IN THE ST. JOHNS REVIEW AND WATCH YOUR BUSINESS GROW Tht Venom of tha Cobra It Deadly At most Doyond Belief. It was in the iiutumn of lr'01 Hint Ciiliiiette, while noting ns di rector of the Hactoriologicnl iu.ti tutu of Saigon, Cochin Chirm, fir ft commenced his experiments on the nuutrnlizntion of ferpent venom in the nninml system, He hud excep tional opportunities in the matter of fccrpent venom wherewith to car ry out his investigations, inasmuch ns a band of cobras had recently at tacked n village in tho vicinity of llaclieii, and by order of tho gov ernor of tho district no fewer than ninety specimens of the terrible Nil ja tripttdians, or cobra de cnpollo, were forwarded In n barrel to tho institute. Forty of tho reptiles arrived nlive, and several were nt onco sac rificcd to secure their venom glands. Knch gland, resembling both in siza unit slinpo a shelled almond, con tains about thirty drops of venom, mid in this transparent limpid lienor is embodied n toxin or extraor dinary strength. As is well known, this cobra is tho most dreaded of nil serpents, and it is widely dis tributed over India, lltirum, biimn tra, Java, .Malacca nnd Cochin Chi nn. Until Calmcttc. however, set to work to systematically study tho nnttiro of this reptiles venom hut llltlo precise or reliablo informu lion had been obtained as to its character. It was, of course, ncc cssory in the first instance to as certain, within us narrow n limit as possible, tho exact degree of toxie tower inherent in tho venom and to (lotcrinino if possible tho precise iloso lethal in respect of each varie ty 01 animal experimented upon. A correct calculation of tho minn Illy of venom required in every case was, However, found to bo quite im possible, for so virulent is tho poison that n simdu drop of nn emulsion produced by noundlntr up 1 1 eight glunils in .1011 grams of dis tilled water is sullieient, when in trnducrd into tho vein of a rabbit's ear, (o kill it in live minutes.

Westminster (liuolte. THE LORD MAYOR. He Wat a Most Formidable Parsonage In Days Qone By. At a great entertainment given in the fifteenth century by the ser-gcnnls-nt-law nt Ely place, Holborn, tho lord trensurer, Baron Kuthvcn, refused to recognize that ns tho sovereign's immediate representa tive tho lord mayor was bound to lake precedence of every other sub ject within the limits of the city. Tho bold, bad baron sat stolidly thcrcforo nt tnblc in "tho most hon orable place," whereupon tho lord mayor Instantly withdrew, followed by his faithful aldermen and sher iffs nnd nil tho other citizens. Tho person of the lord mayor was onco hold to bo sacred nnd in violable, nnd none dnro approach his presenco in nn impudent man ner. Men have been hanged for forcible resistance to his nuthority, nnd it is on record that one Hicharu Hyficld in tho year 1170 was fined 50 for presuming to kneel too close to his lordship at St. Erkcn wnld's shrine. Most nwo inspiring still, tho lord mayor onco command ed the services of a merry undrew and n poet laureate. Hen Jnnson himself was a lord mayor's laureate, and oven his su premo talent wns not thought equal tn tho high duty of singing tho praises of tho common council. Ben must hnvo performed lib duties not loo graciously, for wo know that ho vtoto a letter complaining of the corporation withdrawing him from thrlr "chandlery pension for ver juice nnd mustard." Upon which letter n champion of tho city inado tho comment Unit tho pension was "not so chandlery, for it amounted to 33 Gs. 8d., n sum which may nt least stand comparison witli what has been nt nny t'mo allowed other laureates of higher degree." It was much more than was allowed oven (0 tho kinir'ri laureate in lien Jon- son's days, for until 1(130 tho pen sion was but 1011 marks without n sip of Canary. London Chronicle.

Tho late Sir Ilcnjnmin Itichardson in his "Vita Medica" gives an account of tho commotion which prevailed in tho medical collcgo nt Glasgow when tho news reached tlio physi cinns or the city. According to custom, n lnrgo class wns scntcd in tho collcao then tor, wniting for tho midday lecture. Tho professor, Dr. Moses Buchanan, wns always scrupulously punctual, but minuto uftcr minute went by nnd he did not appear. Finally ho enmc, but only to sny, to tho stu dents' grcnt surprise, that there would be no lecture that day. Ho had, ho nnnounced, n wonderful picco of news to tell tho fact that a method had been discovered through which surgical operations could bo performed without pain. "I nm, snid he, "on my wny to the Jtoynl inlirmnry to tnko part there in tho trial of tho new svst"in. nnd by nnd by wo shall meet to learn if the news which has reach' cd us is rcnlly true. If it be, this day is n red letter day in all our lives." Tho nnnounccmcnt crcntcd tho greatest excitement, nnd nil the stu dents trooped off nt once to tho Hoynl Infirmary. There Professor Andrew Ruchanan, who was to per form tho operation, stepped forward nnd repeated the news which had coma from tho Massachusetts hos pital nnd described the process so rnr ns ho knew it. Tho patient ws.9 then sent for, nnd ho camo in quite smilingly, rather proud of being tho first man in Scotland to enjoy tho honor nnd good fortune of being cut without pain. Tho usual programme followed. Ho laughed, wept nnd went through tho gamut of emotions produced bv ether, but ho finally sank to sleep, and the operation was brilliantly pcrrormed. CHURCH NOTICES.
