Eel Blood for Snake Bite.
From the Philadelphia Record.

Some years ago the naturalist Mosse
found that the blood of cells, particularly
that Of sea eels, contained a poison which
acted, when transferred into the human
system, similar to the venom of vipers, al
though weaker, inesmuch as the eel poison
brought about a similar reduction of the
temperature OF the blood as the snake
poison.
Based upon this fact, Prof. C. Phisalix
made> very interesting researches, which
he presented recently to the Academy of
Sciences at Paris. He concluded that the
blood OF eels possessed immunifying agen-
cies upon snake poison. He succeeded by
heating solution of eel poison to 5S de-
grees centtgrade to destroy its virulence, so
that 1t was possible to inoculate a guinea
pig with the fluid, the only effect being the
raising Of the temperature by a few de-
grees. This reaction of the organism was
followed by a perfect capability to resist
the poison OF the vipers, which was ad-
ministered in a deadly dose fifteen to
twenty hours after the incubation with eel
blood, but it absolutely failed to kill the
animal Even a very small quantity of the
heated eel serum was sufficient to produce
immunity from snake poison. This discov-
cry Is most important, since it can be en-
ployed for immunifying human beings
against snake bites. and, II not too far pro-
gressed 1t will even insure a more rapid
recovery from snake bite Of victims who
had not previously been immuniied with
the serum.

GOLD IN A DRY RIVER BED.
Rich Finds I'm the Place Where a
Stream Ran i'm PrekistOrtc Times,


Frcm the Spokane Spoke sma o Review
But there is another source of Coeur
d'Alene placer gold even more potent than
the decomposing ledges with which the
country Is bound together and that Is the
Old wash. Beginning near Raven, and
running down on the sidehin north of Muir
ray and Eagle City. clear across the North
Fork, and still on westward for an un-
known distance, is the old wash. What the
stream that created 1t. whence its source
or whittier 1T flowed. no man knows. Per-
haps primeval man foste,i his boat upon Its
waters, and with his stone weapons en-
deavored to slay the mastodon resting be-
meath the shade of the tropdc yerdure that
lined its banks.
Everything regarding the era or nature
Of the stream flowing there Is mere contec-
known One Is that IL was q stream of no
mean proportions. For quarter of mile
In width the bedrock is covered with the
rounded gravel washed smooth by its
waters during the ages that 1t existed
and even after the countless years since
its springs dried up a their source or some
CONFUSION OF nature TUNED it into other
channels, have been washing the easily
rolled stones down the mountain sides.
which are still 125 feet in depth-perhaps
more In places. Another thing certain about
the old river is that It's source was far
away beyond the Coeur AIene mountai
or the Bitter Roots, that hedge them on
the east, for III great quantities among the
gravel now choking its old bed are huge
boulders OF a rock that Is entirely foreign
to this region. Resembling a mixture of
sandstone and quartz, II such a mixture
can be imagined, it is a rock that Is un-
mist taxable, and now mere within more than
ION miles around is II found In any place
except the channels of present or prehistoric
streams.
Another thing known regarding the old
river, more potent than all else except
perhaps, to the student, 10 the fact that
1t traversed a country lnterspersed with
gold-bearing ledgee, parts Of which are
picked up and brought down with Its
gravel. Everywhere that the old channel
has been cut 1t has been found rich in
gold. Many OF the emaIier guiches about
Murray were rich up to the point where
they had been cut through the cid channel
and above 1t their gravel was bs rren Of the
yellow metal.
The most economical way to handle this
old wash was by hydraulic mining, but
few to do this, and many others have taken
the slower way of drifting. With gravel
Spreading from fifty to FIVE hundred yards
in width. and varying from five to one
hundred and fifty feet in depth, probably
one-half of the gold would lie in q strip d
rod wide and within five feet of bedrock.
SO. While the hydraulic miners would pro-
ceed to move the whole mass, wash it
down the hill and sift out every particle
of gold, the drift miner has taken his
more laborious method and none the less
surely secured for himself a competence II
ne possessed the faculty of saving what
came into his hands.

HIS LIBRARY CARD.
How an AbscOndinK Defaulter Was

How an AbscOndinx Defaulter Was
Traced.
From the Detroit Journal.
A manager Of q branch office Of one Of
the big packing houses in Chicago was
found to be short in his accounts and the
day this fact was discovered he disap-
peared His bond was furnished by the
Baltimore company and Mr.. Macbeth was
sent to Chicago to take charge of his books
and, II possible, secure his arrest. Pinker-
toms entire force was put to work on the
case, and the city was searched for two
days. without revealing any trace Of the
wherea bouts of the missing man. Mr..
Macbeth and Billy" Pinkerton went to the
absent managers office to look over his
books and personal effects in hopes of
finding a clue. They ransacked a private
desk without finding anything to which
they attached any importance, and Pinker-
ton had turned to leave tho room when
Macbeth spied in one corner of the desk q
public library card issued in the name Of the
man for whom they were looking. He OBJ
served by the entries on the card that sew
eral books had been taken from the library
within a period Of month. and that the
date Of the return of one book correSponied
with the date of the .lins of another. He
put this card in his pocket and left the
office in company with the detective. After
L.
"Why did you take :ha. library card?'
II have an idea Macbeth answered,
land want to go at once to the public
library"
An examination Of the card showed that
the missing man had procured fourteen
different books. and a comparison of the
numbers on the cards with the titles Of
the books, at the library, revealed the sub
jects he had been studying. The first book
taken was entitled "A Trip to Nicaragua"
the second "a History Of Nicaragua" :"
and nearly all others related to Central
America.
"He has gone to Central America" said
Pinkerton.
That's right" Macbeth answered. "and
It's not yet too late to catch him at New
Orleans"
kilograms were sent to the crescent city
giving full descriptions of the man, and the
next day he was arrested in the Office CT a
steamship company. while waiting for his
turn at the ticket window. He would have
sailed a few hours later for Central Amer

CHARLOTTE, N. c., July 2S.-The trip
of the Morton Cadets from New Orleans to
Charlotte was uneventful, with the excep-
tion of pig chase at every station. AN
the boys are in good health and impatient
to reach home.
The award of the judges at San Antonio.
the chief topic Of conversation. remains
as incomprehensibe as when first an
nounceh. Under the circumstances, the
boys are compelled to place some credence
In the reports emanating from Galveston
that the conduct Of the San Antonio drill
was not as it should have been.
The rumor Is to the effect that an officer
Of high rank of the Texas Volunteer Guard.
In some manner. prior to the drill of the
Governors Guard, secured the alleged
proper Interpretation of the program and
communicated it to Capt. Roberdeau. The
oH1cial referred to Is said to have stated
on several occasions that Capt. Roberdeau
would be the only captain to properly read
the program.
Interview With Capt Boyd.
Speaking Of the award, Capt. Boyd Of
the Sealy Rifles, in a published interview
said: You could have knocked me over
with feather when heard the Govern
ors mad taken first prize. There were four
iSnIis AHie companies III the championship
drill. They were the Mortons, Thurstons
Sealys and the ST. Pauls. But the Govern
ors Guard-why, they were simply not in
it.
1T was toss up between the Mortons
and the Sealys. The captain of the Nor
tons told me that if we got first prize he
would take off his hat to Ms, and acknowl-
edge that we deserved it.
II assured him that felt that way about
MS team, but along comes this decision
that the Governors Guard had beaten both
OF us. There is not an army officer at San
Antonio who does not declare that there Is
NO license for interpreting the program in
the manner the Governors Guard did.
Lieut.. Jenkins' Statement.
Lieut. Jenkins Of the United States army,
who framed the program, said he intended
1t to he read as 1t was by all the captains,
except Capt. Roberdeau. l confess I can
not overcome that sort of a deal. But the
decision has been given and 1t has to stand.
1 tell you. however. 1 would rather have
been shut out entirely than to be beaten in
such manner as this
1t Is probable that a drill will be held
next year at Galveston.
Our train is running on schedule time
and will be due at the 9th street depot,
Washington, at 9:25 o'clock this evening.

From the Dertoit Free Press.
when you have a chance to do fellow

positive order to servants and members OF
the household that no reporter should be
admitted.
I'm the midst Of the festivities went to
the kitchen to hurry up some order that
