A Malay Water Slide.
In Porak, a stale In the Straits Set
tlements, the Malnys~huvc one form of
amusement which Is probably not to bo
enjoyed anywhere elso In tho wide
world.
There Is a huge granite slope In tho
course of a mountain river, down which
the water trickles about two Inches
deep, the main stream having carved
out a bed by the side of the bowlder.
This rock, tho face of which has been
rendered as fUUOOth as glass by the con
stant How of water during hundreds of
years, the Malays -uien, women and
children have turned Into a toboggan,
Climbing to the top of the rock, they
sit In the shallow water with thoir feet
straight out and a hand on each side
for steering and then slide down the
sixty feet into a pool of water.
This Is a favorite Bp >i't on siiuny
mornings, as many as 2t>o folks being
engaged at a time and sliding so quick
ly one after another or forming rows
i of two. four or evon elghj persons that
they tun?'.kTInto tho pool a eon fused
mass of screaming creatures. There Is
iilHe danger in tho game. and. though
some choose to sit on a piece of plau
tain, most of the tobogganers are con
tent to squat on their haunches,

Do Alilimit* Itonlly Think.
"Wo so habitually Impute thought t,o
nnlnisls that we como unconsciously to
look upon them as possessing this pow
er," writes John Burroughs In Har
per's Magazine. "Thus the dog seems
io think about his dinner when prompt
ed by hunger or about his home and his
master when separated from them. The
bird seems to think about Its mate, Its
best, its young, Its enemies, The fox
seems to think about tho hound that it
hears haying upon Its track and tries
to etude It; the heaver seem 9 to think
about its dam, tho muskrnt about 11 i
house In the fall, tho woodpecker about
tho cell in the dozy limb which it will
need as a lodging place lu Hie winter -
that Is, all those creatures ncl as if
they thought. We know that under
similar conditions we think, and there
fore wo impute thought to them. But
of uiental Images, concepts, processes
like our own, they probably have none.
Innate or inherited impulse, whU'h WO
call instinct, and outward stimuli ex
plain most of the actions of the ani
mals."
Tin- MyKnlc Tarantuln,
The Mygalo tarantula sometimes
spreads over six Inches square, but
more frequently lour or l.ve inches. A
shaggy coat of hair covers the surface
of the great spider. It is supplied with
f?lx long, bony legs and two dangerous
pcdlpnlps, or strikers, each nrmed with
n sharp sling and poison Bite. Tho
strikers are frequently mistaken for
two long legs, jritt1-fr:>!" J*f? -'Jscs the
Idea that the creature has stings Oil its
feet. Two powerful projections, re
sembling jaws, protrude from tho head.
Under each of these Is a curved pol?OU
fang, similar to a cat's claw, but longer
(exactly like those Of a rattlesnake),
which may bo lifted, extended and
hooked Into the victim. A person thus
j fttung or bitten must cut tho tarantula
; awny at once, for tho spider does not
?rem willing to unhook its fangs.
