IT is said that for short distance a
lion or tiger can outrun man and
can equal the speed of fast horse, but
wild animals lose their wind at the
end of half mile at the most. They
have little endurance and are remark
ably weak in lung power. Their
strength is the kind which is capable
of terrific effort for short time. It
would take six men to hold a lion down
even after the legs were tied SO that he
could not use his paws.

To find the rarest bird in existence
you must go to the mountains between
Anam and Loas, where there is a GER
tain kind of pheasant. For many years
its existence was known only by the
fact that its longest and most splendid
plume was in much request by Man
darins for their headgear. A single
skin is worth $500 and the bird living
would be priceless, for it soon dies in
