Men Mad With Pain.
Among the m any peculiar am i dis
concerting plan ts and creatu res Unit
abound in M adagascar, probably none
Is more surprising and disconcerting
tb au the agy tree, so called, w bleb is
not a tree, but a clim bing plant. The
following Incident, quoted by Mr.
Jam es Sibree, F. it. tj. S„ in "A Nut-
] u rallst lu M adagascar," illustrates tlio
painful result of contact w ith the agy.
j T he story is told by a Mr. Moutgom-
, e ry :
W alking under som e trees and push-
I Ing aside the reeds and grass, I w as
j startled by a sudden tingling and
prickling sensation over tile backs of
my hands and lingers. I stopped in
j sudden surprise, for the pain w as so-
! vere, and I had touched nothing ex-
I cept the grass. B ut in another m inute
the pain increased, the tingling, buru-
I lag sensation seem ed to be extending
rapidly up my w rists, and I could see
nothing to cause it. As 1 low ered my
| head to look scalding pain shot into my
ears and neck and grew w orse every
in stan t. Dazed an d bewildered, I stood
a few seconds in helplessness, for I
could neither see nor guess at the cause
of th e terrible distress. Then I got
| hack to my company w ith agony w rit
ten plain enough on every line of my
| face.
T he men started up when they saw
me. crying, "You have been stung by
the agy!” Some of them led m e to a
seat, others rushed for w ater from the
river, and tw o or three brought sand
heaped up In their hands. Then they
chafed me w ith the sand and w ater to
take out the stinging hairs, which
they knew caused Ihe mischief. As
ihey rubbed me I felt the pain abate,
and a fte r they had chafed me for
nbout n q u arter of an hour I w as com
paratively free from pain. W hile the
men w ere rubbing me I w as able to
discern to some extent the cause of mv
distress. Couutlcss hairs, like tiny a r
rows, alm ost tran sp aren t, pointed ut
eith er end and from a third to u fourth
of an inch long laid dropped on me In
an invisible show er from the agy tree
as I stood under i t Before I cam e
aw ay th a t afternoon, very cautiously I
ventured to exam ine th e tree a t a little
distance and found that the tiny hairs
grew outside a thickish pod or shell
not quite so large as a sm all banana.
Tlio pods w ere fully ripe (unluckily for
me) ju s t a t th a t time, and the light
wind w as scattering th eir coverings.
