Hill's album of biography and art : containing portraits and pen-sketches of many persons who have been and are prominent as religionists, military heroes, inventors, financiers, scientists, explorers, writers, physicians, actors, lawyers, musicians, artists, poets, sovereigns, humorists, orators and statesmen, together with chapters relating to history, science, and important work in which prominent people have been engaged at various periods of time. The Sheep, although its original characterhas never been fully determined, has beentraced to several countries of which it is anative, us follows: The Beardiyl Sheep,found in the high lands of Egypt and inBarljary; the Argali, in tlie highest mount-ains of Central , and on the elevatedplains of Northern Asia; the Musmon in themountains of the Mediterranean Sea and inTurkey-in-Europe; and the Rocky Mountain,on the mountains of North America.

It is native tonumerous portions of the globe, includingall varieties of climate. Thus the Esqui-maux Dog is a native of the Arctic regions,and possesses the characteristics whichrender it most useful in that desolate andinclement climate. In Asia, other speciesare found denuded of hair, because outercoverings are unnecessary for their comfort;and there is no animal better fitted for hunt-ing and protective purposes than the mod-ern breeds of domesticated dogs.
