appetite, he is sedentary by inclination, but
he can find his game with very little trou-

ally their numbers decline, but in certain
years they positively swarm. Then the dogs
subsist on them; they fatten the poultry and

r. is q matter Of common observation
that the lordest sounds are not always
made by tie largest animals. Inc roar
of the lion exceeds in sonorousness ''is
crv of the elephant. ANY one VINO 1, M'u
only heard without seeing buiiiros
might well suppose that its fearful voice
hreal,inr the silence Of the night must
certainly come from the throat OF an IN
;mal of formidable dimensions.
But perhaps the most remarkaoie case @
of vocal power in an animal IS ina. Re r,
lated by a recent traveller i'll the hl9n
lands of Borneo. He was informed o.
natives that they had heard tiger roar
inc in the neighborhood. Such news
always startling to stranger IN the Jutl
ylos nf the east and hardly less SO TO IN
natives. =,
ADMINISTRATION was accordingly set o
foot. which resulted in the discover
that the alarming roars had been EN-, r'e
hx q toad! This toad OF torneo' hoN
thah 14i inches around the body.
That the natives should not have re
ognized the true source of the SCUM
shows that the existence of such toai
was either unknown to them, or that, .
any rate, they had never discovered II
remarkable vocal capabilities of the an
m:ls.-Youth's Companion.
