HOW BIG ANIMALS ARE TRAPPED IN AFRICAN JUNGLES, IL flunterla Fearful Experience With se Pack of Hrenoo-arho Gorilla Safi to Be the rierceat of All the Wild Creatures In Africa.. Since his boyhood Arthur Spencer, one a of the bravest wild animal trappers in the. -world, has been battling with the ferocious beasts aad lives:to tell the tale 'Through stratagem he has always suc ceeefully overcome -brute force, although he ha' passed through experiences -a Edell of themselves were enough to kill a luau of -ordinary nerve. —Yes, I tun in au interesting profes- sion, which is not generally understood by thepeople," mid Mr. Spencer. "They erowd and jostle into the tents during the season toelook at the wild animals, but they never realize what patience it requires and the hardships gone through to catch the beasts in their native lands and bring them to America. "A wild ,i-inimal catcher has to stndy the ways of_iiving and the characteris- ticof the abliamls he is after. For In- stance, a monkey can never be captured unless yen know how to go about it. A man can't scramble through the tops of a tall tree and get. within a hundred fret of a nimble moiikey. The way we take them is to carry into the jungle a big gourd of fermented rice juice. When we reach a tree which is filled with chat- tering monkey* we open the gourd and pretend to drink the liquid. We then re- tire to a safe distance, and the monkeys, in their imitative way, come down the tree and all freely drink of the liquor. A half hour later we can come back and pick the little fellows up as they lie about muter the trees in a drunken stupor. 'A baboon is taken in a similar man- ner, but I have never known one to five through the trip to Europe or America. They generally died on my hands before WP got 100- miles away from the coast. They either died from seasickness or _ from the effects of a change in climate. 'I consider agorilla the fiercest of African wild anima! Hee; In efforts to get hiniewe are compelled to pierce into Ike heart of jungles where in midday it is dusk.- When we suddenly come upon the gorilla family, the mother sends her young one scampering up a tree, while she stays to defend him. The old - men, standing on his rear legs, beats his chest and gives a roar louder and more terrible than that of the eion. He then comes at you like a flash of lightning. The only thing to do is to wait until he is about ou you, then shoot him with an explosive glee'. If your shot misses,it is all over with you. i "We take all large animals -in pits. III' a man is careful, there isl not much dan- ger. A deep pit is dug in the path of 41n elephant -tank, which in ,this country is known a1 a deer lick. In the pit is piec- ed a heavy net, the top of which is fas- tened with: rubber. When a ropewhith is attached is pulled, it closes and forms - a strong bag. The net is stretched and the pit covered with bamboo, earth and graeees. The rope which closes the net is inn a little to the windward of the pit to a second pit, where the animal catcher L hidden. When'he sees the beast breek through the covering of the pit, he pulls the rope, and the animal is securely held unfit help arrives and he can be lifted in- to bie cage with the net still about him. The net is only pulled away after the lien or a-Li:um-el. animal he happens to be is seettrely locked in his cage. 'Tlie only danger to the catcher is froin the changing of the wind. After his pit has been dug and he has taken his place in it, often through. the changing of the nil' curretas through the jungles, the man ie not on the windward side of the Ipig pit. Thee the beast scents him, and the chnee turns to lie a, man hunt. The oely safety of the animal catcher lies in his -using his rifle at the proper time. Th re is an odd and unearthly- f •Tling in sho t- ing a lion with 0 'highly explosive shell such as we use. We - watch the lion bounding toward us with his mouth open andelas eyes like coals of. fire. S,udde ly the report dt a gun echoes, and there is nolionin sight The nitroglycerin in he -bullet blows him to piecee, and there is not even enough hide left to cover he 1 seat of a chair. _ .. "I have had both my legs broken, my ribs, caved in and my skull laid pare by rettacks from wild beasts. The Most ty- ing eircumstances occurred When 14.wa a boy la 1879. I was in Africa, and a p r- ty of 70 of Us started out. on a- hunt. I was a boy and tired easier than the rest. I soonstopped beneath a tree, expect ng to hurry ,and catch up with the party later. I fell asleep, however, and when I did awake it was late in the afternoon I heard a harsh laugh and thought it was same of the party who had returned to tied rue. The laugh came to m -y ears, and, looking across a short veldt, I se. a pack of hyenas coming' toward me. It was useless to shoot, for they were too tunny. It was also useless to climb a, tree, for they would wait until I fell to the ground from exhaustion. ' I pretend- ed to be dead. These hyenas -only eat de- composed bodies. Soon the animals weee sniffing about my face and body. They pulled and mauled me, but I lay perfect- ly still. Suddenly they seized me in theitr teeth and started across a rolling counery and dragged me thus for miles, dropping - me at the mouth of a cave from which, came the awfui odors of such dens. They mauled me about some more-eand finally dragged me into the cave, where I re- mained that night. The neat day the pnek again went out on s hunt, and I - escaped a short distance, only to fall ex- hausted and euffering intense agony. I A passing caravan picked me up and. Car- ried me to a small town,' where I soon re- cce -eyed!' i How Dunning Should Be Done. The politeness of the London trades- man Is a constant delight to philosophers nee those who love gentlenees.
