Obtaining Snake Serum
the Washington Star.

II rom the w dSnlnStOn star.
 Extracting snake venom is a ticklish and precarious work even for the expert enced expert It always savers not alone of danger, but death. and death from snakebite is excruciating agony. Y Nenomous reptiles are divided into two great classes, those whose poison disor- ganizeses the blood corpuscles and para lyzes the heart-the East India snakes belong to this class-and the second class, whose poison affects the nervous sys- tenn and raralyzes the heart-the rattle snake, of which there are 13s varieties; the copperhead and the moccasin are rep resentatives of this class. In this coun- try there is only one species of the East India snake, the harlequin snake found in Florida, and the gulf states The bite of the Florida harlequin is extremely poisonous.
 In India alone, there are over 3O00O deaths from snakebite in single year. The majority of the inhabitants are of fatalistic belief, which discourages all ex- perimentation or any benefit which might accrue thereupon
 However, there has been some research accomplished there along this line. The French have pushed the work because of their colonists in India and China. ,s . In the United States the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research has ex- perimented widely with all sorts and kinds of venomous serpenrs. but mostly with the rattlesnake, whose bite is dan gerous in proportion to his size.
 As far as can be ascertained. the serum treatment has been successful whenever it has been promptly resorted to. Fur thermore. it has been proved that when small doses, of snake poison are admin istered to person, at stated intervals, that individual will eventually become inn mune to snakebite.

Why Paper Stretches

From the Washington Star.
 To most people all paper looks alike. At any rate, they regard only the diff ferences in it's surface and weight. They do not realize that it has any special internal structure Yet this structure is of great importance. Paper is made of vegetable fiber. and the way in which the fibers lie and their general arrange ment largely determine it's strength and quality.
 All machine-made papers are markedly different from the handmade, in that they will stretch more across than with the grain One reason is that their elas- ticity has been nearly exhausted by the tension in running over the machine.
 Herein lies an element for the con sideration of the users of paper. To appreciate it's importance one has only to think of it in it's application to the roll paper of the piano player, and to imagine what horrible discords would result from badly stretched sheet.
 This brings one to the question of att mospheric conditions in regard to paper. An air-dried sheet of paper contains un- der ordinary conditions about per cent of water Paper when wet expands, in- stead of shrinking like cloth. This, of course is due to the absorption of water by the fibers and their consequent swell ling. The fact is clearly evidenced in the curling of a sheet wet on one side, due to the expansion of that side. As soon as the moisture works through elas-

present heir is Lord Percy, who is some where in France the elderly duke, his father, being still alive. Young Lord Warkworth who is only 6, is sturdy youpgster. Lord Warkworth's mother is the daughter of the Duke of Richmond. One of his uncles is Lord William, in the Grenadier Guards, and the other is Lord Eustace Percy, formerly attached to the British embassy in Washington and now sts stioned in the foreign office.
 There are no more beautiful children in London than those of Lord and Lady Eicho. Lord Elcho is serving in the Gloucester Yeomanry in the east, and it is not unlikely that by this time he has gone, with large force of the British army, to Servia. Lady Elcno is about to start for Egypt. She was there once before during the war, nursing, but she contracted scarlet fever and had to re- turn to England. Lady Elcho's children get their beauty from their mother, who was one of the famous Manners girls" whose cleverness and good looks are fa- nous in England. They are the daugh- ters of the Duke and Duchess of Rut- land.
 Miss May Collins is another of Lon ccn's beautiful children whose father is at the front, fighting for his country. He is a captain and is attached to the staff.
 The Hon. Eloise Gerard is as winsone and pretty as her father, Lord Frederick John Gerard, who has distinguished him. self in the battle line, is brave.

ticity in the machine direction increases

ticity in the machine direction increases with the humidity.
 The lesson to be drawn from these facts is almost too obvious to require elaboration. It is too often the case, however. that the manufacturer of books disregards the nature of fibers. Many books are stiff and inflexible because the grain runs across instead of up and down the page, while many large-page book, or particularly a periodical of light weight paper is, adisagreea bly, and need lessly flimsy for the opposite reason
 The end leaves, too, sometimes indi- cate the ignorance of a hinder by their cockling along the back. due to the ex- pansion after gluing. This danger can, of course, be minimized if the grain runs up and down the page, allowing the pa per to stretch across the grain as it naturally must, as the result of the moisture of the glue swelling the fibers It is precisely for this reason that most Photographers order the grain in their paper the long way of the sheet, so that the sheet in passing through the press may do it's normal stretching without causing a wrinkle.

ir the serum treatment is that to be effective the serum must be prepared from the particular species of snake which did the biting.
 Another curious fact and one not gem erally known, is the recurring symptom of snakebite on or about the anniversary of a bite. The victim of a snakebite may have these recurring symptoms for 10 or F years, and there is a case on record where the recurring symptoms lasted for 25 years.

laide, he was educated at Eton and Sand hurst, and began his military career as a captain in the Seventh Hussars. He served in Matabeleland in 1896 and in South Africa during the Boer war, and in beth campaigns showed fine mettle and won medals, clasps and the distin- gshed service order.
 His wife was formerly her royal high ness, Princess Alice of Albany, one of Queen Victora's grandchildren. Ere ouently described as the most studious of royal princesses, she led a quiet, shadowed girlhood at Claremont with her widowed mother, and is said to have al ways been positive upon one point-that she would never wed a foreign prince. Her marriage with handsome, soldierly Alexander of Teck took place in 1904, and is said to have been that rare thing in royal circles-a real love match. The princess is also exceedingly good to look upon (better yet, as some would think, she brought her husband a handsome dowry), so it is not surprising that their children are so well favored. Their home is the Henry III Tower of Windsor cas- tie, which was turned over to them by King Edward, who, extremely fond Of his niece, was greatly delighted with her marriage.

He represented George at the coronation of the King of Siam (with whom he had previously been at Eton), and also car ried to The Hague the order which was bestowed on Prince Henry of Holland He has done fine work on behalf of charity too carrying on, in addition to many other activities, the splendid service for the great Middlesex hospital, London, that was begun by his late brother, Prince Francis of Teck.

Answers to Correspondents

To Interested Reader" who asks for the origin of the name Rockwell:
 The name Rockwell is of Norman ori- gin, being derived from a town in Nor mandy called Rocheville
 The first of the family was called "of Rocheville,' or de Rochevile,' as the name first appears upon the records.
 History of the family begins with Sir Ralph de Rocheville, wf,o accompanied the Empress Maud int, England when she claimed the throne of that realm during the Norman conquest, 1066. Sir Ralph ultimately joined King Henry II, and for valor and patriotism was granted three knights fee of land' in the Coun- ty of York.
 TO "One of the Bartholomews" who asks to know something about the col onist, William Bartholomew:
 William Bartholomew, born 1902, at Burford, England, married Anna Lord, and they are the forebears of the line tracing back to New England.
 He came over in the "Griffen," and was first at Boston; about 1636 he was freeman of Ipswich, where he had much land He wrote his name indif- ferently Bartylmi, Bartholomew (with- out the second "o"), or Bartholomewe (the letter having an extra flourish was the Sunday spelling, maybe)
 It is an ungrateful descendant who dShS lO1 d DelleT ltCOru lIldH w lllldHl can give. He had been here only seven months when he was chosen to repre- sent the town of Ipswich, at Boston. He was town clerk, and it is recorded that he was to be "payed for his paynes." He took part in the trial of Anne Hutchin- son, whom he knew when she was in London, and he was free to acknowl- edge that the views she entertained were, to say the least, peculiar, al- though he was inclined to judge her not too harshly. He died 1881, and the inventory of his property shows that among other articles he had "blew rugg, olde carpett and two earthen juggs."
 To J. K ON, who asks for the O'Neill coat of arms:
 The coat of arms of the ONeills is blazoned: Per fesse, wavy the chief argent, the base representing the waves of the sea- in chief a dexter hand, couped at the wrist gules, in base sal mon naint proper. The crest is an arm in armor endowed. the hand grasping a sword, all proper. The motto IS, Lamb Dearg Eiren."
