M. Phisalix, Of Paris, has recently made

is injected into guinea pigs the venom

A special to the New York Press
from New Haven, Conn, says:
1t has been proposed that R. G. Leh-
mann, the English coach, be invited to
come to Yale and take charge of the
crew next year. The plan has many
warm supporters among Yale men.
1t has number of opponents also.
The athletic advisers of the college
are considering the proposition in
conjunction with a dozen more plans
Tor a crew coach.
Capt. Fred Allen, who was chosen to
lead the crew another year, admitted
that the question. would have to be
settled by repeated conferences Of
Yale's rowing advisers.
1t is now announced that a new svs-
TEN of governing athletes is in effect.
1t is stated that the captain of an
athletic team has the final decision to
make in matter relating to the
coaching of his team. This applies to
football, baseball, the crew and the
track team. Capt. Allen, therefore, If
ne wishes Isl TO exercise his prerogative,
will have have the final choice in choosing a
coach. s,. ss:S Sz ;s 'sss1a

ter How Heavily Drawn Upon.
Inc famous pitch lake, or great btu
men deposit of Trinidad, is situated al
Point Libres, on an elevation of abou,
a mile from the sea. 1t covers an area
ol nearly one hundred acres, and its
appearance is that Of dull, still, dark
waste. 1t is irregularly circular, and
1t surface perceptibly convex, belna
more elevated in the center. and
tnence insensibly declining on all sides.
IN the center the pitch is quite soft
IN fact, semi-liquid-but it becomes
more and more hardened as its circum-
ference Wldens out. Except the soft
central parts, the surface is intersected
In all directions by numerous assures
or chasms, varying in breadth from
TWO feet to sixteen feet, and from half
a loot to seven feet in depth, widen
ing also at the surface and terminal
ing acutely at the bottom, thus pro-
auclng. as 1t were, inverted angular
holloWs, while the sides are regularly
rounded. These crevices are at all
times filled with fresh water. Here
ano tnere, where the bitumen is mixed
Win earthly water, grow lichens
,nosses, grasses, etc. The center of the
lake, the pitch pot, or chaudiere. as
II IS called, is at all times so soft that
IL would be impossible to venture on it
without mourning the danger of being
engulfed. The lake is government |
property, and parts of it are leased
out to private individuals, who have
TO pay royalties, according to the
amount OF pitch removed, which
amount a., is checked by the government,
