Dyak Warriors Won't Eat Deer For

In rural Germany one still meets
with superstition that be who eats

by lightning. Abstaining from food
during an eclipse is common among
savages; also a belief that in eating the
flesh Of any animal one absorbs that
animals characteristics. Thus an In
dian tribe highly prizes tigers flesh as
food for men. but forbids women to
eat it lest it make them too aggressive.
In the kongO women are forbidden
to eat birds of prey on the same princi-

Among the Dyaks warriors must not
eat venison because it would make
them as timid as the deer. Fowls and
eggs are forbidden to women of a BAN

woman would certainly fly into the
brush and never again be seen. Again.
the flesh of many animals is forbidden

Perhaps the most potent of inf1u-

is not only that we are always men,

means of ascertaining to be uncommon
or ridiculous. but also that the natural
tendencies of our language. unrestrain-

Nero,s Dinin d Room.

Excavators in Rome have uncovered
the ancient dining room Of the Emper-
or Nero. The chamber revolved by
machinery. Underneath were three
vertical shafts. down one of which the
explorer descended for 100 feet with
out reaching the bottom But near one
of the other shafts he found a tank
and below this chamber twenty feet
wide by sixty feet long. with stones
carved as cog wheels, which evidently
represented the machinery by which
the dining room was made to revolve
Presumably slaves furnished the pow
er. Close at hand and under the din
ing room was bath, with rooms for
various bathing processes, the walls
being beautifully decorated with pic
lures. !
