creatures used to unlimited spaces and
plenty Of exercise. Medical books telling
what measures should be taken to pre-
vent tigers from having indigestion and
elephants from having sore feet are upon
the shelves of the libraries in the larger
geological gardens. One OF the larger
animals that fares worst in small spaces
Is the American buffalo Although no
scientist has been able to explain 1t, ex-
perience shows that when a herd Of these
animals is inclosed in a space which does
not give them the freedom 70 which they
have been accustomed. there results a
high percentage Of male calves Another
popularity is that the young buffaiOes
are frequently not hardy. Upon a large
range the bufalces breed as readily as
cattle, and as they are not particularly
wild or shy, biologists can find no theory
by which to account for the peculiar re-
suits experienced in breeding them.

animals are now presented 10 sightseers

tablished in Berlin by Carl Hagenbeck.
By clever landscape gardening he has re
produced the jungle. mountains. plains.

are found. Between the spaces allotted 10

are no visible Enclosures. Each space is
bounded by a deep ditch so concealed by
shrubs that 1t is not visible TO the visitor.
