most hippo hunting is done from shore

The dangerous disposition Of the
East African hippos when assailed or
angered is well illustrated by the ac-
counts of their sensational assaults on
railway locomotives on the line ex-
tending from Mombasa to Lake Vic

officials relate that hippos are stirred
to towering rage by the snorting, puff

IS Probably the hippo would hate to
learn it, but it's true that he is tech

learned writer's, though he has many
radically different characteristics. At
any rate, the ancient Egyptians began
his humiliation by terming him the
river swine. The Arabs treated him
very gently, naming him the water
BUFFALO, Hollanders know him as
the t.see kuha (sea cow, and he re-
ceived his present appeiiation, hip
popotamus, from the Greeks. So 1t Is
seen that, widely known for centuries
throughout the world, the hippo for
merly must have had an unusually
wide range Of existence. And that Is
true. Although now found only In Afri-
Ca, he anciently roamed over England
Italy, Palestine, etc, and his skeleton,
strangely enough, has been found side
by side with that Of the reindeer In
several places in England, though NO
farther north than Yorkshire.
