His labor- an 1 tory is a curious and somewhat un- hi canny place and one from which those is with unsteady nerves instisativelY re- fo coll. The apparatus for extracting the an venom is a most lngenious and yet a iF very simple one. A bit of chamois is in tied over the top ot a funnel which leads to a bottle. ]Pverything is se cured very firmly. The snake is eaught by the back of the neck and placed "5 lose to this chamois. He strikes his I Sangs through it, when tiny Jets of E cengm are thrown *,om the fangs upon the glass sides Qf the bottle, trickling thence into the bottle. Againa and again the snake is made to strike. If b necessary, other snakes of the same species are used until a sulcientlit mrount of the, venom is collected. The W relative deadly qualities of the venom of snakes, have also been the subject of experiments. It appears that the CS diamond-back rattlesnake is the most to be dreaded. The next in order is SF the banded rattlesnake, followed by the copperhead and the water moceasin or cottonmouth. The poison machinery o of the snake consists of a pair of nee- d die-pointed fangs, which, when the a creature is at rest, are folded back in the root of the mouth. Wthen it be comes angry, these fangs are thrown forward, and in the act of strtkting a tiny jet ot poison is thrown from B each. The poison is a thin,L yellow fluid, which, upon exposure, decom-I pose very rapidly. Snake poison, ift kept from the air or dried, retains its I full force for many years. A Hasunted Hous e.

Just how tra- and why it kills has but yet been de llo termined through a series of experi well ments made by scientists. The follow sing ing description is unquesMoaably the ide. best and most lucid of any that has been given to the public: "The venom 0er may be roughly separated into two r be parts-q4pe acting upon the blood, and rt the other upon the nerves. When in Sg S jected it immediately begins to create oil, terrible destruction in the blood ves into sels, the walls of the veins are eaten till away and an Anternal hemorrhage d* takes place. While this is going on a co of portion of the venom is attacking the riter nerves. paitioularly susceptible to its labl ravages is the 'vasemotor' system, a i its nerve center which controls the mus it- cles of respiration.

There is the' Parisian salon, Heine smiling over at Bellini; the fair lady, ant.sed with the maltro's curls, delicately destroying them with hiS cane. Not one of them thought that .n fourteen days' time poor Bellini, curls and all, would be under the Sground at Pere Lachaise. Then ap pears a severer apartment; a short, muscular man there, square-Jawed and angry-eyed, as Cherublni turns upon him half bitterly: "Citoyen General, I ' perceive that,you love only that mu e sic which does not prevent you from ý thinking of your politics." And the Ic Italian moves away, as if adding uh Sder his breath, "Why is this man not i Midas-eared?" For that little, stout 8 man, Napoleon, had alone 'mid ap plauding Paris, belittled his music. And now rises a room in Florence, a t litter of books and papers. De Mus set writing, George Sand dictating. It of is Chopin's doing-he has reminded us s of them. But now he appears himself, an his piano before him,dreaming through his finger tips and making more 'h dreams for his crouching listener, the same George Sand. The tragedy and <d comedy of those two lives --they make ue s weep and smile by turns. The LO: sculptured muse on a composer's tomb e. sits mourning, lyre in hand. But it is all past now, that sorrowing tihe. the For when Chopin died, did he not leave us his better angel? The musi cian's soul of him, does it not dwell a purely among us, one of the "choir invisible" which is ever urging uas to lis "larger issues?" One wishes the fig ure would lift its head as the sick hearted do at the last burst in the tie "March Funebre." The few poor bones she weeps over are not Chopin. On ote other hand, cold-blooded ani os mals have no proper temperature of eet their own; they are -warm in warm Pa weather and cold in cold weather. A fish, a snake, a frog, or an insect, when at reet, is rarely more than two or three degrees warmer than the air or . water in which it is living. Mr. Suth ner erland placed some lizards in cold an water, which was then gradually heated, and he found f'at in all cases ble the lizards became warmer as the water was warmed and cooler as the water was cooled-in other words, they depended upon external circumstances forrtheir heat. But this is not abso lutely true, for when angry, cold. ion blooded animals, like human beings, by become hotter than usual, even a fash ion rising several degrees above the tom red perature of the water when it is e- the as erated. Aged Woman Rides a Bicycle. Probably the oldest living bicyclist is a woman in County Essex, England. aged t1, who is an adept rider and whose ýprightli ness is astonishing. Most people could enjoy health until very old age if they took proper precautions to prevent diseases of the diges tive organs by takiug an occasional dose of Hostetter's ýtomach Bitters. Even after dys pepsia, indigestion, biliousness and constipa tion have secured a foothold and become chrolllc, the Bitters wilaefford speedy relief. Under normal conditions, however, ashes and reptiles have practically the same temperature as the medium in which they live; when it is warm, they become warm and active, and when it is cold they lose their bodily activity and become torpid. The ani mals which are active in all weathers are those whioh are self-supporting as regards heat, and whose body tem neratures vary very slightly.
