Scientists Watch Rare Operation on
Brazilian LanCehead.

An operation, the first of its kind in eighty
years and the second in the history of medical
science, was performed in the reptile house. at

medical men in the country were spectators. The
patient the lancehead snake, of Brazil

los, the poison from which is the most deadly
known in the reptile world.
This particular specimen of the lanCehead ar
rived in this country on Saturday, April Is, on
a South American steamer, and was imported
especially for the occasion by a well known
chemist of this city. The serum from this dan
gerous reptile is OF the utmost value in the
treatment of cases of insanity and infectious
diseases. and is greatly priced on account of the
difficulty in obtaining the snake alive.
It was back in 1S2S that the last supply of
this poison was obtained by a German scientist.
DR. Herring. who was on an expedition to the
upper waters of the Amazon. in Brazil. when he
first heard OF the snake. This small quantity If

while scarcely equal to the capacity of a small
teaspoon. was sufficient for the worlds needs
until the present day, and even now there is
