THE SUMPITAN BLOWGUN.

The fierce and savage head hunters Of Borneo
go to armed with the same implements with
which the schooIboys shoot peas or pellets Of
clay at unsuspecting citizens as they pass the
ambuscade Of tree or fence. The blowguns used
by the Diaks Of Borneo are called sumptans,
and instead OF clay balls they carry poisoned
arrows. A spear is also attached TO side
% one end Of the sumpitan, after the manner
Of a bayonet on a modern rife. This curious
weapon is about eight feet in length, and not
quite inch in dia meter, and is bored with
the greatest accuracy, q task that occupies a
long tiEle. the wood being very hard and the
interior Of the sumptan smooth and even pol

The surface is OF equal thickness from end to
end.
Among the South American Indians the sum-
pitan is represented by the long, delicate
''pucuna" or the heavy and unwieldy ''zaraba-
tana" All savages use poisoned arrows in their
blowguns instead of harmless pellets Of clay or
putty. Taking few hints from the primitive
warriors and hunters Of Borneo and South
America any boy, with little care and small
expense can construct for himself a blowgun
