Polnr Bears kecp Cool.

"It will surprise most people, said
Superintendent A. l.. Brown, of the
Philadelphia geological garden. to n
Record man, "to learn that the polar
bear stands the hot weather of the dog
days in this locality better than the
African lion On hot days the lion
will get of his feed, the polar bear
will not. The tropical animals in the
garden, CONTINUED the superintendent,
"are the ones mostly affected by the
extreme heat of midsummer, strange
rs it may appear. suppose the
reason of it il that the heat here is
more moist than thatof the tropics, and,
MS II were, of different character.
Whatever mortality occurs among our
animals during heated term is mostly
among the tropical animals, especially
the African. In hot weather l have
watched the polar bear go into his
tank, and then, instead of lying in
the shade, extend himself in the direct
rays of the sun, where the water on
his skin would evaporate He found
out for himself, | suppose, that evapo.
ration causes lower temperature.
Again, it is somewhat astonishing, at
first, that our polar bear should suffer
sometimes ns he does from the severe
cold of winter. | have seen him
shivering on one of those bitterly cold
days, when the sky was ovcrladen and
the air full of moisture. The moisture
was evidently what affected him. In
the Arctic regions it is so cold that the
moisture is frozen out of the air.
Birds do not like the heat. 1t makes
them perch with dropped wings Heat
affects not only the animals in the
garden but the finances of the garden
itself. A difference of ten degrees in
the thermometer, say if it is ninety
five instead of cighty-five, means los;
of several hundreds of dollars in oul
gate receipts for the day"

A few days after the battle Of Mil Springs
was under medical treatment at a hotel In
Lebanon, Ky, when man stopped over
night at the same place. He was dressed in
citizens cloths and sept himself somewhat

with his cloak from those about him.
He saw my curic sity was awakened aud
to fOrestail any further suspicious, asked me
into his room and we struck up an agree
able friendship. Leaning that was from
northern Ohio, he said he Ii we'd in FranSl lin,
Tenn, and had partner in dentistry from
my own County with whom was well ac
quainted before the war. He told me his
name was Cliff, that he was a Surgeon in
Zollicotfer's regiment, and that the queer.
ing stick standing near him he had dug
up when the General fell from his horse
and that some of Zollicoffer's life-blood was
on the root; that his remains were below.
locked in a safe place, and that he had them
in charge to take to Nashville.
His version OF the Generals death was
substantially as several others have given
it. He enioinet secrecy in what he told
me, as he feared relic-hunters would give
him trouble
1t was at the house of this same DR.. Cliff
that Gems. Schofield and Stanley took a
short nap and good dinner on the 10Th of
November, 1854 Just before the desperate
battle of Franklin opened, and, as DR.. Hid.
reth, his partner, has said, was as coed a
Union man at heart as either OF his guests
that day
Zollicoffer stood very high in the estima-
ton OF the citizens of Nashville, had repre-
sented them in Congress, and for years his
name had became familiar to the reading
public, for 1t always appeared at the foot of
every recorded vote list in the House. He
raised the regiment he commanded most
ly IN his own city, and it was composed OF
the very best OF young men-the elite OF
the town.
A Mrs Johnston, one year after, related
TO me in very graphic language the effect
the news of the battle had on the people OF
Nashville. 1t had been reported to them
that their boys were in need OF warmer
clothing ahd better fare They therefore
decided on a grand festival TO be held at
the market house on the public square, where
every body was urged to bring in liberal con
tributions. Everybody was enthusiastic.
The ladies were particularly efficient in
getting the long tables tastefully decorated
with Confederate emblems and 1ags. Never
before had there been SO much spirit and
goodwill shown as ON this occasion, Mrs.
J. said she started soon after sun-up on the
day set with basket OF dishes to help com
