rest.
Some of the cats in Liberia are of
a bright red tint. and they are very
conspicuous in the moonlight.
The cry of a young seal when wound

The common herring is the most diff

the most difficult to preserve alive.
Cranes, storls and wild geese fly
fast enough TO make the trip from
northern Europe to Africa in Il week,
but most of them rest north of the
Mediterranean.
A fox is dainty as well as crafty
and prefers the tongues of lambs for
food. He has been seen to chase sheep
until they. on becoming tired, hung
out their tongues, which he then tears
off and eats.

centimeter ahead-that is to say, less
