HARD TO EXPLAIN POISONING
Scientists Unable to Tell Why Bites OF
Some Animals Are Fatal and
Others Innocuous.

Scientists in Great Britain have
been greatly interested in the recent
case of monkey bite resulting in the
death OF the king Of Greece, says a
London dispatch. The result is that
a study is being made of the effects of
bites from various animals. Inasmuch
as the monkey is what is known as a
"clean feeder" it seems extraordinary
that the bite of such an animal should
produce the fatal poisoning of a hui
man being.
1t does not, however, appear that
the malignancy of an animals bite
can be measured by what it feeds
upon. A dog is a carniyorous crea-
ture, yet its bite seldom produces seri-
Gus results, while on the other nand

quently results In poisoning. Only a
few weeks ago a woman died from
being bitten by donkey, while a man
lost a hand through being nipped on
the thumb by a horse.

most beautiful and intensely cultivat-

When Rome. however, was obliged
to resign her position as "the mistress

abandoned and gradually became a
marshy, malaria-infected desert in

Now. however, the law which was
recently passed, decreeing that any
one who does not cultivate his land
to the utmost of its capacity is liable
to have the land confiscated, is he
ginning to have its effects. Prince
Aldobrandini has engaged . company
to reclaim a huge estate Of several
thousands of acres. which he owns in
the 'campagna."
The work already has begun and
an experimental station has been set
up at Ostia The land was first of
all drained and then arrangements
were made to obtain water from the
Tiber for irrigation. Electric tractors
to draw the plows were then bought
and various kinds of fruit, vegetables
ard cereals were cultivated in order
to find out how fertile the land is and
what kind of crop 1t is most adapted
for

The results were beyond the wild
est hopes of any of the promoters OF
the company. The land, after lying
idle for centuries, seems to have
stored up its fertility throughout al,
that time and now yields crop upon
crop with unstinting hand.
An attempt has even been made to
grow cotton here and the experiment
has been successful, but how success
full it has been impossible to deter

the worst quality obtainable. This
year. however, 1t Is proposed to plant
American or Egyptian cotton. SO hap

soon work may be begun for the total
retaining of the whole of the "cam-

with what she probably regarded as
the proper attitude to assume when
good music is played. After each num-

and asked him If the orchestra played
any music by request. She was in
formed that it did.
