Poisonous Root Made
Available for Food

Farinha, a bread made from a pois-
onous root, the mandioca, is the staff
of life Of the wild Indians of interior
Brazil and also of the Brazilians. The
mandioca root, which resembles some
what the parsnip, is poisonous, but the
natives know how to pull it's "fangs."
Each Indian family in the Amazon
basin has section of tree trunk made
slightly concave on one side. This
shallow trough is studded with pieces
Of flint or with large fish teeth set in
the pitch-surfaced board. The women
shred the mandioca root on this primi-
tive crater, and pack the white fluff
resulting in long woven mat tubes.
After soaking the tubes in the water
the contents are suspended from
tree limb to drain and pressure is ap-
piled to them on the principle of the
tourniquet. This operation, which
washes out the poison, must be re-
peated several times before the
farinha can be used as a coarse flour
for bread. For convenience in trans
portation the farinha is made into
cakes a half-inch thick and a foot in
diameter. 1t requires strong teeth to
bite piece out of one of them and
eat 1t, according to white men who
have tried it. The food is wholesome
and nutritious, but rather tasteless.

Fox Fires No Longer
Cause Childish Fear

Boys and girls nowadays seldom ex-
perience the thrill of seeing a mysteri-
Gus light glowing dimly in the depths
of the forest or cleaning from some
half-buried rotten log in a lonely
swamp. The cutting away of the for
ests and the draining of swampy land
have cleared from much of the land
scape the causes which produce fox
fire. In early days, however, the feet
of pioneer children often were sent
scampering home in the twilight when
their owners came unexpectedly upon
a light which seemed to have no
source, says the Indianapolis News.
Ghosts and COLLINS and all sorts of
evil omens ever have been associated
with the appearance of fox fire and
will-o'-the-wisps. There long has been
a difference Of opinion regarding the
cause Of fox fire, but now it is gen.
orally conceded to be due to a living
fungus growth which permeates decay
ing vegetable matter and which pos
sesses the power of emitting waves of
hSHl. No SeuSlDle neat waves dic
thrown out, and in this respect fox
fire resembles the light emitted by
fireflies and glowworms. Many a
ghost might have been traced to its
lair had the origin of phosphorescence
been understood better, especially in
the countries where the will-o'the-
wispS are reputed to be of frequent
occurrence.

Riding a Camel

The biographies do right to call the
camel the "ship of the desert" He is,
indeed. like ship that pitches,
losses and rolls, all at the same time,
In storm.
A little skeleton "howdah" is put
on his back, while his master leads
him by a long rope. The unfortu-
nate passenger sits cross-legged on
top of the camel's very bony back
bone and endeavors to adapt himself
to the rolling, pitching movement. 1t
makes many persons seasick.
The camel has mean disposition,
and is always trying to quarrel with
the other camels in the party, biting
and kicking them, grunting and max
ing a general nuisance of himself.

World Is "Thin Shell"

ut is wholesome for proud man to
look upward on bright day at
some pretty cirrus cloud. to consider
that it is composed of ice spicules,
that it floats in arctic cold, that it
signalizes to us what dollhouse crea-
lures we are. If the roof of air were
removed we should all be frozen to
death in a moment. Just above the
roof is deadly cold, and just below
the crust of earth is deadly heat. Only
within the thin shell that separates
these two regions can the human race
strut about and congratulate itself on
its great powers. "-Henshaw Ward,
in "The Whirlpools Of the Weather."
in Harper's Magazine.
