So The purpose of the society was not to
erect ornate and snowy buildings, to out
do others Of similar kind, but rather to
give their animals roony and health-giv-
ing space, plenty of sunlight and ample
space for the public. The execution of
these liberal intentions with first-class
building materials have, indeed, produced
palatial animal buildings.
The ground plans and arrangements of
all these structures have, of course, been
designed by the director of the Geological
Park. Whenever a feature could be cop
led from some other geological garden the
fact has always been publicly acknowl-
edged.
OF all the large buildings, the monkey
house must be regarded as the leading sue
cess, because it differs most widely from
all others of its kind. because of the we'll

are so offensive, and also because of the

apes, now three and a half years IN this
building, are as lively and hardy three
street gamdns, and all are growing rapidly.
Last year there was only one case of tuber-
culosis in this collection of about 100 apes,
balloons, monkeys and lemurs. The new
systems of ventilation and sanitation, have
proven highly satisfactory, and the abund-
ant supply of fresh air has a marked influ-
ence on the health of the animals. During
the past year seven species have produced
young, and six have reared them.
Among the important new features that
have been developed IN the Geological Park
are the following: Fences of steel wire for
hoofed animals, instead of heavy bars of
iron or wood; cage fronts for all lions.
tigers. monkeys and birds, of wire netting
instead of bars; open air yards for bears,
wolves and foxes; heated pools of water
under strong sunlight for crocodilians: the
flying cage idea for all birds, carried out
to its limits; walls of jungle green glass
tiles for lions, tigers and otner large feline
animals; !grass-grown ranges for all deer.

One of the innovations of the Geological
Society is the publication of popular
scientific annual report and quarterly bull
fetin, both richly illustrated and nlied with
news and observations of the animal world.
These specially for the members of the
society.
Because of the success of the society In
the management of the Geological Park, in
1902 the city government requested it to
take absolute control of the great New
York Aquarium and develop it on a scien-
tiic basis. This trust was accepted in
1903, and the result has been very salts
factory to the public.
The society now consists of about 1 700
members and ii annually expends on the
Geological Park, from its own funds, about
$4,000 The following collections are es-
pecially large and fine: Deer, African
bears. apes and monkeys. lions and leop-
ards, water birds. small mammals song
birds, reptiles. The general plan of the
park is the work of the director. Work
began in 1898. the grounds were formally
opened in 1899 and the work of develop

ious to avoid.

ical park could be established by expert

creation and maintenance. That plan was

sighted executive committee Of the new
society.
The New York Geological Park. soon to
b, completed, is the Joint creation of gen.
erous private individuals and the city of
New York. Up to this date the Geological
Society has expended uopn 1t about s446.-
600 from its own funds, virtually as gift
to the city. The city has furnished beau
tiful park of 261 acres, the water supply,
police protection and an annual mainte,
nance fund of S135,0O0. The entire control
of the institution is vested in the officers
of the society, and it is as free from "po-
litical influence" as any of the great Amer
lean universities. 1t enjoys the cordial sup
port of men of all creeds and all political
parties. The society furnishes, at its own
expense, all the animals. The city grants
to the society two pay days" QMonday and
Thursday, and all money producing priv
ileges in the park, with the stipulation that
al. net proceeds derived therefrom shall be
expended in the purchase of animals.
The permanent improvements not paid for
by the society have been financed by the
city, with funds derived from the sale of
loDg-term bonds bearing a rate of low in
crest. The taxpayer of today pays the
cost of maintenance. and the society and
posterity pay for all else.
The plan works admirably. The New
York taxpayer is quite willing to be taxed
for fine collection of living animals that
Is maintained free unto him and his chill
dren. Just as the society intended, the
animals are seen by the millions of the
poor, instead of by the well-to-do only. AL
ready other American cities are adopting
the New York plan, In detail, and it Is des
tined to become widely popular.
But 1t is not alone In its plan of founda-
ton that the New York Geological Park
differs from all other institutions of Its
kind.

The founders of every scientific zoo,ogi-

most to provide for the comfort of their

comfort promotes longevity, and a happy

In Europe the universal plan has been to
locate each geological garden as near as
possible to the heart of it's parent city,
and make its concert hall and restaurant a
popular social resort, for the production of
revenue. The result of this is a site con-

~ OR the creation and maintenance of
free geological parks, in a manner
satisfactory to taxpayers. the New
II York Geological Society has devel-
oped a plan which in America is at
taining wide popularity. 1t is distinctly an
American plan, and is well worthy of at.
tertion from all those who are interested
in the creation of free educational collec-
tons of living animals.
In 1895 the New York Geological Society
was Incorporated for the distinct purpose
of bringing to the human millions OF New
York city a series of collections which
would fifty represent the living mammals,
birds and reptiles of the world. The prin-
eiples first laid down were that the pro-
posed institution should be seriously edu-
cational, that 1t should also afford oppor-
tunities for outdoor recreation and the en-
joyment of natural scenery, and, finally,
that It should be free to all. 1t was de-
cided that the ends desired could best be
secured by partnership arrangement be-
tween the philanthropy of private citizens
and the financial resources of the city.
Up to this time the development of zoolog-
ical gardens for American cities had been,
generally speaking, on an unsatisfactory
basis. No one had found the Aladdin's
lamp that could light the way to compre-
hei sive prosperity. The pay gardens Of
Philadelphia and Cincinnati existed on the
plan common throughout Europe; but their
