Burned to Death.

Dover, N. H.-Fire that DESTROYED
mill No. 1 of the Cocheco Manufacture

lives of four and probably five young
mill operatives and a property loss of
half million dollars. The bodies of
four boys, burned beyond recognition,
were found in the ruins, and as five
boys are known to be missing, it is
believed another body will be discover

500 or more operatives had assembled
for the days work. Friction from a
belt generated sparks which lodged

Coats, especially of the deliberately

is an extreme from the short coats of

Marriage mong Animals.

Il have several times seen male
and female wolf together at a time
when the sexual passion is dormant;
and yet the male showed the female
more attention than he would had she
been simply a smaller male. This
points to permanent partnership.
In the London zoo is pair of
wolves, officially called Lobo and
Blanca. The male is from western
Texas, the female from Arizona. they
are good typical examples of the
gray or buffalo wolf of those high
plains.
They have been there for five
years and are supposed to be seven
years old. They bred in 1908, produc-
ing nine cubs, and in 1904 eight The
father has always been kept away
from the young, so it is not known
whether he has any parental feelings.
These two old wolves live in har-
mony except when the keepers come
to the cage. Both are fond of being
noticed, and eager to monopolize all
attention; each strives jealousy to
be next to the bars, pushing the
other way, barking and growing
meanwhile with bristling name and
evident temper.
"Lobo often springs at his mate as
though to bite her, but is always re-
strained at the last moment by some
thing-what is it, if not a feeling
akin to chivalry.
I'm these quarrels If Blanca sees
that she has gone too far, she apollo
gizes by licking Lobo's face in con-
ciliatory manner, always effectual.
"The fact that the male shows chiv.
alrous feeling, and that the pair con-
tinues as mates in the autumn and
winter, when the sexual instinct is
dormant, are partial evidences that
the wolves pair for life."-Ernest
Thompson in American Magazine.
