S. D. Salmon, clerk in the auditors de
partment of the customs house, says the
Boston Record has received from a man
who returned a short time ago from Africa,
a specimen of the iavelin in use among the
widest African tribes. 1t is a cruel weapon
The steel blade or spear part is about 1S
inches long and two inches wide 1t is an
eighth of an inch thick in the middle, taper
ing to a sharp edge on each side. The end
is pointed, 1t is a combined spear and cut
and thrust sword. On the other end of the
wooden handle is thin, pointed, bayonet-
like piece of wrought iron, which has Jagged
notches cut into its four corners. Letting
it touch the floor makes a great hole, so
heavy is the whole affair, The two instru-
ments of destruction make it possible TO
strike behind as well as before, and make it
the best weapon for hand-to-hand conflict
that could be conceived of by the most
blood thirsty savage.
