Lander Wyo., Feb. 24.-At least in
point of area. Uncle Sam has the lar
gest ZOO in the world, though there are
others into which are huddIed a greater
variety of animal life. This is the Vel
lowstone National park, embracing
5000 square miles, where roam at will
uncounted herds of wild animals in
digenous to the cOuntry-buffalo, elk,
deer, antelope and the like
The Yellowstone park is an ideal and
unique big game preserve, and as there
is no open season here the animals are
safe from the huntsman, becoming alb
solutely fearless of injury from man.
Although they are as wild as the wild
est mountain forest can produce, every
species knows to a nicely the boundary
of the preserve and keeps within it.
Even the timid deer have lost their
sense of fear and the noise Of dis
charging gun has no terror for them.
It is not an unusual thing to see a
group of them grazing within a few
rods Of posthouse or hotel, apparent

them under Uncle Sans protecting
care The firing of the shutdown gun
a twelve pounder-will not cause them
to stop munching the bunch grass
which they have kicked up under the
snow. But the hauling down of the
flag will attract their curious attention
much more than the noise Of the gun.
The park is patrolled thoroughly by
the government to prevent the shooting
of the animals. Two troops of cavalry
are divided into single scouts and pa
troll the 5000 square miles of the park
constantly, and as the years go by and
this plan is continued the game comes
to know and not to fear its humap pro-
tectors. Poachers receive fair trial be-
fore United States judge, but if it ap-
pears that they are on the reservation
for the purpose of destroying the game
they are dealt with in accordance with
the severe laws provided. -
Public sentiment among the residents
surrounding the park has been awak-
ened, and their sympathies, which at
first seemed not to be favorable to the
plan of game preservation, have now,
become thoroughly in harmony with
the intent of the government.
Under these wise provisions the
numbers of each species have greatly
increased until now the park is full

In the passive contemplation of what

In late years black and brown bears
have been increasing in numbers and
can be seen at any time feeding on the
CABBAGE piles at the camp posts and ho-
tells. These bears are perfectly harm-
less so long as they are kept in wild
state. but when they are fed and pet
ted, as some of them have been in the
past, they lose all fear of human be-
ings and are liable to do considerable
damage to property and provisions.
They are also liable to frighten tour
lists by following them with the expec-
tation of being fed. Several of the
black and brown bears that had been
too thoroughly civilized had to be killed
last summer because of their sociable
instincts
. One of the most interesting expert
ments which are being conducted in the
Yellowstone park at present is the en-
deavor to raise buffaloes. At the last
session of congress $4,000 was appro-
priated in bill for the purpose Of pro-
viding an Enclosure and securing a
small herd of buffaloes. This intention
on the part Of the national legislators
has been carried out, the Enclosure has
been provided and small herd estab-
lished within it. The buffaloes are ap-
parently doing well, and as the herd in
creases they will be given the freedom
of the entire park
In the matter of fishing the policy Of
the government is less restrictive than
In hunting. Trout fishing is allowed in
the park, and In the clear lakes and
mountain streams much fine sport can
be had. That there ma be no cessa-
ton to this sport it has been recon-
mended that small fish hatchery shall
be established in the park. Seven mil
lion black spotted trout were Matched
In Yellowstone lake last season.
Yellowstone park has been aptIy des-
ignated s1he wonderland OF the United
States and is year by year attracting
tourists in increasing numbers. Con-
gress has begun to realize the worth of
this game reservation, and the appro-
priatfons which have been made dur
ing the past few years have been such
as to permit of many improvements to

Much has been done in the way of road
