Peer, A GREAT SNAKE COLONY. An Australian Enthusiast Has a Fine Col­ lection of Venomous Reptiles. Mr. J. McOarvie Smith, an eminent bacter iologis t of Sydney, Austral ia , i s the proprietor of probably the greatest collection of snakes in the world, says the New York World. lie is in the business partly for scientific purjx>ses and partly for business. He advertised some time ago for 500 venom­ ous, reptiles, but one publisher refused to permit the advertisement until he had satisfied himself of the sanity of the scientist. The different species of venomous snakes in Austral ia , , so far as known, number 42, and Mr. Smith has speci­ mens of a l l of them. The poison ex- , t raeted from the rept i les is largely used in the Pasteur institute in Paris. --Mr. Smith is an enthusiast--on--the- subject of snakes, and regards them as the most wonderful of living creatures, lie has in his collection serpents that have gone near ly a year without food and are still fat. He. has injected some of their own |K>ison into them without 1 he slightest ill-effects to them. As a result of his invest igations hi*has estab­ lished the fact that a non-poisonous snake is not affected in any way by the poison of t he-venomous species. "Why." said Smith, "it does not kill one of its own species while'it is so fatal to other creatures is one of the myste­ ries of t he Almighty which we cannot unravel."

People w ho dine late at night in a certain uptown restaurant may have noticed a well-dressed, wild-eyed, hag* gard-faced, dyspeptic man devouring night after night with apparent relish dishes which only the ultra brave have co it rage '<> eat more than once a month. That man- is an artist, says the New York World, and eating indigestible food is a part of his business, for he is a maker of posters. Since the use of grotesque posters, built on the lines of Aubrey Beardsley's phantom fan- cies'and on the principle of Chimpanzee Johanna's savage sketches, has become general as a means of advertising news­ papers it is no more than right that the world should know how the de- si gns are conceived. The case of. this wild-eyed, haggard- faced, dyspeptic artist alone will be cited. His may or may not be the method used by all the better pester makers. Every night he goes to this uptown restaurant, eats a welsh rab­ bit, a cold broiled lobster, two cream rolls and a dish of ice cream and drinks a quart of cheap claret. Then he goes home, drinks two glasses of ice water, ret ires and the nightmare does the rest. In the morning he sketches the hor­ rors he saw in his dreams and finishes "them as the orders for posters pour in. lie is making a. fortune in the business. U. P. BARNES JULIA A.

The Philatelist 's Collection as a Soujce of Danger. Having successfully disclosed the hy­ gienic dangers.' adherent to the kiss, the telephone receiver and the tow'el, medical science has now turned its at­ tention to the perils that beset the philatelist's art. According to Dr. Unna, says the Science News, a patient was recently attacked by a peculiar parasitic growth in the beard. On male- ing a t minute examination of some of the hairs, the doctor recognized the dis­ ease as "piedra," which is chiefly met with in British Columbia. The doc­ tor's friend had never been in Columbia, but he frequently received letters from correspondents there, and, being a col­ lector of postage stamps, he was in the habit of removing them from the let­ ters. In Dr. ITnna's opinion the gum oil the postage stamp is an excellent material for retaining any disease germs that it may receive from the ap­ plication of the tongue, and in remov­ ing stamps--even when moistening is done with the sponge--there is always a danger that the^collector's fingers may receive and communicate tke con­ tamination. ° Turned,the Tables. When a schoolmaster entered the temple of learning a few mornings ago he read on the "blackboard the touch­ ing legend: "Our teacher is a donkey." The pupils, expected there would be a combined cyclone and earthquake, but the philosophic pedagogue contented himself with adding the word "driver" to the legend, and opened the school as usual. s . - : Near tjie Iron Bridge, McHenry, 111.
