oxen. goats or sheep are shut up for
the night-the lioness approx ches eau
tiously. protiting 10y every tree or BUSH
to hide herself. At the same time the
lion himself lies watching on the OPP
pOSite in the distance.
Now the lioneSs exerts herself to

by smelling Il beast Of pre.s-till the
cattle are tormented to the utmost by
fear and horror. break through the
kraal on the side opposite Il. the lion

lion.
The lion chases his victim and thrOt-
ties it by springing on its neck or
breast and biting his teeth into this
part. The hunted animal falls. and
the lion now tears open the tanks.
The lioness appears and has her share

1t Is doubtful II our Aryan ancestors
when they were planting the seed Of

what we call heat and cold but they
gave to US the root ''prus." which they
got out of the sensations produced by
burning and freezing. AS usual, Aryan
roots beginning with the ap" sound
change 1t to r. on the tongues of
the Teuton: SO with these our more
modern ancestors ''prusr became
'frus." and from it came our freeze"

Hindu brother In his Sanskfit usually
preserves the Aryan ''p" sOaand. so he
has from this root ''prush.~ meaning
