ANIMALS AND MUSIC.
A Strange Experiment Made In aZoolog-
ical Garden.

A Strange Experiment Made In a zoolog-
ical Garden.
A violinist was playing various airs
before the cages of the animals. The
bow, which had been passing backward
and forward half drowsily, took up
gait that would have distanced one OF
the deer in the pen by the buffaloes'
yard. Then there was transformation
scene in the home of the lioness as rap
id and as complete as that OF the tune.
The cubs went into ecstacies. They roll
ed about, jumped, fell over one another,
raced over their mothers recumbent
body, and danced unrebuked on her
head. They ceased their tantrums only
with the ceasing of the music.
Then they gathered at the front bars
of the cage again and silently and pa
thetically pleaded for more. Their plea
was successful, and in response to the
delicate flattery conveyed by their man
ner the player gave the lullaby once
more. They simply sat and listened to
it as silently as they had at the first.
The transition to the jig music was
once more made speedily. The first note
of the lively air had barely left the vio-
lin before its riotous contagion had
once more caught the cubs. They roll
licked and rolled about and stopped on
ly when the professor, fearing to tire
their little limbs, took his bow from
his fiddle and told them they had danced
enough for debutantes.
The hyena is an uncanny brute. His
very appearance goes a great way to-
ward bearing out charges of graveyard
robbery brought against him. He ha:
no music i'll his soul nor room for any.
Sweet sounds are to him so antipodal tC

The beauty of stage setting is being
greatly enhanced by electric light do
vices. For instance, in a play founded
on life on the Mississippi, most realis-
tic bit of scenic detail is introduced. In
one of the scenes, which depicts a
southern swamp, the air is thick with
firefiies, which fit and glow with a
most realistic phosphorescence. The Sc
cret of this effect is net hung in front
of the back scene, upon which are fas-
tened innumerable small Geissler tubes
These are connected with a battery ac-
taated by keyboard, which can be OPP
Grated ut the will of the electrician. BY
swinging the net gently backward and
forward the motion of the fireAies is
perfectly initiated.
In the weird opera of 1.-The Flying
Dutchman" an extraordinary effect is
produced, as the phantom ship comes in
sight, by the bursting forth from the
topmasts and yards of st. Elmo's fire
the phenomenon which occurs i'll the
tropics on account of the electrical ten
sion between the earth and the clouds
and the streaks of blush white light
wave like spectral banners high over
the gloomy deck and the ghostly steers
man. This striking illusion is effected
by placing on the top of each mast a
100 candle power arc lamp, which is
operated individually from keyboard.

Ace Saves Shoe Leather.

covered that the older he grows, the
longer he wears his shoes, and conse'
quently the less is his shoe bill. AS a
young man he wore out at least four
pairs a year. Two now suffice him.

thinnest of single soles now wear twice
as long as double soles did. He walks
quite as much as he ever did, but his
tread is less heavy, and that is why his
shoes wear longer.
His experience is that OF others who
have reached his years. The reverse is
VIGOROUSLY true. The younger chlld
is, the sooner he will wear out his shoes.

Here is a funny and true story:
Four Chicago newspaper men were IN

could make up a quartet party for trav-
cling the aspect of affairs was changed.
They decided that as they would nave
jolly journey they would all 60. DE,

Tobacco In a Cricket Ball.

A crickt yarn which is having fine
run in Australia refers to the use made
of cricket ball by some prisoners who
were allowed to exercise in the yard OF
country jail.
Drives over the Jail wall became so
frequent that the prisoners did little
else but field aud throw the ball back
again.
At last the governor became suspl-
cious and insisted ON examining the
ball. 1t was of india rubber and remark
ably light for its size. The explanation
was that the inside was composed of to-
bacco.
The halves of the ball screwed togeth-
or neatly, and it is now said to be one
of the treasures of the Jail museum. -

heroic Treatment OF Patients.

The hospital physician should be
man of the most thorough methods and
the most extreme conservatism. Ho
should be chosen as much for his prac-
teal good sense as for his skill In dag
nosing disease. He should be man
with intuitions and ought to be able to
decide almost at glance whether pa
tient is suffering from brain trouble or
alcoholism.
There have been of late great many
instances where this mistake has been
made, and it is by no means creditable
to the hospital authorities when such
blunders are made.
One of the latest exploits of hospl-
tai doctor was to order cold bath for
consumptive patient who showed some
SYMPTOMS of hysteria. Shortly after the
bath the woman died. Just why doc
tor should order such treatment COM
mon sense as well as the medical pro-
fession would like very much to know.
Hospitals are in the main supported
by the people, and the people have a
right TO good treatment and courtesy at
the hands of those who are put III
charge of such institutions. Failing to
receive this, the public has also the
right to demand an investigation OF the
situation and to demand the punish
ment of those who are guilty OF such
unprofessional and inhuman conduct
and that their places be filled by those
who are more intelligent and better tit.
