S01IEAWIUL DEATHS
FEARFUL FORMS IN WHUCH THE
GRIM DESTROYER CALLS
The Ycncrj of a South Anatrnlinn
Spider and the Frljrlitful Asony It
A Grain Tlint Slakes ltd
Victim a n irlngr Maniac
What Is the most awful shape in
which death may conio to mortal man
Not by fm nor by water nor by goii v
shot Tlit se arc mere pleasures to
Borne of thf deaths by which you may
die
The most agonizing of all Is enqsed
by an Insect half the size of a pea a
small black spider It lives In Peru
and South Australia but a few speci
mens have reached Europe and Amer
ica in shiploads of timber Not long
ago a dock laborer was unlucky
enough to come upon one In the Vic
toria docks while unloading a bark
The tiny death dealer dropped upon
the back of his hand and dug It3 fangs
Into his flesh The bite Itself was noth
ing but as soon as the poison began to
work the man fainted with pain Soon
afterward he came to and lived three
days before the end came
This spiders venom scorches up the
blood vessels and spreads through all
the tissues causing the most fearful
agony a human being can have to bear
The worst of it Is that the victim lives
at least two days enduring unthinka
ble anguish the whole time This spi
der is luckily not common It Is known
as the specky and when a man who
knows what the bite means Is bitten he
generally blows out his brains
Another fearful death Is caused by
eating a grain called bhat This
sometimes gets mixed with rice which
It resembles The plant grows In the
east and a few grains of It will drive
one Into a state of violent mania The
victim becomes drowsy at first and aft
erward hilarious then he goes stark
staring mad and tears himself literally
to pieces with his fingers biting mouth
fuls out of his limbs It Is bad enough
to see such a case but as for experi
encing it
This grain Is only found In remote
parts of the east but both white men
and natives are killed by It occasion
ally In the east for the plant grows In
with the rice crops and can scarcely be
told apart but that the dried grain is
of a reddish color
Of course falling Into a vat of boiling
metal as unfortunate workmen some
times do sounds bad enough but It Is
mercifully quick Tfyere Is a South
American vine called the knotter
which is far worse It twines around
any living thing that comes within
reach twisting Us long tentacles about
a man as a devilfish might These
tentacles sear and burn Into the flesh
like white hot wires and the victim Is
dragged Into the heart of the foliage
and his juices slowly drained as a
spider sucks the blood of a fly
All say that the pain is worse than
they could have believed It possible
for a man to feel The knotter Is
well known to scientists and Is In fact
a sort of huge flytrap plant Those
who have strong instincts of cruelty
coupled with curiosity sometimes force
a dog into the grip of the knotter to
watch the effects which are too horri
ble to describe in detail
Again there Is nothing very much
worse than hydrophobia when genu
ine The patient often lives for days
In the acute stage and In his last hours
Is simply tied up in knots and bent
backward and forward like a bow
It Is a very rare disease with human
beings for most people bitten by rabid
dogs a small number at most escape
it In extreme cases the patient act
ually snarls and bays like any hound
and next to experiencing It the worst
thing is to watch a case It is as dis
tressing a spectacle as any man could
witness
There is a snake called the lancer
which lives in South America and is
very ready with Its fangs It Is a small
brown insignificant beast but Its bite
induces a sort of imaginary swelling
all over the victims body He feels
as if every inch of him were being
strained to breaking point and the
agony which results is too awful for
words Generally however the ex
cess of pain drives the bitten man mad
before very long and in four hours he
dies a senseless imbecile y
But all said and done perhapsHhere
Is no death much worse than by the
common disease of cancer which
gnaws at the patients vitals through
month after month of unceasing ago
ny and slays its victim at last through
sheer exhaustion London Spectator
His Little Contribution
One of the many stories told of the
late Dr Wallace M P is to the effect
that when the editor of a local paper
in the north asked him If he would
kindly furnish an article on a lisrht
theological topic Wallace responded
with one bearing the title The Rela
tions Between the Presbyterian Church
nnd Modern Thought When set ud
the article made 40 columns and it be
came a puzzle to editor and printer
how to get rid of it They began by
using it in pieces and whenever the
I printer said to the editor Weve got
no leader the reply was Eh mon
just sneck off about a column and a
quarter o Wallace In this way the
contribution was used first working
down from the beginning then up
ward from the end London Academy
