EyesiSnt-
The question of injury to the eyes
from electric light is being prominent
~ discussed by scientists. oculists and
laymen throughout the country. While
opinions widely differ as to the ulti-
mate injury likely to result from the
rapidly increasing use of electricity,
the consensus of opinion is that light
from uncovered or uncolored globes is
working damage TO the eyesight of hui
mainly. In a discussion of the subject
a London electric light journal, in de-
Tending its trade, feels called upon to
make some important admissions. 1t
says: at is not customary to look at
the sun, and not even the most enthusi-
astic electrician would suggest that
naked arcs and incandescent filaments
were objects to be gazed at without
limit. But naked arc lights are not
usually placed so as to come within the
line of sight, and when they do acct
dentally, whatever may result, the in.
jury to the eye is quite perceptiblc. The
fllament of glow lamp, on the other
hand, is most likely to meet the eve, but
n frosted bulb is an extremely simple
and common way of getting over that
difficulty. The whole trouble can be
easily remedied by the use of properly
frosted or colOred glass globes. In anv
case, however, the actual permanent
injury to the eye by the glowing fila.
ment is no greater than that due to an
ordinary gas fame

Time Occupied by Dreams.

The time occupied by a dream is one
CT the marvels of sleep. in the work
entitled The Philosophy of Mystery"
I'VE read of a man who dreamed that he
had enlisted as soldier; that he had
Joined his regiment and travelled to a
foreign country; that he finally de-
serted on account of the harsh treat
ment he had received at the hands of
his superior officers; that he had been
apprehended and carried back to his
regiment; that upon arriving there he
was tried by court-martial, condemned
to be shot and was led out for execu-
ton. At this moment the guns of the
eNecutioners exploded and the sound
awoke the dreamer. 1t was clear now
that n loud noise in an adjoining room
had both produced the dream and awak-
cned the dreamer almost at the same
moment.
