Tho Octobor American Magazine contains an interesting nrticlo on "Tho Habits of Wolves," by Ernest Thompson Soton. The nrticlo In cludes many facte nbout anlmnl mnr rlago. Mr. Soton, for example, thinks that wolves marry for life. Ha snys: "I have several times Been a male and female wolf together at a tlmo when tho sexual passion Is dormnnt, nnd yet tho mnlo showed jthe female moro attention than ho would hnv dono had she been simply a smaller male. This points to permanent partnership. "In tho London aoo Is n pair of wolves, officially called Lobo uid Ulnnca. Tho male Is from western Texas, tho female from Arizona. Tbey are good typical examples of tho gray or buffalo wolf of thoso high plains. "They have beon thero for five years, and nro supposed to be 7 yoars old. They bred In 1903, pro ducing nlno cubs, nnd In 1904 eight. Tho fnther has always been kept away from tho young, so It is not f known whether he has any parental feelings. "These two old wolves live In harmony except when tho keepers come to the cage. Both are fond of bolng noticed and eager to monopo lize nil attontlon. Each strives Jeal ously to be next to tho bars, pushing tho other away, barking and growl ing meanwhile with bristling mnne nnd evident temper. "Lobo often springs at his mate aB thought to bite her, but is always restrained at the last moment by something -what Is it If not a feel ing nkin to chivalry? "In these quarrels, if Blanca sees that she has gone too far, she apol ogizes by licking Lobo'shctlil comlllntory manner, alwaji tin unl.
