AN AFRICAN POISON STORY.
Strange Phenomenon Seen In the
of the Dirk Continent.

Strange Phenomenon Seen In the
Northeast of thu Dark Continent.
Charles NJ. Stern, of Chicago, who has
just returned to this city after a jour.
ney through northeast Africa, told of n
curious. meteorological phenomenon
which he observed in a district called
Gwallah. "The vegetation in that re.
gion is very luxuriant," said he, land
the plant life must give off an unusual
ly large quantity of carbonic acid gas,
At least that was the conclusion
reached after seeing three natives die
and four or five dogs.
The moment the animals put their
noses close to the ground they would
fall over and gasp, and die in about five
minutes. The natives who died slept
on the ground instead of in hammocks,
as others did. | saw hundreds of dead
birds. My theory is that a stratum
of the deadly gas covered the ground
for a depth Of three or four inches, and
any living thing breathing in that area
would be asphyxiated.
Il could not understand, however
how the gas was not distributed in 8
thinner layer, and what kept it in ont
place for a whole day. Nothing like II
had ever been known there before. The
deaths of the men and the dogs all oc
Cured within "a hours. Then the gas

presence had not excited distrust.
got away as quickly as possible, rather
than be accused of being the cause O.
the sudden deaths. The natives ar,
superstitious and attribute most O
their misfortunes to w~itchcraft, so
thought it the part Of wisdom to ge
