THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY. AUGUST 20.1914. Natives Sprinkle the Water With a Poison and the Fish Jost Naturally Come to the Surface and Die. DIP ARROWS THE SAME WAY Fishing and hunting with poison, as practised by the natives of Brazil and other tropical American countries, is described in a communication fo the National Geographic society at Wash- ington, D. C, by Dewey Austin Cobb. "Brazil. Is certainly the lazy fisher- man's paradise," he says. "It was only after two years' residence among the secretive Indians that I was re- luctantly taken Into their confidence sufficiently to be permitted to join them on one of their fishing excur- sions. We followed the stream for half a mile or so, to where It spread out into a pool, perhaps fifty feet across. The men divided Into two parties, one going up and the other down the stream a few rods. They then entered the stream and, thrash- ing the water with their feet and with sticks, returned, driving all the fish before them Into the pool. Throw Poison on Water. "Meantime one of the women had grated. some of the mysterious 'bar- basco* roots, resembling horse radish, into about two quarts of water. This was thrown into the pool at various points. In about two minutes we be- gan to see minute fish come to the surface, belly up, remain a few sec- onds, and then disappear. In ten min- utes all the small fry were on the surface, apparently dead, and larger and larger ones began to go through the same performance. With a long* handled scoop net, the leader nearly filled a bushel basket with fish from eight to twelve inches long In half-an hour. "Some of the fish were broiled, but I hesitated about eating them. The leader, surmising my reason, took sev- eral spoonfuls of the poisoned water and, mixing it with a dipperful of water, drank It down. It had not the slightest effect Upon him. Never did I enjoy broiled fish more. To all ap- pearance, the fish remaining in the stream, except the smaller ones, were affected by the poison only through their respiratory organs, and ex- perienced ho lasting injury. "In hunting, the arrows, which are dipped in poison, consist of a point of wood or bone,, not more than an inch long, and the size of a toothpick, to which Is attached a little tuft or hairy fiber of the silk cotton tree The gun Is a straight bamboo tube, from five to six feet long, with a sight at one end and a funnel-shaped expansion to fit the mouth at the other. The principle is precisely the same as the schoolboy's tube for blow- ing putty balls, •> Even the most ex- pert natives can shoot only a short distance, as compared with firearms, but their accurmcy^ls wonderful." * Hew They Shoot Deer. Mr. Cobb gives the following de- scription of the shooting of a deer: "A good-sized buck walked out of the corn and stopped, exposing to us its full broadside as we lay Some thirty feet away. Our hunter fired. The animal gave a slight start as he felt the prick of the arrow on his flank, and turned partly around, sniff- ing the air for a scent, and looking around, as if searching for the in- sect that bad bitten him. Detecting nothing, he stood still and unalarmed. At the end Of a minute or so his head dropped S little, as if he was sleepy. The hunter stepped out In plain sight Sleeveless of Taffeta a Late Summer Novelty New York, August 18. The magic name of Newport brings forth visions of societys elite enjoy- ing the pleasures of the ocean breeses and the beach In bathing suits much better suited to the drawing room, ex- cept for their length, than to the briny deep. But for all these visions, prac- tical or impractical, Newport is the place to find the ultra smart in sum* mer clothes. At Bailey's Bench.

Very large flowers are placed at the belt, sometimes being the only color on the costume. Skirts of the crinoline Influence are trimmed with ruffles of lace and have casques of colored taffeta. What would our great grandmothers say to such a combination? Capes of every description are used and are made of all sorts of materials from linen to broadcloth, and faille silk. These are sometimes lined and sometimes not, often finished merely with a binding of braid In black or the same color as the cape. The smartest ones are short in front and long in the back with deep collars. Corduroy and velvet are also used for these capes and for other wraps this summer.
