When she pretended to be shy and let

And maybe she will let me teach her

ert in South Africa often live scores Of
miles from places where water comes
to the surface. During a certain part
of the year sharp storms pass over the
Kalahari, covering the apparently arid
region with the brightest of verdure,
and filling for q few short days the
water. courses with roaring torrents.
The bushmen know how to find water
by digging in the bottom OF these dried
up river beds.
They dig hole three or four feet
deep ard then tie sponge to the end
of hollow reed. The sponge absorbs
the moisture at the bottom of the
hole, aud the natives draw it into
their mouths through the reed, and
then empty it into calabashes for fu.
ture use.
The animals that inhabit such
wastes as the Kalahari, are, of course,
accustomed to living upon very small
and infrequent supplies of water. The
Bechuana do not lead their cattle to
the drinking-plsces oftener than once
in two or three days.
1t is said that goats in the Kalahari
frequently pass months without water,
and, according to Mr.. Mackenzie, there
are certain antelopes which are never
seen to visit the drinking.places.
In that enormous waste, known as
the Cobb desert, north of China, show.
ers sometimes fall during the summer,
and the torrents of day fill the dried.
up water.courses through which water
seldom runs.
Is is in these channels that the Mon
gols dig their wells, expecting to find
little water, when upon The surface of
the plateau itself the soil has lost all
traces of humidity. It is owing to the
fac: that q part of the moisture falling
during few rainy days, is thus pre-.
served within reach that it is possible
for caravans to cross the desert.

to ninety feet. 1t is usually about IS
thick as the upper part of the human
arm. It winds itself loosely around
trees, chambers up to their SUBMITS,
and then falls down perpendicularly
to the ground, where it takes root
again.
The natives cut this vine off at the
ground, and then, at height OF six or
seven feet, they cut it again, which
leaves in their hands very stout piece
of wood little longer than themselves.
In order to obtain its sap, they raise
the lower end of the vine upon some
support and apply the upper end to
their mouths.
The section of the vine, while show.
ing smooth, apparently compact sur
face is pierced with many little veins.
through which the sap flows freely.
Six feet of the vine gives pint OF wa.

the taste. Doudreau says that it

David Lindsay, who explored the
great Australian desert, says that the
whole of that almost waterless country
is inhabited by natives who get their
water supply by draining the roofs OF
the malice tree, which yield quanti.
ties of pure water. This tree, absorb
ing moisture from the air, retains it
in considerable quantities in its roots,
and thus makes it possible to live in
an arid region, which would otherwise
be uninhabitable.
There are people in other parts OF the
world who get their supply OF water in
a peculiar way. The explorer Con-
dreau, for instance found, while wan
dering in the western part OF Guiana,
that it was not necessary for his men
to descend to q creek when they
wanted q drink of water. A vine
known as the water vine is found ell
through that region. 1t yields an
abundant supply of excellent drinking
fluid whenever it is called upon.
This vine grows to length of sixty
