lion tamer P '?rn bo obtain tho uso of
lils largest and ugliest hyena, named
Carlos. Tins animal ii tho most re
pulsive and disgusting in exlstenoe.
Ho lives exclusively upon carrion aud
tho dead body of a man has for him a
greator attraotlon than any other
kind of food. Tho hyena lives in holes
and oaves during the day time and
only hunts his food by night. He
then uttors bloodcurdling shrieks and
ilrndWb laughtor, which when beard

The hyena is of hideous appearance
He bai a onat of dirty yellow, marked
with spots and usually covered with
sores due to rubbing against rooks sud
spattered with remnants of his dis
gusting food. He stands very bitrb
?it the shoulders and lils boad hange
down till bis nono touohes the ground
He always slinks ?lot g sideways with
bia bead near the ground and nov?r
conies straight toward any man or
animal. All these peculiarities give
him an indescribably rxoan, snoak'.ug
and oowardly appearance.
T. .0 hyena is furnished with noir
rotraotllo claws of such tremendous
serai ohing power that beean dig down

its occupant. In oountrios whore hy

will protoot the bodies cf tho derd
'rom their olutOhes, It wau for th's
reason that ancient Egyptian and otb
?r Oriental kings wore buried lu rock
bombs.
The hyena also bas teeth and Jiwe
if ru di strongth that he can bite
ihrougb the bones of tho largest ani
nala. His physical powers woulo
xiako him a dangerous foe, if ho pcs
lessid the least ccu-?ge, but be ha

From the drat it was evident that

M8 ono Carlos appeared r'azid and
ilbduollned to dig This was b io-ius*
bp oilmato and surroundings were s
ff rent from those of his uatlvo Af

tincts began to assert themselves.
Cho parJgs of hunger drove him to

ug up ho body of a ?\>id m -?uso or
ooao othe r small animal, suoei as ont

oward satisfying his ravenous appj
ito.
Al night thc p^a-ianto of the ooun

yena as ho roamed through tim
