A Remarkable Wolf Incident

THE mention of the gray wolf reminds of re-
markable incident on the buffalo plains in which
wolf pack played an important part In the days
of the buffalo millions, wolves also very
Gus. The packs hung upon the fanks of the herds
and the rear ever ready to pull down straying calf
and any sick or lame adult animal that might be
caught beyond the protection of the herd But into
a herd the wolves dared not venture. 1t was part
of the regular work of adult bulls to put their heads
together literally and repel the attacks of all wolves
which sought to attack members of the main body.
Colonel R. l. Dodge has stated that the duty of
protecting the calves devolved almost entirely upon
the bulls. have evidences of this many times
but the most remarkable instance | ever heard of
was related to me by an army surgeon, who was an
eye witness, and whose testimony is entirely worthy
of belief.
- He one evening returning to camp after a
days hunt says Colonel Dodge, when his atten-
ton attracted by the curious actions of little
knot of six eight buffalo. Approaching sufficiently
to closely, he discovered that this little knot

A Bear at the Death Watch

nNE of the StrangeSt occurrences ever witnessed
~ by the writer, and which ade deep impression
upon all who saw it, concerned bear now living in
the New York Geological Park, party of the first
part and dead Japanese black bear party of the
second part shall not attempt to decide upon the
mental processes and impulses in the case, but shall
relate the facts, and leave the reader to draw his
conclusions
In Den Number five or six bears of various
sizes, representing three species. The most pctur
esque and interesting inhabtant fine adult
Himalayan black BEAR which we call Kobe because
he came from Japan. He is to-day alive and well.
One night Japanese black bear "a much smaller
speces) laid down upon the top of the slopng den
and died. In the early morning the keepers
his dead body and undertook to remove it; but the
moment they unlocked the upper door of the cage
and attempted to enter Kobe furiously rushed
them and drove them out. Having done this, he
posted himself close beside the little black body,
and formally took charge of the remains.
The keepers, who experienced bear men,
then inserted long pole, with hook on the end,
and assayed to catch the dead body and draw it
toward them. Immediately Kobe sprang forward,
seized the pole in his teeth and bit it savagely. 1t
not permitted even to touch the body. Pres
emily the same maneuver was tried from the top of
the bars with the result as before. dozen
times the keeper repeated the effort but each time
the guardian bear savagely seized the pole, bit it
to the utmost and thrust it aside. The Himalayan
bear stood directly the body of his dead friend
and compariot growing at intervals, and ready to

The Gray Gibbon of Borneo

THE most remarkable case of support in distress
L which ever came under my observation among wild
mammals relates to the gray gibbon of Borneo When
all is we'll, that animal of the shyest and the
difficult shoot of all the arboreal animals that
/ ever hunted 1t keeps close watch for the man
lower down, and no matter how lofty its position in
the treetops, whenever its archenemy is discovered
the troop is instantly off in frantic haste.
To naturalist in Borneo, gibbons are greatly
to be desired. In the course of my collecting, l
fired into band and brought down a mother
gibbon, to whom it seems that infant gibbon had
been Clingng. Shortly after the fall of the mother
down came the infant also, wounded by pellet in
the neck At the report of my gun, the unn jured
members of the troop fled in wild alarm, and quickly

were at a Sa1e but the infant, as soon as
it was lifted from the ground, set UP series of
piercing cries, which rang through the silent forest
The band of gibbons halted at once, and
Scurrylng back; and two OF its largest members,
one of which know old male, in wild abandon
quickly climbed down close to where stood hold
ing the shrieking gibbon child. Despite their
natural tmidity, they came within thirty feet of
fearlessly,-aye most recklessly,-and they
uttered wild and startling cries of sympathy and
protest. From the circle of gray hair and whiskers
surrounding their black and cadaverous old man
faces their big black eyes glared at u.s. and if looks
and language could have killed, should have been
slain then and there 1t most uncanny,-quite
if dozen hares had suddenly turned brave and
hope of making a In sense it
exhibition of paternal affection; but it also
more. 1t a deliberate attempt at relief and
rescue just much the act of who rushes

Do Their Hunting in Relays
THERE are quite number of wild animals which
hunt and attack in packs; but very few that dare
to put up defense in company, especially against
Of the former the most conspicuous species
the European gray wolf, the hyena dog of Africa,
and the wild dog of India. All these hunt in packs,
and there is credible evidence that if not all
of those species hunt swift footed antelopes and deer
in relays, order to exhaust animal that wolf
wild dog could overtake in fair chase. Ernest
T. Seton authority for the statement that in deer
driving gray wolves not only hunt in relays, but
also that part of the pack will deliberately drive
deer toward point where another part of it lies
ambush and the pursuers always give well known
hunting cry to announce the approach of the
quarry.
But, however brave may be the wild members of
the dog family when IN pursuit of detenSeleSs deer
and antelope, when the pack itself attacked all
cohesion vanishes, and the law is, Every wolf for
himself Like hostile Indians who feel themselves
overmatched, they scatter

supper, sat down and licked their chops again.
Though the doctor did not the finale he had
duty by their offspring and carried it safely to the
herd"
From this incident three distinct conclusions are
to be drawn. The butfaloes recognized the wolves
animals dangerous to small buffa1oes they recog-
nlzed the dependence of the newly born calf and
they acknowledged an obligation due from them.

Few Make Common Cause

Of all the thousands of species of wild quadrupeds
~ with which man is acquainted, only very few
will make common cause against common enemy,
and those which will make a determined stand
against himself almost be counted upon our
fingers
Sometimes it is desirable in the interest of truth
to state negative side of wild animal character
For many years the peccary of the Southwest and
Mexico has been credited in print, with the
possession of fierce temper and ndomitable
age. We have read and at times have believed,
many stories of hunters and bushrangers who have
been threatened by droves of angry peccaries, and
even forced to climb trees for shelter While it
may be possible that unarned and timid men have
times elected to climb beyond the reach of those
creatures, it is asserted by who have lived long
and hunted much in the land of the peccary that
the idea of the animals attacking modern hunter
armed with rifle and driving him up tree is
ridiculous. When drove is fired upon the unin-
jured members away fast and far, and the
age Mexican has fear of being turned upon
by peCcares than by jack rabbits.

keeping in a compact mass, started on
a trot for the main herd, some half
mile off. To his great astonishment, the
doctor now saw that the central and con-
trolling figure of this mass was a poor
little calf so newly born as scarcely to
be able to walk After going fifty or a

bulls disposed themselves in a circle as

Death Ended the Rivalry

IN the Shoshone Mountains of Wyoming once spent
day in the pursuit of two old bighorn rams,
to the final discontinue of of the parties of the
second part The climax came when of the
rams left the other the northern slope of long
buffalo hump of rock and climbed to the summit
to look my side to see if there was anything
doing there AS he looked over not wisely but too
well, my bullet brought his to sudden end.
Ram No. heard the report of the rifle, and scurried
away to safety without having seen his partners
mishap or knowing aught of his fate. Without
any noisy demonstration, l quietly proceeded to
sketch my prize, him. and dress the carcass:
Two hours after the tragedy, Ram No. returned
to the scene of his partners disappearance and
practically trailed him up the side of the ridge; for
/ found him standing the summit in almost the
same spot that Ram Nc. had occupied when he
took his last survey of the forks of the Shoshone.
That was no accident Beyond doubt, he look
ing for his lost partner; but what other thought
in his mind the reader can judge well as |.
This case impressed me being very unusual, be-
cause the animals concerned two adult males,
and at that season were natural rivals.

who treadS on thln ice. Let him resolve TO
test every animal action with the touchstone of
common sense, and in every case of doubt
underestimate rather than exaggerate. 1t is dis
tinctly nadnissbe to that every wild
animal is a mind reader and philosopher besides.
Judging from personal acquaintance with many
species of wild animals in their haunts, it seems to
that of them all very few species ever visbly
manifest toward each other the spirit of mutual
support and helpfulness that usually prevails
between members of the human race. Among wild
animals of adult age the first law of the code of self
preservation is, Every beast for himself and
to this principle the vast majority of four-footed
animals closely adhere 1t is of few exceptions
to this well nigh universal rule that purpose to
write.
In approaching this subject, justice to the wild
creatures demands the statement that by the very
nature of mans attitude toward them,-which is
that of a cruel oppressor and destroyer,-the
chances of the animal for the safe exhibition of
merital traits in the presence of his archenemy are
few and brief Where man appears upon the scene
the wise wild beast says This is time for show
ing off. The tall timber is the best place for me-.
To linger for a slow comrade, or to halt for
wounded, is to invite cold lead and sudden death.

fiimsy materials. The temptation to place
upon simple actions the most complex inter
pretations is a trap ever ready for the feet of
him who seeks to discover the thoughts and inn
pulses of the animals below man.
Every inquirer who enters the field of animal
psychology should do so with barred head, and
the same sense Of personal responsibility one
who treads on thin ice. Let him resolve to

Feat of a Greek Scholar.

1t may safely be said that no feat
of translation in any age has ever
equaled that achieved by Professor
Jebb in rendering Browning's "Abt
Vogler" into Greek verse. This fine
soliloquy of the musician is less OBJ
scure, no doubt, than many other of
its authors productions, but it
abounds in imagery and in turns of
thought which even an EnglisLma9
finds it not very easy to follow and
of which he could hardly have con-
ceived it possible that any Greek
equivalents could exist. Yet they
did exist, for Jebb found them,
though it may be doubted whether
any other Greek scholar living
would have been equally successful
in his search.-London Telegraph
