aurochs or the bison by so much as word. AS
the authors Of these classics were great sports
men and close observers. this would support the
theory that both these animals had already then
become quite extinct in western Europe.
In the sixteenth century, when Europe so far
as art was concerned had at last been aroused
from it's medieval stupor by the invention OF
printing, and extraordinary demand had
sprung up for pictorial matter illustrating re-
cent exploration of new worlds and the various
forms of the chase there were produced quite
number OF pictures of the aurochs BY artists,
very few OF whom had set eyes upon live
wild specimen, though they may have seen cap
tive ones The artist Of whom We positively
know that he had before him at least a stunned
specimen was the viennese engraver Augustin
Hirschvogel (born in Nurnberg about 150Sl, who
illustrated the famous travel book OF Baron Her
berstein, the authority most frequently quoted In
connection with the aurochs for he was absolute
" the last intelligent observer who saw the beast
in its wild state and left pictorial records OF his
impressions. Herberstein was gifted with pres
cient eyes for he foresaw that the aurochs was
doomed to speedy extinction. Hence on his sew
eral expeditions to the unknown interior OF Rus
STA as the ambassador. first of Emperor Maxi
milan in 1516-1S then on many different occa-
sions as Charles VS. and Ferdinand's emssary
he made notes about it and what was much more
important actually brought back with him some
skins and skulls which he had mounted in his
house in Vienna, and from which Hirschvogel
probably drew his celebrated picture OF the
aurochs. To diferentiate he drew next to 1t a
picture of q bison. As these two portraits
which have been published scores Of times. will
be familiar to all interested in this matter, we
will merely quote the inscriptions placed by Her
bernstein over the two pictures, for II Is per
fectly correct differentiation. The picture of the
bison has the following: Il am a Bison. am
called by the Poles Suber. by the Germans
Bisont or Damthier. and by the ignorant an
aurochs. Over the woodcut of the aurochs; Il
am an Urus which is called by the Poles Tur,
by the Germans an Aurochs and until by
the ignorant Bison" The inscriptions In the
various edtions-Herberstein's volume appeared
in several languages-vary trihingly but the
above which are taken from the edition OF 1856,
give the sense in the best form.
shortly after Herhsrsten the Flemish painter
Stradanus who lived and worked for over fifty
years in Florence from 1853 to 1605l, produced
a drawing Of an aurochs engaged in a terrific
struggle in an arena where he was matched

DOWN TO THE BARE FACTS
Young Minister'S Passion for seif-sae-

Have Been Anticipated.

The announcement Of Miss Helen
Miller Gould's betrothal led one Of the
charity workers Of New York to say:
Marriage itself will not be able TO
quench Miss Gould's passion for Civ

told me story.
There was a young minister, the
story ran, who, being poor and hRy-
ing nothing else to give. used TO give
away his clothes

give them shoes and socks, shirts and
coats. gloves, overcoats and trousers
Yes, time and again he would give

lessly, piece by piece, until"
Here the charity worker smiled.
