RATTLESNAKE VENOM
CONSUMPTION CURE

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Jan. 13.--Henry
Hoefner, a retired druggist, who has
been taking crotalin. or rattlesnalSe
venom, for an advanced case OF tub
erculosis, completed his one hundredth
dose of one-fifteth of a grain and
today came after a fresh supply. He
was greatly improved in appearance,
his cough much lighter and said that
when he coughed it did not hurt him
as it did before beginning the treat
ment. He was also much stronger
He IS now sanguine that his cure will
be effected.
Mr., Hoefner said: II shall take doses
Of one-twenty-f of a grain from
now on, and I shall also prepare the
medicine in a different way. What
l have taken was absorbed in sugar
of milk and divided into powders. 1
find that the poison is likely to de-
teriorate when exposed 10 the air, so
shall take all future doses prepared
with guiacol, a distillation of beech
wood, somewhat similar to carbolic
acid, in a proportion Of 1 TO 4. The
guiacol will, believe, keep the venom
at its full strength.

FIND OUT
The Kind Of Food That Will Keep
You Well!

The true way is to find out what is
best to eat and drink, and then culti-
vate a taste for those things instead
of poisoning ourselves with improper,
indigestible food, etc.
A conservative Mass. woman writes:
Il have used Grape Nuts years for
the young and for the aged; in sick

CAVE JEWELLERS
ALL BLIND

The underlife Of the caves has a
world Of its own, says the Chicago
Tribune. Animals are born in subter-
ranean caverns followed out by
streams, develop. reproduce and die
while forever deprived Of the sun
light. There is no cave mammal ex-
cept o rat nor Is there cave bird.
There are no animals that require
much nourishment.
Grottos with underground rivers have
the most life. Usually the subterranean
life resembles the general types OF the
country. II has entered tho cave ana
become acclimated there, undergoing
divers adaptive notifications. So we
generally find, IN modified forms, tho
life Of our time. But in some caverng
there seem to be the remains Of an
ancient animal life that has every
where else disappeared from terrestrial
rivers and lives only In certain
caverns.
The creatures of modern species that
have adapted themselves to under
ground conditions are sharply separat-
ed from the light dwellers. Their
skin is whitish or transparent. The
eye atrophies or disappears altogether.
The optic nerve and the optic lobe dis
appear. leaving the brain profoundly
modified Other organs develop in
proportion. Those of hearing, smell
and touch Become large. Sensitive
hairs, hairs. long and coarse, appear
all over the body.

On Saturday a man drifted into a
shop and had his hair cut. He re-
marked that he had been intending
to attend 20 it for some days. but had
been busy. He got a fine hair cut
with massage and various other frills.
Four hours later he appeared in the
same shop, Tit up" in the language
Of the barber. and demanded that he
be given a good hair cut, tho same
time voicing his regret that business
had prevented him from getting in
earlier In the week. The barber ex-
planned that his hair had been cut
only the same day. but the~man grew
indignant and to appease his wrath
he was given a phantom clipping,
with shaving OF the neck and various
other trimmings. which satisfied him.

WEATHER BUREAU CHIEF
OPPOSES B0MBARDME
Moore Thinks Firing Of Big Guns
Would Be Useless

WASHINGTON Aug. 27.-The gov
ernment officials believe 1T would be
a, waste of money to explode big guns
on the Pacific coast In the hope OF
producing rain. This is their reply to
further requests for a bombardment OF
the heavens with the big guns of the
coast artillery at Puget sound and at
the mouth of the Columbia river.
The war department asked the wea-
ther bureau today for an opinion as
to the probable efficacy of the exper-
iment.
Willis L. Moore, chief of the bureau,
in reply explained that the only result
probable would be to "create field
for years to come for charlatans hav-
ing in a measure the sanction of the
government operations, to prey upon
the credulity of the public and to Sc
cure both private and public revenue
for their efforts to produce rain.
"A few years ago." said Mr.. Moore
in his opinion, under authority of
congress the agricultural department
expended $4,000 in the effort to create
rain by bombarding the clouds with
powerful explosives. The effort was
made in both the humid regions of the
east and the subarid regions of the
west, but no rain whatever was pro-
duced.
= "Wa have no record OF a downfall
of rain following the hundreds of ac-
cidental explosions of powder mills
and magazines and the records of the
government show that no more rain
occurs on the Fourth OF July than on
any other of the first fifteen days of
the month. The reason why rain usu-
ally followed the great battles of his

$4,000 MILES TO
SEE SUN ECLIPSE
Father Cortie Will Travel England
to Australia for Three
Minute Phenomenon

Commissioned by Great Britain to
travel 25.0OO miles for the sole purpose
of observing an eclipse of the sun that
will last three and one-half minutes,
the Rev. Aloysius L. Cortie, S. j., now
in Los Angeles, will go to Sydney, AUS
tralia, early next year, where he will
board a British warship which will
convey him to VaVau, in the south Pa
cific. There his observations will be
made. He expects to secure photo
graphs of the eclipse Of great value to
astronomers. The eclipse will occur
April 2S, 1911.
The Rev. Mr. Cortie is a fellow of
the Royal Astronomical society of
England, and one of the best known
astronomers who will attend the ses-
sions of the International Solar union
on Mount Wilson this week. He is
prominent English Jesuit and will
preach this morning at 10:30 in st.
Vibiana's cathedral.
Father Cortie is a well known n1u-
sician and is director of music at
Stonyhurst college, the largest Cath
Ollie institution of learning in Eng
land, as we'll as being professor of
physics. He is general supervisor of
atory school and in the seminary, and
has personal direction of the college
choir.
HERE FOR MT. WILSON SESSION
Father Cortie is a member of several
of the important committees of the
International Astronomical society and
will take a prominent part in the ses-
sions at Mt. Wilson. He went to Spain
for the 1905 eclipse of the sun and Sc
cured six splendid photographs. His
speciality in the astronomical world is
solar physics and he comes to the Mt.
Wilson gathering as the representative
of the Royal Astronomical society of
England. Eight astronomers from
England, from the two academies will
be present, Father Cortie having left
his party at Ell Tovar at the Grand
canyon Friday in order to reach Los
Angeles in time for the service this
morning.
Stonyhurst college, where Father Cor
tie is one of the leading educators, was
founded a little more than 800 years
ago, during the reign of Queen Eliz-
abeth. AS Catholic educational insti-
tutions were not allowed the college
was founded abroad for the education
of the sons of English Catholic fami-
lies, but during the French revolution
was driven back to England, where it
has been established 115 years Father
Cortie has been connected with that
institution for twenty years.
This is the first visit of the eminent
divine to America. and he states that
he has greatly enjoyed his trip, having
landed in Boston and visited Harvard,
Albany, the Yerkes observatory and the
observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz. After
the convention at Mt. Wilson he will
go to San Francisco, Denver, Omaha,
Washington and New York, visiting the
Jesuit institutions of those cities, and
will sail for England September "a.
