tically extinct. but that belief does not APP
pear to be borne out by facts. Not very
long ago Captain Anderson sent out Bur
CESS, the civilian scout attached to the post
in the National or Yellowstone Park in
Wyoming. to make a journey south Of the
Hayden Valley. The purpose of the trip
was to sea whether any signs Of poachers
could be found, aud also incidentally to dis
cover what could be learned as to
the game In the open country TO the
south. The scout has lately returned and
made his report, which is to the effect that
there is an abundance of elk in the Hayden
Valley, but 1t IS in respect to the bison that
his discoveries are most encouraging In the
Hayden Valley he saw and approached quite
close to several herds of bison, which he
counted. One OF these contained seventy
eight animals, q second fifty, third 10
and fourth fifteen. Besides these, several
single bsons were seen, and at quite dis
tanc9 some other scattering groups which
could not be counted. Mr.. Burgess does
not hesitate to say that he saw fully 300 ami
mails.
1t is not to be supposed that at the time
of this visit anywhere near all the bison in
the park were collected in the Hayden Val
ley, and 1t is altogether reasonable to be-
leve that there are 100 and perhaps 400
other buffalo in the park besides those
which Mr.. Burgess saw. Taking, how
ever, the lowest number, there would be
400 buffaloes in the National Park at the
present time. This is believed to be
a conservative estimate, and to be con-
siderabiy under the truth: These BIZ
some are to be divided into six
classes-calves, yearlngs, two-year-0lds,
three year -olds. bulls and cows. This
would give us, at the lowest estimate, from
fifty to seventy breeding cows. While all
these cows may not produce calves each
year they must represent an annual Increase
of at least thirIy-sx TO forty head. This is
taking the most unfavorabe view OF the
number of cows and the rata at which they
breed. Mr.. Burgess is entirely disposed TO
think that the calf crop among the bsons OF
the National Park this year Will be from 70
10 100 animals. However this may be it is
quite clear that there is in the National
Park. living under entirely natural cond-
tions and yet protected from attacks by

The determination OF Elephants and

The DETERMINATION OF Elephants and
Giraffes In Africa.
Geographical Magazine.
An article by Mr.. Dryden in the last pro-
ceedings OF the British Geological Society
says the days OF the giraffe are numbered.
A few years ago herds of seventy Or eighty
OF them were often met In various parts of
Africa. Dryden says that nineteen giraffes
are now large herd. They have been hunted
SO mercilessly, both by natives and foreign
sportsmeD. that they are rapidly becoming
extinct. The intelligent African king,
Khama, has, however, taken the giraffe un-
der his protection and hopes to save 1t from
exIermination. He has forbidden the hunting
OF the giraffe in his large domain, and in
this way he hopes they will multiply in his
country. 1t is an Interesting fact that
Russia has preserved the European bison
from extinction by setting apart forest In
Lithuanla for them and permitting no one
to modest them.

that his chronometer was out of order and
that lu1 in the wind at the moment OF the
accident aggravated matters. The court
calls the special attention of the British
Board of Trade TO the existence of the
strong currents setting in from the north
easterly direction to the southeast shore OF
Santa Rosa Island, which is on the ronte Of

The court says these currents are very dam
