HARD TO EXPLAIN POISONING
Chemists Unable to Tell Why Bites Of

Scientists in Great Britain have
been greatly interested in the recent

study is being made of the effects of
bites from various animals. Inasmuch
as the monkey is what is known as n

that the bite of such nm animal should
produce the fatal poisoning of hui
man being.

the malignancy OF nm animals bite

northeast wind, endangering dwellings
across the street. Second and third
alarms, bringing Fire Commissioner
