Hunter Sends to New York spee'-
mems he Captured In

New York.-Two specimens Of the
giant forest pig. captured by Alfred
]. Klein near the Channa river In Az
RIGA. have been presented to the MI
scum Of Natural History. They have
been mounted by F. Blaschke.
The forest pig is exceeded IN size
only by some long extinct species
whose fossil remains are found In the
western states. 1t is comparatively
unknown. partly on account OF tts
habits, which are nocturnal. 1t thrives
In the grass of the African jungle.
High up on the slope of Mount kenia
at an elevation of about 5000 feet,
Carl E. Akeley. the elephant hunter.
found traces OF these pigs. their tracks
following the elephant trails for long
distances.
The head of the forest pig is long.
with ugly upturned tusks. Its legs
are slender. supporting heavy.
stocky body. It is agile and power
full as 1t goes cavorting through the
brush OF the jungle.
For about Is years 1t was suspected
that the forests Of central Africa har-
bored some giant specimen Of the pig
family. In 1904 one Of these curl
GUS animals was captured by natu-
ralist, and thus 1t became known to
science.

In a week, any army that has

such a position as that of the series
of rising hills back Of Tchatalja fully
tenable against any but siege attack,

And the breadth of the position
open to infantry approach In any at
tempt at storming was only 16 miles,
while from either sea side OF the mar

navy could bring into play more pow
erful guns than any Demetrie6 had at
his disposal.
At the same time there Is to be

tenet that you must not send in

sition until its batteries are silenced

Demetrieht used his guns for day
in trying to develop the strength and
location of the enemy's batteries. But
the Turks would not be drawn. At last
the tables were turned.
Meanwhile Adrianople also was tell
ing. You may discuss as much as you
please whether the original plan of
the Bulgarian STAFF was to mask this
fortress or to take 1t by storm, the
fact remains that the only result was
to mask it, and the lesson was that
any garrison In the rear Of an advan-
cling army. though 1t is held securely
in investment, remains mighty force
In being for the enemy's purpose.
Nature meant Adrianople to be a
fortress. Past 1t on the south flows

the Balkans and blowing its way
across the alluvial lowlands Of Thrace
to the sea. A strong bridge crosses 1t
on the line of the Constantinople high

five miles from Adrianople.
This bridge, which Is not far from
the Bulgarian frontier, the Turks left
intact, characteristic piece of care

in keeping with all other signs of Tur-

In the east such questions as Where
