The Animals OF the Lion House.
The procuring Of a collection OF lions,
tigers, leopards and other large felines,
suitable to display in q lion house cost

testify it will not answer to exhibit third
class animals in a first class building. @
When it became necessary for the ex-
ecutive committee to take up the ques-
ton of providing a collection for the lion
house, It,, was decided that the founders
and patrons of the society should be. in
vited to contribute sums OF money with
which to purchase animals to take. their
places in the collection as Individual gifts.
"A list Of the animals desired, and their
probable cost, was prepared and sent out
with a suggestion that any one desiring. to

unqualified success and from a sanitary
point of view it is equally perfect. The
ceilings are about half skylight. so
that the animals have an abundance of
light for exhibition purposes and quite
as much as is good for them.
The Exterior Cages.
The exterior cages have been planned
somewhat differently from the interior
cages. This series consists Of three
enormously Large cages-two semi circular
and one square and six smaller cages.
Each of the large cages represents two
of the large interior .dens and at first
will be used by the occupants of these
dens alternately. They have been planned
however. with a view Of subdividing them
later If 1t should be found desirable. The
semi circular cages at the north and
south ends of the series are 3S feet wide
and AZ feet inches deep. The large. cen
trail. cage measures 38x3S feet and the
smaller cages are each II feet 6 inches
wide by "a feet deep. The fronts of all
these are, of the same steel wire netting
that is used in the interior of the build

to their occupancy by the animals all the
exterior cages will be provided with rock

desirable to promote the comfort and sat-

EXTENDING NORTH RIVER PIERS
Argument in Favor of Their Extension
by New York Engineer.

Gen. Oliver, acting secretary of war; has
received, through McDougal Hawks, chair
man of the dock commission of New Yorl;
city, paper prepared by Samuel Whin-
merry civil engineer which sets forth the
content ons of the dock commiss' on in favor
of the extension of the piers into North
river two hundred feet further than at
present, making them 1000 feet in length
The paper is an argument in favor of the
extension, and disputes the contention of
the engineers of the army that the extern
sion win be to the detriment of navigation
by increasing the river current to a dan
gerous degree. Mr.. Whinnery contends
that it would be much better in frightening
the piers to make the extension into the
river than into the land He asserts that
no extension piers the New jersey SIDE
are necessary, and that the claim that an
extension on the New York side of the river
would mean an extension the New Jer-
sey side is not well founded
This matter has been pending for num-
Der of months, and the transportation in
terests' centered in New York city have
been very much interested in the final de-
cison. 1t has now been referred to Gen.
Gillespie, chief of engineers, for report.
