Immune to snake Poison.

The remarkable combats Of the In
dian mongoose with venomous snakes,
in which 1t always comes of victor.
are we'll known. The fact that 1t In
variably survives has led to the sugges-
tion that 1t is immune to snake poi
son. Other animals said to be i'm
mune are the pig and the hedgehog.
With regard to the mongoose, in
deed, this immunity has been denied,
and If bitten 1t is said to fall VIC
tim as rapidly as other animals. If
this be true, the London Globe says,
then 1t must owe Its victories to Its
wonderful agility in avoiding the bites
of the reptile. However this may be,
some recent experiments of MIG. Bal
lard show that an animal Of the dor
mouse family must be added to the list
of the immune.
This animal is known as the lerot
and is said to fight fiercely with vipers.
Mr.. Billiard injected large doses Of vi
per's poison into the. .lerot and found
that no i'll effects followed On one
occasion, again, one of them was bit
ten badly on the eye by a viper, and
no signs Of poisoning followed. There
can, then, be no doubt that the lerot
is immune to snake poison.

TRADE IN HUMAN HAIR GROWING
Demands Of Fashion Create Profit
able Industry in German Cities.

z Owing to demands Of fashion, Ger
man imports and exports of human
hair have increased greatly during the
last year. Imports of human hair were
1924 metric tons, OF 2,204.6 pounds
each, In 1893. and 1876 tons in 1909,
while the exports increased from 33.S
to 64.1 tons. Germany imported from
China 5S.7 tons OF hair in 1909, and
1876 tons from Austria the same year.
An idea OF the vast quantity of hair
indicated by these figures may be OBJ
tanned by remembering that the aver
age weight of a full growth of hair
from the head of healthy woman In
the prime Of life Is about half pound.
Chinese hair is the most abundant and,
therefore, the cheapest, White hair is
the most valuable. old people seldom
possessing fun growth. Hair from
China undersDes a complicated chem
ical and mechanical process to make
it thinner, and is bleached and dyed.
High prices charged for human hair
have led to the introduction OF many
substitutes. chiefly vegetable fibers, but
seldom are these sufficiently flexible to
be successful limitations.

Noah. FLOOD record doubted.

+ a 4 u
During the session of the American
Oriental Society in Baltimore, Prof. g.
A. Barton, of Bryn Mawr. questioned
the correctness of the much discussed
discovery of Prof. Hilprecht. of the
University Of Pennsylvania of tablet
from the famous temple library" Of
Nippur containing a portion Of the
Babylonian deluge story. Hilprecht
called 1t the Oldest known reference to
the flood in writing, the tablet being at
least 1000 years older than the Bible
narrative. He gave out translation
of 1t, which Barton says is largely inn
aginary. The tablet Is Of unbaked clay.
measuring az by rs inches and near
ly an inch thick. But part has been
broken away. 1t bears no date, but in
ternal evidence places it beyond zoos
B. G. The inscription is understood to
be divine command to the Noah of
Babylon to build ship and save life
from an all-destroying flood. This Nip
pur version differs from the two found
at Nineveh and agrees with the Bibli-
cal story. according to Hilprecht. DR..
William H. Ward, while deprecating
the animus against Hilprecht, thought
that the tablet dated from later
period and that it was largely imagi-
nation to call 1t an account of the flood.

Her Scalp Itched Intolerably.

Just about two years ago. some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but

combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching.
In painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, II deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to

seems to be confirmation Of this dis

Last year only seven nests were found
on the trees in the vicinity of the
home Of these squirrels, and this year
when the nests are twenty times as
thick in other places. only four are
