OCELOT Ain) SLOTH. In the South American forests there is no more harmless animal than the Sloth, and none is fiercer than the Ocelot. The 



Sloth derives its name from its slow, crawling movenaents when on the ground, due to the shape of its toes, but it seldom leaves the trees, where it can move 

 about with considerable rapidity. But it is no matcH for the agile, cruel, bloodthirsty Ocelot, to which it falls an easy prey when, as here shown, it is discov- 

 ered by the latter in its prowlings through the swampi' forests which are favorite haunts with both of these animals.
