Washington.—The recent birth of two musk oxen in Alaska, the first in a century, may be the beginning of a New Deal for this remarkable animal, which has been threatened with ex- termination by Eskimos, Indians, ex- plorers and hunters, “Beyond the tree limit, on bleak, treeless tundras, deserted by man and most animals, lives the musk ox-—one animal that thrives in blizzards,” says & National Geographic soclety bulletin, “Over the frozen prairies of the Barren Grounds, where no Indians dwell, and across vast expanses too cold for Eskimos, the musk ox plods through the darkness and whispering silence of the Arctic night, cropping frozen grass that sticks up through thin snow.

Now he is fielding and batting with the best of them. Such is not the case. Grazing, snow, but on dark windswept areas, or snowy slopes strewn with large boulders, the musk ox might well be mistaken for another boulder. Heredi- tary enemies of the musk oxen are the wolves, Although they can do little damage to a herd of adults, they follow it to seize the stray calves and sickly old musk oxen driven out of the herd, “Seelng a musk ox walking along a hill crest, heavy head and massive body bulking large against the sky, hunters have thought him a small buf- falo. Although his shaggy hide makes him appear larger, the average musk ox is only about the size of Highland cattle, He usually stands about four feet high and his average weight is 450 pounds dressed.

Hunters have marveled at the ease and speed with which startled musk oxen have run away from them “Although classed with walrus and polar bear as the big game of the north, shooting a musk ox is about as difficult and as much sport as shooting a cow In a pasture, will run, but not far, to form a hud dled, trembling mass that stands fac ing the enemy until] shot down, Startied, arrows, and lances Eskimo since explorers gave them rifles, they have slaughtered hundreds upon hun- dreds without thinking of the future. “The julcy steaks of musk oxen have saved the lives of many Arctic ex- plorers, Frost-bitten and starving, pemmican exhausted, caches lost, ex- plorers have fallen on a herd as manna. wZoologleal gardens extermination of musk oxen by ing $5000 apiece for young ones. “However, the th century, in its battle for the nat ural offer Twentle vation of 8 taken steps to save this valuable animal, have passed protecting It.
