Zebra Mule, for Army Use.

According to the Calcutta English-
a the Indian army remount depart
ment has recently imported two zebra
mules through q Hamburg agent. We
have been unable, says our contempor-
airy, to find out the price paid for the
animals. but the innovation has, with
out doubt, cost the remount department
dear. AS IN experimental measure Of
the right kind eve this outlay is not to
be grudged. The unfortunate losses we
have suffered through the horse sick
ness among transport animals call for
some immediate remedy, and we see the
remedy in the employment of zebra
mules. The donkey is perfectly inn
mune from horse sickness and SO is the
zebra. The latter animal in particular
Is extremely hardy, Is appears from
the fact that when the rinderpest swept
the eastern and central portions Of
Africa in the early nineties the per-
centage of deaths among zebras Is said
to have been very small indeed. A
mule. therefore, out of two such hardy
parents as the donkey and the zebra
Is undeniably the transport animal re-
Equired for the army. The Germans
have already discovered the value Of
the zebra, as their extensive zebra
farms at the foot Of Mount Killiman-
jaro testify.
