THE DEATH ORCHID.

Powerful Narcotic.
The death orchid or the Venezuelan
Indians has been proved to be no mere
campfire yarn.
Years ago an orchid hunter, Gray
son, set ont to find "El Lugar de los
Flores venemosos"-that Is, the place
OF the poisonous fowers"-which was
said to be located In the dense and
painless wilderness occupying the vast
stretches between the headwaters OF
the Orinoco and the Andes Two
weeks passed without any incident out
Of the ordinary. But q morning
there was a ~perceptible smell of now-
ers in the air. When the orchid hunter
and his Indians camped that night the
jungle smells had been entirely lost In
the cloying scent Many OF the band
refused to go farther.
Az Grayson and the others proceed
ed the rankly sweet and oppressive
odor became stronger. attacking the
senses like a narcotic. One after an
other the remaining Indians collapsed
till only Grayson and the guide were
left, pushing onward. The orchid
hunter felt as II he was being attacked
by the insidIous power Of opium. but
retained enough consciousness to be-
come aware that. cleaning through the
trees ahead. he saw flowers of huge
size and vivid colors. many hued clus-
ters OF them hanging in trails.
II was the death orchidi
When he recovered his senses be
found himself being carried back to
camp. where the rest Of his porters
had remained. Many OF the band
were severely sick and many half wit

Automobile Meet at Galveston.

Veterans Of many hard campo ms
in the sport of automobile racing
will gather o. the smooth beach at
Galveston, Texas, to participate in
the various events scheduled to be
run on August 1910. Men whose
names have been linked with narra-
tives OF narrow escapes from death
many times, and whose wonderful
daring has caused thousands to gaze
with hated breath, have signified
their intention of entering the races
at Galveston to display heir racing
wares before Galveston. ans and
their neighborly cousins from sur
rounding cities throughout the state.
Despite their former trying esca-
pades these veterans are looking Ior-
ward to the beach meet with as much
keen desire for action as the younger
generation of drivers, who Will also
appear in competition against their
more experienced rivals.
/ Judging from the way inquiries
are being received daily by Captain
J. w. Mumm, chairman OF the Rae
ing Committee in charge Of the beach
races, from owners OF fast cars who
reside in nearby cities and who are
anxious to compete in the beach ev-
ents against the worlds foremost
pilots. it seems certain that the en-
try list will be the largest ever OBJ
tanned for a beach speed carnival.
