A WILD and woolly yarn comes from
East Tennessee about child eight
years old and three feet high which has
skin like the bark OF tree, no flesh on
its bones, q cylinder-shaped head, an

articulation beyond slight moan; lbs
only food milk, which it takes in enor-

q iackknife, backward or forward; the
arm and leg joints can be bent the
same way; and the creature stays where
it is put, without signs of discomfort.
With some slight notifications the de-
ecilption might apply to patent churn.
