ANIMAL FRIENDSHIPS.
Queer Cases of Attachments Form e.
In Large Zoos.

From Tit-Bits.
Among the strange features of life
in a large zoo are the unexpected, and,
at times, amusing friendships that
spring up between animals of altogeth-
Ell dissimilar habits and natures. out
at the National Zoo two Rhesus mon
keys have formed a warm friendship
for a large Belgium hare, but this is
bot so surprising as some of the Pla-
ftonic loves that have been noted else
where. Some years ago the botanical
gardens at Rio de Janeiro, the capital
of Brazil, kept a large manatee i'm a
pond on the grounds. 1t was an inn
mense creature, and, in time, became
so tame that it would come to the wa
ter's edge and eat grass out of the
hands of the visitors. This leviathan
formed an attachment for an European
swan, kept on the lake, and followed
it about as though the swan were its
guardian, so that wherever the swan
happened to be one had only to look
in the clear water by it's side to see
the lazy manatee floating about and
feeding on the water plants at the bot
tom. Visitors soon found this out, and
w NOetAlIS buG swan 70 the GuS6 VI
the lake they were always sure of
the manatee's following. When the
swan left the water, the manatee was
discontinued and restless until it re-
turned. AS for the swan, it grew so
accustomed to the big animal, that it
had no fear when the manatee rose
by its side to take air, and so the two
got along famously
Mr.. Afialo, in his description of the
private menageries of England, says
that such attachments come about oft
en- in the big animal parks of Great
Britain. At one of them, Leonardslee,
he saw a Sambur deer and a Welsh
pony that were great chums. At pres
ent one of the pair of hippopotami in
the London zoo has grown very fond
of an ordinary black house cat that
enters and leaves the quarters of the
big brute at will. In another private
menagerie in England, Mr.. Afialo saw
two gray wolves that were hand in
glove" with an European bear. Some
times the bear would get tired of the
incessant, boisterous play of the wolves
in which event he would climb a tree
and lie down to sleep i'm the forks of
some branches, leaving his companions
to howl over his absence below
Sir Harry Johnston, the discoverer OF
the Okapi, in his recent work on Ugan-
da, describes how. for a time, he UNI
dertook the tanning and domestication
of a number of wild animals of that
country, an experiment in which he
was partly successful. Among the an
imals which he had at his geological
experiment station was a baby ele-
plant and a young zebra that became
great cronies. The little elephant had
a way of twining it's trunk in loving
embrace around the neck of the zebra
and although the latter was usually
very affectionate toward the little ele.
| plant, there were other times when Il
became bored and tired OF constant
attentions and demonstrations of love
and nipped the little elephant with Its
sharp teeth, right spitefully, causing
the little fellow to squeal under the
pinch.

Highest wind Record.

From the Scientific American.
Point Reyes, an important United
States weather bureau and storm sig
nal station, located on the California
coast some thirty-five miles north of
San Francisco, holds the worlds rec
ord for high, strong, continuous
winds. Last year Point Reyes cap
tured this honor from the weather sta
tions of the earth, and again this
month (May) has gone several notches
higher on the meteorological scale.
On May Is, 1902, the wind at Point
Reyes attained a velocity of 102 miles
an hour and for several minutes was
rushing along at the furious rate of 120
miles per hour. A fearful gale lasted
for three whole days, and at one time
the winds in a playful mood ripped the
cups from the thermometer. This year,
on May IA, the winds commenced to
blow again with the greatest violence.
For four days the velocity registered
averaged more than sixty miles an
hour For nine days the average We
locity was fifty-two miles an hour.
The total number of miles recorded on
the thermometer was 1928 miles. This
is the highest velocity of wind for the
time on record in the world.

To Break Svvann's Will.
Through attorneys Mrs. Emma S.
Floyd and Mrs. Sallie McLarin of
Campbell county, nieces of the late
James Swami, have filed a protest
against the probation of his will in the
Court of Ordinary here. They emphati-
cally deny that the will offered for pro-
bate is the Ii st will and testament of
James Swami and charge that at the
time of the execution of the present
alleged will the banker, financier and
philanthropist was mentally incompe-
tent to make will, and was subject TO
the undue influence of Alfred X
Swami, his brother, who is designated
as the residuary legatee and to whom
the great bulk of the immense estate
will go. The trial of the case was con-
tinued until the next term of the court.

Privntes Who Become Generals.
From the Buffalo Express.

Another interesting feature of the
situation is the fact that a former
private soldier is to be head of the
army, under the President. Gen. Young
began his military career as private
in the Twelfth Pennsylvania Infantry
in 1867. When he retires next January
he will be succeeded by another for
mer private soldier-Gen. Chaffee. Gen.
Chaffee enlisted as a private in the
Sixth Cavalry in 1861, and will not
retire until 1906. So the first two
chiefs of the General staff will be SOL
diers who have risen from the ranks.
But six of the seventeen men who
have been generals-in-chief of the
United States army have been West
Pointers. Those six ranged from Grant
to Schoheld All six reached the com
mand in consequence of the Civil War,
and now once again the generalcy-in-
chief has swung back to soldiers who
entered the army by other doors than
the Military Academy. W

SAVANNAH SOLDIERS
ENJOYING CAMP LIFE
Great Military Ball Will Be Feature on Friday
Night at Augusta

Augusta, July S.-Conditions were
ideal in Camp Terrell this afternoon for
+be great ceremony of the day, the brig
ade review and evening parade. The
showers that had fallen in the past
.wenty-four hours laid the dust, the
western sky was just enough overcast
with light clouds to prevent any I'M
,leasant glare, while above the eastern
horizon. even before sunset shone the
male face of the full moon.
A thousand spectators on foot and In
vehicles lined the outskirts of the big
narade grounds, and witnessed the mil
itary maneuvers. At the close of the
parade the sunset gun was fired, the
hand struck up the "Star Spangled
Banner" and as the camp flag was
uncovered heads, a striking and in
spring picture.
Col. Thomasson said tonight: cit
is the best Fegimentaa encampment
ever enjoyed by Georgia troops. We
have more than a thousand men in
camp. The discipline is good, the spir-
it and temper of the men excellent,
the camp site is ideal, the weather has
been most favorable, the military in
struction by the Regular Army officers
is admirable, the interest manifested
in the encampment by the Augusta
people is highly encouraging, and every
condition and environment is crafty
ing"
All are looking forward now to the
coming of the Governor and his staff
on Saturday and the big review and
parade.
Arrangements are now being perfect
ed for a military ball in the city Fri
day night, and the Governor has been
wired to-day, urging his arrival here
Friday evening, instead of Saturday
morning. in order that he and his staff
may also grace this social function.
The Savannah men are enthusiastic
about Camp Terrell and Col. Thomas

night: This is one of the pleasantest

BABY WEATHER,
Little Fellows Don't Like the Hot
Days.

OaySs
Mothers should know exactly what
food to give babies in hot weather.
With the broiling hot days in July
and August the mother of the baby
is always anxious for the health of her
little one and is then particularly care
full in feeding. Milk sours quickly and
other food is uncertain. Even In spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
in and then the right food is more
necessary than ever.
"Our baby boy two years old began
in August to have attacks of terrible
stomach and bowel trouble. The physi-
clan said ris digestion was very BAD
and that If 1t had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
FINALLY we gave baby Grape-Nuts
food feeding it several times the first
day and the next morning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was a great
change in the condition of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
normal. He is now well and getting
very strong and fleshy and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life Tor ne
was a very, very i'll baby. Grape Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
To effect such cures as this.

usa Grape-Nuts and also Postum in
Mace of coffee with the result that we
never any of us have any coffee ills

nv Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason Grape-Nuts food relieves
bowel trouble in babies or adults Is be-
cause the starch of the grain is pre-
digested and does not tax the bowels,
nor ferment like white bread, potatoes
and other forms of starch food.

has been cool and cloudy all the time,
and even when the sun has shone
brightly there has been a constant
breeze over this hilltop. These hills
all around us make the country look
almost mountainous, while this plateau
on which the camp is pitched is level as
a table. The men are all satisfied with
their surroundings and accommoda-
lions, and the regimental commissary
under Capt. F. w. Garden has given
general satisfaction. The men are en-
joying good fare. and there is practi-
ca1ly no sickness in the camp.
The presence of the regulars is of
great interest to the Savannah troops,
who are watching their drills with keen
military interest. The coaching of the
regular officers, Col. Mills, Capt. John
son and Lieuts. Boswell and Lynch,
who have many friends in Savannah,
is very heartily appreciated. The men
morning, an hour is devoted to COM
pany drills in close and extended, and
in the afternoon there is an hour of
battalion drill also in close and extend
ed order.
The great ceremony of the day,
which attracts an immense number OF
visitors, is the brigade review and
evening parade and review. The re-
viewing officers are Col. Mills and Col
Thomasson, and many of the officers
are splendidly mounted, making the
ceremony a fine spectacle.
The troops of the First Regiment are
acquitting themselves with great
credit, and it is safe to predict that
the encampment, under the efficient
direction Of Col. Gordon, who is doing
everything conceivable for the comfort
of the men, will prove most satisfac-
tory in its military results. The mer
are allowed all liberty that is consist
ent with discipline and the discharge
of their duties, and the time is pass
ing most pleasantly.

RATIFIES TREATY

Havana, March 29-The treaty OF
reciprocity between Cuba and the

ate of the United States. was approved
at s O'Clock last night in the Cuban
Senate by n vote of IL to .. This ap-
provaI is absolute and is not hampered
by any conditions. the questionable
time limit amendment having been dis
pensed with through the receipt OF the
cable message from Secretary Hay, in
which 1t was positively declared that
President Roosevelt would call spe-
cial session of Congress prior to De-
cember LIST. The purport of this was
transmitted to the Senate and read at
the beginning OF the session, an un-
derstanding having been reached pre-
yiously with Senators Bustamente, Ca
pote and Dolz, composing the majority
OF the foreign relations committee, that
the Objectionable condition in the re-
port be eliminated. This was done by
the Offering OF amendments by other
senators substituting the adoption OF
the amendments TO the treaty by the
American Senate for the qualified ac-
ceptance contained in the original re-
port.
United States Minister Squiers said
tonight TO the representative OF the
Associated Press: THE ratification OF
the treaty without amendment IN due
almost entirely to the assurances given
by President Roosevelt that he Will call
an extra session of Congress before De-
