GoriIIns Seldom in Captivity.

From the New YORK Times
William T. Hornaday. director of the
New York Geological Society, is authority
for the statement that the first genuine
gorilla seen alive in this country reached
Boston on the I'd of last May, and died five
days afterward from the effects of a cold
caught on the voyage across the Atlantic.
The gorilla, says Mr. Hornaday, is one of
the rarest animals ever shown in geological
gardens 1t is sullen and Emphatic in cap
tivity, and its pernicious inactivity predis-
poses the animal to indigestion, loss of ap-
petite and an early death. In consequence
of the infrequency with which gorillas are
captured alive. and their obstinate refusal
to harmonic with their environment when
caught, their months of life in captivity
are, in every case, but few. Only three or
four specimens have ever been exhibited in
Europe. Two of these were inmates at
different periods, of the London Zoo
Two American ape fanciers. the Edwards
brothers, found genuine 6aby gorilla
alive and well in Liverpool last spring, and
purchasing it brought it at once to this
country without taking the precaution to
wait for warm weather. During the five
days of its existence in this country it was
exhibited in Boston. Mr.. Hornaday SAYS
that it was twenty inches high, and weigh
ed fifteen and half pounds. The sailors
who took it to Liverpool from the Gaboon
country said that its capture was due to
an accident to its mother, who was killed
by falling tree. When it was captured
the natives fed 1t on plantains and rice
but on shipboard and in Boston its bill of
fare was increased so as to include milk
dry bread, apples, oranges, figs and ba-
nanaS. The strange little creature is de-
scribed as having been q hearty eater and
quite pugnacious. Showmen have on va
rious occasions attempted to palm or cheap
and common dog-faced balloons as genuine

Rubber Tires for Coal Carts.
From the Roston Herald

The coal transfers of Boston and vicinity
VIII meet at 1855 Broadway, South Boston.
tomorrow afternoon to decide whether TO
call upon the city government to pass an
ordinance obliging the owners of heavy
coal carts to put rubber tires on their
wheels; also to have the carts fitted with
sidelights. The teamsters declare that the
rubber tires and sideiights are public
necessity. as so much coal is delivered in
the evening during the busy season. Many
of the coal dealers are opposed to this
proposition. They declare that it would put
them TO a heavy expense, which would
make sad inroad upon their profits.
There seems to be a growing opinion
among the dealers that it would be better
10 discontinue the delivering of coal in the
evening If this expense of rubber tires and
sidelghts Is to be forced upon them They
affirm that the delivering of coal in the
evening is wearing upon the horses, and
that they would be pleased to discontinue
it entirely providing every dealer will agree
not TO deliver coal after o'clock az night
These men, it is said, prefer union to the
expense of rubber tires and sfdeiights. The
transfers, however. will decide definitely
what TO do tomorrow.

An Annuity I'm Supplies.


From the London Spectator.
With life itself, education. and the SIM
pier and more satisfactory pleasures cheap
ened, it will not be a great matter if the
yield on securities becomes even prohibi-
lively small. AT the very worst even if
each individual were obliged to spend all
his savings on keeping himself and his
wife alive in their old age 1t would only
mean that their children would be thrown
on their own resources and forced 10 make
their own way, instead of being cut off as
many are now, from productive activity by
the deadening influence of a competence
The possibility of such state of things
OPENS up all sorts of interesting subjects of
speculation. If by investing money in Sc
eurities We ran no longer reap a sufficient
II onetary harvest to make it worth while
we shall have TO invent new methods of in
vesting it i'll the commodities that are con-
sidered desirable. The saving citizen of
the future will first buy his house, or the
right to live in it for the rest of his life
and will then develop a system by which he
will make payment down to the universal
provider of the future, in return for which
he will receive the right to duly resulat ted
81 pply of food, clothes and subsidiary nee
essaries. such as tobacco and books, for the
rest of his life. Such a system of annuities
paid in kind would save a great deal of
now that the risk of life is calculated with
actuarial exactness. With such devices as
these the new conditions would ultimately
be adapted to the convenience of those who
fall in with them most readily: and those
who take a pessimistic view of the results
of the decline in the yield on securities may
take comfort in the thought that. what
ever happens to the money market, enter
prise and industry will always come to the
front.

From the Central Presbyterian Richmond Va
1t is one of the marvels of trees that
every species bears it's own mark in every
part, root and branch, bark and leaf as well
as fruit. A wise elder told us the other
day the species of oak from which an acorn
came by the fine tracery on the acorn's
cup. Such riot of colors and tints there is
in the falling leaves that one might think
the colors are accidental But the keynote
of color is constant in any species, with
only exceptional variations. The mistress
OF manse in the Virginia valley once
went into the woods and selected her young
trees by their colors. and those colors they
still wave in each returning fall. The
birches are a golden yellow, while the oaks
vary through yellow-orange to a reddish
brown. The red maple sheds at the last
dark-red leaf and the tulip tree light yell
low. The hawthorn and the poison oak are
violet, while the sumac and the wild vines
take on flaming scarlet. Soil will make
some variations and a dry season will al
most take the color and beauty altogether
away.
