WARNINGS OF NATURE.
Signals of Safety and Danger That
Men Should Heed.
For those who have eyes to see
them kindly Nature hangs out signs
of all kinds. She only asks that
men will use their eyes, says Fear- j
son's Weekly. If they can and do
so, she will never hctray them. She
has both good and bad signs, which
are as plain in their way as red or
green lights to a railway engine
driver.
For instance, what is called the
low country of the northern Trans
vaal is partly healthy, partly fever
ish. In one spot you may camp in
safety for a month; in another, not
a mile away, the dreaded fever will
seize you in a single night. To un
educated eyes there seems little or
no difference in the outward aspect
of the two places, but your old pro
spector is never caught camping on
fever ground. He knows the fever
tree too well. The fever tree is an
odd and sinister looking piece of
vegetation, with twisted, greenish
trunk and branches, and grows only
in those spots where fever mist
hangs at nightfall.
So, too, in Florida when a hunter
is traversing the immense swamps?
"hammocks," as they are called?
which cover huge tracts in tho
southern part of that state, he
searches for a spot where pine trees
rear their tall heads among the cy
presses and gums. There he can
camp and sleep in safety, though to
spend a night but a few hundred
yards away from the pines might
mean a bore rackimr dose of acue.
Many an Australian explorer has
f>een saved from a horrible death by
thirst because he has known the
water malice. This tree, though it
may stand in the midst of a burning
desert, invariably tells of water be
low the surface. If the traveler bo
wot too far gone to dig he will find
the precious fluid below the mallee's
roots.
The Mississippi storm of 1784,
which is generally supposed to have
been the worst gale that has ever
been recorded and the result of
which was to wipe out nearly twen
ty settlements, flood 10,000 square
miles of land and permanently
change the course of the great riv
er, was preceded by a strange and
at the same time inexplicable moan
ing sound, which went on for three
days and seemed to come from the
upper air, although below all was
still. The Indians heard it and left
for the high ground; the whites
beard it, stayed where they were
and were drowned. |
