Restless Animals

When you see the animals in the park menageries pacing back and forth restlessly in their cages. do not take it for granted that the creatures are un happy or even discontented. It may be that the lion or the tiger or the polar bear that moves about with apparently ceaseless activity is only taking his daily exercise. without which he would pine and die soon. When the wild creatures are in their native juDgles they are kept pretty busy hunting food. Thus each day they walk many miles perhaps In their narrow cages in the parks they are plentifully supplied with food. but their brawny bodies still demand a great amount of exercise. Nile after mile Is paced of daily by the uneasy creatures. Usually they move with long. swinging stride, but when mealtime comes around then the step quickens until when the keeper appears with his baskets of meat the tigers and lions and other animals leap against their bars and growl and whine and lash their tails. In fact. they act like great hungry boys do after long days tramp If they find that supper Is late

Fish as They Bite,

"If you will take the time to investi- gate" said an old time angler who has observed as he fished. you will find that the full stomached trout in your catch will outnumber the empty stOm- ached ones ten to one. This would seem to indicate that 1t Is the trout which has already dined well that is eager for more. while the one which has not dined at all regards 1t with in- difference. In other words. 1t Is the satiated trout that bites and the hun gry one that doesn't-paradoxfcai prop osition And this odd circumstance Is not confined 10 brook trout. Pickerel not only swollen with food. but having the tails of fish they have since caught protruding from their mouths because there is as yet no room for the newly taken victims in the capacious pickerel nav. will yet voraciousIy seize the tempting live bait of the fisherman. as any angler who has fshed much for pickerel has doubtless had frequent proof."-New York Sun.
