Education has been the keynote of
the event now drawing to close, es-
pecially the dissemination on things
agricultural. Beyond any question OF
doubt, there has not been better ag-
ricultural fair held anywhere in the
South this year, either in number or
excellence Of exhibits. This applies
with equal truth to the live stock and
poultry displays that elected admira-
ton from the ablest judges of live
stock and poultry in the United States.
The work of removing exhibits will
occupy two or three days, and it is
hardly probable that the buildings
and grounds will be fully cleared un
til early next week.
Twenty-Five carloads of racing and
trotting horses will be shipped to the
| Harrison County Fair, which opens al
Gulfport on next Wednesday, Novem
Der 9th. Arrangements are also being
made to send choice exhibits to thu
land show at Chicago.

EARTHQUAKE
HARVESTING SEASON in
ARGENTINE REPUBLIC
(By Union Associated Press.o

(By Union Associated Press.)
Buenos Ayres, Nov. 4.-Wheat har-
vesting is in progress today in some
parts of Argentina and another week
or two will see the garnering of the
grain on in full blast all over the re-
public. 1t is estimated by the minis
ter of agriculture that the crop this
year will be the largest In the history
of the country, and the surplus for
export, above home consumption, will
probably reach the staggering total
of at least $4,000 bushels. The
bumper Argentine crop will doubt
less exercise a depressing effect upon
wheat prices throughout North and
South America and Europe.

POISON DESTROYS FEAR.
MYSTERIOUS Mature Makes Deer,
W0unded to Death, Bold.

Curari, the vegetable poison with which the
Indians Of the upper Amazon tip their hunting
arrows, remains a mystery in its composition
after a hundred years of investigation by sci
entists The Indians will sell it for it's weight
in silver, but will not reveal the plants from
which it is derived. Not long ago professor in
German university sent to the Amazon
wilderness for the express purpose of discover
ing the secret, for curari, urari, it is
otherwise called, is now thought to be of great
value in medicine. The professor lived two
years in Indian villages, and while he was per
mitted to witness the boiling of the witches
BROTH which lasted several days, he could not
tell what plants went into the brew. Returning
from his baied quest down the Amazon with a
quantity of the poison. the professor was met
by another traveller, Dewey Austin Cobb, who
had got possession of a native blow gun. The
latter tells in The National Geographic Maya
zine" how he put some of the professors curari
on some of his blow gun arrows, which are like
toothpicks feathered with cotton, and tried 1t on
q buck deer in the forest.
AFTER deliberate aim cur hunter fred, says
MI Cobb, IF 1 may use such word for the
little puff, scarcely heard by US, and entirely
inaudible above the rustling leaves at the
distance of the deer. The animal gave slight
start as it felt the prick of the arrow on its
fank and turned partly around, shifting the air
for scent and looking about as if searching
for the insect that had bitten stung 1t. De-
tecting nothing, it stood still and unalarmed.
At the end of a minute. or a minute and half
at most its head dropped a little, as if it was
sleepy
when the hunter saw this he arose and
stepped out in plain sight. The deer turned his
head and looked at him, and moved forward not
away from him. few steps and stopped. 1t
showed no fear. but simply curiosity. After an
other minute the professor and arose, and all
three walked quiet,y to within reach Of II 1t
made no movement to run away, but watched
us fntently, and shifted its position little Its
movements seemed perfectly easy and natural.

ROMAN ARENAS.
They Were Not Mere Rings as Those
of the Modern Circus.


The arenas of Ancient Rome were
not. as some people suppose. mere
rings or ovals. such as may be seen In
the modern circus. They were broken
up and varied in character according
to the nature OF the fighting to be
done or TO the caprices OF those I'm au-
thoritv.
Il On one occasion an arena might re-
semble the Numidian desert, on an
othersthe garden OF Hesperides. thick
set with groves of trees and rising
mounds, while again it pictured the
great rocks and caves OF Thrace
With these surroundings the corn
batants advanced, retreated, encirclc
their adversaries or kept wild beasts
at bay as occasion offered or as their
courage or fear suggested. Men COM
bated not only with the more common
hrutes, but with such monsters az ele-
plants. rhinoceroses. hippopotamuses
and crocodiles.
On other occasions hocks of game.
such MS deer and war ostriches, were
abandoned to the multitude, and in
some cases the arenas could be turned
into lakes. filed with monsters OF the
deep. and upon the surface OF which
naval engagements took place.-Lon-
