bowling like mad.
"Then that would rouse some dreadful old
native bird, whose name l could never find

invent one bad enough for it), and it would
start shrieking away as if somebody was be-

"And then, all at once, there would come
rolling through the depths of the forest the
roar of tiger, which seemed to strike them
all silent for moment, as a cannon browns
the crackle of fireworks; but in another min

small clearing in the very heart of the wood,
where there were plenty of jackals' tracks

me, leaving just my head and arms out.

very good fun-at least, SO long as you're hunt
ing the tiger. but when the tiger takes to
hunting you, it's not quite SO jolly.
"But, although I've had some narrow es-
capes in that way, too, I'd sooner have them
all twice over than one such adventure as
happened to me close to this very spot, about
six years ago.
In those days, as you may think, the place
looked very different from what it does now.
The railway wasn't even begun then, and l
was the only white man for miles around.
All this clearing was as thick as hat
brush, with trees and jungles right down
to the waters edge, and if you wanted to go
anywhere, your only chance was to look out
for some place where an elephant had crushed
his way through the thickets, and then follow
his track.
II don't believe you'd have slept very sound
here in those times. I can promise you 1
didn't for the first month or SO. No sooner
did it get dark than you'd hear a row like
fifty cracked trumpets all blowing at once,
and by that you would know that an elephant
was coming down to drink at the river.

Worlds Widest River

-1 HE Amazon, in South America, is the
largest river on the face of the
globe, and is, according to Professor
I0nMINI Agassiz, 160 miles in width at its
- mouth. The distance from the
source of the Amazon in the Andes
to the Atlantic Ocean is 1000 miles in a di-
rect line, but by the course Of the river near
ly 1000 miles. The Amazon drains an area
Of 2,500,000 square miles-ten times the area
of France-and in connection with the river
and its tributaries there are said to be 5O,-
600 miles of navigable waters, one-half Of
which is suitable for steam navigation by
large vessels. The number, length and volume
of the Amazons tributaries are in proportion
to it's magnitude. More than twenty superb
rivers, 1000 miles and upwards in length, pour
their waters into it, and streams Of less i'm
portance are numberless. AT the junction Of
the Yucayai with the Amazon, line Of
6fty fathoms does not reach the bottom, and
