The venoms of serpents. fishes. scor.

as well as the blood of the eel, owe
their virulence of the presence of tox-
ins similar to those which are secreted
In bacteria. In both cases the toxins
are specific products of the activity of
living cells. They are very poisonous,
non-crystallizable colloids, of unknown
chemical constitution. The venom tox-
ins are very sensitive to the action of
heat and light, are easily destroyed by
digestive ferments, and consequently
are innocuous when swallowed. There
is great variety of these toxins, each
OF which exerts specific action in
the nervous system, thu red or the
white blood corpuscles,. etc.
1t Is possible to produce in any ami
NAL an artificial condition of immun-
ity to the effects of any animal venom
This Is accomplished by the repeated
Injection of the venom In doses, each
OF which Is too small to cause death
After larger or smaller number of
injections the animal acquires the pow
er to resist the action of many times

suffice to cause death, If 1t were inject.
ed Into the veins OF non-immunized
animal. The blood of the immunized
animal now contains a new substance,
an antitoxin which has the property
Of neutralizing the toxin of the venom,
and this blood Cor rather Its watery
part, or serum) may be employed to
combat the toxic action OF the venom
In a non-immunized animal.
The ichneumon, the hedgehog anu
some other animals which devour ve-
nomous serpents, exhibit an extraordi-
nary resistance to the effect Of their
bites. This natural immunity is ex-
planned by the presence of antioxins in
the blood Of these animals. Serpents
are also little affected by their own
venom. In general, 1t is almost i'm
possible to kill a venomous animal by
inoculating 1t with the venom Of its
own species, Of which 1t can support
very large doses with impunity.
These facts demonstrate the absurd
ity Of the stories Of rattlesnakes and
scorpions committing suicide by means
of their own venom. 1t is asserted
that scorpion or a rattlesnake i'm
prisoned In a circle of red-hot Goals
will sting or bite itself to death. This
is physiological impossibility.-Cos-

CHAPTER XIX


The next day Mrs. Saville did not
feel equal to write or attend to busi-
ness. Her head felt heavy and giddy,
she said; so she ordered the ram
shackle carriage and drove to the cha
teau. hoping the air would revive her.
1t did not. however. She said she felt
inclined to sleep-that the air was too
strong for her, or rather that she had
grown too weak for the air-that tho
place made her melancholy, and she
would leave next day. Hope persuad-
ed her to try and rest. She covered
her over with wraps; for, though the
day was warm, she complained of cold,
and shivered good deal, Hope took
her knitting and sat patiently beside
her for more than an hour, during
which Mrs. Saville slept heavily, some
times moaning; then she woke sudden
ly, as If startled, and thought she
heard several people enter the room
noisily. She was better, and insisted
on taking little walk on the beach.
At dinner she could not eat, but COM
planned of great thirst. Feeling severe
headache and drowsiness, she went
early to bed. Hope felt more uneasy
than she cared to confess, and persuad-
ed Mrs. Saville to let her maid sleep
in her room.
Then she retired herself, first to
write at considerable length, then to
seek forgetfulness in her bed. But in
vain; her nerves were strained, and an
irresistible presentiment of evil weigh.

She dressed accordingly, little think

should again go regularly to bed.
Mrs. Saville seemed quite herself
when Hope reached her bedside, except
that her hands and skin were dry and
burning, her eyes bright and restless.
She wanted to get up In order to Ire

seemed feverishly anxious to be at
