LEOPARD CARRIES
BABY BOY AWAY
Beast Adopts Child Who Grows Up
Wild on Hills of Caehari-Father
Finally Captures Lad.

LONDON, March pa wild boy, re
sembling in some respects kipling's,
character, "Mowgh," who was sucked
by a she-wolf and grew up to be a leader
of the pack, has been found in re-
mote section OF India, according to a
story told in the Times. In this case,
however, the boy is reputed to have
been kidnapped by a leopard. He has
been recaptured and his father Is now
keeping a sharp eve on him to see that
he does not run away to the woods.
The Times credits the tale to Stewart
Baker. who was recently in the undo
vcloped country round the Cachari hills,
on the Northeast frontier of India,
where he was in charge of road mend
ing 1t is customary in that region for
the villagers to mend roads, instead of
paving taxes Mr. Baker asked a vii
lager why he did not do his share OF
roadmending.
The man replied that he was afraid
to leave his village His wife having
one to take care of his little wild son"
who. i'm his absence, might run into the
Jungle and get lost. Mr.. Baker paid the
villager 4 visit and found with him a
child about seven years OF age, with in
Vulnerable white sears of tiny cuts and
scratches all over his body.
The chld's father told him that. i've
years before, the villagers of Cachari
had killed two leopard cubs. The
mother leopard had prowled about the
Jungle bordering on the village. \ few
DAYS later the mother OF the child
left him lying on a cloth. while she went
away to reap rice. In her absence, the
mother leopard carried the child off.
The villagers searched for him, but
could find no trace of the child.
Some three years later a sportsman
killed a leopard in the Jungle He told
the villagers that the leopard had two
cubs. They searched the jungle and
found the two cubs and with them the
missing child The child ran on all
fours quite fast, lodged and hid in
bushes with great agility and skill and
bit and fought with everyone who tried
to law hold of him. He tore to pieces
and ate with extraordinary quickness
any village fowl that came his way.

barely enough to meet the medical needs

one gram of radium in all Berlin, and,
proportionately. even less at Heidelberg

The shortage is said to be due to the
fact that karnothit used in the manufac-
