The white rhinoceros demands some special opt'

physical characteristics and partly because OF tno

unicorn sort OF horse-shaped brute with single
straight horn protruding from its forehead. Ana
every schoolboy has probably been told that there
never was such a creature. save In imagination;
which is doubtless quite true. Yet modern science
not only destroys some old-time beliefs. but VIM
