The Tantanoola tiger scare continues to worry South Australians. Many suggestions have been advanced for its capture, bat the following, made to an Adelaide paper, is the mosb recent and certainly the most novel: " First get a lot of leaves and £mear them on one side with bird lime, or any other sticky substance. Place the leaves in the track of the animal with the sticky substance on top. When his lordship travels that way the leaves will get fast to his paws and cause him a certain amount of annoyance, and in the endeavours to take them off he will get into a great state of excitementlie down, geb up, go a little further, lie down again, and so on, until he is smothered all over with leaves. His roar can be heard for miles round, and his capture alive is only a matter of a little stratagem. The prize will be worth the trouble, aod the fun immense.",
