TRAPPING LIONS AND TIGERS
White Hen Learn the Secret of Tak
ing Beasts of Prey.
EXTERMINATING TROPICAL PESTS
Vr Handrad Lions and Hyenas Har
vested Last Tear oa Blasla
Germaa East Africa
..Farm.
A new way of dealing with formidable
wtld animals Is now being widely empolyed
In tropical regions.
Until within a few years efforts to trap
th larger beasts of prey were nearly al
ways unsuccessful. Extraordinary precnu
tlons were taken In setting th traps. Very
strong traps were provided, th traps being
kept from rust and handled with Instru
ments so that the odor from the human
hand might not be perceptible; put all In
vain.
The precautions are now thrown to
the winds. Under the new plan white men
are having great success ln trapping lions,
tigers, leutwrds, bears, hyenas. Jackals
and many others of th less famous prowl
ers. These anlmls cause great loss of cattle
and other domestic creatures and also
cost th lives of many human beings every
year. Th governments in nearly all trop
ical countries cow have close times during
which the hunting of harmless wild ani
mals, such as elephants, tebra and ante
lope I forblddn ln order that they may
have an opportunity to breed and thus h
saved from extinction. But th pioteotlng
arm of th law I not extended over
beasts of prey.
New Sraeui Haa Trap.
Poet-tally strong steel trap arc now em
ployed for catching these animals. Th
Jaws of the trap are so deep that when
S lion sots foot upon th spring, th trap
close upon the leg above th knee and
wlthip two or three Inches of the body.
An advertisement of a oertaln German
trap appearing In a colonial newspsper
last month ha an affidavit asserting that
on a certain plantation in Oerman East
Africa 4.6 beasts of pray, including Hops,
leopards and hyenas, were successfully
trapped last year. The fact that th ex
termination of these animals by trapping
now appears to be practicable is th causo
of much rejoicing among tropical colo
nists. Wherever one or more specie of the
larger beasts exist they are a source of
trouble to white men who are openlig
farms or raising live stock. In Is uo
serious undertaking for a Hon or an
African leopard to kill the strongest horse
or the largest ox.
Herds are often decimated by their rav-
! ages, all the poultry may be killed In th
night, skins and hides within reach are
I destroyed, and Jackals will even stent
boots and make a meal on them. M. Kiene,
a farmer, writes from German 8outhwest
.Africa that when he kills a sheep or
steer it Is not necessary to bury th offal,
for prowlers the very next night will
clean It up and carry it off to the last
morsel.
The success of trapping th largest
beasts of prey Is due to Improvements In
the trap and In the methods of using It,
Th traps now made for this purpose ar
proportioned t the sstrength of th strong
est animal that can get Into them.
Betting the Trap.
A shallow hole Is dug and filled with
moss so as to bring the trap nearly to
th level of the ground, the moss helping
to keep it exactly level. Th trap and th
ground around It ar then covered with
earth fre from stones. Over this leaves
or grass are strewn.
A few bits of bait are scattered among
the leaves from a foot to a foot and a
half from the spring of the trap. Th
beast whose fin nose detects the meat ap
proaches at night, hunis th tidbits m th
Utter and whll picking vhern up nine
obanoas to tan ha will spring th trap.
This Implement has soma appurtenances
which have only recently been used. It
was formerly the practice to fasten th
trap on the spot, but the new way of
trapping has a different device.
Th trap is attached to a strong stout
ohaln, at th end of which Is a three
pronged anchor with points almost as
sharp as needles. When caught the animal
will haul the trap with Its chain and
anchor out Into the brush. At every In
stant the anchor Is catching In the ground
or scrub. The animal cannot travel far,
for every step means a pull on his Im
prisoned limb, and the scars which th
anchor makes on the ground and under
brush are a sura guide to the crippled
brute.
The farmer may be awakened by th
first frightened howl of bis victim, but he
will watt till morning before Investigating
the matter. A few minutes will take the
animal into the bush, and his outcries
soon cease. In the morning when conven
ient the farmer will follow the trail, rifle
on shoulder, knowing perfectly well that
he can safely approach th brute within
two or three rods and put an end to his
misery with a well-aimed bullet.
Easy u LyinST.
Th experienced trapper today does not
take th slightest pains to conceal hla par
ticipation in setting th trap. He handles
the trap he would a hoe, puffs away at
his pipe, does not car If th trap is rusty,
and puts no oil on it, as was formerly don
to dlsgulsa odor. In fact, he carries out
th work as simply as though be wer
catching a muskraL
Her ar some of th latest statistic of
trapping big beast of prey ln tropical re
gions. On one coffee plantation ln district
U-S. Sumatra, three tigers wer caught ln
two days near th remain of two oxen
they had killed. Missionary A. Mayer In
British Bechuarutland caught three Hons in
a week, besides many other beasts of prey.
Theodor Hartmann on plantation M ln
German East Africa trapped 404 beaata of
prey last year. A. von tjuaat on another
plantation trapped ln on month two Hons,
eight leopards and one hyena, all but on
lion and on leopard bU)( caught la th
same place. In sixteen months he trapped
204 beasts of prey, for which he received
bounty amounting to 1.600 marks.
C. Haverbock trapped three lions ln No
vember of last yeur. C Forstmann reports
from th Dutch Indies th trapping of two
royal Bengal tigers and three bears, while
H. Janson In German Southwest Africa
has recently trapped four leopards, eighty
hyenas, 1H0 Jackals and thirty-six foxes.
These facts show that the steel trap Is
going to have a very Important part In
ridding the world of dangerous beasts of
prey.
SAFEGUARDING BOYS AND GIRLS
Temptation of City 1.1 fe and Heme
dies Proposed Results of
an Inquiry.
An Investigation conducted by a commit
tee of the common council of Milwaukee
to discover why boys and girls of that
city go wrong has not been fully completed,
but enough information hus been obtained
to warrant the conclusion that the objec
tionable conditions which prevail In Mil
waukee are the result of city life and are
common to all large cities.
Among the agencies which Milwaukee
people bold responsible for the corrupting
of young people and which they believe
are equally active In other large cities
are the following:
Undesirable home Influences.
The indifference of the blind fondness of
parents ln many homes of the better sort.
Th penny arcadea, their tendency to
promote flirtations and the opportunity
which they present to the petty thief.
Th t-cent theaters and other places of
cheap amusement conducted without proper
supervision, not so much because of the
nature of the entertainment itself, but be
cause they promote the habit of hanging
about the streets and forming chance ac
quaintances. Sensational displays on the billboards.
Pool rooms and bowling alleys which al
low young boys to loaf In them.
Lack of supervision of boardir; bouses
which advertise rooms to let to young
girls.
The Inadequate enforcement of the com
pulsory education and child labor laws and
of laws prohibiting the sale of liquors to
minors, the sale of cigarettes and the at
tendance of young girls at saloon dance
halls without their guardians present.
Inadequate laws restricting disorderly
houses and poor enforcement of such laws
as exist.
Lack of opportunity for wholesome en
joyment, such as public play grounds and
social centers.
As remedial agencies constructive rathr
than stricter prohibitive legislation is
likely to be recommended to the council.
"Give the boys a place where they tun
play ball without keeping a lookout for
the policeman," suggests H. II. Jacobs,
warden of the University of Wisconsin
settlement, situated In th heart of the
polish district, "and you have taken a long
step toward the solution of the problem.
Give them a good club with gymnasium
facilities under Intelligent and sympathelc
supervision and they will desert the gang
which meets in alleys and which Is a
training school for thieves and worse."
In this statement is found the keynote
of the majority of the recommendations.
Among the propositions favored are the
following:
The ereotlon by th city of neighborhood
houses equipped with reading rooms, rooms
for games and dances and club work, bath
i rooms and reading rooms, the houses to be
In charge of experienced workers.
The opening of the public schools after
school hours as social centers and gather
ing places for supervised clubs.
The establishment of properly equipped
and properly conducted municipal play
grounds so located as to be easily acces
sible to the children, and the use of the
Polish district, "and you have taken a lor g
to the public after school hours.
The establishment of a parental school
and of ungraded classes for backward
pupils in each of th city schools.
I A curfew taw.
j Tl establishment of a municipal chil
dren's theater where fairy tales and whole
somo Juvenile plays may be presented, and
the abolishment of th penny arcades and
questionable E-cent theaters.
Stricter enforcement of all laws protect
ing youth and of those providing for th
punishment of adult who contribute to th
delinquency of children. Additional re
strictions ln the child labor law. Segrega
tion of sexes ln factories or shorter work
ing hours for women, so that men and
women do not leave together.
Instruction In civics, social hygiene and
home economics in the public schools, and
trad schools, with both day and evening
classes.
STATION AGENTS' TROUBLES
Something Doing; All the Tim Along;
the l.lne of an African
Railroad.
The Uganda railway has always Im
pressed us as being one which, to do It full
Justice, should be dealt with In comic'
opera. Named after a colony through
which it does not run, starting from a
terminus carefully placed as far awsy as
possible from the port it serves, though
reaching the iBland on which that port I
situated by a bridge built at great expense,
running for a long extent through natural
game preserves, with the result that Its
trains are held up from time to time by
objecting animals, every mile on the line
has a more or less humorous tule attachod
to it. '
In the early days, while construction was
sttll proceeding and while only a part of
the line was open for traffic In fact until
quite recently, life on the Hue must always
have been Interesting and occasionally very
exciting. In August. 16, for lnstsnce, the
traffic manuger at Mnihasa received from
the Babu atattonmaster at Simba the fol
lowing telegram, marked urgent: "Lion Is
on the platform. Please Instruct guard and
driver to proceed carefully and without
signal In yard. Guard to advise passengers
not to get out here and be larefal when
coming Into booking office. "
Th touching pitc of advlc Included
seems somewhat superfluous. However, one
bold sportsman did get out. and, ascending
convenient tree, mnnaged to "get" a
lioness and a lion within a few minutes.
He further wounded another lion, th one
waiting on the platform. However, the
latter, after being wounded, disappeared
and could not be found, so th sportsman
went along the siding to look for him. Ho
found him suddenly but owing to his
swiftness In getting in a blow from the
shoulder on th lion's Jaw after an exciting
rougn and tumble he found himself on
top when the Hon bolted Into the bush.
A littl later in the day the trsfflo mana
ger received a further wire from the sta
tlonmaster, who appeared to be somewhat
recovering confidence, as it was not marked
urgent: "One African Injured again by a
Hon. Please send cartridges by next train
certain." The same afternoon this was
followed by a second touching telegram:
"Pointsman is surrounded by two Hons
while returning from distant signal and
then pointsman went on top of telegraph
post near water tank. Train to stop there
and take him on train and then proceed.
Please arrange necessary orders."
It Is not "big game'' alone, however,
that causes annoyance, for from a station
close to Nairobi about five years ago th
following report was received: "Rats run
ning about like h 1, eating holes In th
celling and biting oft pointsman's toes.
Bond rat traps." African Colonizer.
