Cures for Cobra Bite and Hydropho
bia They Will Not Divufge.

From the London Standard.
Every one knows, Of course. that the
bite of the Indian cobra Is fatal But
what Europeans do not actually know is
whether or not the natives of india re-
ally possess the cures they claim to have
both. for cobra bite and for hydrophobia.
A few years ago an Indian civilian in
Burma strolled out with his gun in the
evening. When scarcely a hundred yards
from the zayat or shelter in which he
was camping s. was bitten in the leg
by a cobra, which he promptly shot. He
at once returned to the zayat and
scrawled a pencil note to be carried by
his orderly to his chief. the deputy COM
missioner, and then resi-. ned himself to
the attentions of couple of Burmese
medicine men who happened to be pass
ing the night there. and to the death
which he accepted as absolutely inevita-
BILE. Meantime his superior officer pro-
ceeded direct to headquarters on receipt
of the news to seal up the unfortunate
mans effects after which he set out for
the zayat to see to the burial of his
subordinate.
On the road he met the dead man"
comfortably jogging along toward head
quarters quite recovered. The Burmese
medicine men had scarified the wound
and rubbed a certain paste into it. They
had also given the patient certain infu-
sions to drink and had cured him. Moth
ing, however. would induce them to give
away the secret.
Our own medicine men have many cures
of hydrophobia to their credit, but cures
of cobra bites are almost unknown An
English officer in the Shan states kept
a number of dogs. one of which recently
went mad and bit one of the sahib's
servants. The station was an isolated
one. The services of Shan doctor were
called in. and the servant, after passing
through all the severe stages of the ter
rble disease. was absolutely and COM
pletely cured by the Shan doctor.
The English officer offered 1OCO rupees
for the secret of the treatment used and
to a Shan this would, of course, be a
large sum of money. But the secret was
never divulged.

An interesting statement relative to
early telegraphy is contained in a manu-
script of Joseph Henry, which is now in
the library of the Princeton University.
In 1890 Henry, then In Albany, expert
mented with a telegraph employing bell
for receiver. Later at Princeton he erect
ed a telegraph line. and referring to this
the statement says: II think the first
actual line OF telegraph. using the earth
as conductor, was made in the begin
ming of 1896. A wire was extended across
tn, front campus from the upper story
of the college library building to the
philosophical hall on the other. Through
this Awire signals were sent from time
to time from my house to my labora-
tory" The operator at the other end
of the line was usually his wife. Parts
of Prof. Henry's apparatus are still In the
Princeton University Museum. among
them being his giant electromagnetic, nick
named big Ben" by the students for
whom he constructed it, BY electrical
communication controlled from his house
this magnet lifted released a weight q
1900 pounds In his laboratory.

Is supported on brackets extending from
the phone. AS shown in the accompany
ing illustration these brackets are pivoted
at several points, making 1t an easy mat

desired The person talking on the phone
can thus quickly adjust the receiver to
