MONGOOSE AND SNAKEBITE. Blood of (hr Animal Contains an An titoxin Which la Destructive to Ike I‘oison, There is probably no casualty more appalling than snakebite, by reason of the usually fata) result which follows the injury when the snakeis of a high ly venomous species, says the Lonron Chronicle. Even a minute quantity of the virus injected into the blood will prove death dealing within a very short period of time. Remedies for snakebite have hivherto been limited to attempts made to prevent the spread of the poison through the sys tem and to the fortifying of the pa tient against collapse. But till within very recent times nothing in the way of antidote or specific cure for snake bite was known. True, there have been “snake stones”—still used in the east —which have been vaunted as specifics, but from an examination of specimens one finds them to be either pieces of ordinary mineral or bits of bone or pieces of plant roots. It is fairly safe to say that if any case of snakebite is said to be cured by the application of a “snake stone” the bite was not that of a poisonous species. Also it has been said that the immunity of the mon goose, the renowned snake killer, was due to the animal eating some herb or other which counterbalanced the ef fect of the bite. Nobody, however, has ever been able to discover this herb, and it happens that a much more sci entific explanation of the power of the mongoose to resist the virus of the ser pent is forthcoming. That explanation rests on the fact that the blood of the animal contains a principle (or “anti toxin, it may be named) which is destructive to the poison of the snake, or which, at any rate, renders the body of the mongoose resistant to the action of the venom. REFRIGERATING EGGS. One of thi* Otlileat of lleeenl Inven tions fop Comlliir Various Ilevernge*. One of the oddest of recent in ventions is e. refrigerating egg, as it might be called. It is an ovoid cap sule of nickel-plated copper, about the size and shape of a hen’s egg, hollow and nearly filled with water. For use, it is frozen, so that its con tents become ice. If you have a glass of milk that is not cold enough, you do not like to put ice into it, because dilution with water spoils the beverage. But, if you have one of these eggs handy, you may drop it into the glass, and in a few moments the liquid is re duced to the desired temperature. In the same way you may cool your cup of coffee, if it is too hot, and the Idea is equally applicable to any other drink. Many people nowadays are disin clined to use ice in their drinking water, because it may contain germs. All danger is avoided by dropping one of these metal eggs into one’s tumbler. The r< irigerating egg, according to the Saturday Evening Post, is a little less than fill of water, so ns to allow for the slight expansion of the liquid in freezing; otherwise, of course, the capsule would burst. After being i lied, the capsule is sealed so perfectly that no one can i ell where the opening was, and thus it is absolutely water tight. Such an egg. of metal, it is said, ran hardly be broken, and ought to lust forever. WASN’T THE REAL THING. So the Telephone Girl I)I<1 ’ ot Return Her Admirer's Kls Over the Wire. With a blush the young girl at the telephone branch took (he round I lack clasps of rubber from her ears, says the Chicago Daily News, and. turning on the girl beside her amused, shocked eyes, she said: “Maggie, he did it again!” “The rascal!” said Maggie. “And, Maggie, do you know what? He’s told some of his friends about it, and now, in calling him up, they do it, too, if I happen to make the connection.’’ “Gee!” said Maggie. “Now, Maggie, 1 won’t stand for it much longer. I’ll give him a call. It’s so silly—l don’t see what fun he gets out of it. rle does it every morning. ‘Good morning, Miss Blanche,’ he says, laughing a little, us soon as I answer his ring, and then he makes that sound like a kiss, and laughs and waits. It’s a kiss; it's a kiss all right; a kiss sounds very plain and real over the wire, and I suppose he expects me to kms him back. 1 don’t, though. I'm not so foolish. If it was the real thing, now. why, then—” “Thai’s what,” said Maggie. Clrhp Amhcm In n round.

Alcohol to Kllll riuilß, The enormous overproduction of al cohol in France has led Jean Dupuy, the minister of agriculture, to offer a series of prizes for any kind of appara tus or machinery that will open a way for its greater consumption. United States Consul Covert at Lyons says an exhibition of inventions for the use of alcohol for illuminating or heating purposes or for motor power will be held in Paris from November 16 to 24. It is proposed to apply motor power to agricultural implements under the di rection of the department of agricul ture. JUMPED ON;! TEXPENSTIXAIL. The littte daughter of Mr. J. N.

Too Much for the Oatrlcii. in the Belle Isle zoo, at Detroit, someone threw the bottom of a broken beer bottle into the ostrich yard. The big ostrich, which had per formed such feats as swallowing glass marbles, slate pencils, spikes and tennis balls, promptly tackled the new food. It disappeared into the bird's mouth and spectators saw the moving lump in the ostrich's throat which showed the course of the tit-bit. Then the movement stopped and the ostrich looked un happy, twisted it.- ncek this way and that way. and started to run fran tTaiiy about the yard.
