In this day of slang and slipshod
English it is quite refreshing to find one
home in which our mother tongue is APP

That there is at least one such was
made evident in quarrel which took
place in literary household between
the two youngest inmates-a quarrel,
like most childish differences, soon
over, but fierce while it lasted.
When his wrath had reached its
height, the small son Of the house,
quivering with anger, sought for Ian
euage to denounce his sister, who had
been the aggressor.

a stubby shoe; you bad, you bad

in the room. You see, in good many
places like that they have big coil Of

SERPENT POISON.
The Venom of the Cobra Is Deadly Al
u. most Beyond Belief.

The Venom of the Cobra Is Deadly Al
most Beyond Belief
1t was in the autumn of 1891 that
Calmette, while acting as director of
the archaeological institute of Saigon,
Cochin China, first commenced his ex-
periments on the naturalization of SER
pent venom in the animal system. He
had exceptional opportunities in the
matter of serpent venom wherewith to
carry out his Investigations, inasmuch
as band of cobras had recently attacked
village in the vicinity of Bac-Lieu,
and by order of the governor of the dis
trict no fewer than 80 specimens of the
terrible Naja tripudians, or cobra de ca
pello, were forwarded in barrel to the
institute.
Forty of these reptiles arrived alive,
and several were at once sacrificed tc
secure their venom glands. Each gland,
resembling both in size and shape q
shelled almond, contains about 80 drops
of venom, and in this transparent limp
i'd liquid is embodied toxine of extraor-
binary strength. AS is we'll known, this
cobra is the most dreaded of all serpents,
and it is widely distributed over India,
Burma, Sumatra, Java, Malacca and
Cochin China. Until Calmette, however,
set to work to Systematically study the
nature of this reptile venom, but little
precise or reliable information had been
obtained as to its character. 1t was, of
course, necessary in the first instance to
ascertain, within as narrow limit as
possible, the exact degree of toxic power
inherent in the venom, and to deter
mine, if possible, the precise dose lethal
in respect of each variety of animal ex
perimented upon.
A correct calculation of the quantity
of venom required in every case was,
however. found to be quite impossible,
for SO virulent is the poison that sim
gle drop of an emulsion produced by
pounding up s glands in 800 grams
of distilled water is sufficient, when in
troduced into the vein of rabbits ear,
to kill it in five minutes. All the mann
mails to which Calmette administered
this cobra venom, such as monkeys,
dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, sue
cumbed more or less quickly, according
to the size of the dose. -Longman' g
Magazine.
