III purring pet-belongs to the
same family of animals as the ma
jestic lion which many centuries ago
was given the title 1.-The king Of
beasts?" "That cannot be truew
you exclaim at first thought. "A
cat and lion are not at all alike. /"
But you are mistaken. They are
very much alike, indeed, except in
size, and perhaps in color. OF course
there are other differences Of minor
Importance. Thus the pupil of the
cats eye is elliptical, that of the
lion is round. The cat Is q good
tree-climber, while the lion does not
climb trees. The cats fur is Of
nearly an equal length all over its
body, while the male lion possesses
name which, when at its best,
covers the fore part of it's body,
including the head, and gives the
creature a truly royal appearance.
In ancient times the lion inhabited
nearly the whole of Africa, all the
southern part Of Asia, and a. large
part OF southeastern Europe 1t is
still found in many parts of Africa
and Asia though in greatly reduced
numbers. A large lion measures
from nine to ten feet in length, in
Guiding the tail, and is four feet
high. 1t is not as large as the
largest tigers, some Of which attain
II feet in length and weighs from
450 to 500 pounds, but the strength
of the lion is prodigious. With a
lit can crush the skull of an OK
or break the back of horse, and
it is capable OF carrying off bull
lock in it's jaws. 1t can cover thirty
feet at a single bound, and few ami
mails except the antelope can out
run 1t. It's tawny color blends
readily with it's natural surroundings
and renders the lion almost in
visible in its native haunts.
Authorities disagree in regard to
the,hunting habits of lions. 1t seems
probable that as rule they live and
hunt singly, except during the mat
ing season and while the young are
half grown. when the whole family
unltes in the chase.
Travellers in South Africa report
that the lions are sometimes seen
hunting in droves of from six to ten.
These droves may be composed of
two or more female lions and their
cubs.
In common with most members Of
the cat family, the lion prefers to
hunt at night, setting forth at sun
set and lying in wait for its prey at
"a watering place, or beating the
range steadily. in true catlike fash
ion, keeping to the leeward OF the
breeze and cleverly taking advantage
Of every bit of cover until It is with

an elephant, but deer, antelopes.
zebras, wild asses and buffaloes, as
well as domestic animals, including
camels, are on its regular bill Of
fare. A ll-grown~buffalo bull, with
it's long, sharp horns, is the only one
that is capable of successfully de-
Tending itself.
Man-eating lions are not common.
1t is said that usually they are very
old lions, and that, like the tiger,
when once they taste human blood
they persist In the habit as long as
they live. Man-eating lions have

The story is well known Of the two
lions which killed so many native
workmen that for weeks they halted

The young Of the lion, generally
only two in a litter, are born in
den in some secluded spot selected
by the mother lion, who guards them
jealousy and does not permit even
the male lion to approach. Like the
tom-cat, the lion is inclined to make
a meal of his offspring. The name
begins to grow on the young male
during it's third year. but It does not
attain its fun growth until the
seventh year. Lions live from forty
to fifty years. They are easily kept
in captivity. Scientific name.
