ABLE TO FOLLOW ANY TRAIL
Ahnds, East Indian Sect, Are Among
the Most SkilIfuI Trackers
in the World.

The Ahnds, natives of Jaum. In
dia, are among the most skilled ami
NAL crackers in the world according
to r. G. Burton, writing in the Field.
They track bears, panthers and other
jungle creatures by a mere shadow
of a footprint and also by marking"
system of watching.
When marking" animals the ma
tives turn out before sunrise and
watch the animals as they stink
back to their lairs. Then when the
hunters take d position of vantage
the markers aids surround the ami
NAL on three sides, and drive it out
from cover.
The AhndS often track bears across
solid rock, where the creatures claws,
scratching the surface, leave a mark.
The panther's tread is so soft that
no impress is made, save where the
ground is soft enough to take the pug
of the pussyfoot, and yet they track
these wary animals when they show
near the village.
