GornIas In Battle.

'"rhe prevailing belief that g~orillas
use clubs when they attack each other
or their enemies is an entirely erro-
ecu one" writes II traveller. They
do noticing of the sort. and how such
al impression ver came to exist or
how old time African explorers ever
came TO formulate such n theory is be-
yond my comprehension. During =
long s%ojourn In that country | had am
pie opportunities to learn the truth
about them, and what | discovered
there vas subsequently, confirmed dur
ing a protracted hunting trip in Bor-
neo.
THE fact is that in fighting each
other or In attacking or defending
themselves from other enemies they
depend entirely upon their teeth,
which are abnormally strong and
sharp and cut like II razor. They are
clumsy on their feet. hut the enormous
strength of their powerful arms more
than makes up for this deficiency. In
fighting they almos. invariably attack
the faces or the limbs of their adver-
saries.
"In the case of human beings or
members of the monkey tribe the goril-
las favorite point of attack is the
hand and especially the finger"

In many OF the provinces of Holland
there is a marriage custom in vogue
which is as curious as any to be found
In a years search through South Az
r1ca.
When a Dutch swain falls SO deeply
in love hat he feels 1t imperative to
breathe the story of his affections into
the ears of his loved one, he starts out
for her home. bearing In one hand a
sweet seed cake wrapped In paper. Ar
rived at the family residence, he en-
tiers the living room, and without ad-
dressing the girl lie places the cake
upon n table near her. II she opens
the paper and begins 10 eat. ii is a
sign hat the love suit is acceptable to
all.
But II the cake is left upon the table
untouched then the lover must look
somewhere else for a sweetheart.
Sometimes the girl leases her lover by
dallying with the cake before eating.
In case she refuses him the whole af-
fair Is kept entirely secret. and no one
outside the family is e the wiser.

Concerning Drowning.

1t was stated recently by a gentle

seldom due to cramp. but to apoplexy
resulting from sudden cooling. The

as some persons swallow water and
strange on first immersion. sinking
but once. while others may sink and
rise fifty times. A man who has saw

drowning person cannot be TUNED by
u blow in the face. but that he can he
handled by pressing the thumb under
the ears and ducking his head until

From early times pestilence has been
regarded as one of the accompani-
ments of earthquakes. Nor is this per
haps a mere Pigment OF superstition.
Many instances of epidemics following
upon earthquakes are on record. says
the Lancet. Thus in 55T-6O A. D.,
earthquake years, Constantinople was
visited by II pestilence. and In 615
A. d.. after more than n eca OF seis-
mic disturbances which extended from
Japan to the Mediterranean. the whole
Of Italy was visited. according to sligo
MUS, by n fearful epidemic. of which
the nature is not recorded. Old writ
ers, such as Von Plenciz, an authority
on the Lisbon earthquake OF 1885,
were wont to attribute the proneness
to disease exhibited by whole popula-
lions during earthquake season to
shaken nerves begOtten of prolonged
suspense and broken rest at night.
