4 SAVAGE aARsuplAL.
An Australian Mamna1 That Is s Whole
Menagerie In Itself.


Menagerie In Itself.
The so called zebra wolf of Australia
is also called the native tiger; but,
strange to say, it is not even cousin to
zebra, wolf or tiger, belonging to the
same family as the kangaroo, the slow
and gentle wombat and the sly old opos-
sum-all those animals that carry their
babies in their pockets.
The eyes, which are large, are furnish
ed with a membrane, like the eyes of
owls, and this is called the nictitating
membrane. This is almost continually
moving in the daytime, as the eyes are
exposed to more or less of sunshine.
Without this membrane the amount of
light admitted through the large pupil
would puzzle the zebra wolf.
The general color of the somewhat
short woolly fur is grayish brown,a little
inclined to yellowish. Across this ground
color the black bands show up sharp
and clear. These stripes are usually ID
in number, beginning just back Of the
shoulders. where they are narrowest,
and growing broader and longer back of
the launches. The skins are in demand
for lap robes and rugs, which gives an
added reason for hunting the wearers.
Two zebra wolves were taken to the
geological gardens in London, where
they fourished and raised a family.
When they came, it was thought Great
Britain would be too cold for them,
but there seems to be no reason why
they should not thrive even in Canada,
as they have been known to live on the
mountains OF Tasmania, $500 feet
above the sea level, where the ground is
sometimes covered with snow for many
weeks and frosts are severe.
Do you wonder that his name is
slightly mixed? The marvel is that he
is not named menagerie and done with
it, for with his doglike face and short
wolf ears, eyes like an owl, zebra stripes
and pouch like kangaroo, his mixed
pickle beastship could answer to almost
any name you might wish to call him.
When he becomes extinct, we can truly
say We nee shall see his like again.

It is believed that the first ELECTRIC

was a Jablochkoff candle, used as TO-

1878. The managers Of the theater at
that time were Messrs. Barton & Hill,
General Barton and Frank Lawler. The

there is not a theater in the United
