Catching Tigers.

Capturing tigers by novel method
is now being adopted in Sumatra, and
is proving almost invariably success
full AS soon as a tigers lair has been
found natives are employed to con
struct a wooden fence nine feet lone
and four feet wide short distance
away from it, and in this inclosure is
then placed as a bait dog, which
is tied to one of the fence posts. A
narrow entrance leads into the inclos'
ure, and there, deftly concealed under
earth, leaves and boughs OF trees, is
placed a strong steel trap which is sc
designed that any animal that places
its foot on it is certain to be held cap
tive.
This trap is Of recent invention, and
consists of strong steel plates and
equally strong springs. When 1t is
set the plates form sort Of platform,
