Tha Lion’s Rush.
The wisest and most experienced can
never tell what a lion will do. Lion
hunting, to my mind, has a charm all
Its own. Nothing compares with it,
and no driving of ravines or swamps
or catching the great cat at his kill is
comparable to the Joy and steady ex¬
citement of tracking him down. He
chooses the ground. You follow him
into it You pit yourself against him.
Crouching flat against the yellow
earth, perhaps covered only by a few
inches of grass, he is almost unbeliev¬
ably hard to see. Ills rush and spring
from a few yards distance Is the fast¬
est thing In the world. No animal can
escape it, much less clumsy, slow foot¬
ed man. He has a chance to pay off on
man, the universal lord and master,
the wrongs of the animal world, and
here In East Africa the lion’s revenge¬
ful toll taken on human life and limb
mounts high.—Rev. Dr. W. S. Ralns
ford in World’s Work.
The Rubber Tree.
The “India rubber” plant—Ficus
elasticus—is a great tree In the tropical
countries in which it flourishes, often
reaching as much as a hundred feet
high. Imposing, indeed, it looks in
such conditions, with a vast leafy
crown extending over forty or fifty
feet outward on each side of the mas¬
sive trunk and with immense buttress¬
ing roots twisting and winding along
above the ground in such a way as to
lead the natives of India and Ceylon to
call It the “snake tree.” Sometimes
these roots grow up into the trees and
make the tree look like the banyan, to
which, it may be mentioned, It is bo
tanically related.
