Variety and Quantity OF the Provisions
Required by Its Denizens Annually.
The London Zoo is, perhaps, the most
popular scientific institution in Eu-
rope, and its expenses are heavy. A
recent report says that the death rate
of it's denizens is high, about $40 per
1000, and about 200 animals arc added
every year, of which one-sixth are pur-
chased. The provision bill comes to
over $4,000 year, which means that
it costs only little more than penny
day per capita to feed $500 animals.
The tlesh-eating animals are not sup
piled with prime joints of beef at this
rate. Their fare is horseflesh and goat.
flesh. Hay, clover, bran, oats, maize,
wheat and barley for grass and grain
Eaters form large item, and PA bush
els of canary, hemp and millet seed
are demanded by the birds. The fish
eaters consume II tons of fish annually.
There are some odd items in the com
missarat. One can understand the Is
tons of biscuits, the four tons of rice,
and the Elrce tons of potatoes, but the
3,40O punches of watercress. the 1900
quarts of shrimp, the 1900 fowls heads
are among the unexpected. Carrots and
greens are popular. The latter include
500 dozen of cabbages. And there are
epicures who demand $4,000 eggs. The
nuts dispensed by visitors are far from
supplying the needs of the animals,
429 cwt' OF monkey nuts figure in the
annual consumption. Dates, grapes
ana ralsins have place in the menu.
| oranges are eaten to the tune of H.

The children's buns are glowing. but

Afraid to Wear Their Jewels.

A curious fact concerning the fes-
tivities over the coronation of the car
is the enormous impetus given to the
manufacture of paste gems. Russians
it appears, even al rank and status
are prone to the weakness known as
kleptomania, and wise women pre-.
pared for possible loss by substituting
sham jewels for real. A pageant and
display such as has been described
must inevitably call for the wearing
of such gems as are seldom seen. It
is rather amusing to learn that much
of the splendor is pretense and that,
too, because the grand danes do not
dare trust their treasures in a crush
even though the crowd be composed
of their own kind. Among the Musco
vites, however, the sin is said TO be
held a trifiing one and the story is
told that one lady Of high rank was
caught appropriating her cousins en-
eralds, and that the victim declined to
prosecute, merely saying: Poor So
phiel II is very painful and nervous
disorder."-N Y. Journal

He was trapped. Above the 20-foot

A BURIED SEA.
Tho Mysterious Lake of Sweet Water

Tho Mysterious Lake of Sweet Water
Under Constantinopie.
The city of Constantinople was built
on the ruins of Byzantium, and that
again on the ruins of an older city, the
record of which belongs to a prehistoric
period, but even under this there is
a structure that must have been old
when it was young; that, probably,
was old before Troy rose.
This is the wonderful underground
sea, the Lake of Sweet Water, the Pal
ace of the Neither World, "Yere Batari
Serai," as the Turks call it.
1t is the most mysterious thing of
human make in all the world, more
significant of mighty builders than
even the pyramids. A subterranean
body of water of unknown extent, out
of which rise uncounted thousands of
pillars which bear on sculptured capt.
tails the high roofs above which are
the ruin of many cities.
The ancient writer's on Constantinople
and Byzantium do not mention this
place. The workmanship resembles the
Assyrian, and the city which knew and
used "Yere Batari Serai" was probably
contemporary with Babylon. 1t was
covered many centuries. The Turks
drew water from it in many cases with
out knowing the source.
Giles discovered it in 1850. H. was
lost again, but redscovered two CEN
turtles later, and again lost. Finally it
was rediscovered in the rear of pri-
vate house on an obscure street. The
Turks think that the dreadful place
was built by genii, and that they dwell
there with ghouls and other monsters
and demons.-N. Y. Journal.
