MOST TERRIBLE OF DEATHS.
Spiders Bite Probably the Worst
Known TO Scientists.

What is the most terrible death In
the world? The following are few
of the most terrible known TO mortal
man. but as to which OF those given
Is the worst It would probably be hard
to say.
One Of the most agonizing deaths
known Is caused by small black
spider half the size of pea. IL lives
in Peru and South Australia. but a
few specimens have reached Europe
and America in ship loads OF lumber.
Not long ago a dock laborer while UNI
loading vessel in the Victoria docks
felt one upon his hand. This death
dealer dug its fangs deep into the
mans flesh. and as soon as the poison
began to work he tainted with pain.
He was dead In three days. This
Spiders venom scorches up the blood
vessels and spreads through all the
tissues, causing the most fearful az
ony a human being can have 20 bear.
The worst OF Il is that the victim
lives at least two days. The spider
is generally known as the "specky."
When a man who knows what the
bite means becomes the victim he
generally blows out his brains.
Another fearful death is caused by
eating grain called "bhat" This
sometimes gets mixed with rice. which
Il resembles The plant grows In the
far east. and few grains OF 10 will
drive person into a state OF violent
mania. The victim becomes drowsy
at first and afterwards hilarious. then
he goes raving mad. tears himself to
pieces with his fingers and bites
mouthfuls out OF his flesh This grain
is found only In the remotest parts
OF the east. but both white men and
natives are killed by il occasionally.

crops. and there is no way OF telling
them apart. EXCEPT when the grain Is

How Bear Play.

In a recently published work a nat
uralist gives some interesting facts
concerning the playtime OF animals.
The bear is supposed by many TO be
rather solemn animal. but he is
given TO pranks at times, and even
INDUCES In antics that closely re-
semble games played by children.
The naturalist observed three cubs
repeatedly playing a game very much
like tag. A cub would chase the 9th
ers. until ne cuffed one with his paw;
then the one hit took up the chase.
II may be that the writer's magma
ton put more system into the play
than actually was there. However,

DRINKING IN INDIA.

In a recent issue of the London Tenn

population. II Is shown from recent
