Hyena "Dogs from the Trans
Vaal. When the news spread through Her
Hn the other day that two hyena dogs
had Just been received at the xoologtcal
garden In that city there was n rush
to see them, for these animals are not
often found In captivity. The two wero
Imported from the Transvaal, and aro
quite young.
Hyena Sogs rcscmhlo hyenas, but,
unlike those 'Indolent animals, are ex
tremely 'alerl and active. Their cars
aro larjjc and black, their bodies aro
black, white and yellow, and they are
about the size of a pointer. Originally
they were distributed over the greater
part of Africa,bul during recent years
they have become extinct In some dis
tricts. They ure, however, still nu

live like all other wild dogs, namely,
by hunting In melts' tlurlng tho day.
When they tlnd tho track of nn ante

of tho pack follow It, whllo tho others
He In wait for tho animal at a spot
which they know It will try to pass.
As they aro very swift and possessed
of great endurance, any animal which
they pursuo Is doomed. Truo, somu of

fense, yet these In tho end avail them
little, for, though they may gore to
death several of tho dogs, tho others
aro not In tho least frightened thereby,
but cling to tho prey until they havo
dragged It to earth. Indeed, native
hunters sny that not only nntulopcs,
but also leopards and Hons, nro hunted
und killed by hyena dogs, and this la
very probable, since Mongolian hunt
era In tho southeast of Hlberln Bay that
tho terrlblo Amur tigers and tho gl-
irnntlc bears of that region nro fre
quehtly killed by 'packs' of wild dogs
which closely resemblo hyena dogs.
In former yonrs tho Booro wore much
nnnoyed by these dogs, for they killed
thousands of their sheep and oxen.
Ono would think that tho negroes
would ho afraid of such llurco animals,
hut they are not, for thoy claim that
tho dogs will never attack a man un
' less they nro very hungry.
Thoro aro from six to ton of these
dogs In ovory litter. The young ones,
which aro kept in captivity, speedily
becomo attached to their owners, but,
nevertheless, are so llorco that thoy
ennnot bo allowed at large.
Attempts havu been made to cross
hyena dogB with ordlnnry domestic
dogs, but they havo not succeeded,
which Is to bo regretted, as these wild
dogs nro fearless and swift,, nro pos
sessed of much enduranco, hnvo tho
FcnRo of smell admirably developed
and henco are, In theso respects, Ideal
hunting dogs.
Tho bark of these dogs Is curious, be
ing sometimes hnrsh and loud, somo
tlmes Hko n cuckoo's call and somo
tlmes Hko tho sound made by men who
talk whllo their tcoth aro chattering
with cold.
No matter how much caro Is taken
of them, hyena" dogs rarely, If over,
live long In n foreign cllmato, nnd that

"Remarkable Statue nearthed.
Some remarkable' hfonxe statues
have Just lecn acquired' hj" tho Na
tional Museum of Home. By mcr
chance they were
unearthed some
time ago In a Held
near uagtt, ana
Were at onco pur
chased by a local
society. In bid 'days
Cngll was known
as Calils,'"and near
Iho spot where Iho
statues were round
was fought the
great battle In
which Totlla wns
defeated by Norses,
Several high
mounds of earth
aro also near tho
spot, and, according to others, they nro
tho last resting place of Cnrthnglnlatiu
who had fallen In battle.
That tho statues nro ot great antiq
uity thoro aro many Indications, tho
general opinion of archaeologists be
ing that they were fashioned during
the firth century before Christ. They
are all bronxc, nud conspicuous among
them nro soma which portray Mars In
superb fashion.
Ono of tho most Interesting of tho
statues represents n young gymnast
balancing himself, nnd It Is n ntrtktng
proof of tho Importance which was at
tached to such feats In tho days of old
Home. Ab n work of art also this
stntuo deserves to he placed in tho flrst
rank.
As Roon as It became known that
theso bronzes hud been discovered sov
eral Ruropcan and American collectors
offered large sums for them, but tho
owners declined to dispose of them to
any forclgncY, and finally sold them
through tho Minister of Public Instruc
tion to the Museum In Itomo for tho
nominal sum of 93.600.- That this was
really a nominal sum may bo seen
from tho fact tout moro than ono for
eign collector orTored n similar sum for
n single tttutuo of Mars.

of thlu pleasant work, for n dovlcu has
now been Invoutud In Franco, Iho ob
ject of which Is to do this vory work
mechanically.
When this device Is attached to n
piano, nil that tho player has to do Ih
to proas with the foot upon a Biuall
rubber knob, which Is placed nonr ono
of tho pedals. A Hllght prcsimro of tho
foot sulllces to release n shoot or loaf

and to turn It over. There uro nB many
clasps as thoro nro sheets of music nnd
a slmplo mechanism connects them
with tho knob containing tho com
pressed air.
This device can bo uttached to any
music stand, and thus n violin pluyor
will find It as useful' as a plano'playcr.
Moreover, It tnkcH only u few seconds
to put it in place.

who was with tho Judge. McKlnley
looked ut hl.i questioner, doubtful
whether to tako him seriously or not,
but ho recovered his equilibrium when

Mystery of the 3reejyn.
Ono nt the most extraordinary mys
teries In tho history of naval engage
ments has been developed during the
last fw weeks through th summon
ing of witnesses who nrc to appear be
fore the Schley court of Inquiry. Sim
ple us the mutter might appear nt flrst
sight. It now seems that tho question
of who steered the Brooklyn when she
made her ctlebrntcd loop during the
battle of Santiago is enveloped In
much complexity. Tho full powers of
the distinguished gentlemen who
form thn court ot Inquiry may be re
quired to elucidate this matter.
First comes Walter 1). Adams, who
says he was at tho wheel nnd gave
the turn that mado the Brooklyn
swing arming in tho manlier which so
astonished tho enemy nnd brought
confusion among tho American ships.
Next comes Joltn II. Sullivan, of Bos

Iioubc. Ho says thnt Adams was not
at tho wheel during tho loop, but that

hs a wltnesH. Thon comes Captain
Cook, who hiiB mado written report
to the Navy Department, saying that
tho man nt tho wheel during tho loop
was N. Andornon, who has nso been
summoned.
Now tho question arises, "Which ono
of thoso men nctunlly steered the
Brooklyn during tho loop, or wns It
possibly n fourth party ntlll unknown
to fnmo?"
