The kadak Bear and tho Tufted Ear
Rhinoceros.
There are a number of beasts speci-
mems of which are ardently desired
not only by the geological gardens Of
the world, but by the professional me-
nageries as well. Among these may
be mentioned the Kadiak bear, an ex-
tremely rare animal and one calculat-
ed to make q Rocky mountain grizzly
appear Insignificant.
South America contains a prize In
the form of a species of jaguar never
held in captivity. This jaguar IL Of
tremendous size and coal black.
There are two rare birds in the Anna
non forests whereof no specimens have
ever been brought away-the bell
bird" and the "lost soul" These names
are derived from the effects produced
by the cries of the birds, the former
having a voice likened to that of a sill
yer bell and the latter possessing the
eerie accompaniment of grooming In
such q manner as to produce goose
flesh on the unfortunate person who
hears its song.
The naturalists will also vote an ex
preston of heartfelt thanks to the In
dividual who will fetch them from far
| of Burma a specimen of a rhinoceros
having a black hide and big, tuftet
ears. No one has ever actually seer
this rhinoceros; but, 1t is averred, whit,
men have frequently seen his hide.
New Zealand is a land of animal mys
teries. The most popular of the rar'
beasts whereof specimens are longet
for by the civilized world is kind O

each year as of Canadian products
that come across the border to

POPE AND HAREM SKIRT.
Head Of Church May Issue Decree For
bidding tie Wearing.

Rome, Feb. e8.-Some time ago
Mgr Cesarini, who 10 popular with
the aristocracy and who comes into
contact with many leaders Of society
among the penitents. asked the pope
whether he should condemn the fash
ION OF wearing the harem skirt. The
pontif said jokinely that the new style
probably would not be introduced in
Italy, where it was bound to be killed
with ridicule, but he told the prelate
TO forgive women who wore trousers
'just as we forgive those men who
wear skirts" pointing smi!;ngly to his
own and the monsignore's cassocks.
Now. however. the pope realizes that
the fashion may become popular, since
many prominent actresses have INTRO
duced the harem skirt on the stage and
several women, defying the jeers and
ridicule OF crowds. have appeared on the
streets Of the principal cities wearing
the new garment. He. therefore. fears
that even if it does not supplant the
ordinary feminine dress the harem
skirt is bound to be adopted by the
smart set.
The correspondent Of the Daily News
Is informed that the pope contem-
plates instructing the cardinal vicar
Of Rome to issue decree to parish
priests OF the city warning them not to
allow women wearing the new skirt to
enter churches.
Naturally the bishops OF the entire
world will follow the example and thus
the fashion will be banned. At the
same time the clergy will warn Cath
o,ics from the pulpit and confessional
not to adopt the fashion. which the
nope strongly disapproves for the rea-
son that it tends to destroy dress dis
tinction between the sexes.
