Prof Zueblin's advice given the 9TH
er day 10 the City club was TO the
point. comprehensive dealing with
the transportation problem of Boston
is needed The inadequacy of the ex-
listing services is apparent on every
hand There are many weak points
which should be relieved, and many de-
ficiencies which should be supplied.
But patching the system will not pro-
duce the desired results. Economy
and the best service demand that what
ever is done shall be the working out
of well considered plan for co-ordin-
ating the various forms of transporta-
tion service. The linking up of ex-
listing lines-electric and steam
would of itself be an important be-
ginning for such work. There has
been presented the comprehensive
study OF the urban transportation sys-
TEN for which Prof Zueblin asserts
the need. The practical ways in which
the lines can be linked up have been
shown the present routes and equip
ment made of greater value, and eX-
tensions effected with minimum OF
expense and maximum of service.
This plan is available for Legislators,
state commissions, railroads and ciu-
zens. IL gives a basis for a construc-
tive policy of transportation improve
ment Complaint and criticism OF ex-
listing service will amount TO little in
themselves. Somebody must take ac-
tion on the lines indicated If there is
TO be any result worth while.
From the ragged and snow-capped
SUBMITS of the Rocky Mountains, in
the northwestern wilds of Montana,
there recently arrived at the rooms OF
the Boston Society of Natural History
two groups Of the finest specimens OF
the mountain sheep and mountain goat
ever taken.
The strange animals were brought
down by the bullets of Mannlicher.
in the hands of DR. John c. Phillips,
who, accompanied by G. Emerson
Brown, an expert taxidermist, organ
lied the expedition that Boston might
have the collection.
Although the specimens secured are
by no means scarce, 1t was no easy
matter TO obtain them. because the
mountain sheep and goats inhabit the
rocky lodges far above the timber line,
and when startled instantly fleet up
the almost perpendicular sides OF the
mountain.
In 10 minutes either the sheep or
the goat will cover a distance that
will take their pursuers three hours TO
cover. The peculiar hollow formation
of the hoofs enables the fleetfooted
animals TO obtain a foothold on mar
row lodges and precipitous crags.
That the groups when mounted
might be true to life and appear just
as they did when at home on the very
tops of the Rockies, DR.. Phillips
brought east with him a quantity of
the rock and slate upon which the
mountain goat makes its home. This
has been copied by Mr.. Brown AMI
with the animals scattered about IN
characteristic poses presents a life
like spectacle
The new exhibit OF mountain goats
at the natural history rooms consists
OF three males, one female, and one
young. The group is an almost exact
reproduction Of photograph obtained
by Mr.. Brown.
In the inclosure adjoining that of
the mountain goats family OF noun
tain sheep are grouped The latter
consists of a ram, one female and one
young. Their color is buff, except for
a white patch on the flank. The ram
mounted at the rooms Of the Boston
society has curved horns measuring 81
inches from tip TO base.
