FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO. 
mit himself to acceptance of the native idea. 
He says: “There may be some truth in this 
for unless you are following the tiger and have 
seen him, it is almost impossible from the sound 
alone to tell with any certainty where he is." 
With this everyone will agree; but to apply the 
result to the case of the stalked deer it be¬ 
comes necessary to assume that its powers of 
hearing and locating sound are on a par with 
those of humanity, and those powers in civilized 
humanity are admittedly low. They are vastly 
superior in those members of jungle tribes who 
live in the jungle and, to any extent, on their 
success in hunting; but we doubt very much 
whether they are at all comparable to those of 
wild animals. 
Commenting upon the invisibility of the tiger 
under favorable circumstances, Colonel Durand 
says he has seen a tiger sitting up a hundred 
yards away in the sunlight “washing his face 
like a cat, move a couple of steps into the 
shade and fade away like the Chesire cat in 
‘Alice in Wonderland.’” This very aptly illus¬ 
trates the singular facility with which, if we 
may use the expression, suitable surroundings 
absorb the tiger, conspicuous as he is amid 
others. Somebody had been suggesting that, 
“abnormally colored” tigers must be sadly 
handicapped in the work of gaining a liveli¬ 
hood, which draws from Colonel Durand the 
remark that inasmuch as the game tiger usu 
ally kills at night, in dusk or at dawn, the diffi 
culty is hardly a great one. 
It might be added that abnormally colored 
tigers are so uncommon that the point is hardly 
worth raising, save as a curiosity. White tigers 
are the only variants worthy of the name 
known; and nobody, so far as we are aware, 
has ever recorded his color impression of a 
white tiger in moonlight or dusk. “All cats are 
gray in the dark,” is a good rule and one to 
which the normally colored tiger conforms 
literally and completely. Show any man a tiger 
for the first time by moonlight and he would 
assuredly ask in amazement whether the “tiger’s 
stripes” were not a fiction. It is one of the 
many advantages that nature, too prodigal to¬ 
ward an undeserving favorite, as a deer might 
hold, has conferred upon the tiger. It is not 
given to every beast to wear a coat invisible 
under desirable circumstances by day, and con¬ 
veniently inconspicuous by night.

BARGAINS IN RODS. 
“Good morning! I want to buy a fishing rod 
for a Christmas present for my husband.” 
“Perhaps,” said the dealer, “I might suggest 
something if you would tell me what kind of a 
fisherman your husband is, what he fishes for, 
and the price you’d be prepared to go to. 
We’ve a capital whole-cane rod here at thirty i 
shillings, and a split-cane one-” j 
“I don’t want any damaged goods—at least, 
not unless you’re prepared to take something 
less for them. How much will you take off 
for the cane being split?” 
“I'm not offering any damaged goods. The 
split-cane is——” 
“I bought an umbrella one day last week 
that had a split cane handle, and was marked 
ten-and-six, but the place where it was split 
was inside, just under the top, and didn’t show, 
and I got it for six-and-three, and it’s the 
cheapest umbrella I ever had. Will you take 
half the price the rod would have been if it 
hadn’t been split?” 
“No. no; you don’t understand. The price 
of the split-cane rod is three guineas.” 
“What! more than twice as much as it would 
have been, if it had been whole and right?” 
“But it is right. If you’ll only permit me 
to explain. Split-cane rods are specially made 
that way—of strips of cane glued together—to 
increase their quality, and, of course, are 
more expensive. Now-”—London Fishing
