SKILLFUL IN USE OF POISON
South African Bushman Had Weapon
Which In Othar Hands Might
Have Btn Invincible.
The htihmen, Africa's pygmies of
the South, who succumbed ao quickly
to civilisation, sre becoming rarer
every day. Famine, war and the white
nutn's encroachments have killed off
thousands, t
The one great achievement of these
children of the woods la their skillful
use of poison, In the hands of s mors
subtle peopls the poisoned srrow might
have been an Invincible weapon, but
for the huxhmnn It only delayed Inev
itable defeat.
The bushtnan'a arrow la a toy of
light reed until he turn It Into a
certain death desler by covering the
tip with one of his favorite poisons.
A certain caterpillar of the Jungle, the
most venomous snakes and spiders,
pohe-nous roots and leaves all yield
their power to kill to the use of these
natives.
Sfiut men of the tribe prepare the
poison for their purpose, usually heat
ing them In a dish before el'pplng the
dtirt Into them. While wnltlng for their
poisonous brew to cook, the ixilwin con
coctors dance about the tire in excite
ment at the coming hunt or combat.
Skulking In breathless silence upon an
Imimlnnry enemy, they suddenly leap
up and discharge the fatal arrows,
sfter which they shift easily to the
pft'l of the victim, and writhe and
howl with sll the agony of the hunted.
Exhaustion and the completion of the
poison put an end to this vivid rehearsal.

LIES FAR BELOW SEA LEVEL
Forbidding Death Valley, In California,
Was Fermsrly the Bed of
Salt Lake.
Desth valley. California, Is said to
be the lowest dry land In the fnlted
States; It Is 278 feet below sea level.
The nsme of Death valley la gruesome

effect the mountains thereabouts are
cslled the Funeral range.
While Death vnlley Is the lowest
dry hind In the country Mount Whit

from the point of lewest depression. Is
one of the highest points of land in
the fnlted States, Its summit being
H.oOl feet ahove ses level.
Death valley was formerly the hH
of a stilt InUe and Is IV) miles In
length. A small lnlt nmrh still oc
cupies s part of It. There are few
phices In rvmh valley where fresh wa

Itennett wells nnd Sara toga springs.
For the greater part of the time
Death valley la a gigantic furnace of
burning hot shifting sand dimes. At
times this strange desert is filled with
wonderful colors. The air I very dry,
nnd st dawn the light Is very white
and minus the mist usually associated
with that time of day. Gradually a
faint azure tint appears and deepens
shove the gray-tan dunes. As the sun
rises over the desert the pastel tints

shades nntll st noon the very stmos
I phere vibrates Into hot vividness.

Old Publications.
An odd bit of the past turns np In
a list of old publications soon to be
sold at auction, namely, to give It Its
full, Imposing title. "A Sermon
Preached nt White-Chapel, In the Pres
ence of Miiny Honorable and Worship
ful, the Adventurers and Planters for
Virginia." snd "Published for the Ben
efit and Use of the Colony, Plunted,
and to bee Planted there-and for the
Advancement of their Christian Pur
pose," The Kev. William Rymonrts
preached that sermon, notes the Chris
tian Science Monitor, and described
Virginia ss a land "with the fruitful
ness whereof England, our mlstresse,
cannot compare, no, not when she Is
In her greatest pride." Yet he preached
to rather a sorry congregation, sava
history, largely composed of imml-J
grants wno nan railed at home through
bad habits little calculated to help
In new country.
BstUs of the Giants. .
According to Brewer's "Htatorle
Note Book," neither the battle of Wa
terloo por the battle of Austerllts was
known as the "Battle of the Giants."
but the battle of Marignsno was so
designated. Tills battle was fonght
on September 13. IBIS, and during
which the allied French' and Venetian
smiles under Francois I snd d'AlvIano
defeated the allied Italian and Swiss
armies. The carnage was very great,
as 12,000 of the conquered and 4,000
of the Tlctors were left dead and dy
ing on the field. Trivulzlo, who had
been present In 18 pitched battles,
called them all child's play compared
with this "combat of the giants."
. Question for Debate. "' ,
Judging hy union standards, the
good ' lady In Proverbs, belauded as
she has been for centuries, set a
most questionable example. Her
price might he above rubles, but
what business had she to "rise -up
early In the morning, before It was
yet light" and continue all day 'her
Jndustrlal - pace-settlngT It eouldnt
have been good for her husband either,
for all we hear of his activity Is thst
he praised her" and that he "sat In
the gates" which latter I take to be
the Biblical equivalent of sitting on
tiie porch of a country store with his
fret on the rnlj, taking all her labor
for grunted. FKchnnge.
