a robe thrown about him, stalked into
Statuary Hall and mounted a pedestal.
Then he quickly threw off his garments
and struck a heroic attitude in a com.

the would be statue and rushed him off
to the station house.

MhsnDo Animals Roar

There is an almost universal belief that
the lion roars when he is hungry, and in
wild state when in search Of prey, but the
writer ventures to say that, like the bears
hug and other almost proVerbial express
siOns of the kind, the idea is altogether
erroneous. Probably certain verses in the
Bible, more especially in the Psalms,
such as "The lions roaring after their
prey" etc, and passages of a similar ma
ture have given rise 20 this impression.
But, let it be asked, would so cunning an
animal as the lion, when hungry and in
search of his dinner betray his approach
and put every living creature within
miles of the spot thoroughly on the qui
vive, by making the forest echo again
with his roaring? Assuredly not, for a
more certain method of soaring his prey
he could not posi- bly, adopt. All quad
rupeds, more especially the deer tribe,
well know and dread the voice of their
natural enemy. Even domestic animals
instinctively recognize and show fear on
herring the cry of a wild beast.
In India the sportsman when out in
camp during the hot weather months
often finds himself far away from towns
and villages, in some wild spot in the
depths of the jungle. Here the stiffness
of the night is constantly broken by the
calls of various creatures lnhabiting the
neigh DOfln g IOreSC-Jne Qeepj solemn
boot of the horned owl, the sharp call of
the spotted deer, or the louder bell of the
sambur. But these familiar sounds at
tract no notice from the domestic animals
included in the camp circle But should
a panther on the opposite hill call his
mate, or a providing tiger passing along
the river bank mutter his complaining
night moan, they one and all Immediately
show by their demeanOr that they recog-
nize the cry of beast of prey. The old
elephant chained up beneath the tama-
rind tree stays for a moment swaying his
great body backward and forward, and
listens attentively. His neighbOr, gray
Arab horse, with pricked-up ears, gazes
uneasily in the direction the sound APP
reared to come from, while the dogs, just
before lying painting and mOtionless in
the moonlight, spring to their feet with
bristling back and lowered tail, and with
growls of fear disappear under the tent
