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.

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.

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. Powell
jumped on an inverted rake made of ten
penny nails, and thrust one nail entirely
through her foot and a second one half
way through. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm was promptly applied and five
minutes later the pain had disappeared
and no more suffering was experienced.
In three days the child was wearing her
shoe as usual and with absolutely no
discomfort. Mr. Powell is a well known
merchant of Forkland Va. Pain Balm
is an antiseptic and heals Jsuch injuries
without maturation* and in one-third

someone threw the bottom of a

the bird's mouth and spectators saw
the moving lump in the ostrich's

the tit-bit. Then the movement
stopped and the ostrich looked un
