Of all the ways of hunting surely
that of the hillmen of Carnival is the
strangest This. according to Major
the Hon. G.. G. Bruce. in Twenty
Years In the Himalayas." is their meth
cd of killing the tahr. u local species
of goat: Having driven the tahr into
deep nullahs with most precipitous
sides. out of which there are certain
well known tahr runs. they proceed
to cover these runs where the ground
is most difficult with mats made Of
split bamboo which have been pre-
viously well drenched in water. The
result is the mats freeze and become
as slippery as glass. Then they fright
en- the herd and drive them over these
mats. with the result that they are
precipitated from the cliffs and that
the Garhwali pick up the remains
perhaps twelve basketfuls."

Fearless Riders and the Dangers and

slow for mail and express in its flight
from the Missouri and the Pacific.
True, II had cut down the months of
the old OK team to twenty-five days.
and still there was a clamor that the
east and west be brought closer to-
gether. and it was done. The pony
cut the time to ten days.

those days could never forget the In
