The expression on the face Of a cam
ell is rather pathetic His eyes are
large and liquid, and above them are
deep cavities large enough to hold a
hens egg. The aquiline nose, with
long. slanting nostrils that lie can
and hot burning winds Of the de.6rt
give very sorrowful expression to the
face. The under-lip is pouting and
puckering, and you are not at all sur
prised when the poor beast bursts into
tears and cries long and loud like
veXed child.
The feet of the camel are Of very
singular construction, with a tough,
elastic sole, soft and spongy as they
fall noiselessly on the earth and spread
out under his tottering weight This
form of a foot prevents the animal
from sinking in the sand, and he is
very sure-footed on all sorts of ground
The average rate of travel for
caravan is between two and three
miles an hour; and the camel iogs on,
hour after hour, at the same pace, and
seems to be almost as fresh at night as
in the morning when he started on
his travels. The Arabians say of the
camel "Job's beast is a monument Of
Gods mercy"
The camel sheds his hair regularly
once year, and carpets and tent
cloths are made from it, it is also WOW
en- into cloth. Some Of is exceed
ingly fine and soft, though it is usu-
ally coarse and rough, and is used for
making coats for the canel-driycri
and huge water bottles, leather sacks
also sandals, ropes and thongs, are
made of its skin
