MARQUIS MacswEENEY's HEIR.

MARQUIS MacsWEENEY's HEIR.
An interesting baptism took place at
st. Mary church, Dublin, Ireland, re.
Gently. The infant was the son and
heir of the Marquis MacSweeney and
the ceremony was performed by the
Bishop of Kerry, assisted by several
priests. The godfather was the Brazil
ian minister to the Holy See, Senior
Azeredo, and the godmother was
Princess Colonna di Stigiano. A spe.
cial blessing on the newly baptized
boy was received by telegram from
the Holy Father. The marquis and
his wife are as we'll known in the
Irish capital as they are in Rome,
passing all their time between the
two cities.

Supreme Court CHANGES.

There is not a single member of the
Supreme court of President Harrison's
day now serving on the bench. Twenty
six years is not long time for con-
tinuity of service in the lower courts.
There are hundreds of judges appoint
ed at the age of thirty-five who are
still in full mental vigor at seventy,
and not a few cases of this kind are
to be found in the lower federal and
state courts. Even Chief Justice
White, however, is able to point to
judicial record Of only twenty-six
years. He was appointed by Cleveland
in February, 1894, and all the members
with whom he was associated at that
time have passed away. President
Taft had the honor of appointing a full
majority of the Supreme court in the
course of his four years in Office. He
appointed Justices Hughes, Van De-
vanter, Lamar and Pitney. President
Wilson has already made two appoint
acknowledgements and Brandeis-
and now has another appointment to
make. Despite all the changes that
have taken place in recent years, more
cases were disposed of by the Supreme
court during its recent term than in
any other term since 1890. A total of
SAT cases were decided, while in 1890
there were go cases. There still re-
main on the docket 522 cases.-Thomas
F. Logan, in Leslie's Weekly.

DEADLY SNAKES MADE STUDY
Garden of Serpents," in Brazil, Is
Maintained for the Production
of Serums.

Brazifs Garden of Serpents" is one
Of the most interesting, though to
some, repulsive sights in the world,
and is maintained purely for scientific
purposes. 1t is located at Butanta,
Brazil, and occupies in all some 700
acres. Here are the laboratories which
produce serums for the cure and pre-
vention of the effects of snake bites.
The snakes used in preparing the
serums are kept in a small park, con-
tanning numerous dome-shaped shell
tiers, which is surrounded by a wall
and ditch filed with water. Other
specimens are kept in a similar park
near the main building, in order to
study their habits, favOrite food, the
very diverse venomous properties of
various species, and the best method
of escaping their attacks. The hot and
moist forests of Brazil contain many
venomous serpents, but the slightest
noise alarms the peaceful and timid
reptiles, which attack only those per-
sons and animals that tread on them
or destroy their lairs. The principal
families are the Bothrops and the Gro
tales, or rattlesnakes. The BOthrops'
venom decomposes the blood and pro-
duces internal hemorrhage, with in
tense congestion of the liver, kidneys
and brain, while the venom of the Gro
tales paralyZeS the respiration, circu-
lation and vision, and usually causes
death within twenty-four hours. Each
venom requires it's special antidote
The laboratory heads prepare a serum
for each, and also pOlyvalent, or COM
pound serum, which is effective against
all Brazilian snake venoms, for use
when the species of the attacking
snake is unknown. The serums are OBJ
tanned from young and sound horses
and asses, which receive, at intervals
Of five or six days, injections of venom,
increasing from one-twentieth milli-
gram to one gram. A years treatment
is required to produce perfect immun-
ity and an effective serum. The poly
valent serum is obtained by injecting
the Venoms of Bothrops and Crotales
alternately. The animals thus immun-
lied furnish antivenom serum for a
long time if they receive a fresh in
lection of venom after each extraction
of serum. Tubes of serum, with hypo-
dermic syringes, are sent gratuitously
to hospitals, municipalities and poor
patients. Others are sold at low
prices or exchanged for live snakes.
Serums for pest, diphtheria and
tetanus also are produced by the
usual methods.
