point topoint. Has an innumerable num-
Der of cages, dens, wagons, &c, to con-

ESQ to express it, for exhibition pur-
poses, which at night are so brilliant lit
up with gas that everything is as dis
cernable as in day. Among the animals
enumerated are monster living Alaska

holding 40 barrels of sea water" This

the only ones alive outside of the Pa
