ous conjectures uro hazarded to ac

but it Is pretty well ngieed that tho
destruction of game by sportsmen and
by drought compels tigers, leopards,
wolves, and hyoi.as to prey to a great-
r extent on humanity.
Whether that be the case or not,
Lord Cumin has unquestionably gone
'he right way to work by resorting to
the novel expedient of employing
Goorkhn soldiers In some of tho worst

ihoy nro, and perfectly feailess, they
readily take up with this new sort of
military duty, and there seems every
likelihood that tho venture, If perse
vered with, will bo crowned with com
plete success. Wolves nre, It appears,
much greater delinquents thnn tho
more lordly cnrulvora; they are
debited with nearly 300 deaths per an
num in the United Provinces nlone.
But they will huve a hot time of it
