The bushmen In the Kalahari desert iften live scores of miles from places trhero water comes to the surface. During n certain part of the year shnrp storms pass over the Kalahari, cover- ing tho apparently arid region with tho brightest of verdure and Oiling for a tew short dnys the water courses with roaring torrents. The bushmen know how to find water by Migglng in the bottoms of these dried up river beds. They dig a bole three or four feet deep and then tie a sponge to the end of a hollow reed. Tho sponge absorbs tbo moisture at the mottom of the hole, and the natives draw it into their months through tho reed and then empty it into calabashes for future use. The animals that Inhabit such wastes as the Kalahari are of course accus- tomed to living upon very small and Infrequent supplies of water. The Been- anna do not lead their cattle to the drinking places oftcner than once in two or three days. It is said that goats In the Kalahari frequently pass months without water. • Ilie Trained STwae PDablt tad On* Oravo Point It taavolrea.
