circled and circled about wooden box
that floated on the lake in Central park
today. Believing some kindly person
had put food In the bog for the birds,
the crowds that were out in rowboats
did not disturb the graceful water
fowl.
For hours the box drifted about with
the currents Of the lake, always ac-
companied by'its escort of birds. Then
Thomas Donahue, who has charge of
the park water fowl, observed the
strange action of his pets and got a
rowboat.
Donahue overlook the box twenty
feet from the shore on that part of the
lake opposite West Seventy-seventfi

the body of a baby, about 1 week old.
The body was taken to the Arsenal

the child had been dead two days.
