Vision Caused by "cohoba."

DR.. w. e. Stafford, of the government
plant bureau, recently identified the
mimosa-like tree, which grows in Haiti,
Porto Rico and other islands Of the
Antilles, as the producer of a queer
powdered drug called "cOhOba," which
the natives used when Columbus first
arrived at the island of Haiti, The
seeds of this tree are yielded in pods,
which are roasted and ground to pow
der, which is sometimes mixed with
lime from calcined snail shells.
The tribal wizards, or priests, while
sunder the influence of "cohOba," were
accustomed to hold communications
with unseen powers, and their mutter-
ings were construed as prophecies and
revelations of hidden things. The pow
der was used as snuff, and was In
hailed through f0rked wooden tube.
The forks were inserted in the nos
trils and the lower end Of the tube
buried in little heap of the snuff,
which was held on tray Of carved
wood. Sometimes large snail shells
were used as snuff boxes.
The natives used the snuff on cere-
monial occasions. 1t produced sort
of. hypnotic state, with visions sup
posed to be supernatural. The chemi-
cal properties of the drugs are still un-
known so that its intoxicating prin-
ciple remains a mystery.
