Some Fresh knowledge Concerning
Snakes.

Ever since the serpent beguiled EVE
In the Garden Of Eden the interest Of
humanity in snakes has been SO great
that it Is quite remarkable that the ex-
istence of flying serpents remained I'M
known to scientific investigators up to
the first decade Of the twentieth century.
OF course, there have been traditions
in many countries Of the appearance Of
serpents with wings, and even HERoDo-
rUs had something to say about winged
ophidians; but, 80 far as we are aware,
there has been until now no scientific
record OF a trustworthy character con-
frming the existence of snakes that can
fly. biologists, it is true, in theoretical
discourses upon the subject, have ad-
mitted that an air traversing serpent
was not an utterly inconceivable Great
ure, from a scientific point Of view,
inasmuch as there are flying lizards
which are capable OF moving through
the air for considerable distances sup
ported by a membrane like a parachute
connecting the animals projecting ribs.
The theoretical possibility thus sug-
gested has turned out to Beg reality il
we may believe a communication re-
Gently addressed to the London Spec
tdtor by Mr.. R. SHELFoRD Of the Mu-
scum Of Zoology at Oxford.
Mr.. SHELFoRD, it appears, has within
a few years been engaged In explorations
and researches in natural history on the
island of Borneo; and there he say that
he has found 'two species of snakes
capable OF q parachute flight from the
submits of trees" This is all that he
has vet disclosed to the public in regard
to these very interesting reptiles, but
further information is promised in a
forthcoming publication of the zoologi-
cal Society Of London.
Coincident with this announcement
there has fallen under our observation a
very interesting communication in the
Journal Of the American Medical Asso-
citation relative to the character and
treatment of the bites Of venomo
snakes. The author of the paper is DR..
c. ". r. CRUM of jefferson, Md. He
has enjoyed unusual opportunities in
the treatment Of cases Of snake bite,
having for several years been called
upon to attend at least two cases a year
in which the patient was suffering from
bites inflicted by copperheads. The
most remarkable result of his observa-
tons is the conclusion that among
snakes of the viper class-that is to say.
rattlesnakea, copperheads and vipers
the bites inflicted by young and small
snakeA are more -danGarons than-thnaA

The handsome and stately Prince Peter
Dolgorukof, First Vice-President, comes
from an older stock in Russian history than.
the Romanoffs. He had all the peasants
on his side from gratitude to a family which
has uniformly taken the side Of the plain
man against organized oflcialism. The
other Vice-President, Prof. Groudeskoul,
has don't even more radically at Kharkoff
University what Muromtzeff did at Mos
COW. He has been spreading the principles
of constitutional law against autocracy
among the south Russians. He is more
radical than the other two, and was in
exile at A%rchangel when he was elected.
If the Government chooses to fight the
Duma, Groudeskoul will un~questionably
lake the revolutionists side. The authority
of these three men is accepted as implicitly
as rulings from the bench in the supreme
court OF m country; and surely no pre-
siding officers ever had the confidence of
a more extraordinary assembly. There

The Northwestern railroad, charged with
blockadng the Broadway crossing Monday
night for a time far in excess of the limit
permitted by the city ordinance, made the
defense in police court that the overflow
OF Indian creek was responsible for the
delay and not the train crew. The validity
Of the city ordinance limiting the time
which railroads are permitted to keep cars
standing on the street crossings to Ave
minutes was not questioned by tho counsel
for the railroad.
It was asserted by the railroad that
debris from the creek washed onto the
tracks and prevented the train backing to
the north and that car which had been
switched onto the "Y2 and had partly left
the track prevented the train being moved
forward to the south. The further hearing
in the case was continued for ten days to
permit the city authorities to make an
investigation as to the conditions prevail
ing at the crossing that night.
The case was not presented to the grand
jury. as had been reported II might. The
Northwestern has assured the city au-
thorities that in future every effort will be
made to abide by the ordinance and it Is
possible that the case will he dropped.

boz. BeIIinger back from ,Friaco.

DIR. F. p. Bellinger OF this city passed
through Council BLUFFS yesterday morning
from San Francisco on his way to Chi
cago. Urgent business prevented him
stopping over here, but he expects to re-
turn in few days. DR.. Bellinger, who
has been making an extended tour of the
orient, arrived in San Francisco but a
day or so before the earthquake. He was
occupying rooms in the Eastman hotel
when the city was shaken. He was
thrown out of bed and escaped into the
street clad in an overcoat over his night
clothes. When the nrst shock had passed
he returned to his room and succeeded In
securing part Of his clothing. The hotel
collapsed and later was destroyed by fire.
Dr. Bellinger lost two grips containing
valuable curios which he had bought in
the east and which only the day before
he had taken out of the custom house
His money, amounting TO $3.50, and his
diamonds were in the hotel safe and he
as yet has not been able TO recover them
Among his jewelry in the safe was 4
watch he purchased at Toxic for S2ss.
