BITE KILLS
FINDER OF ANTIDOTE
Professor Fox Snake Trainer Dies From Puncture Wrist
Owned 500 Serpents and Often Submitted Bites.

CALCUTTA, March 2S-The death
occurred here recently of a man for
whom it is claimed that he was with
out an equal in his skill in handling
snakes This was Professor Fox,
an Australian snake farmer. who came
10 India q little time ago To prove
the efficiency of what he claimed to
be a perfectly sure antidote to the
virus of a snake. The announcement
of Professor" Fox's death has been
cabled briefly to the Sun.
Fox had been successful in all his
experiments with animals in the Cal
cutta zoo, ard on Thursday last he
had just treated goat which had
been bitten and was leaning on box
containing poisonous snakes when a
kraft, one Of the most venomous of
Indian snakes, escaped and punetured

perturbed and treated four Of the
bites at once. but the fifth ESCAPED his
notice, Later in the day symptoms
of poisoning developed and the any
fiftU punctura was discovered. 1t
was then too late, as the antidote On
~ acts if applied at once, and Fox
died the same evening.
Fox was we'll known in Australia
His snake farm was "A few miles tut
side Sydney. where he kept over 500
snakes, most of which he had caught
in the brush. His business was TO
extract the poison from the snakes
and sell 1t to the chemists, and for
this purpose he farmed snakes as 9TH

moved about his stock as fearlessly
as If they were rabbits.

rarely tried to lift up a coiled snake.
1t was a most difficult thing to do.
and he always preferred to catch the
reptile when, stretched to its full
length, 1t was gliding away from him.
He then approached from behind,
caught it firmly by the tail, and as it
turned It's head to strike he would
catch 1t by the neck and also place
it in the bag.
A fighting snake--for instance a til

before attempting to handle, and

among his snakes with his shirt

He had been bitten over a hundred
times and used the antidote of his
