Wild Woman Found Near Mel

RESEMBLES SAUSAGE MAKERS WIFE
The Police DO Not Pay Much Heed to
the Story, but the Defense Arc
Jubiiant and Quite Sure
IL Is She.

CHICAGO. Sept. ia woman, de-
mented and almost nude, has been
found in the woods near Melrose Park
by some farmers.
She was I'm a terrible condition from
exposure and privation, having been
living in the woods for at least a month
Her description Is said to tally 70
startling degree with that Of the miss
ing Mrs. Luetgert
Beyond sending out a full descrip,
tion of Mrs. Luetgert the Chicago au-
thorities have taken no action in the
matter, as they do not believe that the
woman is Iuetgert's wife.
Farmers and residents in the vicinity
of Melrose Park have long been ex-
cited over the mysterious wild woman,
who has been reported in the woods
from time TO time. These stories were
inevitably branded by the authorities
as sensational and not worth an inves-
tigation. All efforts TO catch the wild
person have heretofore proved futile. II
was not possible to trace her to a hiding
place. She was gifted with the cunnins
of an animal and would dart In and
out among the tree trunks with almost
incredible rapidity.
The people in the neghhorhood oil
Melrose Park. nearly all Of whom have
seen the wild woman. are firmly con.
WINGED that she Is Mrs. Luetgert. They
have all followed the case closely sine,
Luetgert was arrested. and all have
good description of Luetgert's wife. Tn,
woman's captors say that the descrip
ton Is almost Identical.
Luetgert's lawyers. as soon as tn,
news of the woman's capture was tele
graphed to Chicago. started men capa
BILE of saying definitely whether or no
the woman found at Melrose was Mrs
Luetgert for the scene of the capture.
Luetgert is positive it is she. The de
Tense Is jubilant and the prosecution
puzzled, although insisting that the will,

NEW CURE FOR SNAKE BITES.
Animals Vaccinnted with the virus

Animals Vnccfnntcd with the virus
Are Immune Ia Injury.
The task OF artifcially rendering ami
mails immune from snake poison was
not an easy one, for the process depends
upon training the animal to gradually
Withstand larger and larger doses of
the venom; and considering the in
tensely toxic character Of the substance
which had to be handled the danger
was ever present of the animal sue
eumbing to venom poison before its
serum had acquired the requisite pitch
of protective power TO render IL Of
service as an antitoxin. Dr. Calmette
tells us that he carried out a very large
number of experiments before he met
with success. But IL is not necessary
here to discuss his various efforts;
suffice II TO say that at length his
labors were rewarded, aud the follow
ing extract from one of his memoirs de-
scribes the methods which he now
adopts for his purpose:
'The best method Of procedure for the
purpose Of vaccinating large animals
destined to produce antivenomous
serum consists in injecting them from
the outset with gradually increasing
quantities of the venom of the cobra
mixed with diminishing quantities
of one TO sixty solution of hy-
pochlorite OF of lime. The condi-
ton and the variations In the
weights of the animals are carefully
followed in order that the injections
may be made less frequently IL the ami
mails do not thrive well. Quantities OF
stronger and stronger venom nre In
turn injected. first considerably di-
luted, and then more concentrated; and
when the animals have already oc-
quired a sufficiently perfect immunity,
the venoms derived from as large mum
ber of different species of snakes as
possible are injected. The duration OF
the treatment is Of considerable length
at least IS months-before the serum
IS sufficiently active TO be used for the
purpose Of treatment"
During the past three years an i'm
mense number of animals have beer
vacclnated by this method at the Pas
teur institute at Lille, where DIR. Cal
mette is now a director; and In paper
published a few weeks ago we are tol,
that they have horses there which hav'
yielded for the past IS months serum
extremely active against venom. Thes
horses receive in n single innoculation
without the least inconvenience, dose
of venom sufficient to Kill so horse
