EXPeriellee4 Or 11 'Traveller In the 11111maloyo
Travelling has its advantages and
its disadvantages. Major Waddell, in
his new book, relates some experiences
whinh few travellers in the Himalay-
as, er anywhere else ,wouldeare to du-
plicate. Foremost among these is the
encounter with leeches in the damp
forest of the Teester
A leech that is furnishing, Major
Waddell explains, is no thicker than a
knitting -needle. In such a condition,
he is a dangerous .enesny to every two -
or four -legged creatnie that mosses
his peth.
In that forest, hungry leeches stood
alert. on .every twig of the brushwood

eravellers approaehed, they . lashed
themselves vigewously to and fro in
a trantic eftort to seize hold of one
or other of the party. The instant
they touched their vietim, they fixed
themselves firmly, and then, by user -
les of rapid movements, reached a vul-
nerable point, and once there, lost not
