animals. The author, if he
has any claim at all to authority, is
reasonably sure that nine out of ten
Of his readers are going to accep.
what he has written as the truth.
His assailants will be found only
among the small group who possess
special knowledge. Very few of us
pretend to any first hand knowledge
of the beasts of the jungle.
We are all familiar. of course, with
the appearance of the better known
wild animals. but with the exception
OF the few who have hunted big
game our conception of what these
animals are really like is limited to
a parcel Of time worn half truths
and untruths. The stock of these
possessed by the average person is
made up about as follows:
Elephants have marvellous mem.
cries, and are so vindictive they viii;
nurse hate for twenty years.
Lions are really towards.
Bears are playful. have very
tender noses, and will climb after
men.
Monkeys are great mimics, and
some chimpanzees and orang-utans
have even learned to sit at a table
and eat like men.
Deer are invariably timid and
gentle.
If you can look any wild beast
steadily in the eye he will not harm
you.
So far as We know, DR.. Hornaday's
new book is the only one whic,.
deals at all adequately with tie
mental life of beasts. When you
have finished 1t we predict that you
will find yourself thinking of wild
animals in a new way. The book
bears the fruits of forty years of
personal observation. DIR. Hornaday
spent long periods on the plains and
In the jungle. and for more than
twenty years he has watched ami
mails in captivity at the New York
Zoo. There is probably no man
living better qualified to draw con-
clusions.
There are chapters in this book of
his which discuss thoroughly ques-
tons in connection with animal
life that have heretofore had but the
scantiest consideration. He consid-
ers. for instance. the morals of wild
animals; the evidence of crime
among them; the laws of the fiock5
and herds. He draws together al !.
that is known of language among
animals. and he presents an aston
ishing mass of material bearing
upon their intelligence.
III.
DIR. Hornaday's book must not be
confused with the studies in animal
psychology which have made their
appearance in recent years. AS
naturalist he has little patience with
professors who write always of 'ani-
mai behavior" and never of animal
intelligence" He argues, and 1t
seems to us rightly, that to place
wild creatures in an intricate arti-
fetal continuance is the most unlikely
means of learning anything about
them.

DENVER MARKETS.
Cattle


 Sales of choice heavy steers reported from $7.75 to $8. Good to choice steers sold from $7.50 to $7.75 and attractive light animals were quoted at $7 to $7.50.
 Tn the female section the best prices reported were $6.40 for straight cows and $7.90 for heifers. Choice stock would have sold considerably above the figures quoted.
 The inquiry for feeder and stocker cattle seemed considerably improved. Prices were just steady, with the choice light steers quotable at S7 to $7.50.
 Bulk of sales ranged from s10.25 to $10.4O with top standing at $10.65, the price paid by small killers for one choice load of sugar hogs shipped in from the feed lots of the American Beet Sugar Company. Buyers have shown a. better disposition in regard to the drive in stock the past few days. Such stock selling at S9.75 to $10. Packers heavy throwout hogs were quoted at $S.50 and rough heavy stags continued to sell at S7.50.
 Sheep.
 Sheep markets in all parts of the country opened the week on a com pletely demoralized basis. The heavy runs that have been received on East ern markets for the past week or two have had a serious affect on markets everywhere. The market for dressed mutton is overstocked and prices have slumped considerably.
 Good fat wooded lambs are quoted on this market at $14 to $14.25, with fair grades at S13.50 to $13.75. Clipped lambs would probably sell around SIS to S1S.25.

EGYPT UNDER BRITISH RULE
Population Of Nearly Thirteen Million
Is Decidedly Cosmopolitan In
Its Character.

Egypt is country exceeding In
actual extent France and Germany.
Its urea is some $4,000 square miles,
but Of this total more than SO per
cent is desert land supporting emily q
very scanty nomad population. The
important part Of the country. con-
ssting of the valley and delta Of the
Nile together with the western oases.
covers an area of 1925 square miles.
or territory only a little larger than
Belgium. In addition. some 1850
square miles comprise the surface Of
the Nile, marshes and lakes, while
canals, roads and date plantations
cover another 1900 square miles.
Egypt. therefore, is a small country
with well-defined natural boundaries
