my mind it is the most daiiKerous of all tho
large (fame.
"One dav when we were traveling slowly
n Ion tr under the hot snn tho men railed my
attention to n little hird that was flying about
and I soon saw that it was a honey guide or
iiidii itlor one of the most intelligent of all
A In ni n birds.
"It would fv up in front of the nnimala
anil men steady itself in tho air and then
dart off. fluttering its wings as if to oall ui
iiwny. In fart it was trying to get us to fol-
low it.
"Kor some time the men paid no attention
to it supposing that the honey guide hnd
merely ns usiini found a nest of honey and
lvniited u to go and open it and give it n
shaif. Hut its notions became sn violent that
lit hist my head Murker said that perhaps
the bird had found an elephant and that we
had better go.
" Finally I consented and three nf us
started off on horseback the little bird fly-
ing ahead stopping every few moments to sea
if we were coming and then flying on tak-
ing us toward a dense wood.
"As soon as we reached it the hint plung-
ed in but we were forced to remain outside.
It soon returned however and flew to an
iiien sKit or bine and into this we went.
"I think it va. nt least three fourths of a
mile that we followed over a country so rough
that we often thought of abandoning it and
I was about to suggest doing so when one
of the men a faithful Kaffir that I had had
for several years held up his hand ilium
which we all stopped
"For the last hundred yards we had been
in the epnor or trail of some animal nr of
inanv. and were evidently leading down to
"As we halted we heard the chatter of the
honey birds just ahead and we knew what-
ever it was had been found.
"Cocking mv gun and dismounting. I gave
mv horso to the third man and started tor-
ward leaving them in 1 little glen or open
' 'is a matter of precaution. I left the spoor
and took to the bush and walking slowly on

country but is extremely tough anil a good
armor agaiimt insects and small bullets.
It is usually found in the vicinity of
swamps feeding upon roots of various kinds
which it forces from tho ground by its horns.
Probably no animal is so thoroughly dread-
ed as this and old African hunters are unan-
imous in this opinion line is reported to
have said Hint he would milicr face fifty
linn thnn one wounded bnrolo. One nf the
most famous rhinoceros hunters was Mr. Os
well who invnriuhlv shot them on foot.
r'leadinan the African hunter witnessed
nn encounter similar to tho one given above.
A Hottentot came suddenly upon one of these
anim.'il'. :n.d before l.e could fire the bnrelc
had charged and striking the horso in the
breast threw both over his head dashing off
as if satisfied with this exploit.
Mr. (Iswell wa himself tossed hv one and
at another time was with his horse thrown

Digging Crabs.
ncferring to a former article on tho chim-
ney building crnh fish a Napoleon (Ohio)
boy write of his experience with one of these
singular animals which are called "digging
crabs" in that section:
"One beautiful moonlight in August"
he writes "1 wa fishing in the Miami and
lie Canal sitting on the bank. I noticed a
crab whirling around in the bank and bring-
ing out small brown ball of mini and when
I moved the animal moved rapidly toward
the water. I waited patiently nearly an hour
and finally the cnih crawled up the bank. It
placed its tail tinder its slninncli and began
to move anuind slowly gathering litllc balls
'if mud in its pincers or claws and placing
them in a circle. It. always brought the mud
upon the back of its right elw and after a
liniment ' balancing turned its claw over and
added the ball to th. ohimney. If one nf the
ball fell the crab would quickly replace it.
Occasionally the little creature would survey
its work and reined v any defect or irregu-
larities in an almost human way. I have often
wondered why th. orahs build thee towers
and I never heard the reason but I have a
theory that the object i to attract insects into
the tower and then ponnc. upon Ihem. I have
seen on. of thoe oralis lie iion the hank of a
stream and catch a fly and eat it with ns
much relish a a toad would an nngl. worm."
