where snakes are tolerably numerous.
At the head station we have always
kept UP standing army Of from A.
teen to twenty cats. and have been
practically free from the presence OF
snakes about the buildings and yards.
That this was owing to the pres
ence of our cats have no doubt
whatever They were always on the
lookout and l have often seen men,
bers of our feline bodyguard growing
over dead or dying snakes and have
more than once witnessed savage en-
counters between them and their VIC
Tins. On the other hand, martyrs to
their duty were from time to time
found dead in the morning with all
the evidence of fight and their de-
feat in the shape of snakebite on their

Zebra. for Domestic Use.

There Is big scheme on foot for
the capture Of zebras for domestic
purposes. The animals, which are to
be broken to harness and saddle, are
said to be immune from the ravages
of the tsetse fly, and in districts In
fected with that scourge they should
prove much more valuable than either
horses or mules. Although the zebra
is one of the most difhcult Of the
equine race to break. these beautiful
animals are not infreQuently seen on
the South African veldt running with
a span of mules In a transport wagon,
while few years ago one used to see
a team of zebras being 'tooled"
through Hyde Park by member OF
the Rothschild family.
