also contributing to the safety of the

Arctic whaling appears to be as big
gamble as Arctic gold mining. The

but when they fail to appear the sailor

that Admiral Dewey expressed wish

that if he were allowed to land few

photographs wanted. 1t was believed

Cook was q member, is horned snake,
an entirely new variety SO far as the
museum is concerned, and one which
would be regarded as a specimen of
value by any institution of like char
acter.
The reptile Is of the viper variety, and
is known, scientifically, as the "bitis
gabonica," the latter name referring TO
the Gaboon, in whose neighborhood
1t is found. 1t Is one of the few horned
specimens In existence, but the horns
are plainly discernible and occupy n
prominent position on the fOrepart of
1.-THE head, on each side of the nasal
holes.
The snake was secured by Mr.. Rollo
Cook, who was a member of the Liberl-
an expedition. 1t was, literally, run
across by native who was cutting his
way through the forest I'm front of the
party. Fortunately the snake did not
have a chance to strike, as the man had
his foot on 1t. 1t is very poisonous, and
most venomous looking.
The head of the snake is fiat, and is
very large, considering the size of the
snake, 1t being only about four feet in
length. 1t Is, however, thin, in com
parison with Its length. The horn gives
II a most hideous and repulsive appear
ance. 1t Is about a quarter of an inch
In length and is divided. 1t Is not poi
sonous, and merely serves the purpose
of giving the reptile ferocious appear
ance. It resembles, to some extent, the
head of the rhinoceros, the little eyes
peerlng wickedly on each side of the
nasal organs.
In the same collection are a number

harmless, and scorpions of immense
proportions. The "stinger" of the lat
ter is In the end OF the tail, and when

that 1t is withdrawn with difficulty

The sting is vcnomous, but II is not
thought to be necessarily fatal to hui
man being.
The venom of some reptiles Is abso-
lutely incurable, no matter how ready
and instant may be the attention given.
Alcohol taken internally in almost any
form will often ward off the evil effects
of the poison OF common snakes, but no
remedy is known for the virus injected
by certain cobras and others of the
known deadly species. There are on
record many cases of sudden death
from snake bites; showing that even
with immediate amputation of the
hand, or foot, or even leg or arm of the
victim, death has ensued. The venom
courses through the blood like light
ming; and impregnates the whole sys-
tenn so speedily that amputntlon of the
first-affected part cannot save the life
of the individual stricken.
In vernacular IL is not customary TO
classify ants with reptiles; but they
are SO classified here, and some of the
