Some New Found Indian Tribes.
The great table land < f Matto ‘ i-c.so,
in the western part of Brazil, Is still one
of the least known portions of South
America. When L>r. CLpKss and L>r von*
den Steiner pe/ietrate-i it several years
ago, and followed the large Xingu river
from its head waters to the Amazon, they
floated down about l,ooomiles before they
leached the known portion of the river
They did not have time to adequately
study the strange and unheard of Indian
tribes they met amid these dense forests
and barren uplands, and for the purpose
of making further researches among them
Dr. von den Steinen returned to the upper
Xingu last year. lie visited the villages
of nine of these tribes, and in a recent
lecture in Rio do Janeiro he gave the in
teresting results of his studies.
There is hardly a corner of the earth
whose people have not had some inkling
of the great world beyond them. But
theso primitive natives of the upper
Xingu had, apparently, never seen a scrap
of trade goods or heard that human beings
existed outside their littlo circle of
observation. They use no metal iinple
meats, but fell trees with stone axes to
clear the ground for their plantations of
Indian corn, cotton and tobacco Wearing
shell ornaments, they use hammers and
nails of stone to perforate them They
make knives out of shells and the sharp
teeth of a certain fish, and with these
poor tools they carve their rudely orua
inented stools and weapons.
Dogs and fowls are found in all parts of
the Amazon valley that have been visited
by traders, but these Xingu tribes have
never heard of them Neither have they
any knowledge of the banana, sugar cane
and rice, with which natives of the
tropical zone are generally familiar They
Lave not the slightest conception of a
God, but they believe they will live again
after death. Their most important myth
relates to the creation of the world,
which, in their view, consists wholly of
the head waters of the upper Xingu and
Tapajos rivers.
From the languages and pottery of all
but one of theso tribes the explorer de
rived the idea that these isolated peoples
are allied to the original stock of the once
powerful Cariba, who journeyed from the
south to the sea. One tribe differed so
greatly from all others that he was unable
to trace its relation to any other people.
These people arc almost wholly isolated
even from each other, and their languages,
though of the same derivation, are so
dissimilar that the tribes cannot under
stand each other. Few people exist today
who are so primitive in their ideas and so
low in. the social scale as these new found
Indians of South America. — New' York

An Execution in Siam.
In the center of the field two
stakes had been driven into the gru
and to these when the executioners L~
finished their meal the prisoners walked
slowly out without anyone to guard them.
On arriving at the stakes they again
prayed; they sat down with tlieir backs
toward the stakes, to which their arms
wore tied, after which an official wall,
out, blindfolded them with strips of linen,
filled their ears with clay, and then re
tired with his assistants, leaving the con
demned men alone in the middle of the
field. About two minutes after the exe
cutioners walked out armed with Japanese
swords and sat down some thirty paces
beyond the prisoners. They sat thus for
perhaps a minute; then rose and ad
vanced toward the doomed men, execut
ing fantastic dance like figures, almost as
if cautiously approaching an enemy, till
they came within striking distance, when
they raised tlieir swords as if to strike,
but instead of doing so turned round and
retired to where they started from. After
a short pause they advanced again in tho
same manner, but, on coming Ciose,
stopped down and looked fixedly for about
ten seconds into the faces of the prison
ers. who sat perfectly motionless, and
then again retired. Tho third time they
advanced, and, as in the first instance,
raised tlieir swords as if to strike, but in
stead of doing so they turned round and
again retired. Then they knelt down,
and, bowing toward the commissioner,
called out, in Siamese, that they awaited
bis order.
Ou receiving the word they advanced
toward the prisoners more quickly than
before, and when within reach, after
standing for a few seconds with their
swords poised in the air, proceeded to cut
tlieir heads oft'. The head of the man
who had begged for his life was taken off
at three blows, but seven or eight were
struck before the head of the other—an
immensely powerful looking man, with a
thick, muscular neck —fell. The moment
tho first man’s head fell his executioner
ran off to a temple close by to perform
certain rites, tho other executioner fol
lowing as soon as his victim’s head was
off.—Chicago Herald.
Contagiousness of Leprosy.
The contagiousness of leprosy still con
iines to be a mooted question. Dr. Rake,
superintendent of tho Trinidad Leper
hospital, lias made a report to the British
Medical association which embodies the
results of his experiments in the cultiva
tion of the germ of leprosy, the bacillus
leprae, which have been under way for the
past four years. Ho says that (1) at a
tropical temperature and on tho ordinary
nutrient media he has failed to grow tho
bacillus leprae; (2) in all animals yet ex
amined he has failed to find any local
growth or general dissemination of the
bacillus after inoculation, whether be
neath the skin, in tho abdominal cavity,
or in the anterior chamber; feeding with
leprous tissues has also given negative
results; (3) he has found no growth of the
bacillus leprse.when placed in putrid fluids
or buried in the earth. He further says
that an inquiry of kind is practically
endless, so varied are the conditions of
temperature, time, nutrient media, living
animal tissues, or putrescent substance,
and so many are tho observations neces
sary to avoid or lessen the risk of errors
of experiment.—Science.
In the Presejico of a Spores
The scojirge which makes readers of
telegraphic dispatches from Florida trem
ble appeals to a vague sense of horror
and dread. It tells how helpless are we
in the presence of a plague which is only
a despicable little living thing, so infin
itesimally little that we can neither see,
nor touch, nor paint, nor kill it. If a
Marks or Shepherd could only photograph
it; if wo could go netting fer its coveys;
if wo could discover it3 habits and ring
bells and catch its swarms in beehives; if
we could build great fires in tho streets
and make streets and houses perfectly
dry and force air currents burdened with
these flying spores into flumes; if wo
could see tho shape aud how these littlo
creatures move, wo could perhaps de
stroy them. But art and learning and
genius aud the truest heroism, ever illus
trated in self sacrifice, are all impotent
and uhcrowned and lmmili.ited in the
presence of a spore.—Dupre in Birming
