How Tbey CAPTURE EEyenas.

The following mode Of tying hyenas in
their dens. as prGcjired in AtghGnist3n,
Is given by Arthur Connolly IN his O0er-
lana .Toluuai, in the words of nn Afghan
chief, the ShiIkaree Syud Daoud:
When YOU have tracked the beast 10
his den, You take 2 rope with two slip
knots upon IL in your right hand, and,
with your left holding d felt cloak before
you, You go boldly but quietly III. The
animal docs not know the nature Of the
danger. and therefore retiTes to the bnck
Of his den, but you may always tel
where his heed is by the glare of his
eyes. You keep on moving gradually
toward him on Your knees, and when
YOU are within distance throw the cloak
over his head, close with him, and take
care lie does not free himself. The boast
IS SO frightened that he covers back,
and, thouIh he may bite the felt, he can
not turn his neck round to hurt You; 50
Won quietly feel for his foTelegs, slip the
knots over them, and them with one
strong pub, draw them tight up to the
back Of his neck and tie them there.
The beast Is now your own, and you can
do what you like with him. We g6noT-
ally take those we catch home to the
kraal, and hunt them on The plain with
brides IN their mouths, that our dogs
may be TAUGHT not 70 fear the brutas
when they meet them wild.
Hyeuas are also taken alive by the
Arabs by very similar method, except
that d wooden gag Is used instead Of Il
felt cloak. The similarity in the mode
of capture in two such distant countries
rs are Algeria and Afshanistun, and by

man having died OF a bite received in a
clumsy attempt, we may infer that the
Afghan hyona Is more powerful or more
ferocious than his African cOngenor.
