WILD ANIMALS
Different Methods by Which they
Arc Captured.

arc SuptuTeus
The different methods by which vari-
GUS wild animals are captured in their
native state are interesting. Lions are
generally. caught by being tempted to
thrust their heads through nooses OF
strong cords composed Of twisted
hides. Pieces of meat are used for bait,
but frequently the hunters have many
days of hard chasing before the lion
can be persuaded to try the moose.
When he does, the cords are pulled
quickly around his throat, sitting him,
and other stout cords are bound around
his legs Tigers are more savage than
lions and can rarely be captured when
full grown Recruiting is accordingly
carried on among the cubs, the parent
tigers being killed and the young, left
without protectors. being easily caught.
The cubs readily accustom themselves
to captivity. Perhaps the most difficult
Of oil wild animals to capture IL the 81
raffe. In addition to being very rare
CRATES are exceedingly timid and
swift footed. There is no special way
to capture a giraffe. Many different
ways have been tried, and all have
been equally unsuccessful. The meth
cd which has occasionally resulted In
capture is that of using a long cord,
ut each end of which Is a round weight.
This cord is thrown by the hunter ID
such manner as to wind around the
animals legs, either bringing it to tho

Gaping before it is made prisoner.
Most of the giraffes in captivity have
been caught by chance when young.
