Madaga.car Hedgehog..

At the Regents Park m~enagerie in
London several living specimens of
"tenrec,' the hedgehog of Madagas-
car, were recently received. 1t is said
that stuffed specimens in museums
give no adequate idea of the form of
these strange animals. Their resem-
blance to he~dgehogs rests only upon
their possession of a spiny covering.
The shape of their bodies resembles
that of an inflated globefish. They
are in~sectivorous, and are said to be
restricted to the island of Madagas-
car. The specimens in London. at any
rate, are remarkable for their habit

Visited by Nude Savages.


ssCaptain Yule, says the Philadelphia
Press, 1.-THE veteran skipper of the British
steamship Myrtledene, which has just ar
rived from Antofagasta, Chile, with car
90 of silver and manganese ores, states that
while anchored in one Of the small harbors
in the Straits of Magellan, awaiting the
coming of daylight to continue through the
tortuous channel to the Atlantic, his YES
sci was boarded by band of nearly sixty
nude savages, and he supplied them with
food and clothing. In the party were
men, women and children, all copper col
ored. They were most docile despite the
fact that Captain Yule absolutely refused
to supply them with any liquor.
"We had between the point where |
stopped and the next available spot for
anchorages, said Captain Yuls, Aabout
10 miles to go, and as the sun was getting
low determined, as measure of safety,
to stop and await the coming of daylight.
We had hardly gotten the port anchor
overheard before our attention was attract
ed by figures emerging from huts on the
shore and rushing down toward the water.
Soon they swarmed into boats and We're
alongside. At first | thought of getting
under way, but this could not be done in
time to get away from them, so we vel
coined them on board, fearing all the time
that our last hours on earth were approach
ing
s'When they reached the deck they
made known by unmistakable signs that 1t
was rum they were after. | shook my
head and pointed to cask of fresh water,
which my men dealt out to them. 1t was
not to their liking, but they made no dis
turbance. Afterward we gave them sew
eral sacks of biscuits and all the old cloth
ing that it was possible to gather up. One
women attempted to put an old coat by
sticking her feet through the sleeves. The
mate showed her how it should be put on,
and she went over the ships side con-
tented with her costume, which consisted
only of the coat.
''In stature these savages are giants

dreary winter without clothing.
