confessions or the men making them.

Paper Trust Committee Split.
The special committee Of six mem
bers of the house which has been in
quiring into the charges Of monopoly
and extortion against the print paper
trust made divided report May %
the majority opposing any tariff re
vision at this time and a minority OF
three urging the passage Of the Ste
vens bill, repeating the tariff ON pulp
and print paper. The majority say
they found no evidence of combina-
ton in restraint of trade, but did find
that increased costs in production had
entered largely into the advance of
prices. They think removal Of the
tariff would result in the destruction
of the forests, dismantling of our pa
per mills and higher prices of paper
instead of lower. On the other hand,
the minority say that ''the tariff plus
the tariff engendered combinations
does account for all of the advance in
price of paper.

Viper Venom Supply Renewed.
To replenish the worlds almost ex-

medicine based on the venom of the
lancehead viper of Brazil, most deadly
of snake poisons, DR.. E. W. Runyon of
New York, with the assistance of the
curator of the Bronx zoo, has per-
formed the operation Of extracting
about eighteen grains of the venom
of lancehead recently imported from
it's native haunts. This new supply is
said to be the first to be obtained since
DR.. Herring, a German scientist acct
dentally discovered the uses of the
venom while in Brazil eighty years ago
and obtained the first supply from one
of the snakes. In a greatly reduced
form the substance is used in the
treatment of diphtheria, insanity and
several nervous diseases. The present
supply is expected to last fifty years.
1t is diluted with sugar, salt and milk
The process of extraction Is fraught
with no little danger, as the snake had
to be held in the hands of the oper
ators while it's head was directed to-

when it struck the drops of venom
would drop into the cup. Also the

The long contemplated experiment in
modern gunnery to test the exact eff
feet of shots on an armored vessel was
begun in Hampton Roads, May 81,
when the monitor Florida was used
as target by her sister ship, the

from a twelve inch gun hit the side Of
the Florida's turret, smashing the
twelve inch armor plate, but so far
spending its force that the cloth screen
placed inside the turret ports showed
no damage. The turret was occupied
by dummy man arranged with
springs so as to record the shocks of
the firing. The experimental military
