the hardest and most daring OF them
will not brave. 1t is desert country
that extends from point near the city
of Durango TO the borders of the state
of Zacatecas, about seventy-five miles
long by fifty miles wide. 1t Is as
serted that myriads of scorpions infest
this region and are the most deadly OF
the species.
In the city Of Durango, although re-
garded as outside of the more deadly
zone, the death rate, due to scorpion
stings. is high. This is especially true
as 10 children. The alachrane, as the
insect is commonly called. is regarded
as such a deadly pest that for many
years the municipal government mas
paid a bounty of one centavo. equlva-
lent TO about one-half cent Of Amerl-
can money, for each one killed ami
delivered to the official custodian OF
dead scorpions. Something like l00,'

system of the United States The road
runs across Nevada. connecting with
Salt Lake City ON the east and Sacra-
mento on the west and passing through
Wells. Elko. Battle Mountain. Winnie

same route which has been adopted by
the ah-Nevada California Automobile
Association for the purpose OF con-
structing a transcontinental route
Estimates for the construction Of a
concrete highway over the proposed
route place the total sum required al
approximately s4.ooe.c The money
for this viii DC raised in part BY the
counties bordering on the road and in
part By contributions from the federal
government and the states OF califor-
MIA and Utah
The northern route was selected be-
,aus- IL has better grades. has more
water by the wayside and runs along
side the tracks of two transcontinental
railroads. the southern Pacinc and the
Western Pacific. In addition II has the
advantage of having 80 per cent of the
population and wealth of the state
within easy access of the road.

TO TEACH BLIND TO DRAW
English Idea Is That Art May Help
the Sightess to Communicate
With Outside Word.

One Of the many experiments Of the
Royal Drawing society has been to
teach people to draw by touch. The
pupil is blindfOlded and feels simple
shape, like hammer Of a spade. and
draws 1t with his eyes open. An adj
vanced pupil has drawn the head Of
classical bust and the mask Of Bee
thOven.
These experiments fired Mr.. c. r.
Albeit. the director of the society, with
the idea of drawing by the blind. He
has devised medium which looks like
the frosted stuff on matchbox made
liquid, by which the draughtsman can
follow by touch what he has drawn
and correct or add to his work. So far
there have been no experiments with a
blind pupil.
| Mr.. Albeit does not claim for 1t more
| than that blind man can draw the
plan or design OF something hi
wishes to record and explain. A blinf
gardener has been known 70 20 int
ecstasies over the unfolding shapes o
a plant, and the drawing Of thes'
shapes, known to him by touch woul,
undoubtedly give him form Of es
thetic pleasure. In any case. II woul'
Increase his means Of communicative
with the outside world.
