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.

WHITE. 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. —Exchange. 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.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

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.
