POISONOUS SNAKES.
They Are Absolutely Proof Against
Their Own or Other Venom.

They Are Absolutely Proof Against
Their Own or Other Venom.
Snake venom Is a transparent fluid,
yellowish in color and of about the
consistency Of human saliva. When
dried it takes the form of flaky yellow
crystals. In this shape or dissolved in
alcohol or glycertn 1t will remain I'M
altered and will preserve its poisonous
properties for an indefinite period. No
satisfactory chemical analysis has ever
been made of 1t, but it seems to be
very complex albuminous compound.
4 curious discovery recently made is
that the blood of yenomous 'serpents Is
itself poisonous, containing as it does
the principles that are concentrated in
the secretion Of the venom glands.
Venomous snakes are themselves abb
solutely venom proof. Rattlesnakes
dosed by injection with large Quanti-
ties of their own or other venom have
shown not the slightest Ill effects. An
other remarkable fact Is that serpent
venom is harmless to human beings or
other animals If taken internally. The
late DR.. 8. Weir Mitchell found that
one-fourth OF a drop Of rattlesnake
poison would kill a pigeon If given by
hypodermic injection, but pigeon fed
with six drops a day for three success
sive days suffered not at all In conse-
quence.
Professor Mangili, a pioneer investi-
gator In this line, had an assistant
who boldly swallowed all the venom
that could be extracted from four large
vipers. No bad effects followed. The
same negative result was noted by
Professor Baird, at that time secretary
of the Smithsonian institution, who ate
the venom glands of a rattlesnake. AS
recently asrertained, serpent venom In
such circumstances Is harmless, be-
cause 1t cannot pass through the mu-
| cous membrane that lines the stomach,
and it undergoes changes during dt-
gestion that allow it to enter the blood
as an innocuous substance. - Every

The hustling New York Tribune

The hustling New York Tribune is
naturally desirous of building up a
circulation, but in doing so it should
not lose sight of it's motto, "First to
Last-the Truth" Some Of the SEN
sational stories it has been running
of late regarding the dual personal
ity Of the German representative for
whom Ambassador Won Bernstorff
secured a safe passage to Europe,
and the tampering-with the United
States mails by German spies would
stand little more Investigating be-
fore publishing, especially as they
have such an important bearing on
our foreign relations at this particu-
lar time. The Tribune must beware
of jingoism if it would make an i'm
preston on the thinking class of
people to which it apparently is
catering.

EASIEST WAY THE BEST.

Some misguided people in South
Amboy seem to be still laboring
under the impression that any i'm
provement that may be made at the
south approach to the Raritan river
bridge means the permanent closing
Of the hole-in-the-w wall. No one is
S6yQeating the closing of the "hole." >"
No one. as far as we have been able
to learn, would even consider a
proposition that included the closing
of this passageway. Every idea ad
vanced has been with the idea Of
widening and improving the "hole." 4"
The question is, how to bring this
about as quickly as possible and in
a way that will be the most mex
pensive to the city of South Amboy.
The city has tried the courts and
has been beaten. 1t can try the
courts again, following a different
course, as suggested by the court
that decided the last case. This,
however, will take much time and
involve considerable expenditure.
However, If the city refuses to take
any other means of remedying the
condition, the people of Mechanics
Vile will be justified in demanding
of the city fathers that legal steps
be taken, cost what they may.
But there is reason to believe that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is willing to meet the city more than
half way in solving the problem. Let
us take as the very basis of the
question the improvement of the
hole-in-the-wall That is what we
are aiming at. The question is, how
can this best be accomplished to the
satisfaction of all concerned?
In the first place we must concede
that the railroad company has rights
that must be considered. This much
was definitely settled in the court
case that has already been decided.
We all know that the people have
rights that must be considered. The
next thing is to get together. and we
believe the problem can be solved
more easily by peaceful means and
on friendly basis than by fighting
in the courts with both sides feeling
bitterly toward each other.
The South Amboy Citizen. in its
last issue, quotes paragraph from
one of our editorials in which we
say that the only thing left is for the
South Amboy council "to call con-
ference with the railroad company
and get at first hand the offer that
has been set before the public The
Citizen then goes on to say:
The above is going some! If the
railroad has anything to offer this
city, it is up to the officials to appear
before the council and state their
offer The city at present time has
not asked any favors, therefore why
should the council "call a confer
enee?"
In other words. according to the
Citizens argument, if party is
maintaining nuisance in city the

about the nuisance on the ground
that if the party maintaining the
nuisance has anything to offer In the
way of remedy let him come be-
fore the council and present his
ideas for the same, otherwise the
city authorities will keep hands off.
How many nuisances do you think
would be abated under such a
policy?
AS matter of fact, would not the
proper course be for the city to
notify the party responsible for the
nuisance that it has been complained
of; that 1t is a detriment to the
health and progress OF the city and
that it must be abated, what does
the party propose to do about it.?
This is not asking any favors, it is
asking for only what the city is
entitled to.
At the present time the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company is maintain
ing a nuisance at the hole-in-the-
wall 1t is foolish for the city
authorities of South Amboy to re-
main indifferent, waiting for the
railroad officials to make the first
advance. If the city is satisfied to
let the present conditions remain in
definitely, surely the railroad COM
pany has no fault to find. But 1t is
the city officials duty to have the
nuisance abolished and to that end
it is clearly up to the city to ask the
railroad company what it proposes
to do about the matter.
OF course, the city can say, unless
the nuisance is abated within a give1
number of days action will be taken
to compel the railroad company tc
act. But that policy has already
been tried and the city lost. 1t car
try another course in the courts, tc
be sure, but that means much ex-
pense. But suppose the railroad
company comes back with the pro-
position that it will remedy the
condition at the "hole' if the city
will take over the road that the rail
road company built over it's private
property, after the road has been put
in repair.
We all know that this road is USE
less to the city, but the city is
already paying watchman $40 a
month at the hole-in-the-wall With
the improvement of the "hole'' this
watchman would no longer be need
ed. Suppose, then, this $40 were
used every month in keeping the
new road In repair, would it cost the
taxpayers Of South Amboy cent
more than 1t is costing them now,
and they would then have two hand
some approaches to their city instead
of the present outrageous condition? {?
But, better still, there is every
reason why the Board of Freehold
ers should take over the private
road, once it has been accepted by
the city, thereby relieving the city of
all expense, meaning saving to the
taxpayers Of $40 a month and two
handsome approaches in the bargain.
Think It over, you people of South
Amboy, and get behind your council
men who are trying to redeem the
good name of your city in the eyes
of the thousands of visitors who
pass that way every week. South
Amboy cannot afford to let any in
dividual dislikes interfere with the
welfare of the city as a whole.
