FINEST OF ALL WILD BULLS
Gaur, Native Of Indo-china, Aeknowl.
edged Chief Of His Kind for
Many Reasons.

The gaur is often wrongly termed
bison" The name Is not correct; the
bison is the bos bonassus of Lithuania
and the Caucasus. The gaur, found in
Indo-China, is certainly the finest Of all
the wild bulls; he all oppon-
ents By his courage, audacity and great
strength.
He is a huge beast, and sometimes
measures six feet to the root Of the
tail. He is distinguished from all 9th.
er wild cattle by the prominent hump
between the two horns. The latter are
massive, fiat at the base, and ringed.
and they describe a very wide curve
from the root upward.
The coat is of an olive brown tint,
shading In black, with very short, f!1e
hair.
The gaur is found both In the for.
est and on the mountains, for. in spite
Of his great size, he Is extremely ag-
lie, SO that he can run up the noun
tain slopes and climb the rocks with
ease.
Like the elephant, he feeds on grass
and plants, and when he cannot get
these he falls back on bamboo shoots
and the buds and branches Of trees.
The gaurs feed until about nine
o clock in the morning; then they
return to the bamboo forests and clear
ings to sleep. Later In the afternoon
they come out to Craze and drink.
They are not timid. and several shots
can be fred among a herd before they
become alarmed.-Duke Of Montpelier,
In Wide World Magazine.

on that memorable May day

fervor that animates the civic worker

the fact that what they are doing

Manila Is the most modern city In

When the Americans first went to
Manila there were few evidences Of
