TIGERS AND THEIR PREY.
Some Information "a to How They Make
Their Attack.

Their Attack.
A correspondent who has seen a
great deal OF forest life Ia India writes
on the subject Of how tigers secure their
prey. AS general rule, no is in
clined TO doubt the truth of the COM
monty accepted theory that the tiger,
after lurking in ambush. springs on to
the unsusI Getting victim, and, tearing
savagely at his throat, eagerly drinks
his blood. This method of attack
may sometimes be adopted, but 1t Is
far more often the exception than the
rule.
la approaching his prey the tiger
makes the best possible use OF cover,
but when further concealment is i'm
possible he will course deer or other
swift footed animalwith extraordinary
speed. A sudden dash OF 200 yards in
the open Is nothing uncommon, and
the writer mentions the case OF one
tigress which used TO catch hogs or
deer almost daily on a PERFECTLY open
and burned.up plain.
Small animals are, for the most part,
dispatch cd with q blow Of the paw; but
in the case of the moro bulky, the ex-
perierced tiger, leaping on the back of
his victim, grips the neck In front OF
the withers with his jaws, one forepaw
clasping the shoulder of tho animal
and the other fully extended under
the throat. Should he be unable u
crush the spine with his jaws, he will
then Jerk tho head back emily and
thereby break the neck. In removing
his prey the tiger frequently displays
almost phenomenal strength and act
ivity. In one cssc cited, q young I'll
gre:s leaped up perpendicular rock,
some six feet high, with a man weigh
ing nearly eleven stone in her avs,
and on another occasion q male tiger
dragged an exceptionally large buffalo
up bank at least ten feet high.

The tug reached the banks on time. but
the fishing was poor and the sea too rough

water and wind the passengers began to
run around 10 the port side and to
climb on top of the deck house The boat
careened alarmingly to port and the water
swept In over the rail. The terror stricken
men rushed back 10 starboard and the
tug swung deeply down on that side
