The Cainel's HUM.

Where did the camel gel its hump?
Be It known that camels did not or
iglnally have humps on their backs.
SO says Prof. Cattaneo. OF the Italian
Institute Of Science. The proof that
they did not and the explanation OF
why they have them now ID given BY

sands OF years before the first llama
carried a load upon Its back the camel
had been dOmesticated and was used
for the transportation of burdens.
1t Is upon this point that the Italian
savant rests his theory as to the forma-
ton of that animals hump. In the be.
he says, the camel, like the
Hama, was straight of back. but hun.
dred centuries, perhaps, OF making a
pack animal Of the camel have brought
about the change, At first the skin

there and upon its knees the skin grew

When, however, ships come near the

the frail craft all bllndly upon these

dangerous coasts for centuries before
