INDIA’S DEADLY 8NAKES. Where The: re 1,000 Cobras to the are —A Remedy Worse m the Bite. [Times of India.} ‘The Statistica show that during the last year nh amount of rewards paid for the destraction wild beasts and venomous snakes in British India was 99.159 mane AS far as regards the beast its, the money was, no oh we well Gere etnocgte the rewards are some- We have, for instance, beard or eae wolf, which had been bro’ anne G Sp domestically until it was as tame as a lady's falling a victim toa greedy servant in ‘the cook-room for the sake of the head money, But, after all, wolves are not very pleasant pets, and there can be little doubt that the offer of Yewards for the destruction of really dangerous png is in the main useful. Tempted by this, the village shikaree, though he may have no Dabs of nis own, will sit up for the wolf that Prowis about the precincts of the village at = thirsting for Infants’ blood. in reality, only three species of snakes dan- to haman life are to be met with in the y presidency, viz., the cobra, the chain Wiper, and a small black snake, banded avith wi ite, which is known to the naturalists as Bungarus arenatus. There ts another prettily- marked little viper, ‘which is common enough, Dut, as it ts barely'a foot In length, its bite 13 very rarely fatal. ‘To these popular Anzlo- Endian tradition adds several most deadly Species, the carpet snake, the whlp snake, the eye snake, &c. The last owes its nam>, a - ing to Dr. E. Nicholson, to an idea among otherwise sane’ Englis: in the habit of hanging by Dranch of a tree for the purpose of hitting passers by in the eye. Of the three sp2les mentioned above the Bunjarus is very inot- fensive, and not common, wile the chain viper 18 extremely lazy, and generally gives Warning of its pressncé by hissiag furzoust ’ When any one approa tl from these tivo species are probably rare. The cobra, on the other hand, ts one of the commonest snakes in India, as it is one of t! most fatal in the world. Dr. Nicholson, wiao Was appointed in 1s73 to superintend the dis- tribution of the rewards in Binzalore, estimates ‘the cobra aang of that, region at 1,000 per square mile This calculation, it correct, will pS serve equally for any ition in the iN, as, for instance, Poona, where the cobra finds both board and lodging on easy terms in the holes of the field rats, and probably does man more service in a year thanall the milschiet it does him in a century. Throughout Bombay itself the cobra swarins, especially on places like Malabar Hill and Camballa Hill and Parel. That the cobra is so rarely seen is only another roof of its extremely timid and wary dispost- m. But snakes, indesd, in man far more than man shuns them. Their first tmpulse on hearing his dreaded footsteps is to ran, and among Europeans who wear boots the possi- bility of being bitten is small. ‘Natives, walking noisciessly, with bare feet, are, of course, much more liable to acctdents, yet the statistics we have, already referred to give the total number of pérsons killed by ven- omous snakes during the year 1Si5 at 16, or less than one in 10,000 of the pe ulation. And itis not unlikely that we should be nearer the truth if we cut down that number by b only because snake-bite has been, since the days of Hamlev’s father, a most convenient explana- tion of doubtful deaths, but because in hun- sof cases, where the bite of the snake would not have sufticed to kill the man, native methods of cure complete the work and put an end to his life. A correspondent, in calling attention to the danger, sends us an example very mutch to the point that came under his notice. A young Mussulman, an energetic and v Iman, was turning over some rubbish when a kled snake, about two feet long, Dit him above the ankle.

Next some local savants suggested that the poison should be got out of the man’s stomach, and a good handtul of salt was given him, with an immediate re- sult. After this a decoction of neem leaves was administered, both internally and externally, ee of it being rubbed on the crown of his ead. Some other decoction was smeared under the roof of his tongue.

The only one of these, howevel ich is incapable of answer at this point is assertion that the ratus cannot ight equallt not remune! teen twentleths of the power in the production of heat, etc. The other electro-illu Ing ap- paratuses do yield 1,200 candles, involving a ioe of one-half the power; but they are surpassed | by Mr. Edison’s in other important respects, which more than compensates this advantage. es ally they are incapable of being adjusted, Mr. Edfson’s, to the amount of work to be | done. To a single Hamp at work, they must be as active as though the whole muitl- | tude to be supplied were at work. And tt is hoped that, by further study of the problem, the proportion of electricity converted into | light will be greatly increased. Even as it is, the ratio of the light produced to the force em: ployed ts four times more favorable in the case of Edison’s lamp than in that of a gas-burner. | A second objection is that the exhaustion of | the Edison globe being imperfect, even thesmail | amount of air which is left 1s suMicient to con- sume the delicate carbon horse-shoe, and to make the lamp burn dimand go out.

Mr. Edison’s apparatus will extaust’all but the millionth part of this, This he ascertains, no by a loose estimate, but by a mathematical measurement made during the process of ex- haustion. Now oxygen combines with carson in the ratio of about three toone. The one- taillionth of half a grain of oxygen. will there- fore consume one-sixth millionth part of a grain of the are,—an entirely Inappreclable quantity. It ts true that, while some of Mr. Edison's lamps have burnt for months with no dimtnutioa of thetr brilliancy, the greater number have gone out through the breakage of the delicate horse- shoe of baxei paper. But this is owing to im perfect adjustmeat creating a resistance to th» flow of the electric current, and not to the con- suming effect of the oxygen. A third objection comes from London. It is that the electric light-1s ghastly and unpleasant, and that unless some moditication of the color- ing of the glass in the globe is possible, no one willendure it. ‘This is true enough of the other electric lights, but not of Edison’s. They are produced by a current passing between two points of carbon; his by the incandescence of a continuous are of carbon. For reasons which every student of the theory of light will appre- ciate, the effect is very different. When the Albert Hall in London was lighted by the Sie- = electriclamp, the English ladies, after one fete riment, refused to expose thelr beauty to a light in which every complexion became hideous. It was found necessary, for this reason, to put salt into the carbons, 50 as to impart a reddish linge to the light. But the effect of the Edison light is so similar to that of gas, that unless attention were called to it, a person might sup- coe the rooms of Mr. Edison’s house to be lighted by gas-light. ‘The older electric tren S. are open to other serious objections which do not apply to the new one. The rustling noise made by the fluid in passing from point to point was one of these. The liability of the lamp to be affected by draughts of air was another. ‘There will be some great collateral gains with the Introduction of électrie lighting into our homes. The supply of a cheap motive power to run sewing-machines and the like, will one of these.

All this was real, and not a story from the Arabian Nights. One evening when the glow-worms had lit their lamps under every bush, the Mozui and his empress were in the garden. Their eldest daughter, best beloved of bis children she most resembled her mother, was playing their feet, “Dearest queen,” exclaimed Shah-Jehan, “here are some flowers that I have Just plue! ed, How happy should I be it zou could not die!

The em- peror was distracted when she sald to him, “ Remember my two requests; now I must leave you. ‘All the doctors and wise men in the kingdom were summoned, but they were so afraid their heads would be cut off, they did not know what to do; they suggested so Many things that, of course, the poor queen stood very Ittie chance, All the love and power of her husband could not save her any more than ifshe had been the wife of hermeanestslave. She died—the palace was dumb with grief. No official dared to speak to the emperor and tell him of his loss.

Appeal, January 7.1 Ever since the cold snap the Washoe and \iute Indians have been selling jack rabbits in astonishing quantities at figures which have ruled considerably below their usual market prices. Bill Jackson, who has been out hunting and prospecting for ‘a week or ten days past. tells a remarkable story in connection with the bountiful supply of rabbits which the Indians are at present furnishing. A few days ago he visited King’s Cafion, and there he asserts he found acres of jack rabbits frozen stiff on the ground. Rather than shoulder the responsi- lity of the remarkable statement, the Appeal gives the yarn in Jackson's own words: “ You see the cold snap drove the rabbits into the cafion out of the wind.
