DEVELOPMENT DUE TO POISON.
Modern Civilization owes Much to
This One Word.

Modern Civilization owss Much to
This One Word.
Poison, as a single word Of the Eng
lish language. carries with 1t more In
stinctive warning and repugnance than
invest any other word in the glossary
OF English speech. Whether spoken or
written, the word at once challenges
the attention and the imagination to
horror OF evil. says the Technical
World. There are only three poison
Gus serpents in the geography of North
America, yet because of these three
varieties alone the whole reptilian fam
lily is condemned to death at sight.
And yet strangely anomalous as It
may appear, the existence Of active
poisons in the animal. vegetable and
mineral kingdom OF nature has done
more for the development OF modern
civilized man than have all the other
innocuous elemental things which alb
original man found to his hand. These
active poisons were mans first stlmu-
lus to thought. Even In the figuratlve
Eden there was one fruit OF which man
might not eat. why notY" was his
frst question and the only rational an
swer was for him to eat and see.
Waving aside the literal Eden as
apocfyphal and metaphorical, the abb
original man was confronted by the
same literal condition as to the things
which he should not eat, or touch, OF
smell. His environment was that of
the torrid zone. Nakedness was his
condition. Exposure to the venoms Of
animal plant and mineral life was a
consequence against which only
quickened intelligence could insure I'm
munity. The fruit Of one plant he dis
covered to be life; the touch Of another
was death. He could avoid the giant
carnivora Of the jungle which would
have searched him out with tooth and
claw but he had little resource against
the creeping. crawling things whose
fangs and stings meant convulsive suf-
fering, horrors and death to his kind.
He knew the sweet waters Of the hills,
but must learn to guard against the
brackish, excoriating waters OF the des-
erts. Why" became I'm this manner
his first voiceless question and the
stimulus OF the Interrogation was the
making Of the civilized man.

Then Best came up and told the story
TO crowd Of eager listeners. The sail

were hurried of to the forecastle, and
the four convicts were taken in charge

"Yoy had better go and turn In,

Pine took a couple Of turns up and

Vichers raised his brows. He had no
experience Of such things; and though
the intelligence was startling, the crowd

hended no danger to himself.

Pine, with a grim emphasis on the word;

Vickers turned pale OF the mention

There Is. Of COURSE, danger to ali of

yes, she's all right, I've no doubt.
She's less likely to take It than any Of
