Initiating a Monkey to Lure a Tiger

To call a tiger the proceeding was
as follows: The Mikir, having first as
certalned that tiger was in the neigh
porhood, would climb into a well
branched leafy tree situated near where
he supposed the tiger to be, and after
hldlng himself among the branches as
best he could, would commence to imi-
tate the chattering of a monkey, and
break and drop tWigs in the way that
monkeys do.
Then he would let fall to the ground
a bundle OF rags, weighed so that tho
thud when it struck the ground would
sound as if baby monkey had tumhIad
down from the tree, and at the Same
time would initiate the supposed bahv
monkey cries. This would be the sn
preme moment, for if tiger was near
it would often spring out, in the hope
of swapping up such a dainty morsel
as young monkey, and then the bullet
frem the gun of the hidden Mikir might
find its billet in the tigers body. By
this means the Mikir was said to have
killed considerable number of tigers,
and certainly the mans power of MIN
lcry was wonderfully good.
The call for deer was of an entirely
dlterent nature, the sound initiated be-
ing the cry Of a fawn, and as this crv
sometimes attracted tigers, too, it had
TO be adopted with caution because it
was USED only IN open grass land. from
which the caller would not have had
much chance to escape were a tiger
suddenly to put IN appearance.-Lon-

May Reshoe Army.

Some 10000 soldiers are to be fur
nished with the new orthopedic shoe, a
type of shoe which will be tested prac-
tically, with a view to it's adoption in
the military service for troops on the
march. 1t is shoe which is supposed
to follow the exact outlines of the foot,
being broader at the top than along the
sole. ''It is not much for beauty" as
one of the army officers remarked, but it
is supposed to have the qualities of COM
fort which will be appreciated by sol
diers in the field. The soldiers are now
provided on the march with the so-called
marching shoe, of which some complaint
has been made because of its unyielding
sole. In the test shoes which are now
being manufa ctured it is provided that
the shank will be thinner, so as to give
more play to the foot.

he must be careful in using it Or leaving
