other man, the question Of woman's

wanting to know how much ma

Ssnake venom is still a mystery. The

yet discovered it. Speculation in
clines to the belief that the stomach
and kidneys are the principal agents,
and there also is some evidence that
perspiration carries off some of the
poison.

Throo Deadly Snakes

The three varieties Of venomous
snakes peculiar to America arc tho
rattler, tho copperhead and tho cot
ton-mouthed water moccasin. There
are many snakes commonly called
water moccasins and held in great
fear, but the only poisonous mocca-
sin Is the one whose home is in the
South and which Is called cotton
mouthed because Of the white bor-
ders to its mouth and the white
throat 1t exhibits when its mouth Is
open.
Besides these, there aro two varie-
,'es Of poisonous snakes In America.
The coral snake and tho harlequin,
that are allied to tho cobra Of the
Eastern Hemisphere. Like the East
ern poisonous snakes, their heads are
not distinct from the body. but seem
merely continuation Of the body, as
With the harmless snakes. Neither
TO they have the pit Of tho distinc-
lively American snakes. But they
have the elliptical eyes. The way
they have to be recognized Is by their
markings. Fortunately, their distrt-
button is not Wide and they are COM
paratively rare. They are a South
ern snake.
In the Southern states al varieties
OF American venomous snakes arc
found, and 1t is essential TO know In

Strychnine an Antidote

The best antidote for snake poi
son easily accessible is strychnine.
Although venomous serpents and
their poison have been a subject of
study and investigation for hun
dreds of years, it was not until 1888
that the strychnine discovery was
made. In that year DR.. A. Mueller,
of Yackandandah, Victoria, until
then an obscure Australian general
medical practitioner, claimed that
he had proved strychnine to be the
specific antidote for snake poison,
and the success Of the treatment has
since then brought it general recog-
milton.
The theory Is that snake venom

in the latter half Of tho
last century was General Booth, the
founder and the inspiring genius Of
the mighty movement for the uplift-
ing OF the poor and needy, the out
cast and criminal, which Is embodied
In the organization Of the Salvation
Army. Love for mankind was the
handspring Of his public life and
love passionate. devoted and tender
for the wife Of his choice was one
OF the overmastering influences Of
his private life, says a writer in "The
London Telegraph"
The letters which passed between
them during their courtship and the
long years Of their married happi-
ness possess the most intense hu-
man interest, and to them readers

Salvation Army" by Harold Beg

have just published, will turn again

William Booth first met Catherine
Mumford.

They fell In love at first sight,

There Are Few Dangerous Rep
tiles To Be Found i'm This
Part of America
By Fred B. Pimey


4 LADY visiting the reptile
~ house Of the Bronx Zoo last
Tuesday saw John Tourney,
the head keeper, open one of the
cages and take out a splendid speci-
men Of the king snake, which he
handled affectionately and somewhat
carelessly The lady crossed her
self.
One may suppose that had the
lady met the king snake in his ma
tive haunts in Florida she would
have done one of three things. She
would have tainted. she would have
screamed and fed. or she would have
killed the loathsome creature. And
II she had done the latter she would
have killed one of mans best friends,
for tho king snake is non-poisonous,
gentle and kindly, and the deadly en-
amy Of the rattlesnake.
Tho snakes to know and kill on
dght are the venomous snakes. The
others should be encouraged. for
many Of them arc beautiful, while
almost without exception they are
valuable adjuncts to mans work in
the field and forest. Their prey is
tho destructive rodents that do so
much damage to the farmers crops
and the insects that kill the trees
and vegetation.
Few Poisonous Snakes Hero
Vencmous snakes, ON tho other
hand, should be exterminated with
out mercy. There is no good that
they accomplish that cannot be done
as well by the harmless snakes,
while they are, perhaps, the most
deadly Of all living things. There
are records Of men having died in
eight minutes from the bite Of q
rattler and in two minutes from the
bite Of a cobra. The thing to do,
therefore, Is to learn to know the
poison snakes at sight, and this is
not difficult In this country, as there
are few varieties Of poison snakes
in North America, though there are
many species In some of the vari-
cites. Yet there Is a distinctive fea-
ture Of the poison snakes peculiar to
America that makes all the species
of the several varieties recognizable
from the harmless snakes.
This feature Is the fiat, angular
head that is distinct from the body.
Sometimes the shape of the head cor
responds roughly to a triangle, and
sometimes it Is more nearly square,
but the separation Of the head from
the body is always plainly marked by
the greater width Of the head at the
junction with the body, so that the
head plainly projects on either side.
Another popularity Of the poison
Gus snake is In the shape Of the eye.
The harmless snake has a circular
eye, while the eye Of the venomous
snake Is smaller and elliptical, like a
cats eye. A third feature Is one
which has given all the varieties the
common name Of "pit vipers." This
Is small, circular pit on each side
Of the upper jaw between the eye
and the nostril. The largest, most
important and most to be dreaded
family Of the venomous. snakes OF
America Is armed with the rattle
which has given it It's name ant
which it invariably sounds before Il
strikes.

Beware of Whisky


Beware of Whisky
The efficacy Of whisky or brandy
in cases Of snake bite is due to its
stimulating effect on the nervous
system, and the reasons such large
quantities of whisky can be drunk
is that it takes great quantities. to
overcome the powerful depressing
influence of the snake venom. But
intoxication, instead Of helping the
cure, helps the poison, for the alcohol
taken in excess depresses instead of
stimulates the vital functions. Also,
alcohol injected locally or intrave-
nously seems to add to the virulence
Of the poison.
The net result Of the hundreds
OF years given to the study Of snake
poison seems to be that the antidote
Is another poison that will affect the
nervous system in manner counter
to that Of the snake poison, and
given this opportunity the body will
in some way, Of which there is as
yet no understanding and little idea,
throw off the snake poison without
any i'll effects and will also dispose
Of the counter poison without III eff
fects.
Harmless snakes battle success
fully with the poisonous varieties be-
cause the snakes blood contains the
same poison that is carried by the
venom Animals inoculated with the
blood Of many harmless snakes will
die with all the symptoms Of rattle
snake poison. Harmless snakes can,
thus, battle the poisonous snakes
immune from their only weapon,
poison. DR.. Vital Brazil, in his book
on snake poisoning, describes as fol-
lows fight between a mussurana, a
small poisonous snake of Bra
I'll, aHu JdrdfdCd.
A Jungle Battle
"The mussurana is extended on
the earth awaiting his prey; his
beautiful body, covered with great
scales, comforts itself slightly. 1t is
a beautiful serpent, proud Of his dig
nifty, his work and his worth. A
jararaca appears and the two ser
pents begin to flex themselves, un-
dulating slowly in large spirals,
moving rs though to escape some
sudden and violent shock, some use
less emotion.
II have never seen a tragedy un-
roll itself in such an elegant and
harmonious fashion.
"The venomous serpent pressed
his enemy. The delicate tongue
shot out and touched lightly the
body Of the other as he prepared
for the assault. The mussurana also
watched his opponent, but his eyes,
accustomed to the dark shadows.
