African Game Preserves.

The growing scarcity of specimens
in every department OF zoology has
led TO the setting apart of lar"e game
preserves in the wilds OF Africa and
putting them in the charge Of experts
There seems TO be no animal that can
not be partly tanned If a feeding
ground and water in plenty are given
it. Attendants venture into the in
closures and stroll among the animals
to accustom them to the sight OF hu-
man beings. Gradually the beasts are
herded into smaller paddocks. where
any peculiarities that they may have
are observed. In that way healthy
specimens for the geological gardens
are assured.
