The Tiger Plague in Java.

According to the administration re-
port of Java recently laid before the
Dutch Chambers, portions of that
island are depopulated through tigers.
In 1882 the population of the village
in the southwest of the Bantam prov
ince was removed and transferred to an
island off the coast in consequence Of
the trouble caused to the people by
tigers. These animals have now be-
come an intolerable pest in parts of the
same province. The total population
is about 600, ,OOO and in 1887 sixty one
quence of the dread existing among the
people it has been proposed to deport
the inhabitants of the villages most
threatened to other parts Of the country
where tigers are not so common, and
where they can pursue their agricul-
tural occupations with greater degree
Of security. At present they fear to go
anywhere near the borders of the for
est The people at present seem disin-
clined or they lack the means and cour-
age, to attack and destroy their enemy,
although considerable rewards are
offered by government for the destruc-
ton of beasts of pray. In 1888 the
reward for killing royal tiger was
raised to 900 horins. 1t appears also
that the immunity of the tiger is in
Iart due to superstition, for it is con-
sidered wrong to kill one unless he at
tacks first or otherwise docs injury.
Moreover, guns were always very rare
in this particular district, and, since n
rising few years ago, have been taken
away by the authorities.
