"Military Necessities."
Secretary Alger will urge Congress
to build a railway across Cuba as a
military necessity. Cuba fairly reeks
with military necessities] but the ne
cessities of our home government will
have first claim upon Congress and
the treasury. Nor is it quite clear how
the federal legislature can be asked to
build a railroad in a country which it
has declared free and independent,and
which may never be fit for either an
nexation or statehood.—Philadelphia

VENOMOUS SNAKES.
IHe Pol»o« Maekiaerr ®< <>• *•»-
ttlea aa< How It la Operate*.
Some yeara ago a phyiician undertook
a aeriea of experimenta on anakoa with
• view to extracting a aufficiont amount
of their venom to form a baaia for in
veatigation, In order, if poaaible, to dis
cover some antidote. His laboratory is
a curious and somewhat uncanny place
and one from which thoee with un
steady nerves instinctively recoil.
The apparatus for extracting the
venom la a moat ingenious and yet a
very simply one. A bit of chamois is
tied over the top of a funnel which
leads to a bottle. Everything is secured
very firmly. The snake is caught by the
back of the neck and placed close to
this chamois. He strikes his fangs
through it, when tiny jets of venom an
thrown from the fangs upon the glass
sides of the bottle, trickling thence into
the bottle. Again and again the snake
is made to strike. If necessary, other
snakes of the same species are used un
til a sufficient amount of the venom is
collected.
The relative deadly qualities of the
venom of snakes have also been the sub
ject of experiments. It appears that the’
diamond back rattlesnake is the most
to be dreaded. The next in order is the
banded rattlesnake, followed by the
copperhead and the water moccasin or
cottonmouth.
The poison machinery of the snake
consists of a pair of needle pointed
fangs, which, when the creature is at
rest, are folded back in the roof of the
mouth. When it becomes angry, these
fangs are thrown forward, and in the
act of striking a tiny jet of poison is
thrown from each. The poison is a thin,
yellow fluid which upon exposure de
composes very, rapidly. Snake poison,
if kept from the air or dried, retains its
full force for many years.* —New York
Ledger.
INDEMNITY AGAINST LOSS.
Some Ancient Instances of Insurance
Can Be Easily Found.
Probably the first recorded instance
of insurance was one mentioned by
Livy. During the second Punic war the
contractors 'for delivering corn into
Spain stipulated that the government
should indemnify them against loss by
the enemy or tempest. Cicero, too, aft
er his victory in Cilicia, seems to have
obtained security against the loss of his
booty during its transit to Rome. These
instances, however, are not regarded as
tine cases of insurance by many author
ities, who assert that only after the re
vival of commerce in the tenth oentury
did it come into vogue. If this be so,
the first mention of insurance is the
establishment in 1810 at Bruges at the
request of the inhabitants of a chamber
of assurance.
“The contract of reciprocal insurance
was known likewise in Portugal in the
fourteenth century, and in the fifteenth
(Sept. 10, 1436) King Edward of Por
tugal writes from Lisbon that the mer
chant vessels of the English, which had
been chartered for the Tangier expedi
tion, had not been insured, owing to
the fault of their proprietors, while
those of the Portuguese, even of the
royal navy, were.” It is probable, how
ever, that insurance came into use in
Italy early in the twelfth century and
was by the Lombards transplanted into
those countries with which they had
commercial dealings. To them, there
fore, the invention of insurance, as it is
now understood, is generally conceded.

Testing Cornstalk Pith.
The American consul general at St.
Petersburg gives this account of a trial
of cornstalk pith made by the Russian
admiralty board on the proving grounds
at Peligon, near St Petersburg:
“A cofferdam 6 feet long, 6 feet deep
and 8 feet broad was packed with blocks
of cellulose made from the pith of In**
dian corn stalks. The material was sup
plied by an American corporation. A 6
inch solid shot was fired through the
dam, striking it about 20 inches from
the bottom. The shot passed clear
through both the iron walls and the
cellulose packing. Less than half a
pound of cellulose was carried out by
the projectile. The water compartment
of tho dam was filled, giving a pressure
of nearly five feet of water on the per
forated surface. In just half an hour a
moist spot began to show on the outer
surface of the dam, but it was evident
the moisture had come along the bottom
of the packing and not along the path
of the shot. In four hours no water had
come through the shot’s path.
“Tfae experiment conclusively dem
onstrated that a ship provided with a
cofferdam packed as was the one used
in the experiment could be perforated
five feet below the water line without
the least danger of the entrance of wa
ter.”

A New Fish From Trout Egga.
At the fish hatchery at Ukiah, Cat, an
odd thing came out this summer in the
trout hatching, which has puzzled some
of the experts. A tot of trout eggs came
in from Lake Tahoe, and in the course of
hatching out there appeared among the
products of these egga some eighty odd
strange fish, a pale lemon colored fish
fringed with black, with a pink lino
alongside, and a bright metallic luster in
general coloration, The authorities were
unable to name these fish and are hold
ing them in a separate apartment, hoping
that they will either turn into regulation
trout or get themselves classified as they
belong.
It would appear that nature has got
in another of her mystifying ways and
has not consulted the authorities about it
at all. Is it possible that we are to have »
few specialties to add to the fantail deer
and the horn snake? The fantail deer 1
take to be now scientifically admitted, not
only as a possibility, but as a fact, and I
lay much unction to my own soul that I
was ahead of the scientist on that and
guessed correctly that the old hunters were
correct in claiming that there was such
an animat As to these trout, it is as well
to be meek, for not even an old hunter has
as yot appeared who ever saw anything
like them.—Ed Hough in Forest and
Stream.
Pilgrim* to Blaine’s Grave.
The superintendent of Oak Hill ceme
tery In this city says that an average of 30
persons visit that place every day to see
the grave of Mr. Blaine, and . four out of
every five come to his office to inquire why
it is unmarked. Mr. Blaine lies upon the
eastern slope of a beautiful hill by the side
of his son Walker and daughter Alice,
who was the wife of General Coppinger.
There is a small headstone marking
Walker’s grave, Inscribed simply with hi*
nanje and the dates of his birth and death.
The daughter’s grave is marked by an
elaborate Celtio cross, which, the inscrip
tion says, “Was erected by her sorrowing
husband,” but the grave of Secretary
Blaine is marked only by a small foot
stone, a few inches square, bearing the
letters “J. G. B.”
It has been understood among the
friends of the Blaine family that the
burial at Oak Hill is only temporary; that
Mrs. Blaine intends to remove the bodies
of her husband and children to Augusta
as soon as she can make satisfactory ar
rangements for their iAtorment there, and
that is probably the reason why no perma
nent monument has been erected.—Wash
ington Letter ip Chicago Record.
