We ran to him. Craig turned him
over gently on his back and examined
him. He called No answer. Michael
was almost pulseless.
Quickly Craig tore off his collar and
barred his breast, for the man seemed
to be struggling for breath. AS he did
so he drew from Michaels throat a
small. sharp-pointed dart.
What's that?" / calculated, horror
stricken.
"A poisoned blowgun dart, such as
is used by the South American In
dams on the upper Orinoco," he said
slowly.
He examined it carefully
What is the poison?" / asked.
"Curari," he replied simply. 1T acts
on the respiratory muscles, paralyzing
them and causing asphyxiation."
The dart seemed to have been made
Of quill with a very sharp point, hol-
low, and containing the deadly poison
in the sharpened end.

handled it.
'oh, that's all right" he answered
casually. IF | don't scratch myself,
am safe enough. I could swallow the
stuff and it wouldn't hurt me-unless

internal cut"
Kennedy continued to examine the
dart until suddenly heard a low ex
clamation of surprise from him. In

In the reports of the war in Europe
1t is frequently stated that the adj
vance lines of the armies threw up In
trenchments, and it is difficult for the
ordinary reader to understand how
this is done, for to him anything like q
fertilization appears to be matter OF
considerable time and labor, which
could not be accomplished with the
enemy raining shot and shell. What
these projections are and how they
are formed is clearly explained In the
special war issue of the Scientific
American.

fered great losses, or the ammunition
may be running low. At all events. It

It must remain where 1t is-some OF
the men find natural cover, but many
must provide artificial protection from
the enemy's rifle fire. The men are

cover from rife fire to a man lying

man in soft ground, using the portable
