STRANGE REPTILES.
FOUND IN INDO-CHINA. The San Francisco correspondent of the Sydney Sun cabled to the latter paper the other day as follows: —So those pink snakes and striped mice of the morning after may not have been unsubstantial horrors after all. Stranger things do exist, according vo a well-known explorer, although visitors to the zoo have not yet been able to throw peanuts to them. Did you ever hear of deer that barked, or .of blue sheep, or golden monkeys, or wild gour, or banting, or serow, or samba. No? Neither did anyone else until to-day, when Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, son of the former president of the United States, returned from a trip of exploration into the virgin country of Indo-China with .amazing specimens for the Field Museum.
