The cages are, as rule, invisible the
ratings disappear. Yet there, in the gloom
restlessly moving to and fro, can be made
out the outlines of the beasts, savage and
swift, which, if once at liberty. would turn
these moonlit tree planted gardens into a
terribly realistic imitation Of their native
jungles. OF course. they are all safe
enough. Indeed the only danger is Of ter
rifying the beasts by the unusual vision of
human beings at night; for it is not con-
sidered judicious to 90 into the lion house
in the daik. Nothing frightens wild beast
so much as mystery. The inexplicable
sends it mad. If, therefore, visitor were
to stroll through the building in which the
lions, tigers and leopards were doing, the
result would be panic of excitement among
the beasts of prey. In their attempts to
escape they would dash themselves against
the walls and bars, roar their hearts out,
and probably in their mad alarm fight des-
perately with each other. Such is one of
the extraordinary effects of captivity. When
free, these great brutes roamed in the twi-
light in search of their prey or of their
mates, and passed the night ranging the
forest and plain. A man abroad unoer the
cleaning in tiger jungle, or on the lion
veldt, would be watched and stalked and
pounced upon. But in the Zoo. kept awake
all day BY their visitors, the beasts look up
on night as a time Of undisturbed seclusion,
and any sudden vision of human beings
would excite them into nervous frenzy Of
ferocity. With the deer and antelopes the
danger is even greater, for, if disturbed in
the dark, they abandon themselves at once
TO an utter terror. Fear increases even their
usual velocity of pace, and, either regard
less or forgetful of their railing, they would

Leading a Calf.

About s o'clock YESTERDAY morning
woman appeared on Michigan avenue in
company with a calf, says the Detroit Free
Press. In this instance the calf was a verit-
able animal. and was being led with rope.
Whether she had taken it from the pound or
was on her way TO the market she didn't ex-
plain. She hadn't time to after she had got
down as far as Fifth street. The two had
the middle of the street and were rather en-
joying the promenade, when the calf sud
denly concluded that city life was too rich
for his blood. He suddenly halted in his
tracks and braced his fore feet at sharp
angle. The woman kept on her way for a
minute, and when the strain came she
heightened that calfs neck by SIX inches.
1t was no go, however, She braced and he
braced. She pulled and he pulled. BY and
by he began to back and gain on her. Her
feet slid along for a yard or two, when she
sat down and got her foot against the street
car rail. 1t was now time for spectators to
render their sympathies and advice, and re-
marks began to come in.
"Hold to him, old woman you've got the
bulge?"
"Shu, your eyes and you'll fetch him :"
"Fish on your line-pull him in -
Along came the grocery wagon, and the
hub of a wheel rubbed the calf. He jumped
clear off the ground and took half-circle
around the woman, pulling her over on her
side. No one offered any assistance and
when the coming car forced her to take a
new position, she scrambled up and got a
neck hold on the calf He at first broke
down and began to bawl, but suddenly took
heart and made run for the sidewalk, drag
ging her along. The crowd advised her 10
pinch his ears, throw him down, call for a
police. She was silent and grim. She got
a firm hold of his neck with both hands and
pulled him back into the street in spite of
his bucking.
TO the casual observer ne was a gone calf,
but as she stopped to tie her Shoe boy
stuck pin into him, and he sailed right
over her and brought such strain on the
rope as to fling her down again. 1t was
now question as to whether she would
pull his neck off or he would draw her
across the street but when the strain had
continued for - seconds the rope broke and
the calf bounded off like deer. A police
man, who had arrived too late to be of any
assistance, thought to offer some consola-
ton, but the woman made pass at his nose
with one of her dirt besmeared hands and
snapped out
"Shet up If thered been decent man
