Dinner at the Zoo.

Dinner at the Zoo calls for a most
extensive and varied menu. In fact
the difficulty of keeping animals from
all quarters of the globe supplied with
food that resembles that TO which
they were used in their native fields,
forests or jungles is one of the most
difficult problems that the managers Of
geological collections must face. Only
one animal-the hog-seems wholly in
different as to the nature and quality
OF its food, and some species are ex-
tremely fastidious. Even the ostrich
malifests a choice and shows no rel
ish for the nails and old iron with
which 1t Is credited with regalng it
self on the African farms; and one
species, the Somalt ostrich, accepts
only green food, refusing to touch tbs
meat and biscuits Of which the South
African ostrich is very fond. The gil
raffe is one of the daintiest of beasts,
living in nature on the leaves which
it strips from trees. and in the gar
dens on the best clover hay, crushed
oats, bran and chaff, with fresh green
tares and an occasional onion as rel
isles; and while it is very fond OF
fresh, whole apples. rejects one that
has been bitten. Some animals are
able to change their native tastes and
acquire others, vegetarians becoming
flesh eaters, and insect eaters turn
ing to fruit and grain-as the kea Of
New Zealand, which, once a strict
vegetarian, has become very fond OF
mutton. Animals in the Zoo have to
submit to more or less of this, for their
native food is often unattainable.

quently. Unfortunately, the kan
garoos are very subject to govt and

horse blubber and plaice, and the croc-

Women I'm Science.

To assert that women have had an
important influence on the progress of
science would certainly be exaggera-
ton; but to say that they have always
been wholly foreign to it would be
still more inexact. The female sex
have, in fact, been for many centuries
contributing to the extension OF the
field of scientific knowledge; and now
that they are beginning to take more
prominent part in affairs of this cate
CORY. it seems a favorable time to re-
view some of their achievements and
10 notice some of the women whose
scientific accomplishments have been
most remarkable. We begin with a
Milanese mathematician of the eight
eenth century-Maria Agnesi, a woman
who was unique among the few who
have occupied themselves with the ex-
act sciences. Her precocious intelli-
gence and n prodigious memory. which
permitted her to express herself cor
rectly in seven languages, and her
rare aptitude for one of the most ardu-
Gus branches of mathematics-the in
finitesimal analysis of which Leibnitz
and Newton had only just indicated the
formulas-the saintliness of her life,
divided between study, prayer, and
charitable works-all contribute to
make her one of the most agreeable
characters which the scientific history
OF the last century offers us.-Apple-
tons Popular Science Monthly for
July.

Surgery for AnImaIs.

Veterinary surgeons are becoming SO
skilled that no longer is an ounce OF
lead the chief medicine administered
to a suffering pet animal. At the Royal
Veterinary college, Camden Town Eng
land, some wonderful operations have
been performed lately. The beast is
fastened in stock and chloroform is
administered, and as much pains are
taken as il a royal duke was the pa
tient. n mongrel mastiff pup, who
was given a false leg, takes great pride
in his wooden member. He soundly
thrashes other dogs with it in the bouts
in which he still engages-to the in
tense amazement of his opponents. A
collie belonging to the duchess of MARI
borough was run over by cab and one
of its legs had to be amputated. A
false leg Of aluminium was supplied.
The joints at the knee are movable
springs. One little dog, a valuable
whippet, was so annoyed by its artifi-
cial legs that they were taken off, and
it hops about like a kangaroo. When
horses tails are locked they have no
protection from the flies If they are
turned out to pasture. Therefore false
tails are devised which allow them 20
enjoy their communion with nature. A
valuable terrier. Toby" belonging to
the duke Of Bedford, was fitted for a
set of false teeth, which gives him
great assistance in rat catching.

Ancestral worship, which is a prin-
cipal part of a Chinaman'D religion,
sometimes bears fruit in fllial devotion
which it would be hard to find among
the nations who are at present preying
upon the Chinese empire. For exam
pie, at Canton, few weeks ago, a
young man eighteen years of age was
executed on the charge OF murder, al
though it was known that he was not
guilty A Shanghai paper, in COM
menting upon the incident, spoke Of
the large amount of sympathy that was
felt for the condemned man, because
it was so well known that the actual
murderer was his father. In order 10
save his parent and satisfy the law OF
life for life" the son gave himself
up as soon as he knew that his father
had done the deed, and confessed the
murder. AS the Chinese saying has
it, HE sealed his filial piety with his
blood"

Japan and China are again having a
little difficulty, but it is probable that
China, in view of the result of the late
war, will yield gracefully to the de-
mands of the island kingdom. 1t
seems that some of the Chinese prov
inces have been having some anti
Japanese riots, and incidentally de-
stroying Japanese property. Japan de-
mands that decree be issued ordering
officials and people to respect foreign
property and life; that rioters and Of
ficials be punished; that Japan be paid
1860 taels for property damaged, and
that Japan be allowed to establish new
settlements. japanese papers contain
strong pro-Am1rican editorials and
express the hope that the United States
will hold the Philippines.

cry conceivable way the beauty of com

should be opened up TO the young. II
this were done men and women would
have more to think about than selfish
or family troubles. They would fall
back upon their mental treasures and
upon all-bountiful nature when gloomy
days came upon them. They would
brood less and would not think OF end
ing their existence. II everybody
would devote their lives more to the
pursuits of happiness than they do

WHEAT PROSPECTS.

Last year American wheat growers
enjoyed a double advantage. Their
own crop was an abundant one, and
outside of the United States there was
an almost worldwide deficiency. This
occasioned an active demand for
American wheat, intensified by the fact
that the worlds crop in 1896 also had
been deficient.
The government reports show that
our exports of food products reached
a value in tho fiscal year just closed OF
more than eight hundred million dol
lars. OF breadstuffs alone we sent
abroad last year nearly one million dol
lars worth for every business day.
The government forecasts indicate
that the wheat crop this year will be
even larger than last year. AS usu-
ally happens, after a particularly prof
liable crop, there has been an increase
in the acreage, which is this year by
far the largest ever recorded.
The condition of the winter wheat
crop, according to the system of per-
centages on which the government
makes its forecasts, is better than for
seven years, and is twelve per cent in
advance Of that of last year. The
spring wheat crop Is not beyond the
influence of adverse weather condi-
lions; but the June estimate was
higher than for fifteen years, and elev-
en- per cent. in advance OF June last
year. Later private reports were less
favorable than this.
Foreign crop prospects are not yet
sufficiently defined to afford a basis for
estimates. 1t is not probable that the
deficiency of last year and the year
preceding will be repeated; but the
worlds supplies have recently run so
low that, even with a good crop in
other wheat-producing countries, there
is likely to be an active demand for
the surplus from our wheat fields.

A POSSIBLE TRAGEDY.

Home, told recently an incident in the
life Of the Princess of Wales, which
shows how accuracy and thoroughness
were the means of avoiding a possible
catastrophe. The princess is, it ap-

tographer, and with her daughter, the
Princess Victoria, is in the habit of
taking pictures of the scenery, people
and animals in and about Sandring-
ham, herself developing and mounting
them afterward.
