WESTERN WONDER.-Th,

A WESTERN WONDER. en-
ployees of the City Engineers Depart
ment have received from California a
golden horned toad. It was sent in an
air-tight box much smaller than it would
seem to require. It was packed away
with apparently little care, but upon
being freed from its prison was found
to be alive and in apparent enjoyment
of all his faculties. It is a very curious
looking thing, being bronze color and
possessing a short caudal appendage
with projections resembling in minia-
ture the rouoh scales of crocodile. It
is very fiat, and has two small projec-
tlons on the head which answered for
horns. It is very quiet, and will per-
nit itself to be handled, and Will not
move when conscious of being look at.
When it thinks itself unobserved it will
incline its head as if comprising itself to
sleep, when gently pressed; and will
quickly recover Itself when placed upon
its back; but beside these exhibitions
OF vitality and slight movement of its
caudal appendage at times, it remains
as still as stone. Its quarters are in
a small box, and it eats but little.

TIE SEA OrrER.--Thc sea otter s
found in greatest abundance at the
Saanach island. The food is mostly
claims, muscles sea urchins, which they
manage to secure by striking two shells
together, held in the fore paws. When
broken they suck out the contents.
Crabs, fish, and the tender fronds OF sea
weeds also form their food. Unlike the
seal they are very playful, and that
they have seen them on their backs IN
the water and tossing apiece of sea weed
up in the air from paw to paw, and APP
parently enjoying the sport of catching
it again before it fell into the water.
The mothers sleep in the water on their
backs, with their young clasped between
their fore paws. If surprised, she clasps
the pup in her arms and turns her back
on the danger. They are extremity wary
and hunters when they go to Saanach
island avoid making fire or scattering
refuse food. Their sufferings, encam-
ped for weeks on barren island with
no fire, and thermometer below zero,
are very great. The sea offers will take
alarm from a fire kindled four OF five
miles to windward of them, and Prof.
Elliott says that the 'footstep of man
must be washed by many tide before its
trace ceases to alarm the animal and
drive Il from landing there should it ap-
preached for the purpose. One meth
cd of capturing them is by "spearing
surrounds. This consists in surround
ing sea otter with party of men in
fifteen or twenty canoes. One canoe
darts towards the animal, which usually
dives. The canoe stops over the point
where he sunk, while the others range
| themselves in circle half mile wide
around him. Within fifteen minutes OR
half hour he reappears, and the nearest
canoe moves rapidly toward him, which
compels him to dive again before he can
recover himself. This process being re-
peated, often for two or three hours,
the sea otter at last suffers SO much
from interrupted respiration that he is
filed with gases and cannot sink.
