THE zoo BY NIGHT.
Cleaning Eyes In the BIaekness Give
 a Flavor of tho WiIds.

The average grownup who visits the zoo thinks 1t rather dull sort Of show, for the fact that the animals are captive robs them of all the romance that would attach to them in their na. tive forests.
 But let the blase sightseer obtain permission to visit the zoo at mid night, and his impressions will be very different. Darkness hides the bars and the boards, and the eyes of some wakeful creature gleam maliciously at you. For the moment you imagine that you are in the wilds, on equal terms with the creatures around.
 Poised on the swings and platforms at the top of their cages sleep the monkeys, instinct surviving their loss of freedom, for in the forests they had to sleep thus to avoid the beasts of prey.
 r Here rests a lioness, prone upon her back, her legs rigid in the air and her paws hanging Imply down. There re- clines her lord, asleep upon his side, his paws turned in and his general pose not unlike that of a dog.
 The more cunning and more coward ly of the animals do not seem to sleep at all, for as soon as they hear our ap- preaching footsteps they give us their greeting with snarls and malevolent glowerings and watch us suspiciously till we depart.-Pearson's. ..

 A dog owned by Joseph Goonan died from grief and a broken heart due to the death of his mistress some weeks ago. Inc dog, an intelligent one of a water spaniel breed, refused to eat after Mrs Goonan's body was taken from the house. It wandered from room to room looking in vain for it's mistress, and would notice none of the other members of the family. It finally weakened and died Saturday.

The CeceIian Waltz.

"From the English descriptions of the Cecelian waltz we judge" says a writ CT in a Berlin paper, that there will be a sixteen step prelude to the regu- lar waltz. that this introduction will have some of the old time minuet fea- lures and that when the waltz proper begins it will be something like the dance which was in vogue when we who are now middle aged and a little more were dancers. The fast and furi- ons waltz which came from the country where everything is rush is beloved by the young people only because they do not know the dance of their parents. It was this. the graceful. slow and dreamy, that made the dance a soulful pleasure. It was this real poetry of motion that inspired Tanner. Gungi and Strauss.

EXHAUST FOR MOTOR BOAT.
How II Can Be Arranged So as to Be
Practically NoiseIess.

Everyone who rides In a motor boat
will be indebted to the Motor Boat
magazine for suggesting this method
of abolislSlg the n%uisances of the eX-
haust. 1t Is simple enough-when you
know how. Run the exhaust pipe over
board at a point one-half foot above
water line, and there screw on an
ordinary elbow, leaving it free to turn.
Into the elbow screw solldly four feet
of l1a-inch pipe, and to this attach a
wire or cGyd by which the end may
be held W out of the water. Now,
with a little practice, you can master
the problem of a noiseless, odorless,
heatless, sprayless exhaust,
With the hinged pipe drawn up out
of the water, start your engine. AS
soon as the boat gains Roadway drop
the pipe in, and you will be delighted
to discover that your boat is actually
going faster and your engine running
freer, and without noise or smell.
The reason Is evident. The water
rushing past the open end of the pipe
PRODUCES a suction which makes the
exhaust more perfect, emptying the
cylinder of all exploded gas after each
stroke of the piston, so that the next
explosion has full effect. On account
of varying speed at different times a
little experimenting may be necessary
in order to find just the right depth to
which the pipe end should be dropped,
The acuum may be still further in
creased, If desired.

Brunettes are wise II they adhere to
soft ivory shades and eschew pure
whites. A brilliant complexion, coupled
with dark brown hair and eyes, can

at is impossible Il me to describe
for you the sufferings Of that terrible
night. We gathered such stones as
we could find on the narrow mountain

the last morsel Of food. We had al.
ready drunk our tea. We huddled
close to each other for warmth. We
shivered, not for moments, but for Is
minutes at a time, Every now and
then we chafed each others hands to
prevent their being f%rost-bitten. But

terror of the mountains, the awful
loneliness, the stiffness. the sense OF

our helplessness was made the more
pitiable because at our feet we could
see the lights of the village.
