feet in height, and looking for all the
world like miniature Alps.
From this point some 600 animals
and birds can be seen at one time with
out detecting a cage or an iron bar.
Naturally, the animals seen to the
very rear ofsthis spectacle are rather
indistinct. But intersecting paths al

them, and by following these paths
one learns, through the explanation OF
the proprietor, the method that has
been adopted in laying out these Won
derful gardens. In a word the ami
mails are confined to their respective
Enclosures by means of deep bitches
and other cunningly devised arrange
ments which the public cannot detect.
The lions quarters are a case in
point First of all comes the public
lootpath. Immediately in front Of this
is narrow strip of garden full OF
semi-tropical shrubs and plants. Look
ing over these you get an uninterrupt
ed view of lions and tigers only 80
feet away. But the animals cannot
get loose, a deep ditch, half full Of
water being concealed between the
narrow garden-strip and their den.
Visitors ask so many questions about
this ditch, which is hidden from their

the proprietor has now erected turn
stile and for a small fee one can pass
right to its edge at one corner of the
den. The Enclosure is a very spacious
one, measuring 60 feet long by As feet
broad. AS one gazes at the big cats
one can almost imagine it is an In
dian jungle scene, so natural are the
surroundings. -.
Above the lion-house Mr.. Hagenbeck
is now placing a number of the larger
birds, such as vultures, eagles and
owls. They have each little rock
shelters in which they can retire, and
are kept in captivity by long, thin
steel chains attached to their legs.
Slightly to the left of the Enclosure

quarters of a number of Arctic ami.

lions, penguins, gulls, etc. Just above
them are some fine polar bears. They

mediate left may be seen reindeer and
other animals from the Arctic regions.
The whole structure is so designed
that it can be assembled on one side
by means of a winding stairway and
descended on the other by toboggan-
ing side. From the summit one gets a
magnificent view of the gardens and
the distant port of Hamburg.
1t is in this portion of the grounds
that we find the observation-disclosures,
the finest ever erected in
any public geological gardens. The
two main dlning-rooms can seat at one
time 700 persons, and the walls are
decorated with a collection of horns,
heads. and antlers valued at over
$4,000. There are also a number Of
private dining-room suites for parties,
many Of them very deliberately fur
nished. The restaurant faces the ami
mails.

Soon it is to be hoped that the old
fashioned ZOO will be a thing of the
past.
No man is a better authority on
geological gardens than Mr.. Carl
Hagenbeck of Hamburg. At his ami
NAL park at Stellingen, pretty little
suburb of the German shipping port,
you can now inspect a zoo unlike any
thing else of its kind in the world.
Geological experts who have visited
it declare that the zoos of the future
will be erected on this plan. Already
the enterprising Japanese are build
ing one after Mr.. Hagenbeck's design.
1t was the writer's privilege to in
spect this much-discussed zoo recent
ly. The gardens occupy some SO acres
of ground, and in size, therefore, are
slightly larger than those at Regents
park, London. Moreover, so popular
has the zoo become that arrangements
are now being made to add an addi-
tional 26 acres ~ the park. But the
garden is unique for the daring man
ner in which wild animals are pre-
scented to public view. Entering the
zoo by the main gates-an elaborate
structural device ornamented with
bronze figures of men and animals
one passes down a shaded walk. Just
as you begin to wonder where the ami
mails are housed, there bursts upon
you a spectacle of animal life the like
of which can be seen nowhere else in
the world.
Immediately in front of you is a
spacious lake on which waterfowl
congregate. Behind them, on slightly
raised ground, are scores Of hoofed
animals, such as zebras, camels,
dromedaries, wild horses, wild asses,
yaks, alpacas, etc. At the extreme
ends Of their Enclosures are artistical-
ly conceived cave-like shelters, into
which the animals can retire in bad
or out Of the heat OF the sun.
Behind these again, at a slightly high
er elevation, come the quarters for the
big cats, while Immediately behind
these rises a ridge of mountains on
which you observe ibex, mountain
sheep, and goats. There are nine dis
tipct peaks towering from go to 16o

1t has been said that man may be
known by the company he keeps; he may
be known by his habits, by his speech, tone
of voice, step, walk, cast Of eye, by the way
he stands. Indeed every physical trick and
popularity tells tales of the man inside,
the man back of the peculiarly. Per-
sonality is summed up mostly when one has
tabulated and catalogued the sum total of
all mans outward and visible habitudes.
