LION SCARE IN NYASALAND..
And terror has befallen some of the dis. tricts of Nyasaland, the British colony lying along the western shore of Lake Nyass. In this region game has never been plentiful, and the supply bas been still further depleted by excessive huating in the last few years. The result is that the natural; food of lions is be coming scarce and they have been drivas by hanges to prey upon the natives.
Fortunately lion's are not so numerous there as they are in British East Africa. But the natives are in terror, owing to the fact that the animale now, look upon them as an excellent source of food supply. The evil at present is greatest in the district which lies between the government stations of Ngura and Dowa in the high.country,west of Lake Nyasą,
In this locality during the last year the lions "have become a scourge.
The natives have. surrounded all thair villages with stockades at least fifteen feet high, the tops of which are thickly woven with thoras,
These précau ions seem to afford no security, Lions have repeatedly climbed over the sock adas, broken into the huts usually by tearing Away the roof thatch and carried of nativan. Evan thoan not attacked are usually too terror
thicken to offer resistance.
