SCOUTING.
Colonel Baden-Powell,ini his book ."Aids to Scouting," tells the follow ing story: Once I was having j match with a Shikari in Kasmir as t< which of us could' see farthest. Hi pointed out a hillside some distanci off, and.asked me if I could see hoy many cattle there were grazing on it It was only with difficulty I could se< any cattle a,t all, but presently ? capped him by asking him if he couk' see the man in charge of the cattle Now, I could not actually see thu. myself, but knowing' that there mus> be a man with the herd, and thai he would probably be uphill abov< them somewhere, and as there was s solitary tree above them (and it wa' % hot sunny day), I guessed hr would be under this tree. ; A 100 l through the glasses showed this surmise to be correct.. .
