Bronx Park Attendants Have
Thrilling Time Bagging the
Liberated Snakes.
LUNA SUDDENLY HEARS
THE CALL OF THE WILD
Breaks Big Chains with Which
She Was ShaCkIed and
Trees Trap Her.
Especial to the Evening star.l

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The call Of
the wild was heard early today by
Luna, a big elephant in Bronx Park,
and in her furious haste to answer she
wrecked the magnificent new snake
house, overturned nearly every cage
and tank, Iiberating the occupants,
many of whom crawled to freedom, and
created a panic among the pumas, lions
and tigers of the menagerie.
She was finally captured between two
trees after she had charged from one
end of the enclosure to the other, was
made fast to shackles and held a pris-
oners by q score of keepers with pitch
forks and spikes. Sweets were used
to calm her.
The big snakes that escaped, many
of whom crush their prey in their
coils, were nearly all recovered by at
tendants, who picked them up and put
them in bags, but several are known
to be missing.
After Luna was tied down she ON
tinued to struggle and trumpet, while
the other animals in the big menagerie
paced their cage uneasily. Occasion
ally the angry roar of a lion or q tiger
added to her rage Director Hornaday
said that she would be tied down until
she was quiet.

Old Tars Testing Natures Teeth and "Boughten' Ones.

they were better and stronger than the
grown" teeth.
Both old tars took apples and started
the test of real versus store teeth. The
sets of nature and art withstood the
test, and also the hard tack test, and
then came the break in the friendship
of many years. Cap'n Ira produced =
"lolly pop n bit into it with gusto.
Then Cap'n Obadiah bit into it with
equal vim, but the store teeth stayed
in the treacherous sticky candy and
when he withdrew it from his mouth
his upper jaw was stripped of its arti-
fetal molar adornment.
He attempted to say things to his
old friend, but the lack of teeth ren-
dered his choice and seamanlike re-
marks like unto the mutterings of a
bear. With sorrow Cap'n Ira lis
tened. The indignity of having lost
his teeth, the argument and then to
be viliied when he could not make his
own remayks ineligible, was too much
for Cap'n' Obadiah, and with dignity
he left the deck of the Mary Jane and
today he is tuning in his own domain.

BIG FALLING OFF
Of IMMIGRATION
TO UNITED STATES
Decrease Most Notable in the
Arrivals from Italy and
Russia.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Secretary
Straus, of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, has called attention
to the fact that an enormous fall
ing off in immigration has recently
taken place. He says the advance
figures taken from the bulletin shortly
to be issued shows the decrease as fol-
lows:
1.-THE total immigration for the month
of August, 1908. was but 27,782, as COM
pared with 9S,S25 for the same month
of last year, showing a decrease of
1,043. immigration for the twelve
months ending July 1, 1908, showed a
net increase in the population of the
United States of but 209, 1907. The inn
migration from Russia, one of the
countries from which there has been
usually the largest flow, was 5,194 for
August, 1908, as against 21,649 for the
same month of 1907.
Both immigration and emigration
statistics are available as late as the
month of June, 1908. The immigration
from Russia and Finland for that
month was $3.50, and the emigration
of persons returning to these countries,
5,573, a net increase of 707 to the popu-
lation Of the United States. For Italy,
another country supplying many i'm
migrants, the immigration for June,
1908, was 3,226, as against 1853 for
June, 1907, or a loss to the population
of 1891"

PLANS MADE FOR
MORE SCHOOL ROOM.

Plans for additions to three school
houses were presented to the building,
grounds n supplies committee OF the
Board of Education by School Archi-
tect Ernest F. Guilbert last night. The
plans were for a nine-room addition
to the Fourteenth Avenue School, and
tentative plans for Morton Street and
Lafayette Street additions. After con-
graduating Mr.. Guilbert the commit
tee instructed him to proceed with
plans and specifications.
The Browe Company decided to ac-
cept $3,2s1 as pay for its work in in
stalling lighting fixtures in the four
schools they had contracted for. This
figure was fixed after a test by school
engineer George w Knight. The adop-
ton of the idea of Engineer Knight
will result in saving $2.700 for fixtures
in six schools.

Story Of a Test Against Natures
MOlars That Ended in
Disaster.

In the sluggish swell of the Passaic
river the good sloop Mary Jane is rub
bling the paint off her bows against the
unsympathetic piers of the Electric
Light dock, but Cap'n Ira Sacks, of
Bangor, Me, sits not as of yore on her
deck in calm peace with the world. He
trod her well-worn deck thinking, for
the shadows are falling, and in the
twilight it is hard to lose a friend that
has been by your side during the day
of life.
Across the river, another sloop, alike
as two peas to the Mary Jane, swings
sullenly on her anchor rope. On her
deck there is also a man, like Cap'n
Ira, bent and gnarled with the storms
of many winters, but withal fought
and seamanlike. Sorrow does not chain
him, but red anger his heart.
The personification of rage is Cap'n
Obadiah Emerson, man and boy bosom
friend of Cap'n Ira, and, after fifty
years Of loving like brothers, the sharp
edge of a set Of false teeth has severed
their friendship.
The vicissitude of time and bareback
long ago wore out the upper molars in
the vigorous jaw of Cap'n Obadiah, and
several years ago, when both sloops
sailed up Newark bay together, as they
had done for years, the captain left
both in charge of Cap'n Ira, and, COM
ing to Broad street, got fitted for a set
o. store teeth.
Cap'n Ira maintained that "boughten''
teeth should be arranged in the mouth
by a series of complicated wires that
would prevent the comingo out or slipping
down the "wearer's" throat. Cap'n
Obadiah, with great heat, maintained
that they stayed in his mouth 'llke
they grew there" and averred that
