CHINESE TRlCKERY.
Traders Who Keep Their Victims In
Financial Slavery.

Traders Who Keep Their Victims In
Financial Slavery.
Dishonest travelling merchants In
China find Q particularly lucrative field
In which to ply their labors, with the
result that almost unbelievable conss-
quences come to light now and then.
Some traders. taking advantage Of the
simplicity Of the Mongolians. make an
attractive display Of goods such as the
natives crave to possess, and tempt
them to purchase what catches their
fancy.
Woe to one who Is beguiled to walk
into the snare, for the glib tongue Of
the travelling merchant win soon In
duce him to take possession Of that
particular article to which his atten-
ton is directed at any price demand
ed. II he has something to offer In
exchange fleeing stops there, but In
case he has nothing to give in return
a great calamity will befall him.
The vendor will assure him that he

equivalent In value to 80 or 40 per cent
Of the price Of the goods advanced, as
interest, everything will be satisfac-
tory. However, the merchant on re-
turning seldom collects the price, but
Is satisfied with carrying away the
promised interest, leaving the pur-
chaser in debt so that he can forever
milk him.
Thus, 1t is not rare to see some
Mongolians working for the payment
Of usurious interest on a debt con-
tracted by their fathers or even grand
fathers as the result Of having fallen
a victim to one of these tricky Chinese
peddlers.-Argonaut.

MONSTER WATER BUGS.
One Of Them Can Grip and Easily Put
to Death a Frog.

One Of Thsm Can Grip and Easily Put
to Death a Frog.
The frogs worst enemy is a monster
water bug which inhabits the tropical
waters of both North and South Amer.
lea. This water bug is one Of the
largest aquatic insects. 1t is called a
giant by comparison with other bugs,
but 1t is much smaller than any Of the
frogs on which 1t preys. Yet 30 pow
erful are its legs that 1t Is sure death
for the frog that gets within their
grasp.
The two principal joints Of the FORE
legs fold down on one another, and the
stouter of these two has a groove
along its front to receive the sharp
inner edge Of the next joint, much as
the blade Of pOcketknife folds down.
In the pools and the estusries Of
tidal waters these giant bugs hide
among stones and rubbish, from which
they dart rapidly to attack passing
frogs and occasionally fishes. The vic
tim is clasped by the bugs forelegs,
and the deadly beak between its two
compound eyes Is plunged deep into
the flesh.
This Is not q case of taking toll
merely Of the victims blood, as in the
case Of many other sucking insects; It
Is speedily followed by the death Of
the bugs victim. This appears to be
due to copious supply Of liquid from
around the base Of the beak, which
finds its way into the puncture.
Professor Locy has traced this to q
pair of glands In the head Of the giant
water bug. Their secretion produces
death very Quickly.-New York Amer

Why Water ousnehss Thirst.

Thirst, a word Of Anglo-Saxon origin
and akin to the Latin torreo and our
torrid or parched, describes a peculiar
sensation of dryness and heat located
In the tongue and throat Artificial
thirst may be produced by the passage
Of a current Of air over the mucous
membrane of these parts, but normal
thirst Is the consequence Of lack of
liquid in the system. The agony Of ex-
trems thirst is due to the fact that all
the Tissues sympathize In this distress.
II is then as a refreshing relief that
a supply of water comes to thirsting
lips, replacing what has been lost, cool
ing the parched palate and rapidly
removing the craving which has de-
pressed the system. In short, water
quenches thirst just because It supplies
what at the moment IL wanting and Is
most eagerly desired, 80 that Solomon
could properly compare the gift Of
''cold waters to a thirsty souf' to the
advent Of good news. Thirst II to
some extent appeased by the injection
of water into the blood or body, though
no fluid touches the part to which the
sensation IL referred
