Strange Sights In India

"Of all the strange places we visitea none was more unique than Jeypore," said Mr. Burditt of the Stoddard party, according to the Washington Post. "ïhis is a city in the north of India, which is under native government, its ruler being the maharajah of that district. Here the sacredness of animal life, so carefully observed by the II indoos, gave us queer sights. Monkeys ran along walls like dogs. Doves in floeks of thovisands filled the open squares, or blackened the heavens in their flight. Peacocks covered walls and buildings. Elephants and camels were always to be seen in the streets The maharajah had in hisstables three hundred liorses, niany of the Unes Arabian blood. And in the mud of a sluggish pond in the rear of his palaee enormous and vicious-looking ci"oco diles lazily rolled about. To get them to move suffleieatly to be able to dis tinguish their black forms from th surrounding mud we threw out bait ii the shape of big pieces of raw bee: tied to a string, many pounds of whic they would g'O.p at one effort."
