SNAKES In COSTA RIGA.
The CuIebra de sanRre Is the Most Deadly
of Them All.

Costa i,ica means tho rich coast, and in
most respects it is rich, particularly in the
snake family, the most deadly of which is
the terrible oulcbra de sangre, or blood
snake
This variety OF reptile does not grow to
q large size, and perhaps for that very rea-
son is most to be dreaded as it is not so
easily seen. 1t is red and resembles a
large swollen vein ready to burst with
blood.
a short time ago I stepped on one Of
these snakes, and like q flash he struck at
me- but as l had a pair of leather legginSs
on no harm was done, though it was a
close call Not so fortunate was poor
day laborer who was bitten by the same
variety of snake. The man was working
for "a neighbor of mine, and l did not see
him until the day after he WAS bitten
The moment heard about it l went over
to sec the poor fellow, taking with me a
remedy for snake bite, thinking ii would
do no harm to try it, anyway. When we
reached the mems camp, the sight that
met our eyes was IA sickening one.
The man was bleeding from his nose

toe nails How man could bleed as

flesh. The manager of tho estate had
given him several doses of curarine, a

used here in Central America for poison
Gus bites We also gave him the medi-
cinc which | had brought with me, which
made him voInit profusely.
In few hours time the bleeding stop
ped, and noXt day the poor follow was sent
to the hospital. No one expected that he
would live, as the bite is considered dread
ly; but, strange to say, he did recover
and in months time was at work once
more. II both fangs of the snake had
entered the foot instead of one, he would

of reducing the number of accidents

stating long waits. the officials said
that enough men would be provided to

TALKING OF FEDERATION.
One of the Questions the Engineers
Are Debating,

one Of the probable results of the an
nual sessions Of the LaCkawanna en-
gineers' general committe. now on in
this city, is the amalgamatiOn of all
the orders on the system into one body.
The engineers are the only ones not
represented on. the federal board AS
previously told they are now disposed
to join and before The general commit
tee gets through with its presnt ses-
sion IT Is very likely a resolution will be
adopted submitting the question to the
subordinate bodies throughout the
whole LaCkawanna system.
There was a story afloat last even
ing to the effect that the committee had
decided in favor of joining the federat-
ed board and that a general con-
ference Of the different branches of
the service had been called TO receive
the proposition. The engineers how
ever would not only not confirm this
but said that it was impossible because
the question of federation would have
to be passed upon by the subordinate
organizations and submitted to the
national officers before the committee
could deal with the other.
