How They Are Treated by the KEEPERS at
the London Zoo.
1t always appeared 60 the writer that
Sutton the head keeper of the 200, treated
lions and some male tigers as Ii they were
dogs, while all the lionesses, the leopards,
pumas and most tigers were treated as
cats. Lionesses he never touched with the
hand, and leopards, except the snow leop-
ards, very seldom, but some Of the tigers
and the male lions behaved in their deal
ings with him exactly as II they were do
mesticated animals. Bears, he maintain
cd, always became unsafe TO handle after
they were full grown, though often tame
and friendly when cubs. Polar bears, on
the other hand, he looked upon as always
dangerous and quite untamable, having a
kind OF incurable levity which makes them
absolutely without respect or fear for man,
even when they are kept in captivity. In
the case of the larger cats age and Ill tenn

or lions, ho was nearly killed by q zebra.
The correct facts Of this curious accident
were as follows: The zebra, which was
known to be very savage, was turned out
into "a yard the sliding door between the
yard and its stall being pushed TO but not
fastened by the man whose duty IL was TO
do so. Sutton was i'm the inner stall, put
ting in fresh hay, when the zebra heard
him. He also heard ii trot up To the door,
and the next moment saw its muzzle
pushed against the crack which had been
left between the edge of the door and the
post. 1t slid the door back in moment,
ran in, and, STOPPING its head, seized him
below the knee and threw him violently
on his hack 1t held ON to his leg biting
SO severely that it cracked the shin bone,
though Sutton, who was lying on his
back, kicked IL hard with the other foot.
The other men drove 1t off with stable
forks, but the keeper was laid up for l3
weeks from the effects of the bite-Lon-

BIRDS AS sEED-cARRlERs.
Natures Ageats In the Dissenlaasloa .
Plants.

Two centuries ego the Dutch lie
stroyed every nutmeg tree in the Moluc-
Gus in order to enjoy monopoly of the
business, having planted the trees in
most earnest efforts, however. the
islands were being constantly restocked.
For a long time the thing was n r,xs-
terry, but at length it was solved. The
doves of that quarter of the world are
oflarge size and readily swallow the seed
of the nutmeg, Of the fruit Of which
they are very fond. OF wander ing hsb-
its, and having great wing power. they
traverse wide stretches of sea and land
in few hours, and deposit the seeds Of
the nutmeg not only uninjurcd but ct
ter fitted for termination by the heat
and moisture of the birds system.
b. . similar process thousands Of
acres of land have been covered with
trees of different kinds, the birds act
ing as natures agents in the dissemina-
tion of plants. But in quite another
manner do they transport seeds from
place TO place. Darwin found in six
grains Of Garth adhering to the feet Of
a plover three different kinds Of seeds,
and in the mud sticking to the feet OF
ducks and geese shot in England he
found the seeds of plants peculiar to
the Victoria Nyanza. in Centr.i Africa,
thus proving not only the extent Of r,i-
grafton but also the possibility Of plants
appearing in strange localities through
the agency OF these birds. In the mud
sticking to the feet of . Texas steer the
seeds Of five different kinds Of weeds
and grasses common in Texas we're
