The CameI's Rite,

The camel alone of all ruminants has
incisor teeth in the upper jaw, which,
with the peculiar structure of his other
teeth, make his bite, the animals first

The skeleton of the camel is full of
proofs of design. Notice, for example,
the arched backbone, constructed in
such way as to sustain the greatest
weight in proportion to the span of the
supports. A strong camel can bear a
thousand pounds weight, although the
usual load In Yemen is not more than
900 pounds.
