nose is to the ground, his eyes fast

cry of equipoise, stability and safety

Of you and himself, was just wild

CAPTURING BEARS IN INDIA
Plan for Destroying Animals Is Novel
and Said to Be Always
Successful. &.

A curious method of capturing wild
bears is employed in certain parts OF
India, the New York Herald remarks
Four or five sturdy men are armed.
two with long spears crossbarred on
the handles close to the sharp two
edged blade. and two or three with
ten foot bamboos, of which the ends
are smeared with bird lime.
Thus equipped and leading several
powerful dogs, the hunters sally forth
an hour or so before dawn. They pass
along the base of the hills with the
fresh morning wind blowing up from
the plains below
Should the hunters be lucky it is
not long before the fierce dogs wind
the bear, and. though dogs of this spe-
cies hunt silently, their straining on
the leash informs their owners that
the game is nigh.
The dogs are slipped and disappear
in the semidarkness. Soon their roar
ing and growing Indicate that they
have found the game. The hunters run
up to the spot where the bear is fight
ing with the dogs.
The men with the lined poles poke
the bear in the ribs and adroitly twist
the ends in its long hair, thus holding
it fast on each flank. The spearmen
complete the operation by repeated
spear thrusts.
1t is said that party of expert
enced men with good dogs never fail
to secure the bear in this way.
