The food of the camel in its natural state consists ofalmost anything it can get. Hard, thorny boughs andbranches, bits of old wood, grain, and any kind of greenstuff, all are eaten greedily by the camel. He has no judg-ment whatever, and will eat the deadly green plant called 67 THE BAGTRIAN CAMEL by the Arabs Camel Poison with just as much relish asany other green thing. But when he eats that, it is his lastmeal, for soon after he will get very sick, stagger about, andthe poor thing often dies in great agony. Camels are used now in some of our regiments abroad,and many of the Camel Corps are splendid sights. Butcamel riding is not at all easy. In mounting its rider, thecamel kneels, waits until he is fairly on, and in risingstraightens out its back legs so suddenly that unless the rideris careful he is promptly thrown off again! I have neveryet heard of any one who enjoyed riding on the camel forvery long at a time. 68Text Appearing After Image: ' Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
