The Hedgehog Poison Proof.
The curious immunity of the hedge
hog to snake poison has often been
the subject of scientific Investigation.
And some recent experiments show
that it is also comparatively immune
to the toxins of diphtheria and teta-.
nus. The question therefore arises.
Does the hedgehog possess separate
antitoxins for all these various poi
sons? Such a number of separate an
titoxins existing at the saiue time In
the blood of one animal seems highly
improbable. That they should be form
ed to order on the advent of the cor
responding toxin is still more unlikely.
A more probably suggestion is the ex
istence in the blood of the hedgehog
of one powerful antitoxin which is
able to neutralize a numh-r of differ
ent poisons. The bedgelug Is appar
ently more resistant thin most ani
mals to cyanic poisons, but not to
others.
Mammoth Cave In Austria.
A description of the new mammoth
cave in Europe has been pnblished by
Hermann Boch, recently discovered
near Obertraun, In Austria. The cave
is situated under t ie Dachstein, a
mountain In Upper Austria 0300 feet
high. The entrance is at an elevation
of about 4,300 feet. Among the char
acteristic features of the cave is a
natural tunnel, at the bottom of which
is a river bed six feet deep, formed by
on early stream. This tunnel leads to
a precipice. Still another feature is a
gallery 130 feet high, v. hlcb leads to a
series of stalactite cavi rns. Like many
another cave throughout the world,
the Austrian cavern has Its dome, 340
feet high, with a convince heap of da
bris 200 feet high in the center. From
this central dome radiate a maze of
other domes and galleries, many of
which end precipitately in dark abysses.
A Walking Wharf.
There was recently exhibited in the
Engineering society's building In New
York a model of a section of con
struction wharf which la capable of
propelling Itself above the surface of
the water by means i f movable
"spuds" or legs. The walking wharf
has been successfully use.l in Great
Britain, notably at Peterhead, Scot
land, where the wharf moved itself
out over the bed of the harbor to an
exposed position, where drilling op
erations were carried out from its
deck, and 10,000 cubic yards of granite
was successfully blasted at a depth of
twenty-four feet below high water.
Momentum cf a Big Ship.
From expcrlini nta conducted In
France w ith a 0,7 0 ton vessel It has
been calculated th.it a modern cruiser
of 20,000 tons displacement running
at a speed of 10 knots If Its engines
were stopped would, after continu
ing to run for fifty-two minutes with
decreasing speed, still retain a speed
of a knot and would then have trav
eled five kilometers (3.1 miles).

For many vnturies th Yemen has

the system of laud culliialiou today

a pick with a short handle, but long

Popular Mechanics.
Peril In Scur Milk.
The sour milk "craze," following the
publication of Professor Metchiiikoff's
researches, is said by medical men to
be the greatest which has been known
In modem medical history. At the
same time it Is declared to 1 suited
to oniy a particular class of cases,
and it Is therefore coming Into con
demnation by the medical faculty.
The condemnation seems to be based
on the fact that few persons have
shown any improvement under the
use of sour milk. It Is admitted that
sour milk Is nourishing, but not so
much so as ordinary milk, because
some of the sugar has been removed
by Its conversion into lactic acid. On.1
case is cited of a woman who had
used sour milk for two days and then
was found suffering from Indigestion
of starch in the intestines. The effect
of taking sour milk was to increase
the splitting up of the starch with the
formation if organic acids; hence the
irritation.
Cobras and Music.
Barnard cuncludts from his personal
observation of cobras in Ceylon that
the serpent's traditional love for music
is a pure fable aud that the only ef
fect of music Is to arouse the reptile's
curiosity, which is excited by any loud
ami acute sound. The cobra protrudes
Us head from its burrow alike on hear
ing the snake charmer's flute, the rat
tling of a chain or the sounds made
by beating the ground with a switch.
It appears to perceive only sounds of
high pitch, for it pays no attention to
the low notes of the flute or the beat
ing of a drum. Barnard also con
firmed In Ceylon the results of ob
servations made In the London zoolog
ical garden on the supjwsrd power of
fascination exerted by serpents upon
birds, and he concludes that this pow
er of fascination is also purely Imagi
nary. Violin Rosin For Musicians.

"There" an express," replied his
host, disposing of the matter. "I'll
have it stopped for you."
An hour or so later, in the thick
darkness of an autumn even.injr, Mr.
Morgan took the bishop in his car
riage down the stoop road to the
railroad station. No lights shone
from the lmiidin,!. The coachman
sot out and tried the door and rat
tled it. Then he came Wk and
reported that the airont had gone
home for the night.
The sound of an approaching
train was heard faintly, but grow
ing louder.
"Tiroak in the door." ordered
Morgan impatiently, "llet a big
stone and smash it." lie and his
visitor got out of the carriage and 1
looked on. Finally the door gave

scratching a number of matches
found a lantern and lit it. "All
right, bishop." he called cheerfully;
"come ahead." And be walked out
to the middle of the track and wav

With a horrid screeching and
soui-iiking the train stopped. It
was a freight, a very long freight.
Out of the cat) loaned the surprised
engineer, and from the caboose
somewhere in the faraway darkness
the conductor came running up,
very angry.
"What do you mean by stopping
this train?" he demanded fiercely.
Mr. Morgan, still holding the lan
tern, told him who he was.
l don't care a whoop in blazes
who you are (the conductor's lan
guage bore becomes unprintable)
You've got no ousino.-s why," tic
choked, "there's an express train
following us. You'll have a colli

more attention to him or his re
marks. "All right, bishop," he was say
ing gently. "You get right in the
caboose and ride to New Y'ork."

The Wrong Trunk.
Mr. II., buyer for a big depart
ment store, recently left for his
maiden trip to the old world, where
his mission was to collect soma of
the choicest foreign perfumes. Aft
er spending several days in a flutter
of anticipation and preparation he
bought a large steamer trunk in
the trunk section of the store he
worked for. The trunk was sent to
his home.
About the time he began pack
ing the telephone bell rang.
"Hello!" said Mr. II.
"Say, this is Bill, in the trunk de
partment," came back over the
wire. "Tell me, did you take a
berth on the starboard or port side
of the steamer?''
"Left hand side, Bill."
"Then," whispered Bill, "send
that trunk back. I made a mistake.
I sent you a trunk for the starboard
side." Boston American.
History of Music.
The origin of music is lost in an
tiquity. Among civilized peoples it
is probably to be traced to the an
cient Egyptians, who employed the
art in their religious rites. From
the Egyptians the Greeks and Ro
mans derived their knowledge of
music. The ancient Hebrews prob
ably took with them to Palestine
some of the songs they had learned
in Kgvpt. The hymns used in the
temple were the basis of the Chris
tian melodies and from these mel
odies was formulated the first au
thoritative musical system. New
York American.
