to fight is the one you don't know any

WAYS OF THE LION.

visible In Dim Light.
"In the wild state n seldom
sees a lion either in repose or
majestically alert writes a CORE
spondent of the London Times. "a
glimpse the hunter may get of him,
standing magnifcently rigid when
suddenly disturbed in early morn
ing at his kill of overnight, and
more seldom it has been given to a
man to watch one, himself unob-
served, gazing from an eminence at
the grazing herd. But the lion is a
nocturnal animal, possessing an ex-
traordinary capacity for making it.
self invisible in dim light. Many a
sportsman has testified to the expe-
rience of being unable to see a lion
IN a night not altogether dark,
though it was so close that its
breathing was plainly audible, and
many a native Of Africa has fallen
victim to the sudden onslaught of
what, as he passed it a few feet
away, he took to be only a small
bush or the blot upon the darkness
made by a tussock of grass.
"The literature Of big game
shooting contains perhaps no incl
dent more bloodcurdling than the
experience of DR.. Aurel Schulz,
who, when with his gun bearer he
was stalking Il hippopotamus at
night found that a lion was in turn
stalking them. By chance the gun
bearer noticed that a bush behind
them had a queer way of being al
ways about the same distance in
their rear. In spite of the moon
light they could not be certain that
it really was a lion, but when, to
test it, they turned upon their
tracks, Immediately the shadowy
thing swept, dim and ~noiseless. in
a wide semicircle, so as to plant
itself again behind them. So, one
going backward with his face al
ways 10 Tue llOus lHc uuIltCO lluiil
ers made their way back to camp
appropriateness having ceased tt
interest them"
As to the moral character of the
beast. the same writer continues
ut has been said of the lion that
he attacks only those who with
stood him, scorning to strike one
who fled or sued for clemency
wherein in real life if you run from
a lion he will chase you; more
over, that full grown men only were
his enemies, that he would moi
harm babies. But in the lion house
one may see any day the eyes which
look so indifferently on the mer
and women who come and 60 before
the cages. light up with sudden saw
agery as some small child toddleE
alone across the floor. The lior
has learned that men and wome1
are not for him, but this smaller
creature-nice antelope size, sof'
and helpless-presents itself to the
royal mind Is easily killable."
