There is n current tradition that
Wild animals horn in captivity do not
attain the savageness Of those bred
in their native jungle and that the
teeth OF such animals do not develop
as they do in the wild state. The SUI
perintendent Of the Zoo. whose ex-
pericnce with wild animals has been
almost lifelong. says that he has not
found these assertions TO be true,

However innocent and apparently
tame the cubs may appear, he saws
there is time when they attain saw

animals whose home has always been

reared In captivity and may be seen

which they are fed with evidence OF
possessing the most sound teeth pos

The only way in which wild animals
IN captivity usually suffer with their
teeth is that when they are fed they
grab at the meat which is pushed
through the bars with big iron
fork and break a. tooth on the fork.

bars iniure a tooth and suffer after

The little lions when baby cubs are
shy at first. then become as playful
as kittens. For the first year Of
their life usually they may be treated
as domestic animals. At the age Of
about ~ weeks the cubs are taken
from their mother, but in the mean
time she has taught them TO eat
meat. AZ first the cubs suck a bone
or a scrap Of raw meat, which the
mother tears on for them. Often
they may be seen gnawing upon a
bone which the mother lion holds in
her jaws and paws,
When first taken from their moth
sr, the cubs are given finely chopped
meat, the pieces being gradually
made larger until they are given
bones, upon which they sharpen and
develop their teeth: In time the lions
can crush the bones with ease. From

lions are, il is said, so cross as to be
almost unmanageable. AT the age OF

NaturaInes. r.. ArtincInIItr.

Naturalness is needed everywhere.
Artifciality, pretentiousness, strain
ing after effects by unnatural meth
DDS, are sure TO avail but little as
novelties, and in the long run weaken
the influence Of all who practice
them. The men and women of local
or public honor, influence and fame
are, and always have been, those who
have developed and used their gifts
naturally, which means in accordance
with nature, their own nature. Arti-
ficiality and assumption are danger
ously near hypocrisy. Even in the
dramatic profession IL Is naturalness
that attracts and wins. Let man
be himself everywhere, his best self
as fully as he can, and he viii be
justly rated by his fellows, whether

public one. A man may distinguish
himself in his naturalness, il he Is

IMPORTANCE OF CABLES
THEIR EFFECT IN THE WAR WITH
SPAIN.
Great System That Centers at London
and is About to be Vastly In
creased.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February g.
Capt. George o. Squire of the United
States Signal Corps, has recently pre-
pared most valuable paper on the in
fiuence of submarine cables upon mill
tary and naval supremacy
He begins by emphasizing the fact
that the accidental on-delivery of two
cable messages from the Spanish Min
lister of Marine to Admiral CerVera I'M
doubtedly largely changed the whole
history of the Spanish war. One of
these cables informed him of a coal
supply near at hand and the other
granted him permission to return at
once with his whole squadron to
Spain. AS he never wanted to sail for
American waters, he would have done
this at once.
With his squadron not eliminated all
our operations on sea would of necessi-
ty have been materially different.
The Spanish war, largely a story of
coal and cables, demonstrated for the
first time the dominating influence of
submarine cable communications in the
conduct of a naval war. The principal
maritime powers with colonial possess
siOns realize this and are all engaged
in Celebrating their cable policy"
The very foundation of successful
naval strategy is efficient and eXclus-
lively controlled communications, and
the lack of them more serious than in
ferior ships. Great Britain, with her
care and foresight, has created and de-
Veloped a network of submarine tele-
graph cables which today encircle a
large part of the entire world and the
principle of absolute state ownership
has come to be a controlling one in
England's future cable policy. Sub
marine cable communication is scarce
ly fifty years cd, yet the British EN-
pire is already bound together in one
vast intelligence transmission system
with London as its center. This sys-
tenn is and has been a principal ele-
ment of her strength, not only making
possible a government of subjects
differing widely in character, habits
and thought but placing in the hands
of the British Empire a powerful
means of real dominion over the rest
of the world.
Great Britain. France, Austria, Prus-
STA, Russia, Sardinia, Italy, Spain, Por-
tugal and Belgium have each estab-
lished a state telegraph system. The
cable policy of Great Britain has beer
