FOREST AND STREAM. 
• are the specimens which Mr. Arthur Wardle has 
so carefully drawn, nearly so bright or red in 
color as Keuleman’s picture, which was taken 
from a specimen brought from Sumatra. How¬ 
ever, these wild dogs inhabit a wide area, and 
the color and texture of coat vary accordingly. 
The dhole hunts in packs, which vary in num¬ 
ber from less than a dozen to a score or more, 
their prey being usually deer, wild pigs, 
sheep, nylghai, and black bears are known to 
have been killed by these daring creatures. Even 
buffaloes and tigers are said to have succumbed 
to an attack of a pack of wild dogs. That they 
are not better known and are not destructive to 
domestic animals is because they avoid the haunts 
of man and inhabit the forests and the higher 
grounds away from cultivation. These animals 
are for the most part diurnal, and when hunting 
run mute; indeed, whether they bark or not is 
an open question, though howling at night is well 
known to those persons who have attempted, but 
unsuccessfully, to tame and rear them as pets. 
One that was kept in confinement was very om¬ 
nivorous in its habits, in addition to eating flesh 
of various kinds devouring greedily “herbs, grain, 
and leaves of various kinds” (McMaster). These 
wild dogs show considerable sagacity, and it is 
said of them that during the time they are rearing 
their puppies, produced during the winter months, 
they drive their prey to the neighborhood of their 
haunts in order that when killed they may be 
little trouble in conveying it to the bitch. 
Another peculiarity they possess is that several 
of the females will bring forth their young in 
the same place, which is usually in some cave or 
rocky hollow. 
When the writer last saw these three dogs in 
the Gardens recently, they were playful among 
themselves, but shy, and when spoken to ran into 
the covered portion of their kennel.—The Field 
(London). 
— 
RABBIT FENCES COSTLY. 
! The Queensland government and citizens to¬ 
gether have expended not less than $6,250,000 in 
erecting and maintaining rabbit-proof wire fences 
to control the rabbit pest. Although a large sum, 
it is considered to have been a wise outlay.—

The “Forest and Stream** 
TRAP SCORE BOOK 
meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every par¬ 
ticular. The 150 sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage 
all scorers will appreciate, particularly when working in 
a dim light. The horizontal spaces are numbered from 
1 to 30. Broad perpendicular lines divide these into 
groups of six; thus the squads are distinguished at a 
glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are 
placed in the book for that purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rules 
for Live-Bird Shooting, for Double Live-Bird Shooting, 
for Inanimate Target Shooting, Hurlingham Revised 
Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the 
Rose System of dividing purses. Price, $1.00.

Bears I Have Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper. 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex¬ 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stories, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women and 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.
