survives in everlasting bliss, or he can
suffer himself to be bitten by the dead
Iy groove-fanged Naii tripudians, or
cobra of fame. This is done with the
hope that on recovery from the venom
of the snake the leprous signs will dis
appear. Whichever method is em-
ployed, it is conducted with some con-
siderable ceremony and decorum proper
to an execution. In the latter case a
fine young cobra, or hooded, dusky
hamadryad, is taken from che jungle,
starved and prodded into fury. The
leper thrusts out his forearm and takes
the full charge of the deadly venom
sac, and then proceeds ts fill himself
with the most et1icacioUs intoXicant at
hand, generally the tcdGy made from
the bud of the cocoanut, a most speedy
and lasting soporific.
But what was thought to be n means
of suicide among the savage hill tribes
of India turned out to be curious and
noteworthy phenomenon. Three out Of
five lepers recovered from the bite, and,
strange to relate, from the dreaded lEp-
rosy, too. 1t is demonstrable on scien-
tific grCNnds. The cobrG venom Is a
subtle fluid to which all animal life
suceumbs. 1t begins Immediately to
destroy every vital function, and so in
destructible is it that it may be boiled,
frozen, mixed with corrosves, diluted
or taken from the hundredth innocula-
tiOn, yet it survives all. 1t is like curing
like, carried to the superlative. Thus
the bacillus of deadly leprosy succumbs
to the deadly venom of the serpent, and
that in turn yields to large doses of al
cohol.
The treatment is far from infallible,
but, with proper food, care and eXer-
else of professional judgment, there is
no reason why the standard should not
show 90 per cent of successes, if the lep-
rous patients can be discovered and
treated in the incipient stages. Those
upon whom | have operated with the
serum of deadly serpents have been too
far advanced in the disease to derive
permanent benefit; but several new
cases have been reported to me in va
rious parts of the country. and | shall,
either personally or through my as
sstants. proceed Immediately with
these experiments. Professional col
leagues also are at work in various
parts of the world. and am IN COM
munication with them on this impor-
tant scientific problem Of the age. We

suits"

THE YELLOW METAL.
Estimate of the Worlds Gold Produc-
ton for 1898.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The director
OF the mint has nearly completed his
estimate of the worlds gold produc-
tiOn for the year 1898. The Data at
hand seems to warrant the conclusion
that the production will amount to at
least 1924, 100000 and possibly $780,
100000. Africa leads all other coun.
tries with SO.3OO,OOO, with Australia
second with $67. 100000 and the Uni
ted States third with SGt, t,463, 900. Rus
sia is credited with $25,00O.O0O. Mexico
with $1O,OO0,O0O and Canada. including
the Klondil>e, with $14,o00,000.
Of the $14.OOO.0OO credited to Can
ada in 1898 about $1OOO0,0O came out
of the Klondike and in the estimate
of the production of the United States
during the last year S2,524,O00 came
from Alaska. In 1896. and for nearly
so years previously the United States
occupied the first place in the worlds
production of gold. In that year the
output of the world was estimated at
S2O2, ,GS2 900. These figures are sub.
iect to revision in making up the final
estimate. but are believed to be ap-
DrOXimatelY correct.

AMERICAN TEA.
Report From the Experimental Cur
den in South Carolina.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Dr. Charles L.
Shepard, who is in charge of the ex-
perimental tea garden at Summerville,
). C., has made Il report to the secre-
tary of agriculture covering the prog
ress made up to date lie says there
are now about 50 acres of land under
tea cultivation and that 5000 pounds
were sold last year undet profit of
25 per cent. 1t is estimated that
when all the plants now growing ar
rive at maturity they will yield 10000
pounds annually.
DIR. Shepard expressed the opinion
that the fact that the tea plants lived
through last winter when the most
intensely cold weather in the history
of the section was experienced is a
guarantee that the weather condi-
tiors will prove satisfactory. The
labor problem. he says, has been
solved by establishing a school for the
education cf negro children in tea
picking. The quality of the tea also
has proved satisfactory. OF the black
tea he says: ''It has distinctly
characteristic flavor. and. like some
of the choice oriental teas, its liquor
has more strength than its color indi-
Gates" The green tea, he says, has
attracted keen interest in the trade
and among consumers and he adds
that "Oriental teas can hardly furnish
the like in this country"
