ANIMALS UNCAUGHT. Soma Kinds of Beasts That' Hat e Never Been Caged. Eoos Intensely Pager to f eeure ! - nana e Certain Hewlr-Dieeov-, ere Creator of rorelg-n - -' Climes. I "Oh, there are I' good, maty .ani mals that are still to be caught and exhibited In the menageries," 'said the old animal man, according to the Cin cinnati Enquirer, reaching into J&e rage and scratching the pm3rot a Jaguar. VI can nm pC- quite a list without stopping -tt" think. - '-'All ther xoos are crazy now for an okapl. " That's the ; strange prehls- found alive In Eastern Africa. It's a cross between a giraffe and. horse, apparently, and a mighty big animal. There'll be big money for the circus that gets the first example,, and there are some plucky and smart men in Uganda at this very moment looking for the brute. "Nobody has been lucky enough or smart enough to catch a Kadlak bear alive and carry him to civiliza tion. There's something like a beast for you big as a calf, so that he'd make' a roaring' Rocky mountain' grizzly look like a little' brown bear alongside of hire. i , "Down in South America, some where bc'nd the northeastern side of the Andes, a little ' north of the equator, Is a beast that is' the big gest rodent In the world. Travelers have seen pieces of its hide and its bones, and a few have glimpsed it as It sped through the dark primeval for ests. It is a true rodent like the rat, but it is as big as a Newfoundland dog. That would be a good catch for a zoological garden. "Another fine prize Is down there in South America. It is a new species of Jaguar, quite different from any that has ever been exhibited In the shows in any part of the world. " It's a big black fellow, and tremendously nerce. Nobody has ever taken one alive. "Then in the forests of the Amazon are two birds that would make their captor a famous roan among zoolo gists. They are the bell bird, which bas a voice exactly like a clear, ring ing bell, and the 'Lost Soul,' which has a cry that makes the shivers creep along a man's backbone when he hears it in those dark, mysterious, silent; forbidding woods.' ,t "In Durmah somewhere is a rhi noceros that has a black hide and big tufted ears. The hide has been seen by white men lots of times, but they haven't ever Been a living animal. "Up- In the Himalayas a man has been looking for years for what do trmi 01 ntmaa f A iinlflnar) T-Ta maV be crar.y he may be right. He says that he ha3 heard so many tales from the native hunters up there of the ex-. Istrnce of a one-horned antelope horse that he is, bound to try and gel one. I. don't think there, is any such thing myself, but then I didn't take much stock In the discovery'' of a primitive wild horse In Central Asia, either, and now the zoological gardens, of Himhurg and New York both havs living specimens of these horses funny, big-headed little brutes that nro representatives of some type ol horse that must be hundreds of thou sands of years old. , '. "Down In New Zealand, compara tively small as the land is, there ar many animal and bird mysteries stilt. They say that there Is a brand new that Is, new to the world type of ani mal on the order of the duck bill down there yet Darwin always thought that some day a veritable lizard-bird (not a flying lizard, but a true missing link between the birds and the reptiles) might be" found there. "One explorer followed mysterloui footprints In the snow of the high mountains of New Zealand, but never came up with the beast that had mads it. But they were such strange foot prints that other scientists agreed with him that the; thing .that' made ineiu was iuue uukuuwu iu ine worm, and must be a wonderful thing. "So, you see, there Js plenty of work still for us wild animal catchers. We haven't seen everything that there is to be seen, by a long shot." F.nrly Gold Stampede. . The voyage of the Argonauts, the date of which is uncortatn, was pro ' fessedly a rush for gold, to be collect ed in fleeces placed in the torrents flowing down the flanks of Mt Cau casus. Hut older much was the west ward movement, which Chaldean rec ords of 3800 B. C. chronicle, Yo the gold-bearing land of Mel tfkkha,. after ward known as Mldlan. Later, on, but still at a very early period, taere was -a rush from Egypt to a spot ' inland from the present Suakim. Long after ward this was described by Diodorua Slcuhis, who left a' map, still extant, showing the wells provided for the gold seekers between the Red sea and the mines. About 1000 D. C. there seems to have been another rush of miners in search of gold into South Africa. Its numbers can only be guessed at from the extensive remains that still exist Stray Stories. Attempted Jail Break. -James Haley, sentenced to the peni tentiary for grand larceny, and Harvey Clark, who shot a Northern Pacific con ductor at Oakesdale last week, attempt ed to break jail at Colfax Saturday night. They made a saw out of a knife, loosen ed a bar on top of the cage and were about to saw through the floor into the prosecuting attorney's office when they were found on top of the cage by Dep. uty Sheriff Nealey as he went to lock up the prisoners for the night.
