ANIMAL STUDIES FROM “ LIFE.”

telegraphy, why nothing of wireless 
other things ? Why not, for in- 
stance, a wireless bird-cage which 
would confine the prisoner without 
obscuring the brilliance of its plum- 
age? At any rate, the idea has 
occurred to our next artist (Mr. 
Smith), who pictures the misfortunes 
of a loving pair (the exact, species 
seems a little difficult to identify ; 
are they starlings ?) parted by the

conspicuous eyes and teeth must have been 
worth considerable sums in positive cash to 
American humorous artists during the past ten 
or fifteen years. In the time of his absence in 
Africa Mr. A. B. Walker imagines a walrus 
suddenly appearing before a pair of Polar 
bears who are struck by terror at what they 
suppose to be the presence of the chief enemy 
of the animal kingdom, believed to be ten 
thousand miles away. And at the same 
period Mr. Lutz, with a stroke of originality, 
abandons the ex-Presidcnt J s eyes and teeth 
for the opposite end of his anatomy — though 
here he finds it needful to label the boot-sole 
with the initials T. R. From which we may 
gather the comforting reflection that Mr. 
Roosevelt’s feet, at any rate, are not vastly 
unlike those of less sublime citizens.

We are back with Mr. Kuhn again in the 
next sketch, wherein a frequently-observed 
human preference for opposites is given 
application among birds ; the lady pelican 
expressing a preference for the company of 
the lengthy flamingo, who, with head bent 
low for facility of conversation, stalks beside 
her in a top-hat and nothing else. 
When there is so much talk of wireless 
wireless walls of an invisible cage. It is a 
surprising property of this cage, we observe, 
that the exterior wirelessncss manages some- 
how to support the ends of a perch and a 
piece of sugar.
