BREEDING DOGS WITH WOLVES
DarwIn's Belief Was That Domestic
CANNES Represent Several Races
Of the Wild Animal.

In "The Origin Of the Species" OAR
win expressed the opinion that the dog
was originally descended from the
wolf. He was inclined to think that
In different parts Of the globe man
had tanned the particular species of
wolf which would be found there. and
that our domestic dogs, therefore, rep
resent not one but several races of the
wild animal, writes n. b. Townshend
In the Westminster Gazette. 1t has
long been known that dog and wolf
wiz interbreed freely. Button, for
example, tells us that he made such
a cross successfully. Indeed. In Rus
STA the Tsars long kept up a fierce
pack Of hounds for wolf hunting In
which strong strain Of wolf was
evident. Unfortunately, a few years
ago the little daughter Of a huntsman.
crossing their kennel alone, stumbled
and fell, and the savage brutes set
upon her and devoured her on the
spot. The indignant tsar had the
whole pack destroyed.
Even In England the cross with the
wolf has been resorted to for otter
hounds In order to Increase the cour-
age and strength Of jaw Of the dogs,
But as the first cross proved rather
too wild and uncertain In temper for
safe handling, the masters Of otter
hounds have always crossed back
again and again to the dog till there
remained perhaps only one sixty
fourth Of wolf blood, or even less.
This fact establishes the fertility Of
the hybrid between the wolf and the
dog when bred back to one of the
original parents, but so far there has
been no evidence to show how far the
hybrids would be fertile when bred
together continuously. Recently, how
ever, in the present century. this has
been tested by DR.. Alaric Benin Of
the Stockholm geological gardens,
who has given brief account of the
results obtained by him.

CRUEL JOKE ON A SQUIRREL
Naturalist Replaces Nuts With Stones
-Repents When He Sees Hungry
Frisky Dig Snow Away.

Most squirrels keep two or more
stores Of food. Rev. J. G. Wood, the
naturalist, tells Of friend who found
one of these reserve stores, which a
squirrel had provided for an emergency
and, In a moment Of thoughtlessness,
the man determined to. play a joke on
the squirrel. He accordingly replaced
the nuts by small. round stones and
carefully concealed all evidences of
his visit.
One cold day in winter he passed the
spot and found that the squirrel had
called there e short time previously.
This he knew by the fact that ten
inches of snow had been scratched
from the top of the hole, outside Of
which the stones had been cast by the
disappointed animal.
This struck the joker with remorse
He said: 81 never felt the folly Of
practical joking so much in my life.
Fancy the poor little fellow, nipped
with cold, and scanty food, but, fore
seeing long winter, resolved to econ
omize his little hoard as much as pos
sible. Fancy him at last determined
to break this-perhaps his last-mag-
azine, and cheerfully brushing away
the snow, fully confident that good
meal awaited him as the reward of his
cold job, and after all finding nothing
but stones. I never felt more mean
and ashamed in my life."
