very largcs (IORCS with impunity. These, facts dmnonstra-La the ab» surdit" of the stories of rattleâ€" snakm and scorpions committing suicide by means of their own venom. It: is asserted that a scorâ€" pion 01' a rattlesnake imprisoned in a circle of red hot coals will sting 'Tlic iclnmumon, the hedgehog and sumo other animals which doâ€" vour venomous serpents exhibit an extraordinary resistance to the ef~ feet of their bites. The natural immunity is explained by the pre- swm-o of antitoxine in the blood of these animals. Serpents :iro ILlSO little affected by their own \Chmm In general it is almost impossible to kill a venomous animal by inocuâ€" lating it with the venom of its own SPOCiPS, of which it can support It is possible to produce in any animal an artificial Condition of imâ€" munity to the effects of any animal 'venon. This is accomplished by the repeated injection of the venom in doses, each of which is too small to cause death. After a larger or smaller number of injections the animal acquires the power to resist the action of many times the quan~ tity of venom that would suffice to cause death if it were injected into the veins of a nondimnunized ani- mal. The blood of the immunized animal now contains a new sub stance, an antitoxin which has the property of neutralizing; the toxin of the venom, and this blood (or rather {he watery part, or serum) may be employed to combat the toxic action of the venom in a non- immunizted animal. The venoms of serpents, fishes, rscorpione, centipedes, spiders, bees, etc, as well as the blood of the eel, owe their virulence to the presence of toxins similar to those. which are secreted by bacteria. In both cases the toxins are specific proâ€" ducts of the activity of living cells. They are very poisonous, nonâ€"crys- tallizablo colloids, of unknown che- mical constitution. The venom toxins are very sensitive to the action of heat and light, are easily destroyed by digestive ferinents and consequently are innocuous when mvallowod. There is a, great variety of these toxins. Snake poison alone. contains half a dozen distinct toxins, each of which exerts a specific action on the nerv- ous system, the rod or the white blood corpuscles, etc. SUICIDE 0F RAT'I‘LESNAKES.
