The kanRarOO'a Kick.


When big ''Old man" kangaroo stiff
ems his tail and converts 1t into sort
of revolving pivot bearing the whole
weight of his body, leaving his tremen-
dously powerful legs free for attack
and defense. everybody who does not
want to be ripped up or thrown in a
heap for a considerable distance will
give the marsupial wide berth. Only
those who have seen the full grown
kangaroo in his native Australian bush
with his back to tree, scattering dogs,
bleeding and torn, right and left, can
form any adequate idea Of the prodi-
gious strength the animal is capable of
exerting when he finds himself in a
tight corner. Kangaroos are now get
ting scarce in the southern parts Of
Australia. but they are still pretty nu-
merous in the thinly populated north.
