MAKING Snake Antidote.

India's annual loss of over 10000
lives from snake bite has forced the
production of an antidote serum. The
Parel laboratory, Bombay, keeps a
supply of cobras from which venom
is extracted every ten days. The
snakes are forcibly fed with egg flip
through a tube.
The venom is dried over lime and
then dissolved in salt solution. In
creasing doses are injected in horse
until at the end of two years the ami
NAL can stand dose 200 times the
original one and is quite immune
from the cobra poison.
The serum from the blood Of this
particular horse is an antidote and Is
absolutely effective if injected in time.
Many lives have been saved by its use.
However, each bite requires an anti
dote made from the venom of the same
sort of snake that inflicted the bite.

Peruvian indians Greatest Viewers.

Peruvian Indians Greatest Weavers.
The ancient Indians of Peru are now
considered the worlds greatest weav-
ers. This noteworthy revelation in the
history of textile art is the result OF
the critical examination of many rlen
and beautiful tapestries and other fab
RIGS executed by the gifted ancient In
dian population of Peru. Though bur-
led three centuries or more in the
sandy desert after being made with
primitive hand looms and other weav-
ing implements, these wonderful fab
RIGS are now found to be superior TO
those turned out by the AUTOMATIC
looms of the great mills of today.
