MAN EATERs IN INDIA.

The "nlan eater" is the jungle nightmare of
zna4as and numerous are the theories to &C
count for its abnormal appetite. Commonly it
&c said to be an old tiger which has found game
too difficult to bring down, a sickly tiger
which has resorted to man killing in its weak
ness the easier method. The consensus of
opinion among experienced hunters and observ-
eTs is, however, that man eater is an ex-
cattle killer which in conflict with herders who
are often quite brave in defence Of their cattle
has discovered how much less work il is to kill
than cattle, for the cattle killer is usually
fat and lazy. Nothing has been found, far
as have discovered, to suggest appetite for
human flesh the impellng motive, that
man eaters reject all flesh not human, that
the cubs Of a man eating tigress inherit the
man killing propensity. Rather IS it a case Of
contempt for man bred of familiarity, and more
often the lust lays hold Of the tigress very
likely because in foraging for her cubs (as she
does until they begin to hunt for themselves at
seven months) and in their defence, she has
come more frequently in contact with man; or
