THREAT THAT IS EFFECTIVE Caylonsta Creditor Have a Remark, ably Effective Method of Enforc ing Collection!. faia natlra of Ceylon Is an Intract able creditor. Ho possesses nn lrri alstlble method of securing payment without recourso to tho bailiffs, cita tion, Judgments, duns or summonses which fall like hall about tho oars of European debtors. The Ocylonese creditor betakes him to the houso of the man who owes him money, holding In his hand some leaves of the neungsle, an extremely poison ous plant, and declares that, unless he Is paid on the spot ho wilt polMon him self. The dobtor pays up without hesita tion. At homo lie would of course simply lauch In the face of the shoe maker or tnllor who made such n threat, and tell htm to go ahead; hut In Ceylon thero Is a local law which Imposed an enormous fine on nnyone who Is tho cause of the suicide of an other. And there Is no case on rec ord In which n creditor was permitted to carry out his threat. Tho question, however, seems to be whether tn tho faco of an nbstlnntc refusal to pay, the creditor would not bo wlsor to lose his money than Ms life. St. Johns Grocery (Formerly C. S.

British Oulana Is noted for a rare Dib, the piranha, which, though hardly bigger than a herring, Is ferocious to the point of Incredibility, it will at tack other fish and bite Inrgo pieces out of their fins and tall, will assault the steering paddles of a boat, anil has nn known, when In force, to kill men. The piranha Is n notorious can nibal, devouring; any of Its comrades whe may be wounded or In dllllcul Uits. One traveler In llrltlsh (lutann tells that lxi cresting the l&iMiUlbo his boat wounded a wild hog that wits mvlm mUff across. A shoal of piranhas settled upon the unforturmtn hog. In a minute the water seemed to be boll- ' lag, so great was tlio activity of the little demons as they tore away pieces 1 of tho flesh. Hut even the piranha has Its uses. Home Indian tribes leave their ilinil la the river for tho piranhas to strip the bones, and then preserve the skeleton, dyed red, as a family heir-loam. ST.

In the reign of the Clilncm; emperor, llo-ang tl, In 2(lt)H II. 0., ii certain ce lestial discovered that If n narrow splinter of loadstone, or natural mug nstlc Iron ore, found In Asia Minor, was placed upon a plere of wood and the latter allowed to limit In u bowl of water, the Iron would Invariably point In a north and south direction. This crude derlre was Improved by the addition of n circular wooden card on which 24 rays were drawn Kuril one of these linns was given u name, and the whole thing was called a "lint; na-chlng," which Is Hie Chinese word for compass. The south point of the circle was dignified with u dlUltiKUlxli Ing mark, tn the same manner as niher nations today Indicate the north point of their conimsseH by u fleur dell or an arrow.
