FIGHTING FoR A ZOO"
Prsk LansIey's Persistent Emorts to
Preserve Wild Animals.

In an illustrated article on THE Ma.
tional Zoo at Washington Ernest
Seton-Thompson, the author.artist,
tells what hard work Prof. Langley
had to do before Congress woull pass
\ bill to establish such an institution:
In 1887, when the newly appoint.
ted Secretary Of the Smithsonian In.
stituion, Mr.. s. p. Langley, who,
though an astronomer and a physicist
had been very strongly impressed by
the fact that all our largest and most
interesting native animals were rapid.
ly approaching extinction. conceived
the idea of securing a tract Of country
as primitive as possible, that might be
made a lasting city of refuge for the
vanishing races. This was the main
idea when first Mr.. Langley went be-
fore Congress to urge the establish.
ment Of a National Geological Park.
In all ages 1t has been the custom OF
potentates to keep a collection of wild
animals for their amusement, and the
American people, being their own rul-
er, had numberless precedents, before
them when urged to make this much.
needed collection Of animals.
In such a case the advantage Of 4
monarchy is that only one man must
be convinced, whereas In the republic
the consent Of majority OF seventy
millions had TO be obtained.
This took time. Fierce battles had to
be fought with ignorant and captious
politicians. One objected that he did
not see why people should pay ito
have the Nebraska Elk and Florida
Alligators cooped up" II they had to
spend money for 1t they would want
things they could not see at home
Dog-faced Baboons, Kangaroos, Man
eating Tigers. etc. Another. n fervent
patriot, objected to any money being
spent on exotic species, as 1t was con-
trary to the spirit Of the Constitution
to encourage or import foreigners!
Altogether the Secretary Of the
Smithsonian found II NO easy bill to
carry, though 1t was indorsed by near
ly every scientist and educator In the
country.
After three years of persistent ef.
fort, Involving vastly more worry than
the management of the whole Smith.
sonian Institution for three times that
period. Mr.. Langley succeeded In car
rying both houses Of Congress over
the successive stages Of ridicule, toler.
alton, and favorable consideration, to
the point of accepting and providing
for the scheme.
An appropriation was made for
National Geological Park to be estab-
lished In the District Of Columbia for
the Advancement Of Science and the
instruction and Amusement Of the
People," as well as a city of refuge
where those ''native animals that
were threatened with extinction
might live and perpetuate their spe-
cies In peace"

One Man Who VIII Not Throw rhinss

The drummer sitting next TO the

There was a man so wondrous wise
That nothing took him by surprise;
He was SO wise no use he saw
In striving 'gainst fate's ruthless law
He found no sense In human grief
And laughter brought him no relief.
He was so wise. the neighbors said
The man might just as well be dead
