A Cure For Snake Poisoning.

1t is very noteworthy that many ma
tons, races and castles lowest In civiliza-
tion have for long time protected them
selves against poisoning from snake bites
by method which never until the present
time, the twentieth century, has been dis
covered by European scientists The races
of Psyller in Africa, Morser In Italy and
Gunner in India, ages ago possessed u
means TO insure themselves against poison
ing from snake bites, and today there are
people who are not harmed by snake poi.
son, If we may believe the descriptions OF
travellers. Such are the negroes on the
Guinea coasts, the race of Eisower In Bar
barry, some fakirs and snake charmers In
India, the inhabitants of Mozambique and
some Kaffirs In South Africa. The means
used by all these peoples to secure immu-
nifty from snake venom consists In taking
as medicine the venom. either fresh OF
dried, from the venom glands of snakes.
The majority eat the venom, but In Mo
zambique the same result Is gained by in
oculating with 1t. That these peoples real.
ly do make themselves proof against snake
bites in this way seems to be sure beyond
a doubt.
Although this method was made know n
long ago In Europe by travellers, nobody
seemed TO take any notice OF 1t until the
experiments of Pasteur and his school had
demonstrated the possibility Of utilizin
1t. Then scholars began 70 study the
effects on animals Of feeding snake venom
and of inooulating with it and TO convert
into scientific capital the avowals of these

YELLOW FEVER CANNOT REACH

Cautious the Disease viii be Kept
Out of the Islands.

The danger to be apprehended from
the spread of yellow fever from the
Southern part of the United States to
these Islands is not very great, for al
ready quarantine measures have been
adopted by Texas and no trains over
the Sunset route from New Orleans
and other. infected cities are allowed
to pass through that State.
notwithstanding this fact the Cali
fornia State Board of Health has Ia
ken further steps to insure protection
from the death dealing germs. -
The passenger traffic has been virtu-
ally stopped over the Sunset route, but
for fear that there may be any pos
sibility of the germs of fever being in
troduced into San Francisco, the CAL
ifornia board has adopted measures
for the protection of the people of the
State as the circumstances seem TO
require. For that reason the best of
means to maintain the health of the
people and prevent them from being
exposed to the danger that turks in
; the trains and sailing vessels that
come from the States where yellow fe-
yer is king, are being considered.
Executive Officer Reynolds of the
Island Board of Health stated last ev-
ening that there was no reason for APP
prehension in Hawaii as yet. "As long
as San Francisco protects herself
against the dreaded scourge," he adj
den, 1--WE here may feel safe. When
the disease reaches San Francisco or
even California, then we must make
all necessary arrangements to pre-
venTits introduction here. Tn such an
event, our first duty would be to adopt
quarantine measures against San
Francisco"
