WILD ANIMALS GROWING SCARCE.
But Forepaugh's Show Contains Very
Large Collection of Them.


It Is a well-known fact that wild ami
mails are yearly becoming scarcer and
more valuable Every place making any
pretentions rs city of the flrst-class
seems to think it must not only have
park system; but also one or more collec-
tions of animals which they dignity with
the title of IA geological garden. This has
so increased the demand for wild animals
that European dealers advance their prices
annually. Then the government collects
a duty of As per cent. OF their value in the
foreign market or their appraised value in
the American port of entry. Thus it re-
quires an expenditure of a vast amount OF
money TO secure even small collection
of animals. The largest menagerie in
America is the one connected with the
Adam Forepaugh Shows. Ii contains
representative of nearly all the various
species of wild and tyained beasts. Its
visit to this city on Monday, June l3,
means therefore an opportunity FOR all
visitors TO see the greatest and richest col
lection of wild animals not only in Amer
lea, but also larger than any in Europe;
and besides the menagerie, circus, muse
um, an equescurriculum, a genuine Moor
ish Circus Co. and spleudid spectacle,
The Fall of Nineveh; the whole exhibl-
ton being, SO the press wherever 1T APP
pears unanimously declares, by far the
largest and by far the best shows that
have ever been seen in America. IL Is GER
tainly tremendous show for only nifty
cents, and it seems as il no one could
scarcely afford to miss seeing 1T.

Two old ladies had quiet little chat on
a Fulton ferryboat on the way to Brook
lyn couple of mornings ago. They
talked of the merits Of their respective
pastors, and one OF them got considerably
the better of the pleasant argument.
"But," said the other, not wishing to
have her minister sighted, "your pastor
sometimes permits himself to make jokes
in the pulpit"
"That is So" said the first rather apollo
getically, "but then they are never very
good ones"

At the larger temple, where practical

hands on knees and gaze across the desert
sands. Three thousand years have toln
upon the cliffs above the temple The
statues themselves would have defied
time, but the native rock has yielded tC
sun and sand. In the rock itself there is a
treacherous vein of clay, and the sand has
at last eaten away the clay, and the assures
have gradually widened. A report was
furnished to the irrigation department at
Cairo setting forth that the great temple
was in imminent peril, and that block of
stone weighing 30 tons was likely to fall
and smash the only one complete statue OF

The surveyor and engineers sent up tc

In dangerous condition. One, measuring
"a feet by IL, was taken in hand at ono
and broken up into small pieces; anothe,
OF twenty-five tons was similarly dealt
with; and then the biggest of all, weighing
about 80 tons, was tackled. No explosives
of any kind could be used, as the two
northernmost colossi are out of thei,
equilibrium, and the least vibration might
topple them over. So five stout iron cables
were placed around the big block. and
then it was broken up into small pieces
and thrown down into the sand. Rameses
may now sit in peace and watch the dawn
break over the desert for another 300
years. The two colossi which are out o,
balance are to be pinioned back to the rock
behind by iron bands. The bands will b.
disguised as much as possible.
