washington POST
The problem of keeping the big animal
houses at the Zoo warm during the cold
weather, with coal rarer than polar bears.
is a serious one just now, and while mat
tiers haven't come to a show down yet,
the keepers are busy guessing the polar
bears are happy. They are in their ele-
ment and the slight visitation Of snow
on Christmas was a present from Santa
*.laus direct from their home in Green
land, that brought them unalioyed de-
light.
with the tropical animals. the lions,
tigers and other members Of the shiverlns
cat family, to say nothing of the mon
keys, the scarcity of coal is viewed with
anxiety. not to say actual alarm, ana the
poor beasts from between Capricorn and

can keep the boilers hot, and they think
they can. Not such a great quantity OF
coal is consumed as would be expected,
considering the large number OF animals
housed, and contracts for the necessary
supply Of fuel can be filled. OF course,
ifsthes situation becomes SO bad that no
coal can be obtained, and the furnaces
cannot be kept running, some strenuous
action must be taken to keep the crea-
lures from catching cold. A number OF
recommendations have been offered

IT has been suggested that the tropical
members OF the feline Family. which are
prone to throat trouble, might be wrap
ned in quilts while the freezing snap con-
tinues. It has been pointed out that this
could be done without much trouble. It
has also been suggested that harmless
pets might be loaned out to families liv-
ing lii the vicinity OF the Zoo. and al
lowed to keep near the kitchen fire for
warmth.
Other methods OF inducing comfort
among the animals have been brought to
the attention Of the authorities, among
them the advisa bility OF placing the bears
IN the cages with the tigers. The former.

rested for hours again until he felt him

a last effort and the aid of board

landed on the porch and into the second
