Toll of the Jungle

T NDIA still pays its annual tribute OF
human life to the jungle. In fact, the
number OF deaths from snake bite or
the attacks OF wild animals has steadily in
creased during the last few years, fact
which has been attributed to the great
floods. The rising waters have driven the
serpents out OF the lowlands up into the
villages, and have diminished through
drowning the natural food supply Of the
larger wild beasts.
According to the latest annual figures
available, 55 persons were killed by eIe-
plants, rs by hyenas. 100 by bears. 35i by
leopards, S19 by wolves, 1853 by tigers and
6SS by other animals, including wild pigs.
No less than 22,47S died from the bite Of
poisonous snakes. The grand total OF NOR
tality is 24,S7S.
The losses on the part Of the inhabitants
OF the jungle were nearly but not quite as
great as those Of their human enemies and
the donesticated animals combined. Ninety
one thousand one hundred and four snakes
and over 10000 wild beasts of various kinds
were killed
A great many cases OF snake bite were

nevertheless impossible TO assert the value
OF this treatment, since no one knows
whether all, or even a large number, Of the
cases treated were caused by the bites Of
