During a march of IS miles on one desert
in the southwestern corner of our country,
says the San Francisco Argonaut, party
of government surveyors counted $50
graves of victims of thirst along the trail.
At one point family of eight was buried.
These foolish people carried their water
supply in large demijohns. The bottles
were broken and the precious fluid was swal-
lowed by the sand. Mother, father and
children lay down beneath a mesquite-bush
and died the most horrible of deaths. The
bodies, broken water bottles and dead
horses We're found just as they fell. 1t is
the custom on the desert to bury all bodies,
and mark the graves with crosses of stones
imbedded in the sand.
The air on the desert being intensely dry,
causes rapid evaporation from the body.
Observation proved that nine quarts of
water was daily needed by one mau to pre-
vent the blood from thickening and becom-
ing feverish. Each mule required 20 gal
Ions daily. One surveyor was without
water for several hours. He became fever
ish and light-headed. Lack of water for a
few hours longer would have killed him.
This was in a shade temperature of 120
degrees, where the air was almost abso-
lutely dry-so dry that fresh meat, instead
of putrefying, simply dries up. Thirst on
the desert is horrible. The victim feels
pain between the shoulders; the tongue
thickens and feels filled with needle-points
the eyes become painful, and, finally, any
movement of the body causes eXcruciating
pain. AS the blood thickens the brain
gives way, and the victim is a raving ma,
MAC. Death soon ends the suffering.
