STALKING A PEACOCK.

The gods made nine gems, but only

the native and ancient home of the
beautiful bird. The proverb, however,
is not strictly in keeping with facts.
There are two peacocks-the bird of
India and Ceylon, and second species,
the peacock of the far East, of Java
Burmah and Siam. 1t is a legend of
the Indian jungles that leopards and
tigers can fascinate peacocks, and a
writer in the London Spectator refers
to the experience of Colonel Tytler to
show how strong is the faith of the ma
tives in the story.
