How Snake Poison Kills.

The action of poisons upon the system
is and always has been one of the most
interesting of subjects. Just how and
why it kills has been determined through
a series of experiments made by scien-
fists The following description is un-
questionably the best and most lucid Of
any that has been given to the public:
1.-The venom may be roughly separated
into two parts-one acting upon the
blood, and the other upon the nerves
When injected, it immediately begins
to create terrible destruction in the
blood vessels, the walls Of the veins are
eaten away and an internal hemorrhage
takes place. While this is going on a
portion Of the venom is attacking the
nerves. Particularly susceptible to its
ravages is the 'vasomotor' system, a
nerve center which controls the muscles
Of respiration. Paralysis takes place in
these organs. and the victim generally
dies from an inability to breathe. -

The Antiquity OF Glass.

Glass has been employed, we know.
both for decorative and domestic pur-
poses since the dawn of civilization
The earliest remains date from Egypt
B064 B. c. and are preserved in the
British museum. 1t is an amulet, in the
form of lions head, of Opaque blue
color, with hieroglypbics that determine
its date. On the rock cut tombs OF the
metropolis of Memphis glass blowers
were depicted as early as 5000 b. q.
Stories are told by Pliny, Josephus and
other writer's to account for its discov-
cry, but these are very doubtful, so that
we have only to rely upon facts attested
by actual remains.
The discovery was doubtless fortui-
tous. Such lucky finds are often the
work of chance. When it occurred, we
cannot determine; but, so far as we
know, Egypt, as she was the germ OF
all civilization, was also the mother OF
this art, which she applied to multi
tude of purposes, strangely excepting
that which we deem most necessary
namely, to admit light into buildings.
The dwellers by the Nile handed
down the art to the Phgnicians, who
in like manner bequeathed it to the AS
syrians. Then it was passed along to
the Persians and the Greeks, then to
the Romans and the Byzantines, who
in turn communicated it to the Vene-
tians The monks of the middle ages
appropriated it to beautify their Gothic
temples, and SO it came down the centu-
ries TO modern times. Frank H. Vize-
telly in Woman's Home Companion.

Butterflies Sit For Hours Sucking More
Moisture Than Needed.
BY means of y large number of OBJ
servations Mr.. J. w. Tut is able to
confirm what has been stated by other
observers that certain butterflies and
moths are very much addicted TO drink.
In paper published in the proceed
ings'' of the South London Entomolog-
ical and Natural History society Mr..
Tut says there can be no doubt that
butterflies drink more than is required
by their tissues under any possible con-
ditions He has known Polyommatus
damon to sit for more than an hour mo-
tionless except for the slight movement
of sucking mp and discharging the
moisture almost continuously.
What this internal bath may really
mean cannot be surmised. Another i'm

is strange one, the THIRSTY souls, F"

most entirely males. Possibly II exact
observations could be made it mik ht be
found that females in small num- ,pers

Tutt has been able to discover it is thu
