Bigness Gets a Fall

Two little red-cheeked girls Of Nashville,
Tenn, who weigh seventy and eighty
pounds respectively, captured an alleged
pickpocket who is six feet tall and weighs
200 pounds.
The young heroines, who attend the Riv-
ihgton Street school, are Sadie Hoffman,
aged II, and Minnie Nacht, l2 years cid.
The prisoner is Morris Greenburg, 20 years
old. He has been held in 1850 bail for
trial

him. His collar and scarf were torn to

prisoner dropped a purse down a cellarway.
The Hoffman girl made a rush for the
purse and handed II TO the policeman. The

animal It pictures, however, is most
uncommon thing to people living on this
side Of the grand old globe. The platypus
Is known TO scientists as the ornithorhyn-
chus paradoxus, the last portion Of this
Latinized title clearly indicating that even
the wise men Of these times regard the
animal as a seven days wonder. The
platypus has a beavers fur and tail,
webbed feet, a ducks bill, and within the
bill an excellent set OF teeth. 1t nour-
ishes its young on milk. which, instead OF
being furnished through the usual con-
trivances with which nature provides NAM
mails, is expressed through a series OF holes
in the skin. Altogether a most remark
able creature.
The bear in our show halls from North
Borneo and Is known as a bruang. The
animal is in It's natural color, dark brown,
within a violet frame II ls much easier
to obtain than the American bear, which
was shown on provisional issue Of the

The antelope is part OF the arms Of Rho

portion OF British South Africa. Another
species Of antelope known as the sasin,
is on the stamps OF Nowanuugur Those
patrons Of the big show who are not ac-

may be informed that Nowanuggur is a

Omaha HAD the only.

The United States government has paid
little attention to dumb animals IN the
decoration OF its stamps. having Lraoti-
cally confined ali efforts in this direction
TO the Transmisslssippl issue OF 1888 on
various stamps of which are shown the
buffalo and few domestic animals. This
country honors It's great men by dscorat-
ing its stamps with their pictures; the
faces Of the sovereigns Of Great Britain
have long monOpolized the stamps Of that
great country, but happily for the stamp
zoo, there are lands which make spe-
cialty Of animal issues and these form
one of the most interesting and enter
tanning studies OF philately.
It will be surprising TO many to learn
what a long list of dumb creatures are
portrayed in lifelike representation on
postage stamps. And this, too, exclusive
of the mythical and conventional charac-
tiers such as the dragon Of China, the sea-
horse Of Barbados, tho mermaid Of Portu-
gal the sphinx Of Egypt, the double
headed eagle of Austria and dozen
others forming a class 70 themselves.
The animal stamps of interest to the
BIOLOGIST and entitled 70 place in the
stamp ZOO are those bearing portraits OF
the creatures made with all due regard
for accuracy in detail The writer re-
Gently saw collection containing ffty
different quadrupeds and the collector ex-
planned that his particular hobby was to
gather animal stamps which had served
as mail carriers and arrange them in a
little album which he designated as his
"menagerie." Here he had everything
from the aurochs Of Reumauia to the
peculiar duck-bill platypus Of Tasmania

II appears that the popularity Of stamp
Zoos is due to the fact that the little
letter carriers Of the beast, bird and rep
tile class are as easily obtainable as they
are pretty and interesting.
Looking about US on our visit to the
stamp ZOO we are attracted by an inscrip-
ton. "Guyane Franchise" above strange
looking creature. This Is the ant eater from
French Guinea, on tho northern coast Of
South America. 1t Is also sometimes re-
ferred TO as the ant bear. Scientists give
It the more dificult title. Tnyrmecophaga
jubata, and It is a glowing tribute to the
mild spirit of the animal that It has never
resented this. The ant eater belongs to the
armadillo family and frequently attains' a
large size. 1t Ia powerful and well able
to take care OF itself in clashes with other
creatures, but It subsists entirely on ants.

Baby Animals from Africa.
Baby animals are always interesting, and
for that reason group in another corner
Of the zoo must attract attention. II 10
composed - tpby camel standing at the
side Of It's mother. The stamp is from
Nyassa, a Portuguese colony In Africa and
is companion piece TO another interesting
exhibit In the menagerie. the giraffe The
two stamps are Of the same set and were
issued In 1901. The giraffe holds sway on
all from the "a reis up to and including
the 60-rels. A baby camel and it's mother
appear on the 7b-reis and remain in evil
dence untn the end Of the set is reached
with the s0o-reis Obock, the French pos
session in Africa has some pretty triangu-
lar stamps showing the camel. The ObOck
camel Is Of the twe-hump dromedary type,
but as will be testified TO by any we'll
informed naturalist Is not Of q distinct
type.
In proximity to the camels the ZOO Wis
iter naturally finds his genial highness, the
elephant. There are African, Asiat.c and
white elephants In the stamp show The
African is a fine fellow from the Congo
Free State, who however, appears to be In
desperate straits, as he is closely beset
by naked natives poising dangerous looking
spears which they are about TO sink into
his hide. This stamp is in two colors, the
black center being framed In lilac in the
issue Of 1894. and in rose or carmine in
the issue Of 1901. It is in but one denom-
nation, / franc. The Asiatic elephant is
pictured on a group of stamps of the Fed
Grated Malay States, each stamp showing
several of the paehyderms.
The white elephant is exhibited by the
Marking (China) LEGAL post. There are
two Of the curious animals and they stand
cycling each other solemnly while outside
OF the obiong panel on which they are pre-
scented two ferocious dragons are raging
like wild. The set Of stamps to which they
belong IS rated high artistically and for
this reason and because Of their inexpen-
sNeness are popular.
The eco might have drawn from two or
more sources for it's specimens Of the
tiger, but selected the Malay States. The
tiger is shown in full form, spring1ng from
his lair. The stamp is printed with It's
center differing in color from the sur
rounding inscription and frame. and is to
DO had in various combinations and many
denominations.
OF the monkey family an exhibit is
