According to the original plans.
about 10000 houses were to be built,
but the check on building operations
imposed by the ministry of health in

of economy, has somewhat restricted
the development of the project. IN

Test For Poisonous Snakes

If you are travelling in a reptile-ir-
tested region always lay in a good
supply of chewing tobacco, and il
bitten by a poisonous snake chew the
tobacco and swallow the juice until
You arc sick at the stomach. / have
seen several saved from death by
snake-bite in this way. Snuff would
be good also: and If you do not care
to cat it, make a poultice with water
and place on the pit of the stomach.
The tobacco is the best all-over-the-
country antidote that can be used
for first aid in such cases.
One good test to try on a snake to
see if it is poisonous is to hold itS
head with a forked stick and spit
tobacco juice into it's mouth. If :ne
snake is of a poisonous species 1t will
die shortly in great commissions; x
not poisonous species the tobacco
will not affect it very much. I've
tested this out on rattlers. copper
heads and water moccasins; also on
king, grass, coach whips and others.
The first three died In few minutes.
while the others were not bothered.

Photography Aid to History

The value of photography to
history is almost as great as to
SCIENCE. 1t has made the historian
of modern times n scientist, or vat
least has given him the opportunity
to become one. The Great War was
the first to be fully photographed,
the first in which real battles are
depicted. Did you ever look over the
volumes of Harper's Weekly during
the Civil War? Then you remember
the big double-page pictures, drawn
from few field sketches and then
patiently, extensively and inaccur-
ately carved on wood. but neverthe-
less an unprecedented achievement
in historical verify. Brady's proto-
graphs of Civil War parsonage and
places taken for the Government
were the first attempts in this field.
The scenes of the recent war are
almost as familiar to those who stay
cd at home as to those who served
over there. These pictures will
never lose their value and can never
be replaced-Edwin E. Slosson in the
Worlds Work.
