which he is best known is kinkajou.
He is sometimes called honey bear,

than to the bear tribe. The Zoo peo.
pie have placed him in the monkey
house, and no appears to be at home

The kinkajou comes from Central
and South America. He is as large as
big cat, and seems to be cross be-.
tween the 'possum. the coon, the bear
and the monkey. His tail is longer
than his body and is prehensile. His
tongue is long, and is used for drag
ging insects and other kinkajou deli
cacies out of crevices.
The kinkaiou lives on mice. birds,
eggs, honey ond frnit. Bananas and
oranges are particularly desirable from
his point o view. The kinkaiou can

Tho Thriving Alaskan Reindeer.

The schooner Ida Scbnauer hos

cargo OF ivory and whalebone. She
brought one passenger, ]. @. Wedstad,
superintendent OF the Government
station at that point, who Is bound for
Washington.
The reindeers introduced into
Alaska some years ago from Siberia
are reported to be fourishing. the
herd numbering exactly 1900. Four
hundred and fifty Of these are at Port
Clarence, where On increase OF 1872 Is
reported this season. The animals
ore prospering under the care OF
Laplanders who went north under
contract to the Government three
years ago. Wedstad's mission to the
capital Is to draw up another contract.
He will also recommend plan which,
if carried into effect, will be OF much
benefit to the Northwest Territory.
The plan in brief is to establish a
number of reindeer relay stations to
bring about communication with the
extreme north; even Point Borrow,
the northernmost settlement, to be
included. This can be done at small
expense to the Government and will
be of lnestlmable benefit to fishermen,
whalers, revenue cutters aud miners,
particularly the latter, between Ce ok's
Inlet and the Yukon. No outlay
would be required except for the
station buildings, as the animals are
trained and the Laplanders only too
