ua the Continent o f Europe,
The small piece o f chalk which is in
constant use in the schoolroom, the
lecture-room, tlie billiard-room and the
workshop has a strange history, the
unraveling of whitto through all its
complexities is one of the most ditti-
eult problem « wit'll »vhicb the silence
o f the present day is called u p m to
deal. This piece is In reality a chip
of mi immense block of chalk that
once Idled an a rou the size of the con­
tinent of Europe, and o f which even
yet several gigantic fragments remain,
each, hundreds of square miles in ex­
tent. These patches arc scattered over
the region lying between Ireland on
the west and China on the east, and
extending in the other direction from
Sweden in the north to Portugal in the
south.
e c •
In the British isles the chalk is found
in greatest jierfeetton ami continuity
iu the east and southeast of Kngland.
A sln*et of chalk more than 1,000 feet
in thickness underlies,all Hint portion
of England which is situated to the
southeast o f a line crossing the island
diagonally from the North Sea
at
Flnmhorough Head to the coast on tlie
English channel in Dorset. This enor­
mous sheet o f chalk is tilted up slight­
ly on the west, and its depressed east­
ern portions that dip toward the waters
of tlie North Sea are usually buried
from sight by means of overlying sand*
and clays. Wtiere the edges of the
chalk floor come upon the sea tlie cliff
scenery is strikingly grand and beau­
tiful. Anyone »vlio has once seen the
magnificent rocks of Flninborough and
Beecliy Head, the Jagged stacks o f the
Needles or the dizzy mass o f Shak-
speare's cliff, near Dover, can under­
stand why "tlie white cliffs o f A l­
bion" lias grown Into a stock phrase.
T ills massive sheet of chalk appears
again in France, in many other parts
o f Europe as far cast as the Crimea,
and even in Central Asia, beyond the
Sea o f Aral.

M exico’* W ild Mon, or Peccary, Runs
from N othin g C oder the sun.
The most vicious and fearless of the
brute creation is the peccary or »vild
hog o f Mexico. This animal seems ut­
terly devoid of the emotion of fear. I
have never seeu it turn a hair s breadth
out of its path for any living thing,
says a writer. Man is its specal beie
noire.
It displays an intelligence in
fighting tlie human strangely at vari­
ance with Its apparently complete lack
of any ment»il attribub >. save tin* very
lowest order of Instinct. They are rare­
ly found singly, hut go iu droves of
from a hundred to thousands, Their
ability to scent men is particularly
marked.
I have kno»vn a drove of
them to seent a man a mile off and
strike as straight for him as the arrow
flies. There is no use to try to frighten
them »vlth guns. The cannonading of
a full buttery would have no more ef­
fect on them than tlie jHippl-Ug of :l
tire cracker. The only thing to do
when they get after you is to run aw ay
from them as fast as a horse can carry
you. And then there is no certainty
that they won’t catch you. They are
nearly as sw ift as a horse, and their en­
durance is as great as their vicious­
ness.
A friend o f mine encountered a drove
of them in a wild part of Mexico a few
years ago. and his escape was miracu­
lous.
He very foolishly
shot and
wounded a number of them. Then lie
took refuge in a tree. Tlie peccaries
kept him iu the tree all that day and
through the night. They circled around
tlie tree, grunting and squealing their
delight at the prospect of a feast. He
soon exhausted ills ammunition, and
brought down a peccary at each fire.
But this hud no terrors for the beasts.
Along toward morning the brutes be­
gan to eat the ones lie had killed, and
when they tints satisfied tlie cravings
o f their stomachs they formed in line
and trotted off. If they bad not had
some of their o»vn number to devour,
they would have guarded that tree un­
til my friend, through sheer exhaus­
tion, dropped from his perch and al­
lowed them to make a meal of him.
Tlie wild cats and tigers that infest the
Mexican wilds, flee from tlie peccaries
with instinctive fear, and even rattle­
snakes keep out of their path.
