HUNTING HYENAs IN AFRICA.-The ruins of
the ancient city of Sufetula, 50 amid which,,
says a recent traveller, !" one might almost fancy
himself wandering through the majestic, time
worn palaces of Baalback,'' are beautifully si-
tuated on an eminence, in the southern part Of
Tunis, in Africa, and abound in holes, cayerns
and clefts, were hyenas resort for shelter
These subterranean abodes of this fierce beast
are generally SO narrow as not to admit the
animal turning in them, and they are frequent
ly captured by the Arabs in the following
| curious manner, as the hyenas must have two
doors, one for exit and the other for entrance.
| The Arabs, lying concealed in the vicinity OF
| these dens, watch the particular hole by which
the hyena enters, and then proceed to place q
strong rope net over the opposite hole, while one
of their fraternity skilled in the business and
prepared with rope, works his way in by the
door which the animal has entered As he
nears the brute (Which cannot turn upon him)
he charms it, saying, g come my dear little
creature; i will lead you to plaeewhere many
earcasses are prepared for you. Plenty OF food
awaits you Let me fasten this rope to your
| beautiful leg, and stand quiet while do sosa
This sentence, or some thing very similar TO il,
is repeated till the operation is etfectualiy
achieved, when the daring son Of the Sahara
begins to gore the brute with dagger till he is
| forced to rush out. when he is caught in the
net. and either killed on the spot or carried off
alive. If any blunder happens, however, as is
some times the case, through which the hyena
is enabled to struggle. and re. enter bis abode,
tha " charmer,s in spite Of, his charming, falls
a victim to its savage rage, and frequently his
without feeling some thing of its effects.
