A bushy-tailed and extremely wide
awake islander is the LuZon dwarf
fox, which is often caught in the
Sierras and Gagged as we would
cage gopher or weasel. "Perrito"
means literally doggy" and there is
really something puppyish about the
appearance Of the young hill foxes,
but their ears soon get too sharp to
leave a doubt about their affinity.
The perrito is true fox, although
not nearly as heavy as a Kentucky
foX-squirrel, and quite able to live on a
vegetable diet. He will eat bread, ber
ries and grapes, and the Filipinos even
get him used to boiled rice, favored
with a few drops of Oil; but the in
stincts of his species revive If he is
turned loose in room enlivened by
scampering rodents.
A nursing perrta hides her whelps
as best she can, bundling them away
in the darkest corner of an old cracker
box, or even in the lee OF jack-boot.
A week after they have their eyes
open the pretty little animals will ven

leaping match after a cockroach or
grasshopper, or roll about on the floor,
paving one another like playful kit

AS the days go by they become more
enterprising, and contrive to scrape n
gopher out Of his wire trap without
waiting for the assistance of their
keeper. In default of other fun. they
will tiptoe their way to the stove
where Newfoundland puppy lies snor-
ing on his rug. For minute or longer
they will stand. closely watching the
young giant; then they will crouch
down and approach with a catlike
wriggle, until one of them touches
the sleeper Upon that all will scamper
back, frightened at their own bold

screams of little monkeys. Tree cats
occasionally raid the top branches and
give the monkeys some reason for
screaming The hills echo the bay Of
wild dogs; wild pigs rustic about the
jungle, and jackals prowl along the
beach in quest of sea spoil. There are
three varieties Of deer in the uplands,
and all sorts of curious rodents can
be trapped in the Sierras.

! Plan For a Tunnel

Charles M. Jacobs, the consulting
engineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, has devised new system
for the construction of tunnels through
silt and other loose materials naturally
i'll adapted for such structures. In the
Scientific American this is said of his
device:
I'm driving tunnels through the Or
binary run of material. such as solid
rock, loose rock, cement, gravel or hard

No matter how widely some people
travel, they remain provincial, and
hold the village they live in as the
starting-point of all knowledge. A pri-

to Lincoln as the brother of the man
who gave the Fourth of July grafton

said to have fixed the town he hailed
from with equal precision.
He was present at a gathering of
noted scholars and professors in Ber-
lin. A distinguished German philolo-
gist, just introduced to him. asked what
part of America he came from.
"Andover," said the clergyman, with
proud confidence.

American.
