CAVE TIGER WORTH HUNTING
Sport Has Element of Real DanseFt Slnce the Gunner Has Little
 Chance to Retreat.

The best caves for hunting and the only ones the men like to explore have but one opening, the same for en- trance and exit. These openings lead through bottle-necked burrows to the caves below. To hunt the cave tiger you must crawl in on all fours through these winding tunnels, with rife in hand and guided by the flash or torches carried by the hunters, one of whom goes ahead. You may worm yourself along through the tunnel in this manner ten, twenty, even hfty yards, into the hillside, your path so narrow at times that you are com pelled to squeeze yourself between the rocks. At length you see a black speck ahead. When this is lit up by the torches a cave opens into view, and then if lucky you will see tiger crouched against the opposite fock wall within ten or fifteen feet, his white whiskers bristling in snarl of rage as he blinks at the bright torches through narrowed eyes. If the tiger Is at home your work is simple and you are not bothered by choice of ac- ton. Retreat is impossible and you have. but one thing on hand; to kill the tiger.
 A religious festival was absorbing all the interests of Ken-ai on my ar rival and the little temple of the vil- Iage where guests usually put up was being used for joss pidgin, so was uuartered in an ordinary house, writes William Lord Smith in Scribners. Tai koR promptly engaged seven hunters and, though at first sight they ap- peared to be only good-natured and unenthusiastic, they were better con- dttioned' than their comrades and the older ones bore a reputation for skill and bravery.
 Bach man was equipped with a spear and torch. The spear Is armed with three strong iron prOngs, the outer points being 16 inches apart. This trident is fitted firmly on the end of a stout pole three feet long. The torch, which is even a greater protec- ton than the spear, is made from a slender piece of bamboo longer than the spear, so that the lighted end projects well beyond the trident when the torch and spear are held together in the hands of a hunter. The smaller end of the bamboo shoot is gashed with knife and old rags woven in and out among the splinters. When this wad is soaked with linseed oil it Is ready for the match. Five of these torches light up a cave sufficiently well for shooting, and with spears make a formidable barrier in the hands of determined men, which the tiger will seldom charge unless wounded,
