Professor Ball, in his Jungle Life in India
tells this story of wolf BOYS: Sometime ago
two Of the King of Dudes slwars. riding along
the banks of the Gumti, saw three animals
come down to drink. Two were evidently
young wolves but the third WAS as evidently
some other animal. The sawarS rushed in
upon them and captured all three and To
their great surprise found that one of them
was small naked boy. He was on all fours
like his companions, had CallositieS on his
knees and elbows, evidently caused bv his
attitude III moving about, and in resisting his
capture bit and scratched violently The boy
was brought up in Lucknow where he lived
sometime. and may, for aught | know. be
living still He was quite unable to articulatc
words, but had doghkc intellect quick at
understanding signs and SO on.
There was another more wonderful. but

who could never get rid of Il strong woliiSh

capture 20 be visited 10y three wolves. which
came evidently with hostile intentions but
which, after closely examining him. he seeming
not to be in the least alarmed, PLAYED with
him, and some nights afterwards brought
their relations, making the number of visitors
amount to five, the number i'll the litter of
cubs from which he had been taken"
The larger species of monkeys, such As the
gorilla, are as a rule inimicable to man, mis-

rival. But the smaller animals exhibit many
