CURE FOR S Latest Discovery of S I man From the Wa Science has a new discovery to an nounce to a grateful world. It is a sure cure for snake bite?the specific ' so long sought in vain. The honor of the achievement belongs to Dr. A. Calmette, of the Pasteur Institute at Lille, France. He has succeeded in obtaining as anti-toxin by inoculating horses with progressive doses of the poison of the most deadly serpents, such as the cobra. Having at length rendered the animals proof against the venom, even in large quantities, he draws from them the serum which he calls "anti-venom." This fluid, in jected into the body of a person bitten by any kind of snake, will save life if there has not been too much delay. Its efficacy has already been proved by trials with human patients, and Dr. Calmette announces his readiness to furnish it in small bottles free of charge to applicants anywhere in the world. The anti-venom is obtained just like the scrum for curing diphtheria. Co bra poison is preferred for use in the work, because it is one of the most active of snake poisons.' At the same time it provoked less loeal bleeding and less * swelling about the wound made by the hypodermic syringe. The venom is injected beneath the skin of the horse, behind the shoulder. At first the doses are very small, admin istered at intervals of four or five hours. This is kept up, gradually in creasing the doses, until the animal is able to endure an amount which would kill 250 large rats. The quantity re quired to kill a rat is taken as a sort of unit of measurement, because most of Dr. Calmette's experiments were at the expense of long-tailed rodents, kept alive-in cages and subjected to injections of snake poison in varying quantities. The horse is now con sidered completely immune, but to reach this result requires continuous treatment for six months, owing to the -difficulty of accustoming the heast to the powerful venom, There exists in the venom of snakes an ingredient not well understood, which has the special effect of inflam ing the wound. This is neutralized by heating the poison that is to be used for injections. With each inoc ulation the local symptoms, swelling and bleeding, become less noticeable. No fever follows, hut the horse is restless, refuses food, sweats abund antly, and breathes in a labored way. Much care must"be taken not to ad minister a dose that exceeds the prop er limit even by a trifle, else the ani mal will be seized with colic and die. Finally the horse is inocculated with the venoms of several other species of deadly serpents. It is now in condi tion for service as a producer of the new remedy, but it must first be prov ed by drawing off some of its blood and trying the serum on rats and rab bits. If the rats and rabbits thus treated resist injections of snake poi son?that is, do not die from their effects?the proposition is demonstra ted. The anti-venom is prepared for medical use in a very simple fashion. Blood is drawn from the immunized horse into a vessel, where it is per mitted to settle. The red corpuscles sink to the bottom, and later the wa tery part of serum is drawn off from the top. The latter part is put in little bottles enclosed for safety in blocks of wood. Each bottle is mark ed with the date of preparation, and the contents are guaranteed to retain the anti-toxic power for one year. After that time the stuff is apt to lose some of its efficacy. There is now at the Pasteur Institute a suffi cient number of horses immunized and in course of immunization to re spond to the needs of the world for ante-venom. Already the serum is being shipped to Australia, where there are very many deadly serpents, and to India, where, according to Governmeat statistics, 22,000 persons die annually of snake bite, the eobra being responsible for most of the deaths. It is found necessary to keep on dosing the immunized horses with fresh injections of venom, lest the serum they furnish lose its quality. The anti-venom is efficient against the poisons of all species of deadly ser pents that are common in the Old and New World. The contents of every bottle sent out from the laboratory at Lille have been proved for the cobra, the tiger snake, the asp, the rattle snake, the viper and the fer-de-lance. Dr. Calmette requires large quantities of venom to maintain the immunity of his horses, and all persons who arc in the way of obtaining snake poison of any kind are earnestly requested to contribute and forward it to him. There is very little trouble in getting venom from serpents, living or dead. The doctor himself has quite a large collection of live snakes in his labora tory, including nearly all of the very dangerous species. He keeps these snakes in wire cages, which'are lined with glass to prevent NAKE BITES. icienoe'for Saving Hu Life. shington Post. the reptiles from injuring their heads. At the top of each such hoi is an opening big enough to admit conveni ently a short stick, with a noose of leather on the end. With this instru ment the serpent is seized by the neck, and, taking care not to hurt it, the animal is laid upon a table and held firmly. Between its' jaws is thrust the edge of a little glass sau cer, which it bites fiercely. The re sult is an injection of venom into the saucer. This a yellowish, transpar ent, sticky fluid, without smell or taste. It is soluble in water, and if shaken becomes frothy. Dissolved in alcohol or glycerine it preserves its properties for any length of time. Dried it will remain unaltered for an indefinite period. On this account it is prudent to handle with care fangs that have been removed from the jaws of deadly snakes, no matter how old they are. Dr. Calmette keeps a stock on hand of venoms of many kind of snakes, dried or in solutions of glycerine. His cabinet of preserved poisons in cludes those of the American rattle snake, the dreaded copperhead, the jaracara of the valleys of the Orinoco and Amazon, and the surucu of the same region, whose bite kills a cow in two hours ; also the cobra and kriat of India, the asp of Cleopatra, the hor ned viper of Egypt, the tiger snake and death adder of Australia, and the famed fer-de-lance, which kills from 60 to 80 persons annually in Martin que, the last species peculiar *o Mar tinque, St. Lucie, and the neighbor ing islands of St. Vincent. But so far as possible the Doctor employs venom from living serpents, and healthy specimens of the cobra, rat tlesnake, asp, fer-de-lance, horned viper, and other species are kept as captives. It is observed that the poisons of different snakes vary much in quality. Snake venom will stand boiling for a long time without losing its proper ties. It dries like gum or varnish. The first chemical analysis of it was made by Prince Lucien Bonaparte in 1843, who called the supposed active principle "vip?rine." Subsequent in vestigation has proved that it is a very complex albuminoid compound. Dr. Calmette gets the poison from dead serpents by dissecting out the glands from each aide of the upper jaw, just under the skin and behind the eyes. These glands ate made to yield the poison which they contain by^ pressure. Finally, the venom is evaporated and put in a glass tube, which is sealed at both ends to keep out the air. One interesting fact dis- , covered is that the blood of snakes is poisonous. The supposition is that it actually contains the principles which are concentrated in the secretion of the venom glands. , Many lots of scorpions have been shipped from Tunis and Cairo to Dr. Calmette, who desired to study their poison and compare it with that of snakes. The method he adopted was to cut oft" the last segment of each scorpion's tail and mash it in a conical glass together with a little distilled water. Then he filtered the mixture aud evaporated the resulting solution. In this way he got forty-six milli grammes of dry extract from twenty eight scorpions. One-twentieth of a milligramme of the extract killed a mouse in two hours, the notable symptoms being convulsive spasms, paralysis, and difficulty in breathing. These symptoms corresponded closely to those of snake poisoning. Immun ized mice were not affected by the scorpion venom. In the north of Africa scorpion bites are very serious, and sometimes fatal. Accordingly, it is suggested that persons bitten by scorpions may find the anti-venom a cure. For a long time it has been imagiucd that the poison of the bee was probably comparable in power to that of the rattlesnake, inasmuch as so small a quantity as the insect is armed with produces such distressing effects. One of the straugest facts in nature is the immunity of cirtain species of mammals from poison by snake venom. Hedgehogs do not seem to be injured by it : pigs often eat deadly serpents, and the little mongoose, hardly larger than a big squirrel, does not hesitate to attack the most dangerous snakes. Dr. Calmette tried a do.-e of cobra venom on a hog, and the animal did j not suffer. Ho imported six mon gooses from Guadabnipe. One of I them he pat in a box together with :i cobra six feet long. The cobra at : tacked the mongoose at once but the latter dodged, ami presently grabbed ; tin* head of the snake between its teeth aud broke its neck The Doctor inoculated a mongoose with four times tin.- mortal dose I'm- a rat. and to another he gave a six.fold injection. The former showed no effects, while the latter was sick only two days. A ! third mongoose received a dose eight i times mortal for a rat. and died in i twelve hours. Thus it appears that ! mongooses are not entirely proof I against snake poison, though they are I able to endure big doses of it. I The bite of a deadly snake is not very painful ; it is nearly always fol lowed by a numbness of the part bit ten. This spreads through the body, and fainting and great weakness en sue. When the dose of poison is large breathing becomes difficult and the tongue swells. Finally comes coma and death, which, by some au thorities, is believed to be caused by gastro-inteslinal apoplexy, combined with paralysis of the nervous system. If a vein is penetrated by the ser pent's tooth and a quantity of venom injected directly into the blood stream, the motor nerve batteries are over powered, and death is almost immedi ate. In India cobra bites are fatal in about 35 per cent, of all cases. The venom is so rapidly diffused that there is no use whatever in local treatment, such as cauterizing the wound. Al cohol in small quantities is a help, keeping up the vitality, but it is in no sense an antidote, and in large amounts it helps the poison to do its work. Dr. Calmette inoculated many kinds of animals with venom of graduated intensity. A monkey, having receiv ed a fatal dose, showed lassitude ; then it staggered about and began to vomit. It had trouble to breathe, and put its hand to its month as if chok ing. Birds exhibited similar phe nomena, beating their wings with con vulsive spasms. Frogs, thanks to skin breathing, seem to succumb very slowly. One of them survived for j thirty hours a dose that would have killed a rat in ten minutes. Lizards and chameleons are very sensitive to the poison. Non-venomous snakes enjoy a partial immunity, enduring J pretty big doses. Venomous serpents, on the other hand, show no effects from enormous doses of the venom of their own species. Fishes die slowly, surviving five hours a dose that would kill a pigeon in five minutes. A rat is killed instantly by introducing into the marginal vein of the ear one-tenth of a milligramme of cobra poison. The anti-venom will cure a human being bitten by the most dangerous snake if the poison has not gone too far. It must be used as quickly as possible after the bite, and no time is to be lost. Usually the serum will get in its work if administered within an hour and a half after the injury is received ; grown persons rarely suc cumb in less than three hours. The fluid should be injected beneath the skin of the side. Also injections of hypochloride of lime should be made in the track of the wound and in three or four places around it, so as to neu-1 tral-ze the venom which has not been absorbed. Then the patient should drink some coffee or tea and be cover ed up for a sweat. Alcohol and am monia arc to be avoided, and the wound is not to be cauterized. It is likely that in future hospitals and dispensaries generally will keep a small stock of anti-venom on hand for use in emergencies, care being taken that it shall always be fresh. This remark applies more particularly to countries like India and Australia, where deadly serpents are numerous. In India there is a caste of persons who make a special business of keep ing and selling snakes. They do not juggle with them, however. The snake jugglers or charmers belong to an entirely different caste, calling themselves Sangis. Sometimes the jugglers render the serpents harmless by cutting out their poison glands, but it is certain that many of them take no such precaution. Their abili ty to manage the cobra and other snakes with comparative safety is due chiefly to acquaintance with the char acter and ways of the reptiles. Nev ertheless they are occasionally bitten and lose their lives. The only way to render a venomous snake harmless is by extirpating its poison glands. If the fangs are pulled out merely the next two teeth ?ehind move forward within a few days and establish con nection with the glands, ? A new "Art of Love" is beiug compiled by a modern Ovid, who lays down this bit of advice : "A man who calls on a girl whose preference for him is marked, and who attempts to outstay the other fellow, is a fool who hazards his prospects by his per sistency. If he is pretty sure of her, he should withdraw early, apparently leaving the field in possession of his rival. But the rival won't have a nice time. Oh, no. The girl will blame him for the unaccounted-for exit of the favored one ; things will be all right the next time they meet, but there will be only snubs for the rival. ? it is not often that a physician recommends a patent medicine : when he does, yon may know thai it is a good "ne.

LARGEST COTTON RANCH Is in Mexico and Corel's 175 Square Miles. What is probably the largest indi vidual cotton plantation in the world is located in the republic of Mexico within the Tiahualilocuerica or cotton belt that lies between the watershed of the Rio Grande and the Rolson de Mapimi. There are 175 square miles under cultivation covered with the snowy blossoms for miles. In 1889 a project was formulated for carrying a ditch across the desert to the head of the Tiahualilo cuenca and converting the whole area into a huge hacienda. Juan Llamedo, a Spanish capitalist of Mexico City, undertook the enterprise in which he was aided by the Federal government of Mexico. The preliminary survey showed that the lowest level of the basin to be irrigated was about 100 feet behw the point on the river Nazas, which it was proposed to dam ; that the main canal would require a development of 39 miles and that the slope of the lands within the basin was such that about 175 square miles out of the 210 com posing the basin could be advantage ously irrigated. Since then by the aid of modern engineering and Ameri can machinery 175 square miles have been placed under cultivation. This required money and men and a high degree of engineering capability. The plan of irrigating was entrusted by Mr. Llamedo to Jose Farjas, a Span ish engineer. An estate of 20,000 acres lying on the river Nazas and controlling the water supply was pur chased, and rip-rap was thrown across the river at a point where it is about 1,500 feet wide at the flood. This constituted a dam. and from the dam the line of the main canal was traced to the entrance of the Tiahualilo basin, 39 miles. The canal was made 72 feet deep, with a grade of from 18 inches to three feet to the mile, ex cept as to one particular section. This canal terminated in a distribu ting tank to the entrance of the irriga ble area, from whence it bifurcated, one arm clasping the western side of the basin and the other the eastern, and both having the same average grade. One of them was 15 miles in length, 30 feet wide at the bottom, and with a depth of 5 feet, while the other sub-canal was 13 miles in length, with a width of 3G feet at the bottom and a depth of 6 feet. Transverse ditches, at right angles to the side braaches, were then laid out and all the land thus laid open to irrigation was set out in blocks of uniform size, each containing a Mexi can sitio, a conventional area measur ing nearly 4,500 acres. The total ditching called for under the plan in cluded the main canal of 39 miles, the first and second branch canals, respec tively, of 15 and 13 miles ; 29 miles of transverse canals, 50 miles of parallel ditches, and 400 miles of distributing ditches. Total excavation called for was about 3,700.000 cubic yards for the main canal, and for all other canals and ditches on the first section about 3,400,000 cubic yards. The first sec tion involved 90 square miles. From 2,000 to 3,000 peons were employed on the work, and a little over a year was occupied in digging the main canal. The most approved agricul tural implements and utensils had been imported in ,ad\ance from the United States. I'pon the completion of the ditches each of the sijbios was placed under the management of an administrator, and the general admin istration was located on the hacienda of Zaragoza, some eight -miles down the basin from the distributing tank, and nearly in the center, being prepar ed for cultivation. Extensive build ings were also erected, consisting of a steam cotton gin and oil mill for?hand ling the cotton seed oil, a soap factory for utilizing the oil product ; a cotton press and an electric light plant. Such is a sketch of the big cotton fields in Durango. made possible by modern irrigation engineering. The rain fall in the Bolson dc Mapimi is confined to a few days of heavy show ers about the beginning of June aud the beginning of December. Hut up in the mountains of Durango, where the Nazas is born, the rain fall at the same season is heavy and protracted, resulting in high water in the river, which lasts several weeks at a time, and it is during these freshets that the lands of the Nazas district, and only then, receive any water benefit. In the Tiahualilo basin a week or ten days of irrigation is all that is needed in 'Jie course of a year, the water soaking quickly and easily through the almost impalpable silt, and the hot sun forming a protective crust that checks evaporation and re tains the moisture in the subsoil. Owinji to their long roots, cotton plants strictly require irrigation only oik.very other year, although corn and wheat inusl receive it at each planting. Cotton fields of the Tiahu alilo belt, after the spring irrigation, icscihblc tracks (if new-born rye. so inodcsl are they in their sizeof plants, bul the same fields after the fall irri gation, when they have blossomed in snowy while, show cotton plants so tall as almost, to conceal from sight a man on horseback. It is said that the cotton during those few months can almost be seen to grow. At all events, the finest cotton in the coun try is now being produced upon tracts of land, league wide, which only a few years ago were deserts of sand. The company, during the cotton crop season, run their gins and presses and oil mills day and night, and keep up a large electric light plant for that purpose. The products of the hacien da are shipped direct from the station of Zaragoza ; the cotton, wheat, corn and soap being marketed in this re public, and the oil cake being shipped to the United States. Most of the machinery and implements employed are of American origin, and their ag gregate is very large, there being at present some 7,000 American plows of different types upon the estate. A branch line, recently constructed from the Mexican International Rail road at Matamoras across the plains of the central Tiahualilo property, has made it possible to extend cultivation to the remainder of the basin, and it is estimated that by the end of 1899 nearly 200 square miles will be under ditch and producing. ?

This man had sent his son to college, where the young man excelled in musical accomplishments. In course of time he announced to his father his intention to become a mu sician. The father objected vehemently. The son begged, and at last was affect ed to tears, declaring that he should never be happy in any other calling. This melted the father's heart, and he exclaimed : "All right, do as you like?but don't you ever come around grinding your organ in front of my house !" ? The new barn recently completed for Colonel Blees, Macon's millionaire, is one of the most expensive build ings in north Missouri, and undoubt edly the finest barn in the State out side the largest cities. More than 80,000 feet of the best lumber that could be procured was used in its con struction. The roof required 5G,000 shingles, and more than 22,000 feet of ceiling lumber and nearly 30,000 feet of weatherboarding were used. The inside is finished with hard pine and is oiled and varnished, the floor space is nearly all covered with granitoid pavement, and the entire building is heated with steam and supplied with all modern conveniences.?Kansas City Journal. ?
