A Kanearoo Colony Near London.

If we were to break suddenly upoE London cyolist and tell him that with in 90 miles of his great city there was 9 colony of wild kangaroos, he would probably either regard us as peryerteri of the truth or of being in immediate need of straitjackee Yet we are as. sured on the highest authority that such is the case, the colony existing on Leith Hill common. Abort Il years ago some kangaroos escaped from Wootton House. where they had been kept ill confine ment. They took up their quarters near Leith hill and have remained and mul- tiplied there ever since. It seems strange that such emblems of the far west should exist in wild state where the great throb of London might almost be selt and where the hum of the wheel during the summer months is almost an unceasing song. = London Bicycling News.

THE YUKON MOSQUITO.
Drives Moose and Carbon to tho Snow
 Line and stings Bears Blind.

Drives Moose and Caribou to the Snow
 Line and stings Bears Blind.
 Not only do the Yukon mosquitoes attack men and overwhelm them, but they driye the moose, deer and caribou up the mountains to the snow line, where these animals would prefer not to be in berry time. They kill dogs, and even the big brown bear, that is often misealled grizzly, has sueoumb- ed to them. Bears ccro down to the river from the hillside ill the early fall to get some of the salmon that arc often thrown upon the banks when the "run" is heavy.
 If bruin runs foul of a swarm of mos- quitoes and has not his wits about him his day has come. The insects will alight all over him. His fur protects his body, but his eyes, ears and nose will soon be swollen up and bleeding, and unless he gets into a river or a strong wind he will be driven mad and blind, to wander about hopelessly until he starves to death.
 Although the.Alaska summer is short, two broods of mosquitoes hatch out each year, and are ready for business from one to ten seconds after they leave the water. It rains good deal along the Yukon, and rain is welcomed, for it drives the mosquitoes to cover. They hide under leaves and branches until the shower is over; then they come out boiling with rage at the time they have been forced to spend in idleness, and the miner has harder time than ever after his respite.
 Mosquitoes and snowfakes are not contemporaries in the States, but in Alaska it is different. Snow does not bother them sc much as rain, and aA early snow may fall while they are still on the wing. Fog does not choke them either. They appear to like it. They float about in it as in ambush and take the unwary prospector by surprise. -' Denver Times.

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.

 oI course knew there was young chil. dfen i'll the house. It was put there te Keep 'em from falling down stairs. It. was low, 1 guess about two feet and a half high, and 1t swung when closed rom the post at tho top of tho stairs across to strip nailed to the wall op- posite.

 There was long hall on the second floor of this house, with this stairway pretty near at the front end of it. I went into room way back at the oth- CT end, and while I was looking around there l upset something on the bureau and woke up man in the bed.

 l made break for the door and sprinted along the hall, throwing my light and catching sight of that gate again and smiling to myself as I saw 1t. Iswung it around shut after me as passed and went on down the stairs, leaving the man up stairs coming along the hall overhead with a rush.
 But it's all right, I says to my self; the gate'll stop him long enough for me to get out easy. But, by snakes, it didn't stop him at all. On the con traTy, it helped him. Just as I was stepping down from the last step on to the floor of the hall below the man fell on my back. He'd been coming along the hall above so fast that he couldn t stop himself, and he fell over the gate, turned summerset in the air on the staircase and came down a heap faster'n did and landed on me. Instead of breaking his own back he pretty near broke mine
 We rolled over and over on the floor in the hall, the man laughing fit to kill. That's the sort of man he was. It was the funniest thing he'd run up against in long time.
 He never once thought of stopping me, not once, but he says, when he was letting me out, If you should come again, don't shut the gate. "-New York Sun.
