DEADLY WEAPON OF SAVAGES
African Tribes Use Poisoned Arrows
Which Inffict Death That Is
instantaneous.

The most effective weapon Of the
Nasal and Andorobo is the arrow
which they poison with the Accan-
lhera schimperi, a small tree, accord
ing to a National Geographic society
bulletin. They boil the leaves and
branches until the mixture becomes
thick and pitch-like in appearance, and
place it on sheets of bark which they
hide high on the branches of trees
away from children, until it is needed.
When an animal is shot with an arrow
dipped in the poison, it dies almost i'm
mediately. The natives cut out the
flesh around the wound as soon as pos
sble and throw it away. The remain
der is eaten and the blood is drunk.
This love Of blood as an article of food
is common among many African tribes,
several of them going so far as to
bleed their cattle and drink the blood
hot or mix it with their porridge.
