TO GET VENOM FOR SCIENCE
Deadly EiGht-FoOt Bushmaster Is
Brought From Trinidad. How
Poison Is Secured.

NEW YORK.-After a desperate
fight with one of the deadiest of all
snakes, the bushmaster, in the rep
tile house of the Geological park, the
Bronx, yesterday, Curator Raymond
l.. Ditmars and his assistant, Charles
Snyder, extracted the venom from it's
fangs. A teaspoonful was obtained.
So priceless is this poison that the
chemist for whom it was obtained
has placed it in a safe deposit vault.
The poison will be used for scien-
tific purposes.
The bushmaster is a reptile that
very few snake experts care to han
die and one in captivity is very
rare. The officials Of the ZOOlo-
gical park have been trying to OBJ
tain one for years, but up to the
time of the arrival of this unusually
fine specimen from the island of
Trinidad their search had been in
vain
1t required months Of search in
luC nome Oh lulS Illutu-I bu tCpIIlt
before success was met The bush
master is about eight feet long and
is healthy, fighting specimen.
Part of the agreement made by
Prof. E. w. Runyon, the chemist who
gave the snake to the park, was that
he was to have the first extraction
Of venom.
Opening the cage Mr.. Ditmars
grabbed the reptile just back of its
head. Snyder and other keepers got
hold of the snakes tail and carried
the reptile to Ditmars private office.
The snake fought viciously flashing
! it's tail sayagely.
In the curator's Office tumbler
had been covered with piece of
! cheese cloth. The head of the rep
tile was placed directly over this, and
while Ditmars and Snyder held the
back of his head the snake was made
to sink his fangs into this cloth.
This was repeated several times, and
the poison obtained was collected by
/ Prof Runyon

COLLEGE LIFE AND DRUNKARDs.
"Wine, Women and Song Send Men
to Slums, Declares Mercer.


Higher education was given as a
cause for the filing of prisons by
E. c. Mercer, a reformed drunkard
now engaged in evangelistic work,
who addressed the students at North
western University in Chicago.
During the last few years l have
been working in the Water Street
Mission at New York" he said, and
| have learned that one-third of the
men who came there ragged and
dirty and begging for food were col
lege-bred. l have found them on the
Bowery making up beds or waiting
on tables, and I have even met them
in misunderstanding brigades. Dur
ing February of last year more than
400 of the mstood in the bread line"
at our mission. Seventy-five per
cent of the prisoners at Sing Sing
prison are college-bred men.
Wine, women and song in col
lege life are responsible for this con-
dition. I could name man after man
who because of that desire for strong
drink cultivated while at college has
pursued a downward course"

STORK MAKES A VISIT A MINUTE
IN NEW YORK CITY.
This Busy Bird Brings Twins Four
Times Day. Death Rate Reach
eS New Low Record.


NEW YORK-The busiest agent
lin New York at present is the stork,
flor the birth rate here has risen to
Ia point at which it has broken all
previous records. Various of the
boroughs which constitute the great
Ter city have held the record for high
birth rate from time to time, but
that of Manhattan has just set new
figure which must make old Mr..
.St0rk weary. In the district which
comprises the lower or southern part
LOT the greater city a new arrival puts
in an appearance every five minutes,
Tor at the rate of 2S8 trips every day
for the stork In other parts the rate
is almost as high, so that figured al
together every sixty ticks of the CLOCK
sees an addition of one to the city
inhabitants. Once every i've hours
and half some family is made nap
Ply with twins; four times a month
the stork brings triplets and hVe
times year bankruptcies. Vital sta
tistics further show that while the
birth rate has been increasing to an
extent which gives every other fam
lily baby once a year, the death rate
has been steadily decreasing. Last
week a new low record was made IN
mis- respect, with only thirteen
deaths in each one thousand inhabl-
tants This figure is considerably
lower than the normal rate, which Is
between fifteen and sixteen per thou
sand. While the highest birth rate
IS IN Manhattan the lowest death rate
IS normally in Brooklyn. Marriages
nave decreased about one-third IN
greater New York, while suicides
nave greatly increased, both OF
winch facts are attributed by investl-
gators to last years panic.

But druggist has solved the prob

fore he was finally successful, The
last vain effr-t to stop the nuisance
was to hand out stamped envelopes
bearing the words: This doesn't mean
anything In particular Most OF the
phone users accepted the envelopes
and walked out. Now the druggist has
placed sign above the telephone
which keeps the laxative ones awake
while they exercise their voices and
