DEADLY SNAKES MADE STUDY
"Garden of Serpents," in Brazil, Is
Maintained'for the Production

Brazil's "arden of serbeits" Is one
Of tile most interesting, though to
some, repulsive sights In the world,
and Is minnittined purely for scientifle
purposes. It is located at Jiutanta,
razil, nd occllies IIi Ill iome 700
acres. Hero are tihe laboratorIes which
produce seruis for the cure and pre
vention of tile effeels of snake bites.
The stiakes used in preparing thoa
scrumls aire kept ilt a sniltli ptiik, con
taining numerous dome-shaped shel
ters, which is surrounded by a wall
and at ditch filled with water. Other
speclieis are kept in a similar park

venomous serpenits, but the slightest
noise alarms the peaceful and timid
reptiles, which attack only those per
sons and anlinals that tread oin them
or destroy their lairs. The principal
familles aire the Iothrops mnd the Cro
tales, or rattlesnakes. The lIothrops'
veloin deconmposes the blood and pro
duces internal hemorrhage, with in
tense cottgestioni of the liver, kidneys
and brain, while the veiom of the Cro
tiles paralyzes tile respiriation, circu
lationi and vision, l111 usually causes
denth within twenty-four hours. Each
venom requires its special antidote.
The laboratory heads prepare a serum
for each, alnd also i polyvatlent, or com

When the species of the attacking
snake Is unknowni. The serlums are ob

8erims for pest, dipitheria and
tetanus also are pro(ced by the
usual Imethods.
Supreme Court Changes.
There is not i single imember of the
Supreme court of President Hliarrison's
day now serving on the bench. Twenty
six years is not a long time for con
tinuity of service in the lower courts.
There are hiundreds of judges appoint
ed at tile age of thirty-five who are
still in full muental vigor at seventy,
and not a few cases of this kind are
to le found lin the lower federal and
state courts. Even Chief Justice
White, however, Is able to point to a
judicial record of only twenty-six
years. iHe was appointed by Cleveland
in February, 1894, and til he members
with whom hie was associated ait thati

SUGGESTION FOR GOOD ROAD
Casy Way to Put Roof on Dirt Road Is
to Keep It Draggcd After Drain
ing and Dragging.
A corresinandont of anl veasternar
ulnitural papier suggests 11111t, IlsIiuch
as it Is water which makes had roads,
the easy way to hiive good roads is to
1'lat i roof over thei. There Is this
to ie si(i fot' his suggestion, that i' a
ltoif werie put over our country roads,
it would not only keep water off of it,
but would give us a nice, -shady drive
dtrin g the six months of the year when
wo would appreciate it. The trouble
is tIhat the cost of putting i) such at
roof as he has In mind, and nnintalin
Ing It, would far exceed the cost of
1111king a retilly first-class hard-sur
flced road, which would need no roof.
The easy way to put a roof over the
dirt roni Is to keep it properly dragged
after it hils beenl drined and graded,
Saiys Wallace's Farmer. Water is the
luost accomtiodating thing In the
world. It will run11 off If you will give
it tillf i einance. 1). WarI -d King, ilte
potlet of tht splil-iog drag, put the
