An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport; or rather the sale of booty is 80
great as TO attract hunters The Arabs
give themselves to it with real passion
Mounted on their fine little horses they
try as much as possible to fatigue the
ostrich. for as it is feet high and has
very strong legs 1t possesses a quickness
of movement which the best horse can
not attain. 1t has great endurance
OVertaken by the hunter it seeks to de-
fend itself with its feet and wings, but
more often it still strives to escape by
flight. uttering plaintive cry In fact
the ostrich is deprived of the power of
flight by reason of its great size. The

limitless expanse.

tours about its nest in a circle. He
chases it then without ceasing until it is
almost there. when, worn out, it sue
cumbs concealing its head in the sand

stinctively hoping to escape a danger
chase requires eight or ten hours. but it
offers large rewards. The plumes are
worth a considerable sum. the skin
makes good leather and the Arabs are
very fond Of the flesh. Beside. in spite
of the fact that it reproduces its species
rapidly. the ostrich is all the time be-
coming rarer. and it is hunted for ex-
port and domestication in other coun-
tries. 1t is one of Africa's great re-
sources and may become a new source

an autopsy on one. doubtless for a time
