As the evening advanced the sound OF
faraway voices and the occasional fleet
ing glimpse of a form in the gloom did
not make the big building less lonely in
its aspect A row of bright lights still
burning in the show window, over which
the vista of darkening street was seen,
gave one the sensation of looking from
the abandoned pit of a theater upon de-
serted stage wherein the night was fall
ing. There was shifting and deepening
of shades and the noises from without be-
came more infrequent. Inside, the deep
rotunda was like a well of darkness. The
faint odors of sandalwood issuing from
the oriental stuffs f1oated up from the
basement. At intervals there was heard
the musical note of a clock chime calling
the hours out of their order There would
be little hustle and then the ludicrously
doleful voice of a cuckoo would take up
the work of transformation and whoop in
unauthorized celebration of the flight of
time.
Occasionally one of the sweepers would
bring to the captain trinket, bit of jew
cry or a piece OF money. Every night
something of value is found in the debris
of the floors. II goes to the lost and found
desk to await a claimant. From the floor
two flights below the pavement there were
muffled sounds of stocking. 1t took four
tons of peat coal every night the captain
explained, to heat the building in moder-

consumed as much fuel almost as the

serpent venom.

From Longman's Magazine
The rapidly with which serpent venom
becomes absorbed by the system is almost
Incredible, and is well illustrated by the
following experiment; A rat was inoculat-
ed with venom near the tip of its tail. one
minute later the latter was cut off a short
distance above the point of incubation.
but this operation was quite unable to
save the animals life, for even in the
brief interval the poison had accomplished
its fatal work, and a few hours later
claimed its victim. This rapid diffusion
OF the venom helps TO explain the Difficult
ty which Is experienced in arresting the
course of the poison by local treatment,
for Its passage is too rapid to permit OF
Its being overtaken by superficial meas
ures of even the most stringent character.
But Calmette points out that local pre-
cautions are not to be neglected, for al
though they cannot nullify the action of
the venom, they undoubtedly do delay it's
progress, and thus create a longer interval
or respite, during which an opportunity Is
afforded for administering the anti-toxin.
Before, however, passing on to the inves-
legations which have eliminated In the
production Of a specific antidote for this
terrible toxin, there are a few more de-
tails which Calmette has furnished as to
Its character which are Of interest. Ser
pent venom Is characterized not only by
Its Intensely virulent properties. but also
by the tenaclty with which Il retains
them under diverse circumstances. Thus
II may be stored up for a whole year, and
yet at the end of that time be as active
as ever; and even after several years. al
though its toxic powers are somewhat re-
duced, Il still Tetains them TO a very APP
probable extent
Unlike the bacterial toxins, this venom
toxin can stand exposure 10 considerable
temperatures without injury TO its activ-
lty. and that OF the cobra only suffers after
II has bene submitted 10 9S degrees cent?
grade for twenty minutes. Senstivcness
20 temperature VARIES however. with the
snake from which the venom Is derived.
Thus the venom OF the sO-called "tiger-
snake" Of Australia will stand being ex-
posed for ten minutes to from 100 10 i02 de-
grees centigrade, and It's yirulence only
disappears when this temperature has been
applied for twenty minutes. The venom
Of the black snake" another Australian
variety. loses It's toxicity at a temperature
OF between 30 ana 100 degrees centirradc.
while an exposure r. sufficient In the case
OF viper venom, according to Messrs PHI

grees centlgrade does not AFFECT cobra

same time u has been placed IN the sun

other pigeon was inoculated with a little

A bad accident occurred near Eckert
Wednesday afternoon. H. X. Ferguson,
road overseer for the second district, was
blasting out some rocks from the road
way. He had just drilled out large
rock and inserted a charge OF giant
powder, but believing the charge in
sufficient was attempting to deepen the
hole with the drill when the powder ex-
ploded throwing fragments Of stone in
every direction. A large portion OF the
rock struck Mr.. Ferguson's s left leg below
the knee terribly lacerating the flesh and
causing a compound fracture Of the bone.
Drs. Miller, OF Cedaredge and Meikle-
john. OF Delta, were called aud Mr.. Fergu-
son carried to his home where his wounds
we're dressed. 1t was thought best, how
