The' "Living Animals of the World," which Is so packed full of anecdote and lively descriptions of strange, as well as familiar animals, gives an interesting ac count of the terrible man-eating Hons of Africa. "When Hons grow old they are always liable to become man-eaters. Finding their strength falling them, and being no longer able to hunt and pull down large antelopes or sebras, tbey are driven by hunger to killing small animals, such as porcupines, and even tortoises, or they may visit a native village and catch a goat or kill a child or woman going for water; and find ing a human being a very easy animal to catch and kill, an old Hon which has once tasted human flesh will in all probability continue to be a man-eater until he Is killed. On this subject. In his 'Missionary Travels,' Dr. Livingston says: 'Man-eater Is Invariably an old lion; and when he over comes his fear of man so far as to come to villages for goats, the people remark, 'His teeth ars worn; he will soon kill men.' They at once acknowledge the necessity of Instant action, and turn out to kill him.' It Is the promptness with which measures are taken by tbs greater part of the natives of Southern Africa to put an end to any Hon which may take to eating men that preventa these animals as a rule from be coming tbe formidable pests, which man- eating tigers appear to be In parts of India. But man-eating Hons In Africa are not Invariably old animals. One which killed thirty-seven hciaa beings In 117. on the Majlll River, to ths northwest of the Vic torla Falls of the Zambesi, was, when at last he was killed, found to be an animal In tbe prime of life; whilst the celebrated man-eaters of tbe Tsavo River, In East Africa, were also apparently strong, healthy aalmals. Thess two man-eating Hons caused such consternation amongst the In dia workmen on the Uganda Railway that the work of construction was considerably retarded, the helpless coolies refusing to remain any longer In a country where they were liable to be eaten oa any night by a man-eating Hon. Both these Hons were at last shot by ons of ths engineers on ths railway (Mr. J. H. Patterson), but not before tbey bad killed and devoured twenty eight Indian coolies, and an unknown num ber of native Africans."
