A DREADFUL WEAPON.
The slash'ns Sharks Teeth Club o.
the PoIynosians.

the 0to0uln0 onATHS hlSS" S'~S
the PoIynssians.
Clubs were the weapons of primitive
and savage man. Ancient specimens
from Mexico are heavy sticks grooved
along the side for the insertion OF
blades Of bosidian-that is, volcanic
glass. The Sioux club is dat piece
Of wood. curving and widening away
from the grip and terminating IN
spherical head, which in modern times
carries long spike, while the blades
of several butcher knives are common
~ inserted along the margin. The ma
tional museum of the United States
possesses a great variety Of these
shocking weapons, designed, as the
frontiersmen say, to 'tknock down the
white man and then to brain him and
cut him into mince meat" The Kings
mill islanders and other Polynesians
make dreadful slashing weapons by re-
curing rows of sharks teeth along q
haft Of wood.
These weapons vary from a few
inches to sixteen feet in length, and 1t
has been said that in all the range Of
weapons devised by mankind there Is
nothing more blood curdling to behold.
They show how the sword may have
been evolved from the club even by
tribes unacquainted with the use OF
metals. African weapons, again, are
exceedingly complicated owing to the
acquaintance of the natives with iron.
The standard club Is converted into a
sort of tomahawk by the addition Of
blades or into primitive spear by the
addition Of sharp spud. The plain
clubs in the African area are used
chiefly for throwing.
The small knobbed clubs, or "ker-
ries," such as are found among the
Kafirs and other African tribes, are
generally used as missiles. Whereas
the club proper was soon brought to
perfection among savage tribes and
was long ago abandoned as weapon
of civilized warfare, the missile typi-
fed by the thrown clubs or "kerries"-
is still being improved upon in boom
erangs, bows and arrows, crossbows
and firearms.
