reptiles with one hand. whilst he worked
with the other.
Speaking of snakes. Professor Calmette
OF the Pasteur Institute has for years been
at work In the effort to discover an anti
dote to snake poison. In the course of his
researches he has handled and extracted
the venom from rattlssnakas, death-adders,
cobras, hamadrygds and almost every dead
ly reptile on earth.
Quite lately came his FIRST accident. He
was bitten on the hand by Il large and
lively cobra. So deadly is cobra venom
that a Hindoo once bitten gives vi hope
and lies dewn at once to Gie. Death comes
in from twenty to thirty minutes. Mon.
Calmette merely injected some OF his new
serum, and was at work again next day.
Unfortunately. he again poisoned the
wound. and has been forced to have the
finger amputated. But this loss seems to
trouble the plueky scientist very little.

Interest in the Inflated Andree expedition
has recently been revived by the story that
the explorer and his two companions were
shot by Eskimo instead of being drowned
as supposed If ever men took Their lives
in their hands for the sake of science these
were Andree and his fellows. Yet, certain
as their fate is. It does not deter others
from all manner of equally risky expert
ments in the cause of knowledge. Ductor
Hutchinson of Cambridge recently uscended
from the Crystal Palace for the purpose OF
chasing the ever-active bacillus in the high

caught in a strong gale and whirled away,
but succeeded in dropping near Canterbury

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
When Lord Kelvin has once solved n
problem in mathematics. he is willing to
stake uuon its correctness. not only his rep
utation, but his life. This. led TO an expert
meut which seemed TO the spectators 6p-
pallingy hazardou5.
The great scientist calculated what was
the exact size Of the smallest steel wire
capable of bearing the weight of a iifty-slx-
pound cannon ball. He then procured a
wire of this diameter. and. to prove the
correctness of his figures. suspended the big
lump Of iron from the ceiling exactly over
the spot where he stood when delivering his
lectures. There 1t remained for several
weeks. If the wire had gone. nothing could
have saved the great scientist from a fatal
blow.
No men walk more calmly open-eyed into
peril than the followers OF science. Those
interested in electricity will remember how.

truth OF his theory Of vibratory electricity.

possibly powerful enough to Kill an ele-
plant. He had no practical means Of tell
ing before he connected the wires whether
the next second he would not be lying dead.
But his theory proved to be true, and he
was unframed.
Living Among Wild Beasts.
Few people are brave enough to venture
into a lions cage. The very idea of enter

which man uses in reading. Mr.. A. w.
