Appearance Of the Mnsk.Ox.

The appearance of the musk-ox is so
odd and striking that when once seen
il is seldom forgotten. You see an
oblong mass of tremendously long
brown hair, four and half feet high
by six and half long, supported upon
wide hoofs aud very short, thick legs,
almost hidden by the body hair. There
is also a blunt and hairy muzzle, IL
pair of eyes, pair of broad, tlatteue |
horns that part like woman's hair
and drop far downward before they
curve upward and that is all. Tho
mass of hair is SO thick that ns the
robe lies on the floor it is about as
easy to walk over as IL feather bed.
Over tho loins you will find, if you
look closely, a broad "saddle-mnrk" OF
dirty white hair, sho ter than the rest
of the coat.
Next to the body is matted mass
of very fine and soft hair, like clean
wool, so dense that TO snow and fog it
is quite impenetrable. Over this lies
thick coat of very long, straight
hair, often twelve inches in length and
sometimes twenty like the grass raiu-
coat of aJapauese soldier. Sometimes
it actually touches the snow as tho
animal walks. st. Nicholas.

A Frog in the Elephant,s Trunk.

Jess, the big elephant belonging to
Sells ~ Rentfrow's circus, was slumber.
ing quietly on the ground in the
menagerie tent at Salt Lake City,
Utah, when n frog, mistaking the
nozzle of her trunk for hole in the
ground, jumped into it. Nothing 50
terrorizes an elephant as the presence
of live insect or animal in its trunk,
and the big brute broke loose and
went on rampage.
The keepers were eating their lunch
at the time, and the menagerie tent
was entirely deserted. A great crash
was heard, and the men rushed back
just in time to see jess go through the
side of the tent and amble OFF toward
the business centre of the city. A
scene of wreckage was presented
within the tent. The big brute had
broken her chain, apparently, and
amused herself by tossing the cages
about before leaving. Four cages
were thrown over on their sides as
though they were so many toys. and
then the elephant walked right through
lhO pANO VI bhN bNhNs hN NbHNn hNl =
those containing tho badgers, hedge
hogs, monkeys and kangaroos, but
fortunately none of the animals were
Injured and very little damage was
done to the wagons.
Fifteen mounted men were sent in
pursuit of the elephant jess came
straight down town and astonished the
few pedestrians on the street by pro.
menading up and down Main stre, t.,
occasionally striking the curb with
her trunk and uttering cries of dis
tress.
Mr.. Sells was with the men who
overlook her, and soon discovered the
cause of her discomfort. BY com
pressing the trunk the frog was forced
down, and finally blown out by the
elephant, She then became docile aud
was taken back to the tent. Denver
