we all wondered that while the fleet at

People all over the world could not

Washington had difficulty in finding
out how it could have occurred. But
coming on from Washington at the
close OF the last great victory had as
my fellow companion that delightful
wit and most charming man and ac-

him
Il have been in Washington, and the
naval experts cannot tell why it is that
Cervera's fleet should have been lost in
twenty minutes and not a shot hit our
fleet, and the same thing happened at

The Wise Judgment That Was De1fv-
cred by simple seyny Jean.
Here Is story which has gone the
rounds Of three and half centuries IT
has been credited to many writer's, but
was first told by Rabelais:
In Paris at roast meat cookery Of
the Petit Chastelet certain hungry
porter was eating his bread and at the
same time smiling the reell and steam
from fat goose which was being
turned on n spit before n great FIRE,
thereby gaining savory accompaniment
to his dry ration.
He ate very slowly that he might en-.
Joy the reeking smoking SAVIOR as long
as possible. and when his penny loaf
had been consumed he attempted TO de-
part. But the cook was not Of that
mind. The master OF the shop laid
hold upon him by the goreet, demand
ing pay for the smoke and steam OF
the roast goose. The porter demurred
The cook claimed that portion OF the
meal had clearly been made from the
SAVIOR shifted up and swallowed.
Il chanced while the discussion wa.
going on that Seyny Jean, the fool
entered the shop. and the matter wa'
referred to him.
"Wilt thou submit to the judgment
OF this good citizenT asked the cook
"Aye, by the blood Of the goose, tha
l WILL" answered the porter.
The story was then told and the cast
argued The fool listened attentively
and In the end he asked the porter e
let him take two pieces OF his money
The poor man drew from his fob tw'
pieces Of copper. Seyny Jean tool
them and jingled them awhile bctweei
his two hands and then gave then
back whence hehadrccelved them. Thei
TO the cook he said: "rhe porter di,
smell Of thy goose. and thou hast heart
the Jingle of his money. Thou has
thy goose intact he hath his money. az
seemeth to me right and proper. An,

What TO Do When Bitten
By Mad Dog or Snake
There Are Two Things to Do in Case Dog With the Rabies
Has Bitten You-But Rabd Dos Is Rare. SO Is
Genuine Case of Hydrophoba.
BY MARION t. HAsLETr, NJ. D.

This is the season of the year when
people generally get "het up" over mad
dog and snake. They imagine that ev-
cry dog they see acting in an unusual
manner has the rabies and is more
than ready to inoculate them with the
virus that produces hydrophobia, while
every snake they behold gliding
through the grass is only awaiting its
opportunity to inject deadly poison in
TO their veins.
This terror, born of the imagination.
is the chief source of danger to the
life Of the person possessing it who has
been bitten either by dog or snake.
Especially is this true as regards the
bite of dog. Eminent medical author
tiles, both in this country and abroad,
are agreed that while genuine hydro
phobia is one of the rarest diseases by
which man is afflicted. simulated by
drophobia is by no means so uncom-
mon.
Dr. Irving c. Rose. F. r. G. S. in
a paper read by him in Philadelphia
some years ago, stated that during
many years of travel he had made
diligent inquiry of the Oldest practi-
TONERS of cases of hydrophobia which
had fallen under his observation. and
that many of them told him they had
never seen case, and that in London
only one case was reported in 1892"
He added: The statistics of New York
for thirty-flve years show nine years
in which no death occurred. and two
successive years in which there was
not one"

AUGUST BELM0NT'S MYRIAD
OF PHOTOGRAPHS.
And the Unique Album He Had
Made for Them.

And the Unique Album He Had
Made for Them.
New York, July 30.-August Belmont
has been pretty prominent before the
public for a good many years. His per-
sonal closeness to the presidential
nominee of his party makes him more
prominent nationally just now than
ever before. Here in New York he is
doubly prominent because his subway
is really soon to be opened unless all
signs fail. 1t is probable that the sub
way interest in him is stronger here
than the interest due to his national
prominence, for the town has been
nightly wrought up over intramural
transportation for a good long time.
Most multi millionaires are fond of
having all sorts of photographs made
for them, photographs of their houses,
their horses, their carriages and auto
mobiles, the places they visit, their
friends and all their belongings-all i'm
aginable sorts and styles of photo
graphs, in fact, and this fad of the
very wealthy keeps a small army of
photographers busy in and about the
metropolis.
Mr. Belmont's fondness for photo
graphs is pronounced. He has more
anu llOIe ulNeISc Photographs TAKEN
than even James r. Keene, who is a
veritable Photographic fiend. There is
one photographer, with the multi-mil-
lionaire trade for his speciality who has
made thousands of negatives and this
man has had quite a run of extra bus
mess with the newspapers and period
icals during the past few weeks, ow-
ing to their desire for material with
which to illustrate Belmont articles.
One of the largest single orders for
prints from old negatives ever receiv-
ed by this photographer came from Mr..
Belmont himself soon after the death
of his wife. 1t included a good print
from every negative in which Mrs.
Belmont appeared. The photographer
never guessed how many photograp hs
he had taken for Belmont till then he
found that they numbered nearly a
thousand, while those in which Mrs.
Belmont figured ran up into the hun
dreds. When the prints were made
and toned, Mr.. Belmont had the pho
tographer make them up into a hand

manner treat it with an antiseptic,
such as solution of carbolic acid and
water, and bind ii with a clean cloth;
one antiseptically treated is prefer
able. Then go to your doctor. and if
he advises having the wound cauter-
lied, do as he bids.
These precautions are those observ-
ed in case of any wound or laceration
to prevent blood poisoning. They
should be observed in the case of a
dog bite for the same reason; for, be-
lieve me, when you are bitten by a
dog--or a cat, or any other animal,
for that matter-you are in greater
danger of blood poisoning than ny
drophobia, yet how much thought do
you give the greater peril?
But the dog biting me may be a
mad dog?" some one may say
Possibly, but not probably. Genuine
hydrophobia is a rare disease, because
a really rabid dog is rare. Not a mad
dog had been reported in Berlin up
to 1897. Eight thousand stray dogs
were picked up In London in 1892 and
not one showed symptoms of rabies.
According to DIR. Rose, who made
extensive Investigations. rabies is I'M
heard of among the pariah dogs of
Asia Minor, in Japan and in Korea,
which is overrun with the animals
The American Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals in New
York has destroyed $50, 444 dogs in ten
years or $4,000 dogs a year, and not a
dog infected with the disease has been
found among these thousands. Dur
ing this decade the keepers have been
bitten numberless times: in several

SNAKE.

The snake is almost as big a buga-
boo in America as the mad dog. True,
we have three exceedingly poisonous
species, but their victims are few and
far between. Snake bites are rarely
Tested by RATHER, copperhead and cot
ton-mouth moccasin. Whenever any
one is bitten by a RATHER the victim
usually turn out to be a "Rattlesnake
Pete" or a snake charmer. AS w T.
Hornaday, director of the New York
Geological Society, recently said, the
American snake yearly scares about
100000 persons nearly to death
and is hardly ever known to bite any
one; and Raymond L. Ditmars, Cura-
tor of Reptiles for the same society,
and one of the foremost authorities
on snakes, their poisons and their
antidotes. declares that many of the
persons who say they have been bitten
by poisonous snake are led to make
the declaration through sheer igno-
rance.
II was in the heart of the cotton
mouth moccasin country a few years
ago making a collection. One of my
negro helpers swore that he had been
bitten by a highly poisonous snake,
and that he had saved his life only by
getting dead drunk. I asked him to
show me a specimen of the snake that
had bitten him the next time he saw
one, and a day or so later he pointed
one out to me in the river. spent halt
an hour chasing it, and when l had il
at last. 1 found it was just a copper
/ bellied snake. which is every bit as
| harmless as the garter snake"
Mr.. Ditmars declares that the dan
ger of any ones being bitten by a
poisonous snake is very slight indeed
"A RATHER will run whenever he can
and he always warns you when you
come upon him unawares. A copper
head also always tries to run away
when a human being approaches;
have seen them scurrying away before
me many a time. OF course, If it is
in a dusty road, it cannot easily get
out of your way. but If you step upor
it when it is in full view, yours is the
blame. AS for the cotton-mouth moe
casin, which is not found north of the
Carolinas, it also runs, and, moreover

Il am Of the opinion that the bite
Of a dog is no more dangerous than
the scratch of a pin or the puncture
of an infectious nail" said DR.. Hearn
of the Philadelphia College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, but because of
the exaggerated printed and oral ac-
counts. the picture of hydrophObia is
so stamped upon the public mind that
the thought of it, after being bitten
by a dog, throws imaginative people
into such panics of nervous excitement
that they unconsciOusly reproduce its
supposed symptoms"
So many cases of supposed genuine
hydrophohia brought TO the notice
Of eminent physicians and surgeons
have turned out to be simulated cases
that some authorities hold to the be-
lief that 'hydrophobia in human be
ings is a mimetic Gmtative) disease,
caused by eXpectant dread, and not by
incubation with the virus of a rabid
animal"
The point 10 be driven home, how
ever is this: The vast majority of
the persons who die from dog bite
die from fright and not from genuine
hydrophObia. Therefore, if you are
ever bitten by a dog, and you would
keep yourself from danger of death.
do not get hysterical and work your
self into that terrorized state where
you will writhe in agony and be ter
rifed by the sight of water. Be sensi-
BILE, and when you are bitten do the
following sensible things:
First of all suck the wound thor
oughly, if necessary opening it a little
with a sharp instrument. so that the
blood will flow more freely When

hides away in the swamps out Of the
way of travel. To these innate traits
of the venomous reptiles is due the
fact that residents in sections infested
by them are practically free from dam
ger"
Still, Mr.. Ditmars holds that he who
goes into region where any one OF
the poisonous species is found should
go prepared for a possible emergency.

A dog so affected will scarcely ever
try to bite any one, and then only a
tormentor-its enemy. Mr.. Haines
was one day walking along Wall
street when he heard the cry of Mad
dog" and the next instant dignified
financiers We're scattering in ali direc-
lions, some even trying to shin up
nearby lamp-posts. little dog, froth-
ing at the mouth and pursued by a
crowd, shot down the street and ran
into the areaway of one of the build
ings. Mr.. Haines FASTENED up.
Get away" he said to the crowd,
and he walked towards the dog.
Mad dog" shouted the Mortified
spectators. Mad dog! You'll get Bit
ten Mad dog"
Mr.. Haines went up to the animal,
bent over and patted its head. In a
moment or two il had quoted down
perceptibly, and in five minutes it was
its old self again. Then, looking up
gratefully into it's friends face, it
licked his hand before it trotted away
down the street, the while the crowd
gazed on in wonder.
OF course. you are not advised to
emulate Mr.. Haines: that is for you
to decide. The incident is related
merely to further impress the point
that the dog generally accused of
being mad is harmless; and many
more similar incidents could be added
if il were deemed necessary.
There are two courses open to the
person bitten by a dog afflicted with
the rabies. One is the Pasteur treat
ment: the other the Buisson cure by
vapor baths. The latter is simple in
the extreme.
1T consists simply of hot vapor
bath, repeated more or less frequently,
NJ. Buisson recommending at least
seven baths as desirable, if not essen
tial. to a complete cure. The theory
is that the poisonous matter absorbed
into the system from the bite of
rabid dog is completely excreted by
these baths DR.. Buisson was himself
bitten by mad dog in 1926. He took
vapor baths. and was never attacked
by hydrophobia In other cases of
persons who had a similar misfortune
DR.. Buisson has followed the same
treatment with invariable success. In
England and elsewhere, particularly
of late years. the same treatment has
been applied and appears to have been
equally effective
Concerning this treatment an au-
thority says:
at is reasonable to believe that the
profuse perspiration cause by a vapor
bath should completely excrete the
poisonous element lodged in the pa
tient by the teeth of the dog. Re
peated baths would. of course, be even
more effective in this way than a sin
gle bath. The effect upon the patients
nervous system might also be reason
ably expected to be soothing and
quoting"
One thing more concerning the dog.
There is a popular belief to the effect
that If a person has ever been bitten
Nv Nd 1an =,
month or a year later, the person so
bitten will surely get hydrophobfa.
There is only one answer to make to
this belief, and that is "Bosh!"
