POISONED ARROWS.
Ih cir Use In Warfare Dates Back to
Prehistoric Ages.

The use Of poisoned arrows in print
tive warfare is undoubtedly Of very
ancient origin. The custom is men
toned by Strabo, Pliny and Aristotle,
all of whom agree that it was we'll
known In both prehistoric Europe and
Asia In later times the Celts and
Gauls enyenomed their arrow and
spear shafts with the juices Of the
hellebore, and the American and Aus
trallan savages with serpent venom
and virus from decaylng flesh.
The very earliest mention Of the
Scythians refers to them as "a people
who prepare arrow poison by mixing
serpent venom with the virus Of putrid
blood serum" At the time of the dis
we'll skilled in the science Of preparing
arrow poison as the Scythians or any
other early tribe Of European or Ash
attic people. The favorite mode as
practiced by the American abOrlgineS
was to kill some wild animal, deer
or buffalo preferred, remove its liver
and cause a heavily envenOmed rep
tile to strike its fangs into 1t until the
meat turned green with poison. II one
serpent did not supply enough, others
We're obtained, and the work Of enrag
ing the creatures and causing them to
strike the liver was kept up until the
desired results were obtained. One
large liver thus prepared would furnish
poison enough to coat the shafts Of TO-
900 arrows The Smithsonian institute
has hundreds Of these poisoned arrows,
the microscope showing that most OF
them have been poisoned with rattle
snake venom.

the Roman courts of law the express
