A KANGAROO FARM.

Established to Provide supply of the
Graceful Animals for Pets.
The increasing popularity of kanga-
roos and wallabies as pets has led 10
a curious departure in farming at Lyn-
combe Hill, where the first kangaroo
farm In this or any other country has
been established, says the London Elk
press
The founders of this enterprise are
two Englishmen, Messrs. w. H. Payne
and Jack" Wallace, who probably
know more about the unexplored wilds
of Northwest Australia than any per-
sons living who are not native bush
men. Their wanderingsin the remotest
of savage Austraiasian districts cover
period OF more than thirty years, and
they are both seasoned bushmen, keen
naturaIists and skilled trappers.
They were the first persons to bring
the beautiful and valuable antelopine
kangaroo to this country, and at Lyn-
combe Hill they have just effected
remarkable success in breeding from
this species, one of the does having
care of a youngster-the prettiest and
liveliest little fellow imaginable, with
dainty little head exactly ike that
of an Italian greyhound.
An Express representative vas shown
over the kangaroo farm by Mr.. Payne,
who is now in charge Of Bath, while
Mr.. Wallace is securing new collec-
ton of animals, which are to arrive
from the antipodes next April.
Mr.. Payne first led the way into the
nursery-a large, bright apartment,
heated very near to ropica! tempera-
ture. Comfortably quartered here We're
several young wallabies, with the lit
tie antelopine infant and its mother.
The buildings and paddocks of the
farm cover about four acres, and they
are surrounded by high stone wall.
The latter Is an essential on kanga-
roo farm, for, as Mr. Payne pointed
out an Oldham kangaroo is wonder
full jumper. Heights Of ten feet and
lengths of twenty feet are not uncom-
mon," he added; ''and | have myself
measured a jump along the ground OF
eighteen feet in the large paddock
here"
1t was interesting to see aalf dozen
antelope kangaroos in one of the pad
docks hustling one another to secure a
slice of bread Mr.. Payne carried. They
boxed and wrestled just like human be-
ings.
1.-The rarest kangaroos in England
are to be seen in the Belle Vue Gar
dens, Manchester" said Mr.. Payne,
"and they nearly all went from this
farm. but the most interesting fact In
relation to our kangaroo farm Is that
we are doing a steadily increasing busi-
ness with country gentlemen, with
whom the idea of having kangaroos at
large in their parks is becoming very
popular. Wallabies also are being
bought in large numbers by well-to-do
people"
Kangaroos are docile and sensible
pets. and they require very little at
tention. In the summer they live
mainly on grass and sleep out of doors;
In winter they require a shelter such as
park deer have. and they do best on
diet of crushed maize.

THOSE CONCRETE HOUSES.
Eminent Philanthropist Will Build
City of Edison Homes.


Working together, Thomas A. Edison,
wizard of East Orange, n j., and
Henry Phipps, a New York millionaire,
believe they can solve the tenement
house problem.
They plan to do this by erecting an
entire city of concrete houses, Mr.. Bdi-
son having perfected plans recently
whereby he says. he can build within
u hours and at a cost of from ST 900 to
$1,000 a beautiful nine-room house,
suitable for two families Each apart
ment of these double houses can be
rented probably at $3.50 a month, &C.
cording to Mr. Edison, thus saving to
the working man now paying $40 a
month for a two-room home i'll the tene-
ments, enough money each month to
cover his carfare expenses to and from
his work.
Mr.. Phipps, who in 1905 gave $1,000
900 for the erection of model tenements
in New York City, recently spent an
afternoon liz Mr.. Edison's laboratory at
East Orange, discussing with him the
possibilities of the cement or concrete
house. The steel manufacturer was ac-
companied by cops of architects,

poured streams of water into the burn
ing tenement.
That the fire was tbs work of incen-
diaries who sought revenge is the opin-
ion of the police and firemen. Three
weeks ago three Italians were caught
attempting to rob a safe in the saloon
of Giuseppe Cudano on the ground
floor The safe contained more than
$1,000 which the saloonlleeper's friends
had withdrawn from banks during the
money furry. The would-be robbers
were arrested and are awaiting trial.
The fire started in Cudano's saloon and
the police believe it may have been the
work Of friends of the prisoners.
