GIVES 100 CAMELS AS GIFT

Viceroy of India Receives “Temperate Drinking" Herd of Animals From - Trrdian Ruler.

Calcutta, India.—The gift of a hundred camels from the khan of Khalat, Baluchistan, to the viceroy of India, is a valuable war donation. The Khalat camels are considered in many respects the finest in the world, but purchase of good animals of this type has been almost impossible owing to the high value which their owners set upon them. The Khalat camels are said to be exceptionally swift, and so temperate in their drinking as to be almost total abstainers.
