Tony Mullane refuses to get in the "has
been class. For eighteen years he has
been a pitcher, and it is not out Of line
to say that he is as good box artist to-
day as he ever was. The other day he set
the ball world talking by pitching one
hit victory. His arm has lost none of its
cunning or strength in its continuous Serv-
ice of almost two decades, and he is still
past master in strategy. A young pitcher
with his natural qualifications would be
the find of the century.
Fred Clarke tried a trick Sunday that
lost his team the chance of tieing the
game. He opened with hit. McCreery
followed with hit, on which Clark went
to second, and, detaching the bag, kept on
to third, keeping the bag in front of him.
When Everitt touched him out he claimed
he was on second STILL the claim almost
knocked O'Day out, but he promptly de-
cided Fred was out. Wagner then drove a
beauty into right, on which Clarke could
have scored, tieing the game. Such fool
ishness should be promptly called down.
The patrons of ball games pay to see con-
tests decided on merits, not on foolish
pranks, and Clarke was guilty of rank
bit of ''jackassery,' which should be Grad
icated with a strong fine.-Chicago Inter-

Serpent Venom.

From Longmln's Magazine.
The rapidity with which serpent venom
becomes absorbed by the system is almost
Incredible and is well illustrated by the
f9iiowing experiment: rat was inoculated
With venom: near the tip of it's tail. one
minute l1ter the latter was cut off a short
distance above the point of inocuIa ton;
but this operation was quite unable to save
the animals life. for even in that brief in
terval the poison had accomplished its
fatal work. and a few hours later claimed
its victim. This rapid diffusion of the
venom helps to explain the difficulty which
Is experienced in arresting the course OF
the poison by local treatment for its pas-
sage Is too rapid to permit of its being
overtaken by superficial measures of even
the most stringent character But Cal
mette points out that local precautions are
not to be neglected for although they can
not nullify the action of the venom they
undoubtedly do delay its progress and
thus create longer interval or respite
during which an opportunity is afforded
Tor administering the anti-toXin. Before,
however, passing to the investigations
which have eliminated in the production
OF specific antidote for this terrible toxin,
there are few more details which Cal
mette has furnished as to its character
v nich are of interest. Serpent venom is
characterized not only by its intensely yfru-
lent properties. but also by the tenacity
circumstances. Thus ii may be stored up
for whole year. and yet at the end of
thh' time he as active as ever; and even
after several years. although its toxic
powers are somewhat reduced it still re-
tains them TO a very appreciable extent.
Mike the bacterial toxins, this venom
toxin can stand exposure to considerable
temperatures without injury to it's activity
aEa that OF the cobra only suffers after 1t
ma been submitted to % degrees centigrade
Tor twenty minutes Sensitiveness to tenn
perature varies, however. with the snake
from which the venom is derived Thus
thr venom of the so-called "tiger-snake-'
o. Australia Will stand being exposed for
ten minutes to from 100 TO ltr2 degrees CEN
tSrade. and its virulenee only disappears
rem this temperature mas heen applied for
twenty minutes. The venom of the "black
sake, another Australian variety loses
l. toxicity at a temperature of between ~
aHd lon degrees centigrade; while an ex-
i''sure to only ~ degrees centigrade for ten
minutes is sufficient in the case of yiper
venom according to Messrs Phisalix and
Eertrand- to profoundly modify its lethai
action A continuous exposure for a fort
night to a temperature of - degrees cent?
grade dc es not affect cobra venom in the
least. hut If during that same time II has
been placed in the sunshine. 1t entirely
loses all its lethal properties. Thus a
pigeon was inocuiated with about thirty
drops of venom which had been exposed to
the suns rays for fourteen days. and II
survived; while another pigeon was inocu-
lated with a little over six drops of similar
venom vi lch had been kept during this
time in the dark. and II died in a quarter
CT an hour.
