Hitherto the apply has been obtained chiefly from isia, but It has always been mure or ass uncertain In quantity and cliar cter. Recently, however, Australia aa appeared as a competitor In the tarket, but to what extent cannot be eadlly ascertained, for snake venom, k radium, Is measured by grains nd commands on almost fabulous rice, somewhere between .".." k nnd 8,000 per pound. It Is doubtful wheth r the world's annual production eacb.es that quantity, but a value of torn 2)s. to ur.s. per Krai" will am 4j repay the collector. Possibly with orther developments iu medU-al bcI nc the demand will Increase and jad to a corresponding rise lu price, h supply necessarily remaining lim . .d. The headquarters of the Australian apply are situated in Sydney, where a industry became established by a ailful naturalist, whose name, al though unfamiliar to the general pub ic.

Kach of these has to be caught Injured, a task demanding consld rable knowledge of the ways of oake life nnd no little skill in the rk of capture. Snakes are plentiful a the wilder parts of the Common oealth and constitute one of the dart ers of bush traveling. They are less requeutly met with in the vicinity of largely populated places, but a saucer C milk will sometimes reveal their viously unsuspected existence.

The tiger snake Is the lost useful to the poison collector, a It not only carries the largest mount of venom, but this, when ex racted, Is equal in killing power to iat of the cobra. It is one of the last common of Australian snakes, ad Its deadly character is so widely sown that when bitten by one a col lator has no hesitation in chopping ff the Injured limb, death being the ly alternative. The manner in which the snake olsnn or serum is obtained possesses veral features of interest. One tethod, both delicate and dangerous, t to extract In perfect form the omous bag, tying the valvo tightly, as to prevent tho escape of the olson. It Is then placed in prcserv ig fluid for export. Another method, At invented by the collector, is Sim la and effective. It consists of a nail apparatus held by a handle In je hand. In this a broad band of Ydla rubber passes across n glass iate, a small space separating the jro. The apparatus Is placed opposite le head of the snake, the neck being , ld firmly by the other hand of the jerator. On the reptile opening its tws the end of the apparatus is In- jrted, -when the snake Immediately Jtes its poison fangs In the India rub r, leaving the marks of a couple of toy dots where they penetrate the mterlal. The poison discharged Into ie India rubber band sinks on the Jass plate below, where It is care ttlly collected. When the snake re toves Its fangs from the apparatus It placed in n cage, and the glass fate replaced by another, in readl ots for the next snake The Rnakes are caught by men who become exceedingly expert In Aa work, the chief supply being ob alned from portions of the coast wnth nf Sydney, and who claim thnt entlful doses of undiluted whisky institute an Infallible cure for snake lite. The price of a miiike ranges rom a couplo of shillings upward, mme bringing as much as seven or sight shillings, and thero are places 9t Sydney where students of natural tistory can obtain almost any kind paired. The general method of tatching a snake is by pressing n bat m some five feet in length and four ar five Inches In width, down on the ck, until n hold of the back of the sead can be obtained with the fin tws. If n forked stick be employed :ere Is a risk of the snake breaking la poison fangs while biting the ood.

Vifcratlons from Trains Deadened, j nd Musical Telephones, One of the best olllce buildings In Ilerlln Is that of a certain electrical firm. Whenever the telephone "rings" in thnt building it doesn't ling, It sings a musical note. This result Is due to a Yankee. Wl'en the building was being com pleted a yoitng telephone engineer from America, who was associated with the firm, was asked to install tho telephone service. It was obvious ly appropriate that It should illustrate the best telephone practice, and to his mind this demanded the avoidance of the noise and nervous wear ordi narily produced by the telephone bell, lie therefore substituted for this dis quieting Instrument a device which gives forth a soft musical note. In some of the olllces the innovation was welcomed. In others it was de clined on the ground that this quiet sound would certainly not lie heard. After a little time, however, It wao found that the ear accustomed Itself lo notice the soft and agreeable sound with Just as much precision as was secured by a harsh nnd startling Round. The result of a few months' experience was, therefore, that every rattling bell or buzzer was discarded for the "singing note." anil the en hanced composure thus realized in the building was very material. In tho same city, when an elevated electric railway was recently being built, not only were all the plans of the company carefully scrutinized In advance by tho municipal authorities, nnd those for the stations radically changed hi the interest of street beau ty, but special devices were also em ployed to deaden the vibration from trains. The lesson from Herlln Is, therefore, that, despite the vaunted "demands of modern life in cities," noise can bo reduced by attention, even in the case of these two pre-eminent offenders, the telephone bell and the elevated railway. Chicago Itecord-Hcrald. War Record of a Dog. Unusual Interest centered iu a case heard In the Dublin police court. In which the leading figure was a bull dog that formerly belonged to Gen. Philip Itotha and went through a good portion of the South African war. Krnest Warmlnghnm, canteen man ager for the contractors, was sum moned for cruelty to the animal, which has been stationed for some time past with the Uoyal Irish rifles at Richmond barracks. The bulldog, which now belongs to Color Sergt. Kdwards, Uoyal Irish rllles, was accommodated with a seat In the witness box, from which point he semed to take a lanquld Interest in the proceedings. He was dressed in a coat with green facings, and wore several South African medals clasps. The animal's record Is an eventful one. During the Hoar war he was captured by the -d Iioyul Irish ritles, mounted Infantry, from Commandant Philip Hotlia's farm In the Doorn berg, in September, l'.MM). From that lime until the end of the war he trekked with the rilles' mounted force from (irlqualand in the west to P.asutoland in the east, and he still bears the scar of a wound received in action. Later ho was with (Jen. French's column In Cape Colony. For his service the bulldog now wears the queen's South African medal with three clasps, and the king's South African medal with two clasps. London Telegraph. Queer Japan. Japan is a queer country It Is a land, of contradictions and inversions. We prefer sweet fruit, they sour; they make saucepans of paper; we weep at misfortunes, they laugh; we, think white teeth beautiful, Japanese ladies varnish their teeth black; they put on the roof of a house lirst., and build the walls up afterward; their carpenters draw the pane toward them; their horses' shoes are of straw; their tailors, In stitching, point the needle from them; in their locks their key turns from left to right, old men in Japan fly kites anil spin tops, while children look on; Japanese writers use painting brushes, not pens, and write from bot tom to top, and from right to left; in Japan there are no lawyers, and Japanese doc-tors never make any charges, or send lu any bills; our mourning garments are black, theirs white; and they mount a horse on the off side. F.x. Chinese Trees In London. The Allanto, or Allanthus glandu losa, of which some lino specimens are about to be planted in Kingsway and Aldwych, is a Chinese plant which is very hardy In England, nnd will probably be able to survive even the smoky atmosphere of London. It Is largtdy used as food for the allan thus, or Cynthia silkworm, and is as ornamental as it is useful. It Is a stately free, with a straight trunk and magnificent foliage, the leaves being often more than three feet In length. The Russian government has planted a number near Odessa, and it appears to be the best tree for growth on the steppes. In France It Is used as a timber tree, thriving on chalky boIIs. Probably no better choice could have been made for beautifying two of the finest streets In London, or the world. London Chronicle. IflilMIlII, Colorado Alan's Description of African Gold Coast. IN THE TRANSVAAL RAID Says That the Colony of His Compan ion sis Rapidly Fading Away, Return ing to Their Old Homes Owing to the Sickly Climate. The Colorado colony in Afrloa Is rainidly fading away. Illness caused by a alckly climate U causing the daring men who left here years ago to work the rich mlne for English companies to rot urn to thu r old home where life is worth living. Follow ing tho roturn of J. II. S. Cox, for mer divtelon superintendent of tho tramway company, who arrived here recently after spending three years in Seikonda, cm the west coast of Africa, In the gold coast colony, comes William Howard, who has been on the African gold coast thirteen years. He la but a shadow of his former self. Mr. Howard was In the famous Transvaal raid with Jameson and es caped capture and death almost by a miracle. John Hays Hammond was his associate on many occasions and was with him in this raid. Hammond however was captured. For many years Mr. Howard enjoyed a salary of $25,000 a year He was employed by the Wassati Mining Company, of Ion don, England, which owns valuable properties on tho gold coast. When he left here thirteen years ago it was to go to the Dutch Republic. He had heard of the wonderful gold mines there, and, being of an adventurous disposition, he decided to try Wis for tune. His abilities as a mining man soon brought hm to the attention of the English company, and he was en gaged as their superintendent He was fto successful with their African mines that they sent him to India te look after the!r properties there. After he had put them in shape he returned to tho gold coast. There he met Mr. Wood, ono of the Wood broth ers of Colorado, and James Litchfield, a Denver man, who formerly was an extensive operator In this State. Both were doing well. There were six other Colorado men In the country, and all were successful. Some months before his return to the I'niited States he met with an accident and broke three ribs. It was slow work recovering and when he was able to move about he decided to come back j to Denver and spend the ro&t of his cays nere. Mr. Howard is still a young man and will return to his old occupation mining. He says tho gold coast Is a white man's graveyard and he advises Colorado men to keep away. Denver Times. Bear Story From Maine. Here Is a bear story from South Paris: Tho other night Ira Murch of that village went to a pasture near the Stony Brook road after his cow. When well up Into the pasture he stooped down to pick some strawberries and a little distance away heard a combined grunting and squealing sound. Look ing up he beheld a largo female bear with her family of three little cubs about two roils ahead of him. Tho mother bear was lying down, but got up slowly onlo her forward feet and took a careful survey of Mr. Murch. He then tossed n small stick toward her, when she got onto her foot nnd walked away, closely followed by her babies. Mr. Murch says she was quite thin, but thinks she would welch about 200 pounds. Tho cubs were, from his description, some eight or ten weeks old, and very cunning. Several boys armed with guns started Saturday In pursuit. So far as we know the hoys got back alive.

Buckingham Smith, while secre tary of the American legation at Madrid, In 1858. wrote to un Ameri can gentleman that "Yankee Doodle's" music bore a strong resemblance to a popular air of Biscay and that a pro fessor from Northern Spain had rec ognized It as being much liko tho an cient sword dance played on solemn occasions by the people of San Sebas tian.

A correspondent writes from Mos cow: The unsatisfactory manner In which the managements of tho Si berian nnd particularly the Manchu ria n, railways discharge their obliga tions to the Russian trading com munity Is the subject of bitter com plaint. Tralnload after tiainloait of goods dispatched from the Far K.i.st to Moscow has been blinked In tran sit at various points on the railway lilies since their olliclal 'opeii'ing to tralllc." A leading Russian Importer of Chinese tea informs me thai not only considerable Inconvenience, but serious loss, has been caused to im porters by the annoying bie.il-.ilo.vus ou tho railways during the la:,t six months, which my inlormant roundly declares are due lu the tnaiu either to faulty construction of the line and Us viaducts or to lack of raUoual tratlk: organization. Several largi cargoes ot" Chinese tea disp iu hod from the Pacitlc Coast for Moscow three months buck only reached ilicir destination u couple of weeks iil;o. Tho handling of the freight by thu railway employees Is most careless, damaged casings and patchings belli..; lamentably frequent. Collisions ou the Siberian and Manchuiian Lues have, he adds, been so frequent that oue might almost imagine the rail way paid a premium to its drivers and pointsmen for reducing its roll ing stock. Tho rolling stock Itself he declares to be totally Inadequate. Side by side with a Moscow -Fort Arthur train de luxe, which compares to advantage with anything of the sort either lu Europe, locomotives, aud covered vans, and tho general haphazard goods organization, stand out in a contrast which he describes as "truly Russian." Many portions of the line through Siberia are stated to have been laid with u want of technical supervision, which Is almost criminal. Some of the very bridges and viaducts which have given serious trouble under a by no means heavy traflic were built under the "supervision" of a con traitor who, prior to their comple tion, found It expedient hurriedly to quit Russian territory for good, after making hundreds of thousands of ru bles out of his contract by dishonest means. Nor, adds my informant, was this an isolated case. It has repeatedly been declared that a strict Government Inquiry was to be held in St. Petersburg for the purpose of ex amining Into various cases of olliclal dishonesty nnd mismanagement in connection with the construction of the ransaslau trunk line. My informant declares that, In spite of the apparent advantage afford ed by the specially differentiated duty on tea Imported into European Russia through Odessa and Katun) from Shanghai and I long Kong by Volunteer Fleet steamer, the lamenta ble frictions, the damage In transit, nnd the delays in connection with tea and other cargoes carried over the Manchurlan and Siberian rail ways bid fair to Induce Russian im porters for some timo to come to glvo tho new land route a wide berth. No such delays are experienced with cargoes brought by sea, which are de livered in good condition at Odessa quays In from twenty-four to twenty eight days from Chinese ports of ship ment. After the recent arbitrary ap propriation by the Russian authori ties for military transport purposes of a considerable portion of tho roll ing stock on the Siberian and Man churlan lines, nnd the temporary com plete breakdown on the Manchurlan system, the quantity of goods black ed ut vurlous points along tho Trans as Ian line reached close on five mil lion poods. He Is convinced that the line has a great future before It, but he is no less convinced that it will never suc ceed in competing successfully for many of the best cargoes with well equipped steamer fleets plying through the Suez Canal. Moreover, he thinks it quite possible that the Siberian system may yet have to face the competition of u rival line in Asia. Something, he declares, has been heard In certain quarters In Rus sia of a project for the linking up of India with the plains of the Yang-tse by means of an "ail-red" line of rails. Tho possible extension of this railway at some future date until it becomes a competitive Transasian trunk line extending from tho Pacific to Arabia, and practically linking up with the gigantic Cape Town to Cairo trunk lino through Africa, has also been taken luto account in the same quar ters. In passing, I may be allowed to add that I have heard this pro,lct debated with Interest In other circles In Russia besides those of commerce. London Times Correspondence. Japan's Naval Programme. A notable naval event which slip ped by without notice was tho launch ing In Japan of tho o,HMton cruiser Ottawa. Her completion will signal ize tho fulfilment of Japan's scheme of naval construction devised at the end of the Chinese war, which has raised the island empire into one of the great naval powers of the world. Most of the fleet was built In Eng land, but Germany and tho United fjta'es contributed certain ships, and Japan herself has built some. Hence forth, Japan will probably be able to handle all of her own naval construction. Tollers in Our Factories.
