'Very few know it, but it is a fact, /" explained 8 prominent builder to re- porter, that the pension office building is the largest brick building ill the world.

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

The Venom of the Cobra Is Deadly Al-
 most Beyond Belief.
 It was in the autumn of 1891 that Calmette, while acting as director of the Meteorological 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 a village ill the vicinity of Bac-Lieu, and by order of the governor of the dis triet no fewer than 90 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 to secure their venom glands. Each gland, resembling both in size and shape a shelled almond, contains about 30 drops of venom, and ill this transparent limp i'd liquid is embodied a toxine of extraor- dinary strength. As is well known, this cobra is the most dreaded of all serpents, and it is widely distributed oyer 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 it's character. It was, of course, necessary i'll the first instance to ascertain, within as narrow limit as possible, the exact degree of toxic power inherent ill the venom, and to deter mine, if possible, the precise dose lethal ill respect of each variety of animal ex- perimented upon
 A correct calculation of the quantity of venom required i'll every case was, however, found to be quite impossible, for so virulent is the poison that q sim gle drop of an emulsion produced by pounding up s glands i'll 300 grams of distilled water Is sufficient, when in trcduced into the vein of q rabbits ear, to kill it in five minutes. All the mann mals 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 s Magazine.

PREPARED FOR THE WORST
The Hotel Didn't Burn, but if It Had He
 Would Have Been Fixed.

Do you believe that we are some times forewarned of great dangers?' asked the commercial traveller. Did you ever haye-what you call it?-pre- mentions? We'll. 1 was premonished the other night. had to put up at a junction hotel, and they sent me clear up to the top of the building into one of those rooms with a slanted ceiling. You know the kind You pay for the room. and the roof occupies it.
 There was one window. looked out of the window, and it seemed to be at least 50 feet down to the ground It was q wooden building, and an old one. understand? While I was looking oat of the window freight train went by. and the engine threw out million sparks.
 We'll, l says to myself, T can see my finish right now There'll be 40 trains going by on these two roads to- night, and it's four to one shot that this hotel is going to catch fire l looked out again. There wasn't any fire escape, and they didn't have any rope i'll the room. You see, ill a good many places like that they have a big coil of rope in one corner and sign that says, In case of fire take hold of the rope and jump. A man reads that sign and then he can't sleep all night
 We'll, 1 looked out of the window again, and switch engine pulled past and shot out lot of live cinders as big aS vnI1r fist rFbur cottIo5 ;A ,..o,.4 <ss... :. to the bed and found it had two sheets 1 took out my pencil and figured that ] could tear each sheet into four strips and, allowing for the knots, each sheet would make about 24 feet of fire escape, although, of course there would be some waste where l would have to tie 1t to the bed l figured that could push the bed over to the window, fasten one end of my rope to the headboard and play out about 45 feet I had it all fixed-some water all ready i'll the bowl, so as to dampen the knots and pull them hard. Of course 1 still had some dis tance to fall after l got to the end of my rope, but that was all right You know, as soon as 1 had my rope fixed 1 was going to drop the mattress, so as to have something to fall on.
 I took my cardease, watch, money and keys and tied them in handker- chief, which very carefully placed on the window sill, so that 1t would not be overlooked in the hurry of getting away. There didn t seem to be anything else that could do until the alarm was given, so l turned in and fell asleep right away. l wasn't worrying. because l WAS ready, no matter what happened l had been asleep about three minutes, it seemed to me, when somebody pound cd at my door and told me to get up; that 1t was o'clock I got up and dressed. and yea can imagine how badly WAS disappointed Oh, was sorel But. say, suppose the hotel had caught fire.

The Peacock at Home.

The real home of the peacock or pea fowl is in India There they were and are hunted, and their flesh is nsed for food. As the birds live i'll the same re- zion as the tiger, peacock hunting is a very dangerous sport. The long traiA of the peacock is not its tail, as many sup pose, but is composed of feathers which grow out just above the tail and are called the tail coverts Peacoeks have been known for many hundred years. They are mentioned ill the Bible. Job mentions them, and they are mentioned, too, i'll l Kings X. Hundreds of years ago in Rome many thousand peacocks were killed for the great feasts which the emperors made. The brains of the peacock were considered | great treat. and many had to be killed for single feast. St. Nicholas.
