Persons who have visited the Nation
al Zoo for The past six Sundays have
been Interested in the growth and de-
velopment of the baby tapir at that
institution. The Ethiopian does not
change his color. and the leopard is
barred by Dame Nature from playing
the turncoat and wearing any design
other than spots. but the tapir dis
cards his stripes for more sober coat.
and that, too. in a highly interesting
manner When Baby Tapir was born
his stripes We're rather narrow and
indistinct. but by the time he had
reached the age of two or three weeks,
he was about the brightest, guadiest.
and showiest little beastie in the Zoo.
Not only were his longitudinal stripes
broad and we'll defined. but in addi-
ton, they We're in striking contrast
against the darker ground color. How
ever, as he grew older, his stripes be-
gan to vanish. First those about the
head began to disappear; then they
began to fade away on the shoulders:
now they are scarcely visible, and he
has assumed the dark brown color of
the adult tapir.
Although the tapir is a very peaceful
animal tine male ana female at the
Zoo being as tame and docile as pet
CATS, the female is quite able TO pro-
tect her little one when set upon by
dogs in the Brazilian forests. She has
way of swinging her head from side
to side and biting and cutting with her
harp canine and incisor teeth which
dogs and jaguars never fail to respect.
Although the Indians and whites OF
South America never undertook the
task of Demonstrating the tapir, still
it is no unusual sight to see tame ones
in the villages of South America. Up
in the hghli.n ds of Peru there is IA
species OF this animal known as the
I pinchaque, or wOolly tapir, which, ow
ing to its thick woolly coat of hair is
able to stand considerab bic cold. In a
small town in the highlands of Bolivia
son Tschudi saw a tapir which was
quite tame and which used to wander
about the village from door to door re-
| ceiVing tit-bits from the different
townspeople. The Indian ard negro
| boys used TO ride on its back until MIR.

The young man is connected with the

HE WAS DOOMED TO DIE
Charles kadeau Could Never have
Reached Phoenix Anyhow.

Justice Burnett returned yesterday
morning from Aqua Calientc, where lie
had gone to hold an inquest on the
body of Charles Nadeau. tie old man
who had been found dead near there.
Arriving at the springs. he found. as
vas printed in The Republican yester-
day morning. that an informal inquest
had been held and that though it was
not exactly authorized by law. it had
fully covered the ground and had also
covered the body of the dead man with
ground.
The justice accordingly did not go
out to the place where the body was
buried. but he impaneled d jury. sum
moned witnesses and otherwise sup
piemented the work of the jury which
had passed upon the case.
He had learned of the burial of the
body when he reached Sentinel. There
fore he left there the box which he had
taken along Tor the burial of Nadeau.

If Ike had not died where lie did he

springs water enough to reach 4 point
three miles beyond the place where h.
was found dead. The water had ali
been used up. Before leaving the
springs he said that he would depend
for water upon the Woolsey tanks. He
WAS told that the tanks were dry. but
he would not believe it. So if he haG
survived death where he died. he would
have died of thirst between the Wool

As was mentioned in the story OF
yesterday, two of his burros were
found dead. 1t was thought that they
might have died of thirst, but it ap-

was to tie all CT the burros together,

SmOOt Election.

Some of the State papers take a
rather pessimistic view of the cleo
ton of Mr.. Smoot to the Senate.
Some of them are of opinion that there
will be thunder popping" when he
attempts to take his seat. We do not
think that any thing very serious will
occur.
OF course the Ministerial Associa-
ton will make its usual appeal TO the
country i'm which it will point out the
awful danger that threatens If Nor
mon is allowed a seat admidst the au-
gust Senators. Petitions will be pre-
pared i'm Salt Lake and sent to all Of
the Endeavor, and Y. MIC. A. Societies
with requests to procure signatures,
and names will be sent i'm by the mil
lions, the Senate will be told how
many miles of them there are and how
kcenly every signer senses the awful
calamity about to fall on the nation If
poor Sn GOT be given seat. We will
wager Mr. Smoot never half realized
how dangerous an element he was in
the community.
The righteousness of the whole
thing will be apparent enough to the
Senators and after they have listened
TO few rampant speeches ON the
menace that Mormonism is to the
country, and probably heard some tes-
timony of the awful oaths Smoot has
taken against the government; they
will conclude like sensible men that a
belief in Mormonism does not disqual-
lily man from exercising the rights
of citizenship i'm our common country.
And outside of few disappointed Of
flee seekers and few ministers who
have failed in trying to make converts
from Mormonism and are jealous of its
growth, this decision will be approved
by the country.

At present there are two Senates one

has ousted several Republicans who
are entitled to seats which has lead to

The City Electric Light.

There has been considerable talk on
the streets lately about the city cleo
trio light proposition. There are
those who think that the suit now
pending before the Supreme court
could be hurried and a decision obtain
ed on the question involved If those
who have the matter in hand would
exert themselves.
In order to ascertain the facts our
reporter called upon the city attorney
and several members of the Council
and learned that every thing has been
done to push the matter that could be
done in reason. There has been con-
ditions which have contributed to de-
laying the case, but the case is most
certain to be considered by the Su-
preme Court at the February term.
The Mayor and Council are very an
xious to be doing something towards
installing the plant and just as soon
as the decision is rendered and the
money made available active work
will be commenced and pushed to
a speedy completion
