Naturalists have expressed a fear that, with the exploitation of the waste Places of the earth, the bigger wild anl- mals, especially if they are more trouble they are worth, like lions, tigers, the rhinoceros and the hippo, will be Crowded off the map by all- encroaching man. There fs reason in this fear, and however much the tiger or the jaguar, say, Or even the great snakes, may be ed, yet there is a sentiment in the world agajnst rendering any spe- ¢les act. ‘This idea, with others, bas led to the establishment of great national parks, which are really great gate preserves. One of the jaronte of these is in Can- ada, and is Jasper park. It is a land of lake and river and mountain between the Saskatchewan river and the ¥ellowstone pass. It is nearly as big as Wales, and is the haunt of bears and elks, of beavers and skunks and foxes, and its rivers teem with fish, There. is room for them, and a few more visitors as well. Then there is the Yellowstone park, in Wyoming. It ts 3,575 square miles in area and includes a lake 22 miles long. New Zealand has two national parl Lake Wakatipu, 112 square miles in extent, is the center of the one in the southern island, and the other in the north island includes the famous lake district of the southern hemisphere.
