ENDURANCE AND ABSTINENCE OF CAM
Elsa German traveller, who crossed the
desert between Bagdad and Damascus.
mentions several interesting facts ahont
camels. Orientals do not distinguish be-
tween different kinds of c.mcls us do our
school-books, wherein the name of drom-
cdary is exclusively applied to the camel
with one hump. Their one-humped cam
els are of two kinds heavily built beasts
used for carrying burdens, and finely
shaped animals for riding. The name
drone,lary is only applied by Europeans
in the Etst to the riding camel, the diff
ference between the two Gpecles being
much the same as that between 4 cart
horse and 4 sadde-horse.
The Bac,ri,n camel has two humps. bat
it is seldom met with in Persia, and is
only useful rs u beast of burden. This
traveller did not find the speed Of the
dromedary to be what it is generally rep
resented. Natives, princes, and Arab
Sheiks are said to keep fine herd of
dromedaries, which are said to he swift
trottcrs, and to be able to make long
| journeys. But the ordinary dromedary
| is valuable for its great powers Of endur-
ance and abstinence.
The camelS on which the traveller 5
party crossed the desert made thlrtyslx
miles during Il twelve hours march keep
ing up this pace for 4 three weeks journey
towards the end of which two forced
marchcs. each Of seventy-twO miles in
twenty four hours, were made.
Such endurance seems wonderful. eS
pccally as each camel carried two hun
drcd pounds of baggage, exclusive of rid
er and saddle This weight was gradu
ally reduced to one hundred pounds dur
ing the Journey by the consumption OF
provisions.
These camcls displayed remarkable
powers of abstinence. \ brambr. grow
