One reason why game Is so thick In
China Is the absence of any finished we.i
j*on to hunt with Although the Chinese
sere the first Inventors of gunjioWder
and Arc arm*. s 111 their shot guns have
never been HUfVlriently unproved to bo
much service in hunting. In the Aral place
♦he Chinese have never Invented or us*U
the percussion ap. Their gun barrels are
roughly casi aiut many of the cheaper

The Southern Deer Park which lie* a

Is noted forj peculiar kind of deer found

that the deer Is a hybrid, for It means
that the animal cannot be classified as
belongflng to the family of any of the
four useful animals, deer or ox. horse
or camel. The deer l quite large, of a
