Poisoning the water of a pool la he remarkable method employed to atch fish by the TupuyB Indians, who well In the wilds of Brssll, says the lationai Geographic Megasine. The <lud uf poison used 1* apparently ! Harmless to human bslnfi, so thut the Hsh captured In ihle way are oaten ihe same ns If they were taken by rod or net. Perhaps partly because It is against the law to poison streams in brazil the Indians are shy about let ting strangera see him fishing In the Xncestral style. However, a traveler who had lived among them for a cou ple of years, was at last admitted Into ; their confidence and permitted to view the operation. Arriving at a pool In the stream In ' the woods, the men of a party ,<>f In dians divided Into two groups, one of i which went up and the other down stream a little distance, stripped to the skin, entered the water and walked toward each other with splashes and shouts, driving the fish Into the pool. A man was left on guard at each end of the pool, while the other climbed out and dressed. A woman meanwhile had been grat ing "bnrbasco" roots, which resemble horseradish, with the horny dried tongue of a red flab The grated root was put Into about two quarts of wa ter. and the mixture was thrown, a tittle at a time, into the pool at differ ent points. About two minutes later tiny fish came Hooting to the surface up. They revived, went down and came up again 10 stay longer. After ten minutes all the small fry were per manently on top and the larger flsh were struggling with the effects of the poison. When twenty minutes had gone by the surface of the pool ex hibited numbers of Hsh from eight to twelve Inches in length, and the In dians began to gather them In with long-handled scoop nets. A bushel basket was almost filled with the catch. Most of the victims were a species of catfish, although there were many specimens strange to Northern ang lers. The fish were broiled beside the stream and heartily partaken of by the assembled men. women and children. The white spectator hesitated at first to Join in the poison feast. In order to reassurs him an Indian mixed sev eral spoonsful of the poisoned water with a dipperful of other water and drank It down without any ill effects, and upon seeing which the traveler Joined safely In the repast. The In dians said that the little Hsh left float ing In the pool were dead, hut that the uncaptured larger ones would re cover from the effects of the poison, ms It gradually became diluted in the 1 water. , Plan to Oil Oesan Bouts.
