Many an mails can swim wscn nut

cumstanccs they never take TO water;
and in 9 same way other animals
can climb trees although their man.
ner Of life seldom requires them 10
do so.
Mr.. II II. Ialiot mentions at least
three instances In which tigers have
been seen to climb trees One su h
feat was witnessed by a manager of
Mr.. ElliOts own estate.
He had wounded tiger and ran
to cut OF its retreat. On rea hing a
favorable point for that pu pose he
tried to climb into a tree, but failed,
and went off and took scat on tho
hillside.
Presently the tiger emerged from
the jungle, went straight to the tree
and began scraping the ground and
roaring. Either he smeIb the man
ager's tracks. or had seen him trying
10 get into the tree at all events
the tiger deliberately went up the
tree, paw after paw, till he reached
the first b anches Here he paused,
looked the tree over aud then came
down backward, and was shot while
descending.
MI. Elliot obtained measurements
OF the tree, and found the first
branches sixteen and a half feet from
the ground.

island is volcanic, and 10 one spot
the emanations from the interior of
the earth are so deadly that the place
is called the Valley OF Death. AS
the traveller approaches it he is at.
tackled by nausea and giddiness lie
also notices suffocating smell. As
he advances these symptoms disap-
pear, so that after passing through
the belt OF fetid air which guards
the valley, the visitor is able TO ex.
anime with less risk the spectacle
before him. The valley is oval,
about one mile in circumfere and
from thirty to forty feet below the
level Of the surrounding land. The
floor OF the valley is fat and dry,
without any vegetation; and scat.
tered all over it are the skeletons OF
men, tigers, wild bears, birds, and
stays, lying among large blocks OF
stone.
The hills which hem in this valley
of desolation are clothed from base
to summit with healthy trees and
bushes A traveller descended the
side OF one hill, with the aid of a
bamboo stick, to about eighteen feet
from the lbottom, and compelled
dog to go down to the plain In five

breathe for eighteen minutes; and d
fowl only resisted the deadly air foI
