much smaller herds than formerly on the

appeared before the advance of the white

In spite of the experience OF the Austria

oeen able to turn the wild horses to good
account Hundreds of thousands of Mexi-
can mustangs have been reduced TO servi-

only 10 years after the horse was intro

Naturalists often discuss the question
whether there Is now in the world such a.
creature as an aboriginal or truly wild
morse. we know very we'll that the wild
horses OF the western hemisphere are all
descendants of dOmesticated animals.

Aside from TINS feature the collection Is

In these mountains Professor Lennon
found very large cypress that has hitherto
been unknown to botanists. Aside from
this valuable discovery he secured speci-
mems OF four very interesting varieties of
pines, one OF which is in all probability a
variety new to the United States, but is
found in Mexico. The professor found
evidences leading him to believe that this
Mexican zine Is straying off up into this
country. On scarcely any other hypothesis
could its existence in Arizona be accounted

have burst clouds and miIdams and almost
ruined their imaginations in their frantic en-

Very young students, in their first attempts

shot in New South Wales alone In 1875.
These TOyeTS OF the plain play the mischief
with domesticated animals when they come
among them, and the colonists are very much
disguised to observe that the noble horse,

not enjoyed his superior advantages
