THE MORNING ASTOWAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. TUESDAY, OCTOBER ifl, 1904 A TROPICAL TERROR. HMt mJI of Mrin TfcU la Uqntrlal Africa. Europeans who visit the grwtt eqna torial forests of Africa ore subject to many risks, but none perhaps so dan gerous as contact witu tno onsuuiouay, or great bull ant, which is said to be the most dreaded of living things to bo found in that rticro. It is gluttonous la the extreme. That which It attacks It consumes on the spot-nothing is carried away for further convenience. Elephants, leopards, gaselle. Nous, snakes, gorillas, monkeys, even the human aborigines of the districts it infests, fly from any neighborhood In which they know it to be located. Ac- , cording to well accredited reports. ; these awe inspiring bull ants travel like locusts, in vast armies, marchiug ' In a line txr inches or more broad and miles in leugth. One of these armies has been known to take twelve hours to pass a given point These ants pre fer the shade and. rather than he ex posed to the rays of the blaring sun. will burrow tunnels under tne surrace , of the ground and thus travel until ' they come to the shelter of trees. Any animal which, unaware of the proxlm Ity of the bull ant and reposing in the solitude of the velt, happens to be attacked has no chance of escape. It Is devoured with Irresistible fury, and within a few minutes a pile of bleached bones marks the spot where It reposed. A great deal of valuable information about this dreaded creature has been published by a French toologist, M. dc Challler. who has described a personal encounter with the bull ant "I re member well the first time I met the basbikouays on a raid. I knew nat what was in store for me. I was hunt ing by myself, when suddenly the for est became alive with the foe. A scd den dread seised me, and I stood still In the hunting path, resting on my gun. Suddenly, as if by magic, I was cov ered and bitten everywhere. I fled in haste and foond refuge- in a deep stream, yet even then the strong pinch ers of the ants would not give way, and though the bodies were torn off the heads remained. The native tribes, when a man is condemned for witch craft, generally fasten him to a tree before an inroad of these ants. After they have passed a shining skeictxi lone is left to tell the tale." THE SCENT OF SICKNESS. Ml Dlaeuea, It Is Claimed, Hare : Tswir Ckaratrterirtie Odora. The acuteness of the sense of smell Is far greater in many of the lower ani mals dog, for example than in man. and they employ it ia guiding them ta their food, in warning them of cjv prnnchlng danger and for other pc? poses. The sphere of the susceptibility to various odors is more uniform and extended In man, and the sense of smell is capable of great cultivation Like the other special senses, It m:i.r be cultivated by attention and prac tice. Experts can discriminate quali ties of wines, liquors, drugs, etc. Dis eases have their characteristic odors. Persons who have visited many dif ferent asylums for the insane recog nize the same familiar odor of the in sane. It is not Insane asylums alone, but prisons, jails, worknousfes, ariniw in camp, churches, schools and nearly every household that have characteris tic odors. It is when the insane, the prisoners and the soldiers are aggre gated in larpe groups or battalions that their characteristic odor is recog nized. Most diseases have their char acteristic odors, and by the exercise or the sense of smell they could be util ized In different diagnoses. For example, favus has a mousy odor, rheumatism has a copious sou; smelling, acid sweat A person af flicted with pyaemia has a sweet n ui seating breath. The rank, unbearable odor of pus from the middle ear tea,; the tale of the decay of osseous tissue. In scurvy the odor Is putrid, in chron ic peritonitis musky, In scrofula like stale beer, in intermittent fever like fresh baked brown bread, In fever am moniacal, in hysteria like violets or pineapple. Measles, diphtheria, typhoid fever, epilepsy, phthisis, etc., have characteristic odors. Philadelphia Rec ord. Fair Warning;. An old time English barrister was John Williams, a sarcastic wit and 1 bachelor with an intense prejudice against marriage. His clerk one day asked blm for a holiday to get mar rled, and some months afterward, on entering bis chambers, Williams found his dead body suspended from .the door. He engaged another clerk and asked him If he was married. "No." the clerk replied, but thinking that Wil liams would regard marriage as a guarantee of steadiness be added, "but I am going to be." "Very well," re plied Williams, "but understand this when you hang yourself don't do it herer - : ;- ' Fixing- Her Face, . She started, recoiled and then beuf anxiously nearer her mirror.
