THE SERPENT MOUND.
Strange Construction by Prehistoric
People in Ohio.

One of the races that occupied this
country before its settlement by the
white man was known as the mound
builders, on account of the huge
heaps of earth they left in the re-
gion where they dwelt, and which
were in many cases (if not always)
places of burial. Practically all OF
these mounds were round, or nearly
so. Something highly exceptional,
however, was left in Adams County,
Ohio, where it still exists, the land
on which it stands having been pur-
chased and reserved on account of
it's historical interest.
This strange object is a mound
which was evidently intended to rep
resent a serpent. At one end there
is what looks like pair Of widely
distended jaws, just beyond which is
an elliptical wing, probably signify
ing an egg. At the other end is a

Me, who is eleven years old and
weighs seventy-one pounds, is one
of the country boys such as were
common in the days of our fathers.
Young league started from his
fathers camp on a recent morning
with a yoke Of oxen attached to a
sled, which in turn was followed by
horse and sled. The outfit was
bound for New Portland, sixteen
miles away. The oxen became freed
from the sled on the way, but the
young teamster left the sled beside
the road and drove on. 1t was well
along into the evening when he
brought his charges into the settle

HOW TIGERS KILL PREY.
sneaking Animals Always Make
Their Attack Upon Flank
OF Victim.

| have taken considerable trouble u
find out how tigers kill large game
writes an assistant controller of for
ests at Perah TO the London Field
Some time ago | was asked to come and
see full grown bullock that had been
killed by a tiger. On examining ii
found the animal had its neck broken
and there we're claw marks on the
nose and shoulder, but nowhere else.
There was no doubt that the tiger had
| jumped at the bull and landed on the
shoulder and when the bull turned his
head to gore the tiger he must have
put his claw out and with a sudden
! Jerk broken the neck
On another occasion | went to see
young buffalo which had been killed
by tiger and found the same thing
had happened. There we're similar
marks on the nose and also on the
near shoulder, which clearly indicated
that this animal had been killed in
the same way. Malays who have
actually seen a tiger killing a buffalo
told me they saw the same thing hap
pen, also that in dragging OFF heavy
carcass such as buffalo or bull he gets
most of the weight across his shoulder
This must be fairly correct. as
have often followed a kill. and the
marks left indicated that only a por-
ton OF the animal was trailing along
the ground have known full
grown bull which ten men could not
move dragged for two miles by tiger
in heavy jungle. where roots OF trees
and. swamp had to be gone through.
In no case have seen the pug marks
facing the wrong way except when
stopping TO feed. which proves he
must carry portion Of the animal
over his shoulder
The old idea Of tiger killing large
game by a blow from his paw is non.
sense: besides, In this country a tiger
never faces his prey but attacks him
on the flank. unless charged. Another
curious fact that may seem very like
fairy tale is that a tiger does not
seem TO mind a small lamp being tied
over a kill about ten feet high. but
NIL come and feed have known
hree occasions when this has been
ried, and each time a tiger has come
o feed upon the carcass.
