NATURE’S DANGER SIGNALS. 
The person gifted with keen powers of ob¬ 
servation, who has visited Nature in her wild 
haunts, will assuredly have noticed that the pres¬ 
ence of any dangerous animal on the prowl is 
frequently revealed, by other forms of life better 
gifted with the intuition of self-preservation, to 
those creatures whose sense of self-protection is 
not sufficiently acute to enable them to prepare 
themselves against the attacks of their natural 
enemies. That Nature should make some pro¬ 
vision of this type is easily comprehensible to all 
those people who ht.ve in the smallest degree 
paid attention to the law regarding the balance 
of life. For, if certain beasts and birds did not 
possess the means or instinct of indicating the 
presence of danger to other less watchful species, 
these latter would speedily disappear from off 
the face of the earth, owing to the decided ad¬ 
vantage which their foes would obtain over 
them. 
In the investigation of this voluminous sub¬ 
ject, let us first climb to the roof of the world, 
the high table land of Tibet, and examine the 
fauna of those regions. Here we find the Ovis 
amnion wandering over the bare and wind-swept 
hills. Although these wild sheep are extremely 
wary and difficult of approach, their worst 
enemy, the ounce or snow-leopard, occasionally 
exacts toll from among the flock. The sports¬ 
man who has had the perseverance to penetrate 
to such enormous altitudes in pursuit of this 
magnificent wild sheep will have learnt, per¬ 
haps to his cost, that to successfully stalk a herd 
of Ovis amm'on, a vigilant eye must also be kept 
on the kyang or wild ass. This equine animal 
inhabits the same ground as the Ovis amnion, and 
many a noble ram has been saved from the hun¬ 
ter’s bullet through the timely warning afforded 
by this asinine quadruped. These beasts are 
gifted with an amount of curiosity that is scarcely 
surpassed by any other wild animal. On per¬ 
ceiving a suspicious-looking object they will 
come trotting slowly toward it, with ears erect; 
but will pull uo at a respectful distance in order
