In Komo inatanevs tho tock Is weighted with some heavier metal than steel. While the machete Is a heavy weapon, it in usually so. nicely tolanced that it is easily handled. It Is not primarily a weapon of war, but is used as <i necessary agricultural Implement for tUio cutting of sugar cane, tlio clearing away of the dense under brush found In all tropical ami semi- tropical forests, nnd. has an any other ubom lu the ordinury doniestlo economy of the West Indian, Central and South Ameri can peasantry, .
