Eel Blood For Snake Bite.

Some years ago the naturalist Nose
found that the blood Of eels, particular
II that OF sea eels, contained poison
which acted. when transferred into the
human system. similar 10 the venom OF
yipers, although weaker. inasmuch as
the eel poison brought about a similar
reduction OF the temperature Of the
blood as the snake poison.
Based upon this fact, Professor c.
searches, which he presented recently
TO the Academy Of Sciences at Paris.
He concluded that the bIood of eels pos
sessec immunifyiug agencies upon snake
poison He succeeded by heating q solu-
ticn CT eel poison TO IS degrees c. TO
destroy its yirulence, so that 1t was pcs
sible TO inoculate q guinea pig with

was administered in deadly dose )
TO 20 hours after the incubation with
eel blood, but it absolutely failed to kill
the animal Even very small quanri-
ty OF the heated eel serum was suficien,
to produce immunity from snake poison.
This discovery Is most important. since
it can be employed for immunifying
human beings against snake bites, and,
if not too far progressed, 1t will even
insure more rapid recovery from snake
bite Of victims who had not previously
been immunihed with the serum

Ii TOOK six coluuns o. words in the

Bryan 10 try 10 explain why wheat and
silver have parted company" He
says that it is due to supply and de-
mand. that there Is g shortage OF wheat
abroad. and hence demand and good
price, while the small demand for siI
yer makes low price for it. BIZ his
statement that the demand that the
demand for wheat has 40 Eanced the
price. ne unwittingIy admits the truth
OF the republiean assertion OF last year
that the low price Vas the result OF
oTerprod uctiou. and that silver had
nothing 10 DO with it. The drift of his
rather dresry argument seems to De
that il We had more money all around
prices OF everything would rise. Yet
he does rot show how anybody would
bs better of if prices OF all articles
simultaneously advanced in like pro-
portion through an increased amount
OF currency. He seems to forget that
the metallic money of the world has
more than doubled since 1873, and that
the United States has more of il in pro-
portion 10 her population than almost
any other ration. His attempt to ex-
plain the prosperity which he said
could not come without free coinage is
not satisfactory 10 anybody except Mr..
Bryan. who is understood to have been
paid good round SUN for writing the
article.

He accordingly wrote to Every,

that the watch was sold in Duluth,
but stated that he would doubtless
be unable to prove that Rotter
had stolen it, although he had
