AT THE NATIONAL ZOO
INCIDENTS OF INTEREST SEW
ERAL RECENT ADDITIONS.

Incidents OF general interest occasionally
happen at the National geological Park.
Two recent happenings were related to
Star reporter last evening by one OF the
officials there. He told of the capture OF
wild raccoon in steel trap near the wired

birds are kept. 1t appears that several OF
the birds had been killed by depredating
wild animals that invaded the park under
cover of darkness. The authorities did not
know whether the depredators were foxes.
'possums coons or what not. SO traps were
set with the result that the raccoon was
captured several mornings ago. The traps
are still kept ready for action for any other
midnight providers that may seek to climb
over the wire enclosure.
After the recent heavy rain, when Rock
creek was high and the water was run
ming wildly down stream, one OF the at
taches Of the zoo observed strange AMI
NAL coming from the banks OF the creek
carrying a smaller animal In Its mouth. Inc
small animal was carried short distance
from the creek and deposited on the
greensward and the larger animal returned
to the brink OF the creek and soon returned
dragging along another smaller one, which
was carried still further from the creek
and deposited on the ground. This con-
tinued until three of the smaller animals
had been carried q safe distance from the
swollen stream.
The attache then discovered that the
larger animal was a mother mink, and
wild one, and that she was taking her
young to place of safety, fearing, no
doubt they would be carried away by the
rushing waters. The mother mink con-
tinued to carry her young ones In ner
mouth by relays until she finally deposited
them in a lot Of brush that the beavers
had heaped UP near their dam.
Mink Family Not Disturbed.
The mink family was not disturbed by
the zoo people and the mother successfully
reared her young with the beavers. F1nal-
ly when the trio Of young had reached the
proper age they all plunged into ROCK creek
and proceeded to fields and pastures new
It is recalled by old inhabitants that
mink as well as muslkrats at one time
were numerous along the banks OF ROCK
creek, and that 1t was considered INIT sport
to go mink and muskrat hunting. the
growth Of the city and its extension north
westward finally drove the animals away
and they are now quite scarce. WITHIN the
borders OF the District.
The infant class at the zoo has received
several recent additions, including two Dapy
deer born In the park. The mother deer
is from Cuba, while the father was brought
from Panama by the marine guard that
performed duty in the canal zone. Inc
newcomers include male tapir born re-
Gently, the mother being from the zpologi-
cal gardens at Demerara. South America
The father was procured by Commander
Todd, u g. NJ, while on his voyage up
the Amazon in 1899, and given by him to
the National Zoo.
Late receipts at the park include three
young blue jays from Virginia, two
woodchuck from Wisconsin and another
pair of Indian white cranes.

Minor Strikes OF Brichlayers.

1t is reported that several minor strikes
Of bricl<layers may develop this week owing
to the situation Of the locked-out plumbers.
These small strikes should they take place,
will be sympathetic in their nature and will
occur on buildings on which non-union
plumbers are put to work. u Is said that
should the non-union plumbers be employed
on structures where union bricklayers are
working. the latter will walk out and re-
main out until the non-unionists are dis
placed. It was also stated that there have
already been several such walk-outs recent
ly. 1t is declared that should any consider
able number of non-union plumbers be put
to work on structures in course of con-
saruction building operations would be
seriously retarded.
