this kind in the kingdom, from parrots
TO panthers, with liberal showing of
all kinds OF rare and curious beasts and
birds. Driving through what has now be-
come known as ''Jack the Ripper's Land,
was first of all amused at the sarcasm of
the street nomenclature. 'King's Row"
was desperately squalid and filthy, and
its outdoor denizens were mostly very
drunk. MiddeseS street seem peopled
with the ghosts of its victims murdered
by the mysterious destroyer. White
chapel road with its ''London Hospital"
and not far OFF its "People's Palace"
for the poor and lonesome ones, are
bright, clean spots in this sanguinary
region.
Jamrach's is reached all too soon. A
shabby, unprctentious doorway, having
nothing in particular to mark it as differ
cnt from several small-fry bird shops or
the dull, crooked ones in the same
street. The door opens with sharp
ring and discloses square, sawdust- be-
sprinkled room. Besides the scores and
scores of birds in cages there is only
hcavy-loolking but good country
lad in the room, who addresses one in
broad Somersetshire dialect, which
sounds still more quaint by contrast to
the Cockney lingo all around this par
ticu'ar portion of the metropolis.
Briefly explaining to the lad my mis-
sion he Immediately conducted me along
n narrow passage, crammcd full of i'm
ages, and curios on high shelves, until
the private office of the present Jamrach,
the son Charles of the noted dealer in
animals was Tearhed. Like his father,
Charles loves all animals, and he possesses
the same extraordinary power ofsubduing
the widest, most untalnable creatures.
These learn the sound OF tho voice and are
quick to difTerentiate that of the trainer.
MIR. Jamrach believes that certain ami
mails are better managed by certain peo-
pie than others ore on the theory IN
common with the particular human be-
ing with whom they thus affiliate, to
use strong expression.

Presently am conducted to the cage
of the celebrated breed of pigeons, which
arc known as tho "blecding hearts."
Their plumage is silvery white or gray,
while on the breast spot or splash
blood red-suggests that the bird has
been crually stabbed. The illusion is
perfect, even the darker red spots, like
CONCEALED blood, fringing the sanguinary
edges of the apparent wound.
The bird that repels me, scares me, in
fact, is the vampire bat. 1t hangs by its
claws on the perch, dragging open its
fan-like wings with swishing sound. I
grow faint as hear that in the tropic
and whence it comes it enters the sleep
ing-room of tie unwary traveller, swishes
its wings about, lulling the victim into
deeper sleep, then softly, silently, with
deadly purpose, settles on the feet of the
victim, uncovered, most likely, in that
hot atmosphere, and with diabolical
thirst draws the blood, drop by drop,
from the flesh. 1 turn even from the
attendant, who lets down date in the
open beak Of the vampire, land conclude
none but ignoble natures could affiliate
with such a monster. Meantime the
creature has rolled itself in its wings and
hangs like big cocoon from its spidery
perch.
AS leave, thanking Mr.. Jamrach,
add, "NIay the god of prosperity keep
good guard over this half-rentury- old
establishment, known throughout all
countries as the one and only Jamrach. -

the heads of five OF the sultan's taxgath-

patched force from Themcen, sixty
eight miles southwest of Oran, to seize
