Sagacious ifogs. The dogs in central Borneo, It eems, when wishing to cross a river, have considerable difficulty in doing so, owing to the fact that alligators find them very toothsome morsels. They therefore, collect on the banks and make a terrifHc noise by barking and yelping as loudly as they can. The alligators are attracted to the spot by the noise, and the dogs, as soon as they see that their bait is successful, set oft up the bank at top speed and cross higher up. A Borneo traveler states that he has watched this maneuver maneu-ver times without number.
