• Sheep With Gold-filled Teeth.
The sheep of the western islands of.
Scotland are almost as stylieh as the
dogs that ride in automobiles on our
own Fifth avenue, in New York city.
The caninearistecrats have OCCaelOn-
al cavities i,n their teeth filled with
goTd, but the Scottlea sheep have their
entire set gold-plated before they bave
aad any chance to decay. The gold-
plating is due to gold dust in the soil.
As early as 1586 Hector Bowe, bishop
of Aberdeen, speaks of the remarkable
appearance of the sheep that • roam
"the golden mountain" in central
Aberdeenshire. Their wool is yellow,
thelr flesh la red, flecked, as it were,
• with saffron, and their teeth are the
hue of gold, he says. -Popular Science
