A common animal in their country was
the two horned sand viper, represen-

priests ultimately found that for the
practical purposes OF everyday life It
was waste Of time to use elaborate
hieroglyphics and invented a kind OF
shorthand to meet the occasion. In
this the snake was reduced to v

Camels are very sensitive to moIs-
ture. In the region Of tropical rains
they are usually absent. and If they
come into such with caravans the re-
suits Of the rainy season are greatly
feared. The great humidity Of the air
explains the absence Of the camel from
the northern slopes OF the Atlas and
from well wooded Abyss.asa. This
sensitiyeness expresses itself in the
character Of different races. The fin
est. most noble looking camels. with
short silk-like hair. are found in the
interior Of deserts, as In the Taureg
region in north Africa, and they can
not be used for journeys to moist re-
gions. Even in Tezzan, south OF Trip

lands and on coasts 1t is the same.
These animals, too. are less serviceable
