The Kangaroo as q Fighter.

IA A wild kangaroo is more formida-
bic beast than might be supposed.
Standing at q bay, in lighting attitude.
on the tripod Of his leg and TAIL some-
times seven feet high, solitary ''forest-
err is not to be trilled with. The arms
Of such n beast as long as those Of
man, and his hand-like paws have
sharp, hooked claws. With these he will
spar against couple Of powerful hounds
like boxer, and woe bctide the unfor-
tunate puppy that ventures within reach
Of those sincwy limbs; be will be held
for moment in a strong grip, while q
downward blow from the hind-foot
armed with its sharp, long claw, rips
him down from shoulder 10 tail. Sew
up the cash, apply the black fellows

take his chance to die, or crawl home q
wiser hound. An old dog will wait his
chance, make flank attack, and get
hold Of the enemy by the tail, when
over he goes, and is soon worried to
death,
A kangaroo always takes to the wa
ter, where he will stand as deep as he
can, and methodically drown any dog
which ventures within his reach. A
stockman in Australia, while looking for
tracks along the boundary of his run.
heard a dog barking a sound sure to
attract q bushman's attention, as it
would portend something with a flock
Of sheep. Riding over in the direction
of the sound, he found shepherd the
grasp Of big, old kangaroo, holding on
for his life to a root in the bank of the
stream. The kangaroo had been'chased
into the stream by the shepherds dog,
which had gone into the water after
him, and would have been incontinently
drowned had not his master gone TO the
rescue. The kangaroo, leaving the dog,
had seized the man. and was doing his
best to drown him, which he would
most likely have done had the stockman
not heard the frantic barking Of a dog
and interfered with big stick.
The writer has never seen a kangaroo
swim, though they always take to water
when hard pressed, like deer, A mob
Of kangaroos running look very like fall
low deer at a distance. When sitting
up, immoyable, on the watch, they look
so much like gray stumps as to be in
distinguishablc TO th' inexperienced eye.
They look very gho>tly and uncanny as
