TO PREVENT HYDROPHoBIA.
What to Do In Case You Are Bitten by
Dog Or Other Animal.

What to Do In Case You Are Bitten by q
Dog Or Other Animal.
A few words OH tho immediate treat
ment in cases of dog bite will perhaps be
acceptable.
First of all, for the consolation of nerv-
Gus or timid people, the bite of dog
even If it proved to DO mad-need not
necessarily result in hydrophobia, though
it is certainly advisable to treat every bite
at once and to take every care to prevent
evil consequences.
When you are attacked by furious dog,
it is worth remembering that his instinct
prompts him to always fly at any uncov-
cred portion of your body, so If you have
presence of mind you can do something
toward saving yourself by covering up
your hands and projecting your face. The
reason is that the dogs saliva contains
the poison, and If his teeth have to pass
through clothing the probability is that
the material will wipe the teeth clean be-
fore they enter the flesh and thus render
the wound very much less dangerous. Nev-
ertheless, attend at once to bite given in
anger by either dog or cat, for very mi
mute quantity of tho poison introduced into
VIC WOuEu Is sllllClcIlu u scu vi tlle ulS-
ease if allowed to get into the system.
This 1t will do if the blood carrying the
poisonous germs is permitted to flow back
to the heart in the ordinary course
The object, therefore, in these cases is
to stop the circulation near the wound by
making it bleed freely. If possible to do
so, tic string or ligature tightly OH the
side of the wound nearest to the heart and
set to work at once to battle the bitten
place Warm water is best, but If there is
none handy use cold. If far away from
water, tie bite may be sucked, provided
there are no cracks on lips CT mouth. This
method of inducing bleeding is, however,
only to be used when no other is practical
bic. Should it lie impossible to obtain med
ical assistance within a reasonable tine,
some people recommend that tho wound
be cuuterized with redhot wire, a poker
or some such thing. But if doctor can lie
had you reed only continue to battle tho
spot until he arrives. Washington Times.

What Animals Shy At.

Young horses can be led up to sack ~
ing on the ground and induced to pass it
by letting them smell it and find out that
it really is sack and not the Protean
thing, whatever it may be, which illusion
conjures up for them. Once the writer
saw very quick ard pretty instance Of
experiment by touch made by a frightened
pony. 1t was being driven as leader in n
pony tandem and stopped short in front Of
where tho rails Of steam tramway crossed
the road. 1t first smelled the near rail and
then quickly gave it two taps with its
hoof. After this it was satisfied and crossed
the line. On the other hand, a donkey al
ways tried to jump the shadows of tree
trunks on the road, though similar OK
pertinent of touch would have shown that
these were as unreal as the tram rail was
substantial. Lastly, no horse which has
once knocked its head against the top of II
stable doorway seems quite able to get rid
of the illusion that there sits up in the
top of all doorways an invisible something
which will hit him again next time he goes
through; hence the troublesome and
sometimes incurahle habit of horses lib

sps,Nas AND CAVES.


Doms RsnArkabIs Works II Nature In
Csatrsl PennsylvaniA.
Pennsylvania possesses humber Of re-
markable springs. The big sbfinG Of Belle
fonte, the Beautiful Font, tom which the
town derived its name. and which pours
forth $500 gallons per minute. has bad
Its story repeatedly told. But almost with
In the limits Of Bellefonte is another
spring, never mentioned, almost unknown
because Of Its rival In the borough, which
for purity and outpour Is as large as the
one in the town. A pure crystal stream
Of water Q feet deep and 10 wide gushes
forth all the year round. and the tempera-
ture varies but 3 degrees, being that
much warmer in the winter than In the
summer. Then there is the spring at Axe
Mann, another very large one, but among
the marvellous springs In this section Is
the famous Rock spring There the water
gushes forth from cave in the rock fully
10 feet high and 20 feet wide, with clear
ness that rivals even the crystal. No rain
has ever been severe enough to even make
the water Of murky color. From out of
the depths of tho cayernous rock come va
rious specimens of the finest fish, among
them being the delicious mountain trout,
and, though they can be seen coming out,
no one has ever been able to sec single
fish swim into the cave. Whether they are
bred underground or where they come
from Is a mystery that has never been
fathomed.
Another remarkable spring is in Hunt
ingdon county, near the old furnace Of
that name. There the cavern, which is the
outlet of the spring, Is of such Dimensions
that team of horses can be driven into it
for considerable distance. Ten rods
from its source the spring gives stream
Of sufficient power to run large grist-
mill, and it was never known to be too
low for this use. Then there Is the Blue
spring in Bald Eagle valley, named SO bo-
cause when looked into the water seems as
blue us indigo. This is because of its great
depth, matter which to this day is an
unsettled question. The spring, which in
appearance Is like well about feet
in diameter, has been sounded to depth
of several hundred feet without finding
any bottom. The water is near enough to
tho top SO that man can lie down and
drink from the spring.
In tho same section Of country are many
caves, some Of which are as yet unexplorcd.
One of the most recent discoveries in this
direction is an underground cavern near
HCcla Park on the line of the Central Rail
road of Pennsylvania. Although the cave
has not yet been fully investigated, it has
been explored sufficiently to warrant the
assertion that 1t will prove very fair ri
val to the famous Penn cave in Penn s val
ley, Center county.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
