Protecting America's Vanishing Animals.

The question of the preservation of such characteristic animals of the United States as are now in danger of extinction is one which has attracted widespread attention among naturalists and students during the past few years, but it was not until its last session that Congress decided that the problem was one of National importance. In January, 1902, however, a resolution was passed instructing the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to investigate the matter and report upon the desirability of Government interposition in the case of the buffalo. As the result, just before the close of the Fifty-seventh Congress, Secretary Hitchcock submitted a report in which he not only furnished the figures in regard to the number of buffalo still in existence, but presented a definite plan for their future protection.

"In my judgment," he said, "steps should be taken by the United States for the preservation from extinction of the buffalo or American bison, and with that end in view I have submitted to Congress an estimate of $30,000 for the purchase of buffalo and the corraling of them in the Yellowstone National Park. With these animals in a national reservation, under Government supervision, it is believed that a herd of pure-blooded American bison may be domesticated, which will increase in numbers, and the herds now running wild in the Park may be also benefited by the introduction therein of new blood." The table submitted by the Secretary of the Interior was as follows:

The report was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry and will probably be sent to Congress during the next session, after which, if the suggestion regarding the buffalo is adopted, those who are Interested in the preservation of America's vanishing fauna will submit similar resolutions for the better protection of the grizzly bear, beaver, elk, moose, mountain sheep and goat, and other contemporaneous animals that will soon become as extinct as the mammoth if something is not done to check their destruction.
