It is far different from reading a newspaper account of it, and the im- pression remains for a much greater length of time.
 My first idea was that the end of all things had come and that, for some in- applicable reason, his satanic lowness had overlooked me once more, since there I stood. safe and sound upon the crust of things that were while human ity all about me was pouring into the abyss that had so quickly opened to re- ceive them.
 You have read better descriptions of this horror than I can give you, nor is 1t news today, but long after it shall have been forgotten by those who saw 1t not. shall in memory behold that great 'thoroughfare sinking into the bowels of the earth before my eyes. shall hear the cries of the people who went down with it, and I shall see again the mangled mass at the bottom, and a pair of legs sticking out of a pool of water there.
 Yes. the note of gladness and cheer is hard to inject but we are growing as morbid as modern movie melodrama. However. all New York feels bit that way these days.

 Broa dway has wrecked not a rew lives, but not exactly in thls way. Perhaps, in these swift moving days Broadway feels that its lobster palaces it's gilded cafes etc., are not gathering them in fast enough and so-the sudden sinking.
 We'll the municipality promises to take care of us as best it can, yet admits that we are living over mica slime and rotten rock which may fail of It's present purpose at any moment. Even the Kaiser promises to take care of his army, believe. but they have been killed off by thousands. It would be hard to say which section will sink next, and there fore there is little use in endeavoring to play safe-it isn't possible unless one keeps out of the subway section alto gether-but even Brooklyn has some sub way. and think what an awful fate it would be to have to look ones last upon earth-from Brooklyn.

 Getting. back to the subway cave-in from slightly varying angle: It was natural to see the policemen, firemen and others keeping the crowds back No one dared approach the big hole on Seventh avenue until some ''peppery" looking young men bearing peculiar looking cameras stepped up An, then there was change of att titude, The officers in charge seemed to be more than glad to see the charming movie boys and were as nospitable as an old-time southerner in their invitations to the camera men to come right along in. Now just why that was. the case I shall leave you to figure out, and 1t Is no difficult riddle either.

There's no need to be lonely here un- less one likes 1t. And the subway trouble hasn't killed all enthusiasm judging from this little incident which actually hap pened: Coming out in a Broadway sub way the other night. I saw, upon the crowded platform, a mans hand and that of a woman slowly come in contact Later his arm went-but what's the use to go into detail? Before they parted he kissed her; yes. slr right in the subway and as they say here, dated her up" for that evening at a lobster palace. At first her back was toward him. Later her face was. How she turned it in his direction In that jam is beyond me, and how he stood it after she got 1t turned is a still greater mystery, but this Is New York or so l have been informed

During my walk through the labor atory. I asked the doctor as to the hog and the rattler. saying that on our farms in Virginia, we sometimes put hogs to eat np the rattlers. The doctor replied that he did not believe that the common hog would eat a rattlesnake He said that he had not found 1t so in Brazil. Not long ago he starved hog for three days and then put 1t in pen in which were some ratlesnakes The mathematics hit the hog and their bites did not seem to affect 1t, but the hog did not eat the rattlesnakes nor attempt to do so.
 Another question I asked was as tt the use of the maidstone, which many people believe can be placed on a snake bite in such way that 1t will suck the poison out of the blood of the man who Is bitten. Tho dootof laughed and said this was ridiculous as was also the theory that the drink ing of whisky was an antidote for snake poison.
 Dr. Brazil says that 1t Is a mistake to think that snakes are vicious Of vindicative, or that they will attack people of their own accord. On tha other hand. they are timid and will run away if possible. They only att tack one in self-defense. In this con- nection durlng my stay l saw one or the guards lifting rattlers and other venomous snakes about in the snake city. He carried then on an iron hook here and there and hit them on ths back with the hook without their coll. ing or attempting to strike him.
 Dr. Brazil says that the poison of the snake in the glands accumulates very slowly. It takes the reptile about 15 days to store enough to do damage, and the lOuUer after that hA can ba kent with out biting the more poison there is in his glands For this reason the bite of a snake is far more venomous at some

yard high and the snakes in them were of all sizes and colors. Some
 looked like jewels and the coral snakes were especially beautiful. . One table
 was devoted to poisonous sankes and in this was the Brazilian rattler, which is especially venomous. It Is of a much lighter color Ghan our rattlesnake and 1t Is the only kind of rattler found in Brazil. whereas the director tells me that there are 12 species of rattlesnake 6 in the United States.
 We next looked at the terrible Lachesis lanceolatus. the Jararaca of the Inxtans. This Is deadly poisonous. and its bite will kill man or animal within a few minutes. We saw num- erous other poisonous snakes, but they all belonged to three or four families and can be controlled by the serums made for those families. In addition to this, there Is another serum which is made stronger than the ordinary serum for such cases where the family of the snake Is not known.
 It is on account of this fact that the poison must come from the same fam fly that serum prepared in other countries would be of no good in ours. Each country needs it's own institution and to make the serum from its own snakes or of those of other countries which are of about the same nature. For this reason the venom of Asiatic snakes which vii counteract the bites of European vipers Is useless against the bites of the Bothrops or Crotalus of Brazil. For the same reason the serum from snake poison would be of no use against a scorpion poison or against the venom of a spider. Dr. Brazil Is now experimenting with SCOT pions, but they have so little poison that 1t takes a vast number to furnish the doses necessary to inoculato the horses and 1t is difficult to get enough serum .,,,

RosE OF LOVE.

 Oh, the heart of me Is empty, Like vase that long ago, Held a rose of rarest beauty. Plucked from where Loves fIowers grow, In garden walled with joy. And hope-filled sky above. Where the buds are promised blessings And the Gardener Is Love But the bliss that used to thrill me. In the days that are no more, Now Is gone--the vase is empty. Save for memories of yore, Which are but the roses fragrance Though 1t knows no more the dew: Filled with tenderness and sweetness. An. and with such fragrance too. Only tender mem'ries ling'ring Where delight once held place, Like the fragrance of the flower Clinging still about the vase; But It's bloom no more delights me, There's 0 void now instead And the heart of me is empty For my Rose of Love is dead Of course. if you are going to pro- nounce vase" like some people try to, then I'll have to claim poetic license to get the foregoing across.

given the results of its operations to tha people at large.
 The institute at Butantan has been in operation for dozen-odd years, and it has saved hundreds, and might say thousands of lives. It has sent out more than 46,000 tubes of the serum for snakes, and within the past seven years only, it has handled more than 1900 of such snakes, extracting the poison from their glands and putting 1t in the veins of the horses.
 Today it has hundreds of venomous reptiles, the bite of any of which is sure death. It's snakes come from this state of Sac Paulo They are sent in by the farmers, each man receiving a tube of the serum for every snake he sends in. Tubes are also given out to
