THE MoNGoosE MUST GO.

Collector Thomas has received ad- vices from the treasury department at Washington granting permission for the landing of the two mongooses brought from Jamaica on the Admiral Sehley for the use of Dr. Gay, Of the University of Pennsylvania, who wish es to make scientific study of their habits The university will have to furnish a bond of S1,O0O that the ani- maIs will be killed within 10 days af- ter being landed. Such permission has never before been granted, on account of the destructive habits of the ami mals. B" hH
 There is considerable objection of the unscientific sort to the domestica- tion of the mongOose in this country owing to it's voracious appetite for poultry. The mongoose is the champion rat killer of the world, and for this req son is much valued. It will also kill the most venomous makes, for which purpose it is domesticated in India and highly prized there.
 The mongoose is about the size of a cat, and feeds on rats, mice and rep tiles, as we'll as birds. It is very fond of eggs, which leads it to search for those of the crocodile buried beneath the sand on the banks of the Nile and other rivers. The ancient Egyptians regarded 1t as sacred on this account. It is, however, equally fond of poultry, and their eggs, and it's depredatisns among fowls detract from it's merits as a vermin killer. In India the species hut a0ua11IT 0- eous. It is especially serviceable there as serpent killer, destroying not only the eggs and young of these creatures, but attacking and destroying the largest and poisonous snakes. The fact that it always survives these encount- CTS has led to the belief that it enjoys Immunity from snake poison, or that after being bitten it has recourse, as the Hindus have always maintained, to the root of a plant as an antidote.
 ; Neither of these suppositions has withstood the test of scientific exam ination, for it has been found that when actually bitten it falls victim to the poison as rapidly as do other animals, while there is no trustworthy evidence of it's seeking vegetable antidote. The truth is that the mongoose by it's great ability and quickness of eye avoids the fangs of the snake while fix ing it's own teeth in the back of the reptiles neck. One thing is certain, and that is that all serpents in ndia are afraid of the mongoose, and will run from it. .t,
 The mogoose was originally introduc- ed into Jamaica for the purpose of rid ding the sugar plantations of rats, but it has grown to be a greater pest than the rodent 1t was let loose upon.
 There are several interesting speci- mems of the mongoose in the geological gardens of Philadelphia. a.-Philadelph Telegraph.
