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

Scientists In Great Britain have
been greatly Interested In the recent
case Of n monkey bite resulting In Il e
death Of the king of Greece, says Il
London dispatch. The result is that
q study is being made Of the effects of
bites from various animals. Inasmuch
as the monkey Is what is known az u
"clean feeder" 1t seems extraordinary
that the bite of such an animal should
produce the fatal poisoning of a hu-
man being.
II does not, however. appear That
the malignaucy of an animals bite
can be measured by what 1t feeds
upon. A dog is carnivUrous crea-
ture, yet fits bite seldom produces seri.
GUS results. while on the other hand
The bite Of horse or donkey fire.
Quently results In poisoning, Only a

being bitten by donkey, while a man
lost a hand through being nipped on

the City of New York in it's motion to
rescind the order of the old Public
Service Commission granting the New
York Telephone Company a temporary
% per cent increase in rates sufficient
to warrant granting the city's request
at the present time.
This announcement was made yes-
terday by William A. Prendergast,
chairman, at the opening of che davis
session of the hearing on the city's mo-
ton. AS result of the announcement
the temporary increase in rates will
remain in effect. All members of the
board were present at yesterdays meet
ing. The hearing will be continued
next week.
"The commission" said Chairman
Prendergast, does not consider that
the evidence submitted by the city is
OF sufficiently conclusive character to
warrant the commission in granting
the city's motion to rescind the order r
of March II, 1921. Neither does the
commission at this time deny that mo-
tion. The commission will take into
consideration the evidence so far sub
mltted in support of the motion in con-
nection with such further facts as the
committees own investigation will pro-
vide"
1t is expected that the telephone COM
pany will submit to the commission
