One of the Rreutest curiosities among tlio domesticated anim als of Ceylon if u breed of cattle known to the soolugists as tlio “ sacred running oxen.” They are the dw arfs of tho whole ox fam ily, the largest specimens 1 f the species nev er exceeding 80 inches, cr 2,l.j feet in height. Onesent to tlie Marquis of Can terbury in tho year 1891, and which if still living and believed to he sotuo where near ¡0 years cf age, is only 22 inches high and w eights hut 109 H pontids.

They keep iqi a constant swinging tint or run and liavo been known to travel 100 miles in a day and night w ithout either feed or water. No one knows anything concern ing the origin cf this peculiar breed oi m iniature cattle. They have been known on tlio island of Ceylon mid in other Buddhistic countries for more than a thousand years. One story told to ac count for tlicir origin is to tho oil'cct that they vveio originally cattle of Hie ordinary height and hulk; that a Bud dhistic priest was otii'o imprisoned ill ¡1 stone Luildiug, one-half of which was used for ¡1 cattle stable. D uring the night lie inauagi d to di -lodge one of the stones ill his ¡a ¡son wall. The stone in question was exactly 2 h. fel t square.
