American Camel Herd.

At one time the Southwestern des-
erts Of this country we're traversed by
herd Of camels brought from the
Orient by the United States Govern
ment as an experiment to facilitate
the problem Of transportation over
the sunny sands. The presence Of the
animals was due almost entirely to the
efforts Of Jefferson Davis when he was
this country's Secretary Of War. He
agitated the subject for years and at
last the money was appropriated and
two groups we're imported. There was
much to be said in favor Of the inno-
vation, but the building Of the rail-
roads seemed to remove the necessity
for their presence. Some Of them were
turned loose by their owners and the
animals roanled at large over the un-
occupied lands Of the Southwest for
several years, but the herd finally died
cut.
