CAMPH0R's TRAIL OF BLOOD.
The Cost In Human Lives For Gather
ING the Punsent Drug.

The Cost In Human Lives For Gather
ing the Punsent Drug.
Every drop Of camphor you use Is
estimated TO have cost at least its
weight In human blood. There are
few things which demand a heavier
toll Of lives than this pungent drug.
which Is SO widely used for keeping
moths out Of our clothes and for max
Ing liniments and other remedies.
The reason for this Is that the noun.
tainous parts OF the island OF Fornosa,
from which the world gets most Of its
camphor. are inhabited by head hunt
ing savages. whom the successi' In.
vaiers Of the island have been Unable
to subdue.
These savages are quite alive 10 the
value OF the camphor trees and fierce
ly oppose all attempts 10 get posses
sion Of the forests Their hostility
makes the gathering OF camphor a
most hazardous occupation and one In
which a loaded rife Is the most indis-
pensable tool.
Since the Japanese took the island
after their successful campaign against
China In the nineties they have been
carrying on a carefully conceived plan
Of gradual penetration Of the valuable
camphor regions. They make paths
six feet in width through the virgin
forests. At intervals Of every 10
yards stands a guardhouse. and every
fourth or fifth guardhouse is a small
fort, intrenched and defended by barb
ed wire entanglements, such as are
being used on the battle grounds OF
Europe. Telephone intercommunica-
ton. machine guns and all the re-
sources Of western military science
are employed. and the lines are pushed
gradually forward
In spite Of these elaborate precau-
tions. the loss among the camphor
gatherers amounts to hundreds OF
deaths annually.
1t Is calculated that Formosa con-
tains about a million camphor trees,
some 10000 Of which are cut down
every year. At this rate the supply
will be exhausted In hundred years,
but when the country is thoroughly
pacifled there Is no doubt that the Jap.
anese will see that reafforestation Is
properly undertaken and an inexhaust.
ible supply insured.
The savages who are making 80
much trouble are estimated to number
about 10000, and further twelve
years will. It Is thought be required to
subdue them.-New York American.
