WHAT IS 4 WILD GAIT
4 Is Not Domestic Pussy Gone Wild Com
missioner Carleton Defines The Animal.

The following is copy of letter that
Mr.. Carleton. chairman of the game
commissioners, wrote to a town treasurer
in answer to inquiries as to what wild
cat is, which may be of some interest
to our readers:
My Dear Sir-Your question In refer
ence to the legal meaning of the term
wild cat as applied to animals. has
been received. l inclose definition and
descriptions from Tenny's Zoology. Cent
ury Dictionary. Johnson and Appleton
Cyclopedia. From these and other
works have come to the conclusion that
there are two distinct species of the lynx
that pass under the common appelation
of wild cats viz The bay lynx, (Ru-
fus). and the Canada lynx. l.. Canadensis
Raf., also commonly known as the loup-
cervier.
One authority says that these species
have been known to be crossed with the
common cat, forming a mongrel species
but these two are the only distinct spe-
cies found in our woods.
The cougar. or American panther is
described as an inhabitant of Canada.
but | have never heard that one of that
species has been seen or killed in Maine
| think you will be entirely safe and Just
in declaring the law of 1897 in reference
to bounty on wild cats. as applicable to
the two species above mentioned and to
no other animals.
All the authorities unite in the opinion
that wild eats have short tails and have
only Is teeth. or four less molar teeth
than the domesticated eat. So / think
you can have little difficulty in deciding
the matter. No doubt there may be in
Maine near old camps. domestic cats
which have returned in a measure to the
original wild state.
When they are dead, however they are
as tame as pussy in the corner. and can
not be distinguished a different spe-
cies. and therefore the killer cannot be
entitled TO a bounty. since they have too
many teeth and too much tail to pass for
wild cats.

FAMED IN HISTORY.

The sacred crocodiles of Egypt were
buried with her proudest kings.
The Sandwich islanders believe that
the souls of their deceased monarchs
reside in the ravens and they entreat
Europeans not to modest them.
The calf, the white COW of Siam, the
hawk, the ape, the ibis, the cat, the asp,
the crocodile, dogs, beetles, frogs, mice
and rats have all been held in reverence
in different sections Of the globe.
Spiders have played important parts.
1t is said when Mahomet fled from
Mecca he hid in u cave and spider wovc
a web over the entrance. When his
pursuers came thitherthey saw the web
end believed no one was there. It is said
n spider performed the same kindly act
for David when Saul was hunting him.
Swine were aEhorred in Crete, weasels
at Thebes, rats and mice in Troas. por-
cupines in Persia, the lapwing in New
Mexico, bulls in Benares, serpents in
Greece and many of the African coun-
tries. The Hindoos never modest
snakes; they call them fathers, broth
ers, friends and other cndearing names.
On the coast Of Guinea a hog happen
ing to kill snake, the king gave orders
that all the swine should he destroyed.

tinue through the week.
Those present today said ave ere
meeting simply for the purpose OF
creating harmony and union aa'ong

looking towards consultations in the
sense OF a silver trust. What we
want to do is to establish the smelt-
