FIERY sAHUARA JUICE.
The Drink Arizona indiana Get
from the Giant Cactus.
Irwin. Made by Unnumbered Generations,
the Means OF m Annual Orgy
Apache Raids Caused by IT.
"a Birds Drunk, Too.

Irwin is the intoxicant produced
among the most uncivilized Indian
tribes that live away up in the noun
tains, more than 300 miles from civiliza-
ton, on the border land between Ari-
IONA and Mexico. 1t is made, writes a
New York Sun correspondent, from the
fruit of the giant cactus OF the hot deserts
known as the sahuara. Tizwin is in
common use or abuse among the south
ern Arizona Indian tribes. The fluid
has been analysed by the scientific ex-
perts sent into the southwest by the
Smithsonian institution to study the
mode Of life of the most primitive saw
ages int6e union. 1t has been demon
strated that the Irwin of the Indians
to-day Is manufactured In exactly the
same way as it was long before white
men came to these shores The art Of
producing tlzwin has been handed
down through unnumbered generations
from prehistoric times. Thus another
stigma is removed from the white man,
who has been accused of teaching his
poor red brother the use OF firewater.
1t appears not only probable, but GER
tain, that for years before Columbus
discovered America and white mon con-
tracted the habit of chewing and smok-
ing tobacco from the natives the art Of
painting things red was well known in
the quiet streets of the Zuni villages
and the avenues of the seven cities Of
Cibola. Even at that period 1t was
doubtless no uncommon sight for the
good savage housewife to see the part
ner Of her joys and sorrows come reel
ing to the doorstep, making night hide
GUS with drunken song.
The sahuara (Cereus giganteus) is the
largest and most remarkable of the
cactus family and is peculiar to Ari-
zona Travellers through the territory
see thousands of these giant tree cacti
from the car windows. They abound
in the hot sand wastes The sahuara
blossoms In May or June, having large
star-like flowers of pure white with q

golden center. In July or August the
fruit is ripe. Ii is pcar-shaped, being
sateched TO the limb at it's pointed end,
and when mature turns brilliant red
and splits open at the top and sides
like q chestnut burr. exposing to view
luscious red pulp filed with minute
black seeds. 1t resembles strawberry
inn. In taste it is slightly like the
raspberry, though not 50 sweet.
As soon as the fruit ripens the squaws
and children travel miles over noun
tain and plain to gather it in large bas-
kets which they carry ON their heads.
AS these giant cacti are from ten to
fifty feet in height, much of the fruit
is out of their reach, and is left for the
woodpeckers and blue jays, who are ex-
travagantly fond of it, and frequently
indulge to such an extent as to become
stupefed and unable to fly. The
squaws, however, easily gather as
much as they want from the smaller
plants by means of long. thin poles
with wooden hooks dashed at the ends,
with which they pull down the fruit.
Tie gathered fruit is deposited day
after day at common center, where it
is pressed, and the juice is collected
into large earthen ollas. Then some
water is added. The ollas are stored
in q closed dark room, where slow
FIRE is kept up for several days until
the liquid begins to show foam on top,
O sign that it is fermenting. It has
then attained the desired Intoxicating
power, and word passes from mouth TO
mouth and from village to village.
As soon as the welcome news arrived
all of the men fastened to the Irwin
camp to put in their time, Supplying
themselves with frequent draughts of
the liquor and dancing or fighting be-
tS4een drinks. The squaws and chill
dren, who are never allowed TO Join in
the revelry, manage to get their fun
out of the affair by climbing TO the low
roofs of the wiclSiups and viewing the
drunken revels of their lords and mas
tiers. Thus the orgy continues night
and day until the supply is exhausted;
and by this time the passions of the In
dians, naturally fierce and cruel, hav-
ing been inflamed hundred fold, some
one in the crowd utters q warwhoop, and
they leap on their ponies and are off on
raid against the whites. There is
saying among the settlers that the
Apache at best is but devil, but when
his blood is fired with Irwin the father
of evil himself is a refined gentleman
in colnEarison.
AsEsthnara fruit ripens only once
year, It is a twelvemonth between
drinks with the Indians All their
worst outbreaks have occurred in the
twin season. The old settlers who
still manage to worry along in this
sunny cline have good reason to re-
member Irwin time and its recurrence
every summer. To them 1t recalls
many fierce outbreak Of the blood
thirsty Apaches.

CAUSE OF sUNsTROKE.
Expe riments with Dogs Conducted
by Two Frenchmon.
The One That Died Had to Walk In a
Wheel in Very Hot Atmosphere
While the other Merely
Looked at Him.

An experiment in France with dogs
proves that sunstroke is not an effect
due solely to solar radiation, though
that is It's ordinary cause. 1t takes
place also under intense artificial heat.
The stolSers of steamers shut up in
the hold, where they are compelled to
endure extreme temperatures, are sub
ject to it, and it is a fact that the boats
that ply on the Red sea are obliged
during the hot season to have recourse
to negroes or Arabs as engineers and
firemen, since these have been accus-
toned to bear enormously high tenn
peratures Similar effects are OBJ
served In gas works, where the heat
is great,
Taking advantage of this fact that
solar heat is not necessary to the effect
produced, two French scientists, NM.
Laverau and Regnard, have recently
performed some valuable experiments
to clear up the cause of the disease,
which has been much disputed.
Claude Bernard thought that II was
due to a direct action of heat on
the muscular system, causing the coagu-
ldUlOu VI Unc MUSCULAR HDtTS, par
ticularly those of the heart, which were,
so to speak, cooked as if roasted in an
oven. Others have seen in it a sort of
poisoning by the products of COM
bustion that accumulated in the blood,
not being eliminated through the
proper channels. Finally, some have
thought that there was direct action
on the nervous system, causing kind
of abnormal excitement, followed by
reaction.
Messrs. Laverau and Regnard, being
persuaded that heat was only the de-
termining cause of the stroke. and that
it must take place In general state OF
fatigue, placed in tightly inclosed
metal box, heated progressively, two
dogs; one was kept still near the side
of the box, while the other was set at
work in wheel similar to those seen
in squirrel cages. This wheel could be
kept moving from the outside by the
hand or by a mechanical device, SO
that the animal had no chance to shirk.
The temperature in the box rose
gradually to 80, 90, 100 degrees and
more. While one dog sat still, the
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-03-12

other toiled with all his might, being
forced 30 follow the movements of the
wheel. The result seemed conclusive
While the first dog bore without disoon-
fort temperature of from 95 to 11S de-
| grees Fahrenheit, the other became
very i'll at the end of thirty minutes;
his temperature was 1903 degrees and his
respiration 300 to the minute, while his
heart beat so rapidly that the strokes
could not be counted.
When the sick dog was taken from
the wheel at the end Of half an hour he
recovered little by little; when. on the
contrary, the experiment was kept up
and the temperature was raised still
higher, the dog died several minutes
after being taken from the wheel, while
the one that had kept quiet seemed not
to suffer in the least. At 140 degrees
both animals succumbed, but the one
that had not moved held out several
hours
These experiments seem to show
without doubt that fatigue and exercise
facilitate in high degree the occur
renee of sunstrole. This, however,
does not go far enough; do they do this
by raising the internal temperature of
the animal, by preventing the elimina-
ton of injurious products and by thus
poisoning it with it's own excretions?
Messrs. Laverau and Regnard have
Investigated this point also, and they
find that there is undoubtedly very
rapid rise of internal temperature. Ex-
animation of the muscular fiber of the
heart shows that this is not in the least
coagulated or cooked, but analysis of
the blood shows also that there Is no
such accumulation of toxins as would
result injuriously. There is, however,
an excess of carbonic acid, which would
cause a certain degree Of asphyxia-
According to the Frenchmen the most
probable hypothesis is that death results
from action on the nerves; first excit-
ing them and then paralyzing them.
The obvious practical conclusion Is
that in hot weather or in any conditions
of extreme heat it is OF vital Importance
not to become fatigued, and to abstain,
as far as possible, from violent or pro-
longed exercise. Attention TO this will
doubtless save many lives, and if the
result is attained the poor dogs who
persisted in Messrs. Laverau and Reg
nard's box will not have died In vain
