ODDITIES OF ANIMALS.

A Cat and an Elephant Strike Up an Indy
ing Affection.
The park and Zoo were thronged all day
yesterday by crowds of men, women and
children. At the Zoo the ELEPHANTS and
lions appeared to attract the attention of
most of the visitors. An amusing incident
occurred at the elephant quarters about 4
o'clock. During the past two or three
weeks an astonishing friendship has sprung
up between large black cat and large
elephant occupying the cage adjoinging that
Of the rhinoceros, says the Philadelphia
Times. The elephant evinced so much
affection for the cat that unless Sir
Thomas was continually near him the
great pachyderm would show his disap-
proYal and loneliness by frequent bel
lowngs, which ceased immediately upon
the cats appearance. Yesterday after a
quiet nap on top of the partition
of the cage, the cat, presumably DESTROYS of
reaching the ground quickly, stepped from
his perch TO the back OF the elephant, which
so frightened the latter that he grabbed the
cat with his trunk and hurled it to the cell
ing. The animal struck the roof with
thud, distinctly heard all over the building.
Yet, ten minutes later, was seen comfort
ably doing at the side of the huge monster,
as If nothing out Of the ordinary had tran
spired.
Among his many charges Head-keeper
Byrne possesses happy family" group
which probably has not duplicate in the
world. The family consists of several
squirrels, pair of European hedge-hogs and
a little common English sparrow. The little
bird hops contentedly about, eating with
the squirrels or peIchng himself upon one
of their backs. Tie friendship between
them is constant source Of wonder to the
Zoo keepers, as the squirrel generally pur-
sues and destroys bird far more quickly
than cat. The hedge-hogs, who have been
alternating in box all the winter, rolled

off at one printing. The thought occurred
to the Chief that erhaps the entire last
issue OF tens and twenties for the New Jer-
sey Bank was made up of the hybrids. =,
The investigation was prosecuted With
vigor, and ut last the cause of the trouble
WIS discovered. 1t appears that in printing
the tens and twentes the four notes struck
off at one time are not all of the same de-
nomination. There are always three of one
kind and the fourth of another; in this in =
stance three tens and one twenty.
The plate printers were examined, ana
one of them recollected that when the par
ticular notes were being printed one sheet
of three tens and one twenty, after having
been printed on one side only, had fallen to
the floor.
The explanation OF the misprint was then
easy. The assistant pressman who picked
up the sheet had misplaced it on the bundle.
When the second impression was made, on
the face of the twenty was printed the re-
verse of a ten, and vice versa; the face OF
one of three tens was backed by the reverse
of the twenty, hence there were two ten
twentles in the lot.
1t was some months after the detection OF
the mistake that the mate tn the note was
discovered. 1t turned up in Newark, n. D.,
after having been in circulation for some
time. 1t was paid into the Office OF the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company,
and is now in the possession of Mr.. Howard
Bailey. who has refused to part with 1t at
any price.

Rev. George L. McNutts Sketches OF
Typical ChiId-Life.
The main hall in the Young Mems Chris
tian Association Building was crowded yes
terday afternoon with an audience Of men
ana youths, assembled TO hear and see the
illustrated lecture delivered by Rev. George
L. McNutt.
After the usual devotional exercises the
hall was darkened and series of beautiful
stereopticon views thrown upon large
sheet of canvas. The illustrations were
from the works OF Raphael and other cele-
brated artists. and with their aid the lee
tuTer depicted scenes from the childhood of
Christ and the apostles, with sketches of
other typical child-life, occupations and
homes.
At intervals in the course of the lecture
Mr.. McNutt, who has a remarkably sweet
tenor voice, sang number OF hymns, which
were thrown upon the canvas, the congre-
CATION joining in the chorus. When the
words 81 will arise and go to my Father"
were produced an invitation was extended
to those who desired to profess conversion,
and a number ayailed themselves of the OPP
portunity thus presented.

POST CANTEENS.
Success of Those in the Division
of the Pacific.

Reference was recently made to the semi
annual reports of post commanders regard
ing canteens, indicating a growing favor
among officers and men of this substitute
for post-tradership, and also that with two
exceptions they have the unqualified ap-
proval of the commanders. Some of the re-
ports favored the sale of wine, but despite
the recommendations it is thought that no
stronger beverage than beer will be permit
ted to be sold, and this decision Is needed to
meet the objections of temperance people
outside the service and the temperance sOci-
cites formed among the enlisted men. The
following are abstracts from reports from
posts IN tho Division OF the Pacific:
Fort Sherman, Idaho.-lColone Csrliu was one
OF the few persistent opponents Of the canteen
system.l Cahteen Is quite satisfactory TO the ell
listed men, although II Is opposed by The me- NJ

great evils 1t is doubtless better 10 provide good

Fort Walla WalIa, Wash-During the past six
months S2626 was returned TO companies as

good. The provision OF buildings properly ar
ranged will do more than anything else toward
removing the impre ssiOn that the canteen is
ODly intended 10 replace The post traders bar

Preside of San Francisco, Cal.-The marked

tenlment Of the commands make me al earnest

BILLS AUDITED.
Routine Meeting of the Board of State
Prison Directors.

Routine Meeting of the Board of State
Prison Directors.
At a special meeting of the Prison Direc-
tors on Saturday afternoon bills amounting
to $4,000 were approved and ordered paid.
OF these the most important item was
claim of S16.925 by the Folsom Water
power Company. After some discussion the
warrant for the full amount was ordered
drawn, with instructions to the Warden to
hold the same until a properly itemized
statement is presented and approved.
Attorney Scrivener's bill Tor legal serv-
ices in defending patent suit brought by
an ex-convict against the commission, was
another of the leading items. This is the
case where prisoner in the Folsom Peni-
Tertiary invented a shuttle for the jute-mlll,
which has been in use there for the past
three years. Root now brings suit to re-
cover a royalty of $3.50 a month for its use.
The Directors resist the claim on the ground
that convict cannot secure patent rights
while serving a term in prison.
Bills amounting to $4,000 for current ex-
penses constituted the balance of the claims
audited and allowed.

man with taste for art, found Meissonier
at work in his studio on one of his micro

Spring Fever

At this time of the year the blood changes,
its circulation is sluggish and the system
is not properly nourshed The result is

feeling of fullness, too hot, and Oh | so

invigorate the liver, kidneys and bowels

would not have so much biliousness, head

" ZEPHYRS WORK THEM,

Just think of twelve-foot Acrmo-
tor running six-inch pump and fill
ing thirteen hundred gallon tank in
less than an hour Do you know Of
any other wind motor that will do
this? We try to keep posted on such
things but fail to find anything in
wind History that even approaches
this record. The mills we speak OF
force water five hundred feet and ele-
vate it twenty-five hard to believe
isn't it, but it's fact. They are as
strong as the strongest material and
good Workmanship can make them
and cheaper than any other mill on
the market, two points of excellence
i'll their favor.
Another thing in their construc-
ton, or mechanism, whichever you
prefer, is the fact Of their being made
so that they will not fall to pieces by
being overworked They make three
revolutions and pump once. The
strain is not all put on the wheel at
each revolution, it is equally divided
and consequently the wheel lasts
longer than the ordinary run of wind
mills. We are not afraid to talk about
the Aermotors now that they have
been tried and proved satisfactory
right here at home. We have had to
publish testimonials from parties at
distance because Aermotors were new
here and had not been tried, but now
that we have sold so many and every
one has been satisfactory to the pur-
chaser we can get ON all right by re-
ferring parties to those people who
have tried them here. We continue
advertising them because they are
still comparatively new thing on the
Islands-before long they will not
need single notice in the newspapers
because they will sell themselves. We
want people TO try them and il they
are wrecked in wind which does not
level your house at the same time we
will refund the money. A bold offer
but it is a way we have of doing bust
ness. We know they are strong
enough to warrant our guaranteeing
them, and that one will probably last
longer than the purchaser will have
any use for it. If you want wind
mill remember that the Aermotor sold
by us is cheaper, stronger and better
than any windmill on the market and
will do more work than any wind
motor ever invented For sale only
