INCUBATION FOR SNAKE BITE.
Or. Calmette Finds That n Lethsl Dose
Destroys the vcnoms Eject.

DR.. Calmette Finds That n Lethal Dose
Destroys the vcnoms Eject.
Many readers of Mr.. Hamlln GAR
lands recent story of the Moki Indian
snake dance doubtless wondered how
1t is that the Indians apparently suffer
no inconvenience from the bites of rat.
tlesnakes, for unquestionnbly at times
the performers in the dance are bitten.
The late Capt. John G. Bourke. who was
the first intelligent white who wit.
messed the Moki snake dance and kept
the record OF it, thought that these 1n-
6ians possess antidotes we had not dis
covered. To-day the real study of all
kitoXines has commenced, and it is by
Or. A. Cnlmtcte, chief of the Pasteur in
stitute of Lille, that the properties of
IN anti-vcnomous serum have been eX
nctly explained. DIR. PhisaliX's expert
pnents show that under certain precau-
tions n man or an animal may suffer
hardly any inconvenience from the
venom of viper. Remarkable results
lave been obtained with the venom OF
the dried cobra poison in solution were
injected into rabbits ear the animal
was dead after IL minutes.
But when rabbit was protected by
former extremely weak solutions of
the cobra poison, and then the same
strong infusion of the venom was in
jectcd into II. the animal was not in
conycniunrGL. i}r. Calmette's inveSti-
cations began with the study of the
+,,r of IiffprnTt \
kinds OF snakes. Whence does the snake
collect it's venom? ltmust take it from
its own blood and concentrate the poi
son in particular gland. OF course
there may E2 changes in this poison
differing from that found in the orig
inal sourcc--thc blood of the snake it
self. We know that the pig and the
mongoose are not affected by snake
bites. and it Is natural 10 suppose that
in their blood there is something which
amakes them immune. Following the
RouX method, DIR. Calmette took {
horse, because this animal shows &
natural resistance t> snakebites. The
horse was inocu.ated with lethal dose
of cobra poison and the animal wus mo-
sensibly inconycnienced. The injec
tions were continued for three months
by which time the horse could stand 8
dose of 80 times the lethal strength
The blood OF the horse had acquired i'm
munity. Taking 20 cubic centimeter
of this horse serum, it was found TO b.
sufficient ito cure man suffering fror
the bite of deadly reptile" Nor
curious was this: When snake was in
cculated with this horse serum he dix
not suffer when bitten by any othe
kind or variety of snake.-Harper'

There were three in one party and
two in the other. They were standing
before the white-aproned dispenser Of
refreshments, says Chicago exchange,
and one of the three invited the entire
party to have something. The dispenser
dealt out the order of the three, took
the dollar offered in payment and handed
back 35 cents in change. The other two,
standing a short distance away, were
not served, as there was mistake on the
part of the cashier. The bill amounted
to less than quarter according to the
refreshments served the three. The
host examined his coin and then looked
surprised and grieved.

"Was 1t II dollar? How much change

INCREASED COTTON PRODUCT.
Improvement in Agricultural Methods in
Twenty Years.

1"enJy IeHES.
Some recently published figures and
other data with regard 10 the growth
of cotton production are interesting,
says the Savannah (Ga.) News. In 1915
the average yield per acre was 26o
pounds. During the 20 years the acre
age devoted to cotton cultivation in
creased 1873 per cent, while the pro-
duction increased 1873 per cent. That
is to say, the farms of the present day
are much more productive than were
those of 20 years ago. The reason
is, as every practical farmer knows,
that agricultural methods have been
greatly improved during the time. In
vesors and chemists have labored with
the farmer to the end of bringing the
lands up to higher state of productive
ness. The former have produced new
implements for the cultivation of the
soil in IN improved and at the same
time labor-saving manner. The latter
have instructed the farmer as to the
chemical elements needed for the en-
richment of his soil. and the fertilizer
manufacturer has provided those ele-
ments in convenient form for utiliza-
ton. Rule-o'-thumb farming has 10 a
great degree given way to scientific
farming. Those farmers who have not
their own test tubes and text books ere
readers Of good agricultural periodicals,
which supply useful nnd accurate in
| formation with regard to soils. fer
tilizers, etc., to take the place of guess
work. The farms. like everything else,
is progressing.

WHlRR OF THE WHEEL.

with capital of $3O,0o0,O00. The inten-.

A Buffalo girl reports having ridden
1,400 miles this year without a pune
ture. This speaks well for the improvc1
ment in tires. :
1t is said that the output OF iron from
Swedish mines, from which the best
steel tubing is made, has been sold for
the next four years, and only O hxed
quantity can possibly be delivered. !;
At last the English makers are begin;
ming to use wooden rims, but very cau-
tiously. 1t will take q long time to
conquer their prejudice against this
American innovation.
1t is amusing TO see cyclist carrying
a bundle on u wheel. Small packages
that can be strapped to the frsnue are
we'll enough, but there is no limit to
what riders attempt to carry. A car
penter with his tool box, a messenger
boy with Il basket. men with long poles
trailing behind them-these are only a
few of the sights to be witnessed on q
crowded city street.
There is 5000 bicycle on exhibition
in Philadelphia. The frame is heavily
ornamented with gold, the hubs and
pedals are gold, the handle grips are OF

die bar. 1t probably would not ride an!
easier than hundred-doi.ar wheel, ant

say they have the most expensive bicy

"Do you like eggs?" was the question

They had to move out OF the way to
give us room to stay there, and that
was about all they would do. Their
nests were everywhere, and -:ere were
eggs in abundance. We ate about q
barrel of them every day during the IL
days we were there. Some of us got Off
in boat and went to San Juan, in
Nicaragua. where we got u vessel TO go
after those we left on the reef. That
vessel was commanded by William
Lawrence, of Bath, who was killed by q
man named Wilkinson while he was a
policeman there. We tried to get to the

ne Tortured Himself In Ordor TO Got

A case showing great cunning and
perseverance,, as we'll as tolerance of
much self-in1cted pain continued for
many months. Is worth telling, says
Chambers Journal. The convict was
most determined and resoMceful In his
efforts ut malingering. He began by
running a piece of copper wire into his
knee, by which he nearly lost his leg.
lie then produced number of sores
round the knee joint, and kept up q
greav degree of swelling and inflamma-
tion by means OF a rag and thread
pushed into the wounds. Upon the dis
lime below the skin. On another &C.
casion n bandage was found firmly
bound round the mans thigh, the re-
suit being, in medical lMraseolcgy,
"extensive swelling and iividity of the
thigh"
The doctor ordered his limb to be
enveloped with large piece Of Sutta-
perchn so as to checkmote the prisoners
malpractices. The latter, however, by
means of a strip of shceting, and the
skewer to which part of his dinner was
attached, formed tourniquet, and by
it compressed his leg so much during
the night as to quite neutralize the
medical treatment it had received dur
ing the day. The imposture was at
length detected by an order of the dec
tor to expose the limb outside the bed
clothes to the view of the officer day
and night, and from that hour progress
was toward complete recovery.
