GIFT FROM ABYssINIA.
Arrival Of a Grevy Zebra at the
Zoo

"Zebrotds" are the next thing in the line
of domestic animals that the public may
look for. These are not house pets and
there is no prospect of their becoming the
fad of the rich or being fondled on the
hearthrug. They are intended as q substi-
tute for the humble, but willing mule, and
the possible progenitor of a long zebroid
line has just arrived in Washington. He IS
a Grevy zebra, present to this country
from one of the governors of Abysstnia.
There was pair of them when they start
ed from Abyssinia for this country, but the
female died and the male alone survived
the journey.
The experiment Of crossing the zebra with
the mare has been tried in South Africa and
has been reported great success, The new
hybrid Is said to be larger and stronger
than the mule, tmpervious to the tstZe ny
and Indifferent to the rhinderpeste. These
are valuable features. To be sure this coun-
try does not boast the tstZe fly and the
rhinderpeste is not a native ailment. But
1t is thought that If a race of simon pure
zebroids is introduced 1t will be the real
thing for the western country They are
hardy to a degree and 1t is said that they
can live under conditions that would make
the humble mule look like g. sybarte and
thrive on diet TO which mesquite beans
and cactus would be epicurean fare.
Mr.. Grevy, whom it has thought of nam
ing Teddy for no obvious reason, has been
quartered at the Zoo. and will be kept there
TILL warm weather, when he VIII be shipped
to some of the agricultural depart
ment's numerous experiment stations. While
he is at the Zoo, it is expected that some
experiments will be tried with him to see
whether he is altogether satisfactory. There
is some question about this, as the smaller
zebra, who has been resident of the Zoo
for some time, has proved Indifferent to
the American brood mare, and has been
given up by the earnest investigators of
the bureau of animal industry.
Better things are hoped from Mr.. Grevy.
He is bigger and stronger than the Brule
zebra, and 1t is thought that he will prove
the forebear of line of native animals
that will do more to put the mule out of
business than the trolley or the auto
mobile.
While we cannot boast any native disease
or parasite that has already proved deadly
to the mule, 1t is thought that the extra
tough, case-hardened constitution of the
zebroid will be actually drought resisting
OF course the camel can go eight days with
out drinking, though no one would want to
be a camel But the camel is not fitted 10
the strenuous life of the west 1t is
thought or, at least 1t is hoped, that the
zebroid viii be. and IL such proves to be the
case. Kentucky will have to adopt the new
order of things and in the future one may
expect to hear of the Kentucky zebroid,
while bidding vale forever to the kentucky
mule.

ICE ON THE RIVER.
Expected It Will Form an Inch Thick
Tonight.

In spite of the rough water in the river
ice formed last night, but not in quantity
sufficient to interfere with navigation on
the river. The rivermen, however. are
looking for an inch or more OF ice over the
entire river tonight. The ice last evening
was forming on the windward side of the
river, and, blowing over to the leeward,
was gradually making a widening sheet,
which. It is stated, will eventually extend
across the river.
Those along the river front who keep
track Of the weather say that a February
freeze seldom amounts to much, and the
opinion is, even should ice form to any ex
tent, 1t will last but short time and Will
Interfere but little with the movements of
steamby ats, though II may seriously i'm
pede the movements OF sailing vessels
Reports from nearby creeks along the
river are to the effect that they are all COW
cred with ice and that the country people
are waiting for Il TO get thick enough TO
cut and store in the ice houses for use next
sum mer.
