work on the completed retaining
wall should be paid
In his final report on the wall Mr.
FarnswCrth pointed out that more
concrete was used than called for in
the contract, due to the necessity of
deepened footings and more excava-
ton than first contemplated for the
base Because of this condition the
length of the wall was reduced thirty.

hitting him to proceed regardless OF
anything the traction company may

Sewers A La League.
Christ Hanson, who owns some lots
on Fifth avenue in tho Van Buren,
street district, wanted to know what
the city could do to furnish him a
sewer. The debate subsequent to
this interrogation almost ran the gam
ut from the Russo Japanese peace
treaty to the disarmament conference
and ended with the allconsuming
and weighty topic being PLACED in
the hands Of Commissioner Dougher-
ty to settle.
The council recommended that
while concrete was being allowed to
set on Center street, all traffic
across the rails for distance Of two
blocks be suspended by the local and
interurban street car companies. This
means passengers viii be forced to
transfer until such time as the en-
gineer says it is safe to use the rails
without damaging the pavement.

( the state should act to force the com
pany to remove it. The petition,
which may require couple Of years
before being finally disposed Of, will
not interfere with the new structure

NO SNAKE QUITE HARMLESS
French Biologists, Through Expert
n1cnts, Have Proved That Blood
and Saliva Produce Toxic Efeeta.

Only snakes with poison fangs have
been regarded as dangerous. but GER
tain French biologists, especially Dr.
@. and Madame Mnrie phisaiix, have
found reasons for believing That the
blood and saliva Of all serpenis may
produce toxic effects. The venomoua
action has been demonstrated by ex-
periments on birds, guinea pigs, ro-
dents, and lizards, with the secretion
Of the parotid glands of certain co
lubers, common and so-called hsrm-
less snakes, and with the blood Of
snakes Of THIS order that do not have
parotid glands. The effects were anal
ogous to those from the secretion Of
the poison glands OF cobras, vipers
and rattlesnakes. In batrachians two
kinds of venom are found. Mucous
venom, from the mucous glands ex-
isting chiefly on the abdomen, ex-
erts paralyzing action, and when In
jected into the veins produces stuDor.
with sudden stopping OF respiration.
Two rabbits were killed BY water in
which common edible green frog
had been washed. Granular venom,
from the larger granular glands ex-
listing only on the back, is a very ae-
tive poison in some species, and gives
rise 10 such symptoms as terror hal.
lucination, vomiting and conyulslons.
