Show Prowling African Hyenas. "It Is not an uncommon tiling," says a man who lins hunted In Central Africa, Af-rica, "lo moot a native with half his lace missing and when you nsk hlra liow It happened lie will tell you that n hyena snapped at him while' ho was osleop. It Is marvelous how tlioy recover re-cover from such wounds, as tho teoth of the animal must bo poisonous, and tho natives have no antiseptics and ft vory crudo way of treating wounds. When a 'nsl,' as tho natives call It, comes round tho camp howling, the 'boys' shout all sorts of vllo names at him. But very often tho animal makes no nolso whatever and not till next morning Is the loss of something discovered." |
