that all females who looked as if they

FATAL LEAP.
How = Lion and An Antelope Met

But for the large herds of different
sorts Of anteIopes, says Chatterbox, the
lions in Africa would fare but hardly for
their food. Swift as they are, it is often
said that q lion can run down most ante
lopes through sheer speed; but, whether
there is any truth In this OF not, it is not
often that the king of beasts captures his
prey in this manner. Much more after
the feline nature. he likes to conceal him
self and to lie in wait, springing out upon
his prey.
In our illustration il is clear what has
happened. Using the slight cover af-
forded by mimosa thorn bush, the lion
has waited patiently while three ante
lopes were grazing and getting nearer
and nearer, little suspecting the presence
of their terrible enemy in ambush only
few yards from them. Crouching lower
and lower, in order to avoid being seen,
the lion has waited until one Of the luck

In addition to this probability of de-
