Poison Guards Gems
In New Guinea Island
BY E. E. FREE, PHI. ID.

The legend of poisonous valley in
the island of New Guinea, where vast
treasures of diamonds lie openly on the
ground, but are unreachable because of
some mysterious death-dealing poison
which strikes down any one who VEN
lures near, Is to be investigated by the
methods of modern science.
Many times repeated in native folk
lore, this story has more definite sup
port from the account OF one survivor
of pair of European prospectorS who
penetrated to this valley some years
ago. When he had made his way
back to civilization, this man described
how he and his partner found the valley
and saw the diamonds, but how the
partner fell dead while STOPPING to pick
them up.
The lucky survivor who had not
stopped to reach the treasure was Irish
and not without the superstitions of his
race. He incontinently fled. GeologistS
to whom this form of the story is fa-
miliaf have long suspected that it is
quite real, the explanation being the
presence of some dangerous gas, prob
ably either carbon monoxide or carbon
dioxide.
These gases probably seep out of the
ground into the treasure valley, either
to poison the unwary visitor or to de-
prive him of oxygen and thus insensibly
to suffocate him. Similar instances
have been encountered in caves,
abandoned mines and near volcanoes.
It Is now reported in the East Indies
that corporation plans renewed search
for the poison-guarded treasure, the
prospectors to be equipped with the
newest types of gas masks. which are
relied upon to stop any poison, as well
as with instruments to detect the dan
gerous gases and to counteract them If
they ara found.
