Sometimes he drops into the human

the Austrian scientist. who made .
most thorough study OF the ancient
customs Of the Incas. says: During
divine Worship the priests chewed coca
leaves. and unless they were supplied
with them 1t was believed that the
favor of the gods could not be pro-
pitiatsd. It was also deemed necessary
that the supplicator for divine grace
should approach the priests with an
'acullico' In his mouth. 1t was believed
that any business undertaken without
the benediction Of coca leaves could
not prosper, and to the shrub itself
was rendered. During an interval OF
more than 800 years Christianity has
not been able to subdue this deep
rooted idolatry, for everywhere we md
traces of belief in the mysterious pow
ors Of this plant. The excavators In
the mines Of Cerro del Pasco throw
chewed coca upon the hard veins Of
metal In the belief that 1t softens the
ore and renders 1t more easy to work.

tasted food and took only two hours
sleep each night, but at intervals OF
two hours and half or three hours he
repeatedly chewed about half an ounce

continually in his mouth. l was con-
stantly beside him, and therefore had
the opportunity OF closely observing
him. The work for which had en-
gagged him being finished, he accom-
panied me on two days journey
across the level ground. Though on
foot, he kept the pace Of my mule and
halted only for the chaccar (chewing).
On leaving me he declared that he
would willingly engage himself again
for the same amount OF work and that
he would 90 through 1t without food II
