QUE IN AFRICA
Explorer Finds Lake Of Dead and
a Strange People.
p. A. Talbot, Who Located Sacred
Body of Water, Describes Weird
Scene Of Place Never Before
Seen by White Men.

Cape Town, Africa-Mr. and Mrs.
P. Amaury Talbot have just returned
to London from Central Africa, where
they had spent two years in an anthro-
biological, botanical and geological sur
vey from the Gulf of Guinea eastward
across the continent. In a statement
issued to the London press, Mr.. Talbot
declares that certain territory he and
his wife traversed had never been Wis
tied by white man before. He said
that In the Southern Nigerian bush he
found evidence of the origin of the
wltchcraft panic, which swept over
England, New England and southeast
ern Europe in the middle of the sew
enteenth century. Said Mr. Talbot:
"The bush, with it's soft green twi-
light, dark shadows, and quivering
lights, is peopled by many terrors, but
among these 'ojje,' or witchcraft,
reigns supreme. Should the suspicion
OF witchcraft fall upon any one, only
trial by ordeal can free them. The
most usual one is that of eating esere,
a poisonous bean which almost in
variably kills the suspected person.
The ordeals of boiling oil poured upon
the palms of the hands and of pepper
corns inserted in the eyes are far less
dreaded, not only because their re-
suits are practically never fatal, but
because the physical anguish entailed
is acknowledged to be less intense
than that caused by esere."
One of the most Interesting discov-
cries was that of the Lake Of the
Dead in the Oban country.
"The name of this lake." said Mr..
Talbot, occurs in many of the tribal
songs, but for long time 1 could not
discover the meaning of the word, and
all inquiries failed to elicit informa-
ton, and when I believed was in the
neighborhood of this haunted spot and
altered my course my carriers begged
to be allowed not to proceed, and were
left behind. After a struggle through
dense bush We could see the edge of a
sheet of water, along the banks of
which were the holes of crocodiles,
whose tracks covered the shore. The

THAT evening we reached a native

On the menu were of course many
familiar dishes, but besides there were
fried bananas sliced crosswise, thin

salad made from cocoanut buds with

chicken with curry and a jelly made

which is awful.
