IMPROVEMENTS AT zoo.
Sunday Visitors Notice Much Work in
This Line

Visitors to the National Geological Park
yesterday were interested in several I'M
portant improvements now being made
there as well as in a number of recent ac-
quisitions to the great natural history col
lection in the park. The carnivore house.
one of a series of stone buildings that Will
eventually replace the present structures,
will be ready for occupancy by January l,
If not sooner. This building is of stone,
rCofed with tiles, the roof terminals being
ornamented with artistic terra-cotta casts
Of various North American carnivores, no.
tably lynxes, foxes etc The cages are
placed along the sides and at the ends of
the building, with new and modern ap-
paratus for washing, flooding etc, and over
each cage the roofing is of glass tiles, let
ting In a flood of light. Each cage will con-
meet with an outdoor compartment. The
structure is fireproof, no wood having been
used in Its construction. and is, moreover,
decidedly original, combining the good
points of the best zoo buildings of Europe
with an architecture that is meant to be
Thoroughly American. This Is secured large
ly through the figures of American game
animals on the roof and over the doorWayS.
Another improvement is the complete
transformation of the beaver, coypu and
other ponds.
Among the new animals recently added to
the collection is pair of aoudad or Bar
barry kids, which were born at the zoo some
weeks ago. There is a new and very hand
some male nyIgai, four young Celebes black
apes, a family of gray foxes. and five Lam
CUR monkeys from India. There are also
some new balloons belonging to variety
not usually seen in this country, four specl-
mems of the Texas bird, the road runner,
and gannet, which is occupying cage
with pair of sea gulls.
Another attractive, well as recent, ad-
dition to the zoo is small bear from

between the grizzly and Kadiak
