AN tKOl HUNTING JUJU 
This is the great "hunting Juju" of the Ekoi. arid has never before appeared to a Euro- 
pean. The "image" was supposed to be deaf to human voices, and to hear only those of the 
bush beasts, save when awakened by the call of the trumpet. It is_ the Juju that is supposed 
to have the power of "smelling out" all others, and carries an axe in itsj'aws as a sign of its 
special fierceness. Powerful "as it is. however, it was not proof against the very human 
weakness of wishing to have its photograph taken, and appeared, on this inducement, among 
its less exclusive brothers.
