Great Improvements Made in
the Grounds.

Quarters.
NEW BUILDINGS

The Washington Geological Park has re-
Gently undergone great Improvement, and
promises in time to surpass the best OF SUCH
institutions Visitors this summer will dis
cover many changes wrought during the
past year. The landscape gardener has
been busily occupied In the creation OF
pleasing and picturesque settings for the
buildings and Enclosures. The architect
and builder have also been at work. and
several new structures have been erected,
and important additions have been made to
the fauna of the park. The park itself has
been inclosed with a wire fence that Will
keep In everything from a squirrel to
buffalo This fence is supported by steel
posts set in concrete, and is model OF
construction.
The most important building erected in
the park recently is the home OF DUNK, the
elephant, in which he has been receiving"
during the past six weeks. This is an
agreeable change for the old fellow. His
new house is built of brick, is well lighted
and ventilated and has a heating plant be-
Meath 1t is no longer necessary to chain
Dunk, and he has large space to move
about in, being separated from the visitor
by heavy fence of upright iron bars two
inches thick Outside Of this is railing
that keeps the public from too close APP
proach Back of his house is large yard
inclosed by another fence of heavy bars,
and Dunk Will De allowed TO spend much
OF his time during the summer in the open
air. The fence is joined to the building, in
the wall of which is built a heavy door
through which the animal may pass. In
the lower end of the yard there is large
elephantine bath tub. built of concrete and
sunk below the ground level, into which
water will be run, and Dunk allowed to
battle himself in this tank
The Mammoth Bird Cage.
The monstrous steel flying cage for
herons, cranes and other birds frequenting
marshy ground was completed last year,
and birds were placed in it late last sum-
mer. This cage is about 100 feet long and
30 feet wide, with height of about 90 feet
Fine steel wires, too small to be caught by
an ordinary camera, form the Enclosure
There are number of living trees within
and several pools fed by a branch that
runs through the grounds. In this cage the

How the Young of the Feathered Tribe

From the Atlantic Monthly.
There is school of the woods just as
much as there is a church of the woods or
parliament OF the woods, or society Of
united charities of the woods and no more:
there is nothing in the dealings of animals
with their young that in the remotest way
suggests human instruction and discipline.
The young of all the wild creatures do in
stinctively what their parent do and did.
They do not have to be. taught; they are
taught from the jump. The bird sings at
the proper age, and builds its nest, and
takes it's appropriate food without any hint
at all from its parents The young ducks
take to the water when Matched by hen
as readily as if Matched by duck. and dive
and stalk insects, and wash themselves just

derstand the various calls and signals of
their mother the first time they hear or see
them At the first alarm note they squat:
at a call to food they come on the first day
as the tenth. The habits of cleanliness
of the neStlings are established from the
first hour of their lives. When a bird comes
to build its first nest and to rear Its first
breed, it knows how to proceed. as well as
it does years later or as its parents did be-
fore it. The fox is afraid of a trap before
he has had any experience with 1t. and the
hare thumps upon the ground at sight of
anything strange and unusual. whether it's

that the crows and the jays might be called
the spies and informers of the woods, and
other creatures seem to understand the
meaning of their cries. but who shall pre-
sumo to say that they have been instructed
in this vocation? Mr.. Long would have us
believe the crows teach their young to fly.
He might as well say that the rooster
teaches its young to crow or that the cock
grouse teaches the young males to drum.
No bird teaches Its young to fly. They ny

ished and ready for their occupants in two
or three weeks.
The largest additions to the animal col
lections during the year have been from
Australia. The Australian group in the
park is regarded as the finest in the United
States, if not the best in the world The
most interesting newcomer in this group
was a specimen of the Tasmanian zebra
wolf. This is an animal distantly related
to the kangaroo, but is entirely different in
habit.
1t is the largest carnivorous marsupial
KNOWN and attains a length of four feet.
1t carries its young in a pouch just as does
the kangaroo but the pouch opens back
ward instead of forward. The back portion
of it's body is striped from which circum
stance it is called the zebra wolf.
The attendance of Sightseers at the park
grows larger every year and this year
promises to be record breaking one in
this respect. Every Saturday large num-
Der of school children are there but Sun
day is the great day for visitors. The park

is thronged continuously that day with peo-
pie of all classes and all ages. They all
consider it part of the pleasure of the trip
to feed some of the animals, and the Zoo
inhabitants are supplied literally with
cakes and fruits. Peanuts are forbidden
however, since they have been found to be
injurious to a number of species.
Dunk is not quite SO approachable in his
new quarters as he was in the old building
where he could rest his trunk on the rail
ing while visitors dumped in peanuts. But
since he is not chained it is not deemed
safe to run any risk of having a teaser
punished too severely by the great animal,
and the present rail is just beyond reach
of the elephants trunk. He is fed a great
many peanuts yet, however. and the guards
say he is as happy a lark in the ele-
plant way, though the average observer
would not suspect from the expression on
his countenance that he is in a pleased
state of mind.
The peacocks which roam about the
lawns are tanner than the domestic chick
en-, and will take bread crumbs from the
hand. 1t is amusing sometimes to see lit
tie tots feed the fowls. The baby is often
more timid than the bird and seems fearful

birds have space enough for free flight,
and with the appropriate surroundings muy
be observed In more natural action and
habits. A large number of birds to be kept
in this cage are tropical and sem-tropical,
and will remain there only during the
warm season. An addition has been made
to the bird house, which includes large
cage that will be used as winter quarters
for such birds.
An eagle cage similar in construction to
the flying cage, but smaller, has also been
built This is closed at one end and has n
shelter in which there are roosts, where
the birds may take refuge in the most Sc
we're weather. All the Zoo eagles are quar-
tered in this cage.
Bear Pits Added.
Several new bear pits are being built to
the rear of the present wooden cages up on
the hill. These are the first of a series of
about ten Enclosures for bears that are TO
