julie, in New York Zoo, Turns
on Spigot When Thirsty

NEW YORK, March 24-Drinking
by direct connection with the Croton
supply was accomplished by julie. cul-
tured and now highly irrigated elephant
in Central park. She is able to turn on
the water of a hydrant near her pen
and turn it of without the slightest as
sistance from the keepers, and so en-
thusiastic was she over this triumph
of ingenuity that before night she was
listing heavily 10 starboard.
The advantage of the present plan is
that If the city were inclined to be par
simoniouS II would be hard TO tell lust
how much water the intelligent animal
drinks unless meter was set in her
trunk.
The hydrant outside of Jules cage
had a round handle. but one OF the or
binary T shape was installed. and also
new spigot. julie studied the innova-
tion with care and finally after much
fumbling turned it with her trunk and
induced a flow of water. She placed
her trunk under the stream and drank
a copious draught. When she had had
a substantial drink she turned of the
water and returned to the nunching OF
hay.

 He was met at the railroad station with bands playing See, the Conquering Hero Comes" and the mayor in his robes of office extended him a welcome. A pro- cession of carriages with Binn's in the lead and headed by the bands then made triumphal progress through cheering crowds from the station to the Guild hall. The Guild hall was packed with the lead ing citizens of Peterborough, and all rose and cheered wildly when Binns, his sweetheart on his arms, entered. The mayor made a hearty speech of welcome. In a few modest words Binns then thanked the mayor for the welcome ex- tended him. and said that he had only done his duty, while the men of the en- zine room had risked their lives by re- maininR below

 In giving voice to the hope that the vast empire over which your majestfes rule may continue to prosper and flourish, I pledge this glass to the health of your majesty and the Queen"

 With regard to the aim and desired re- suit of my visit, your majesty has given eloquent expression to my own feelings, and l can therefore only repeat that our coming Is for the purpose not only of re- calling before the world the close ties of relationship between our two houses but also aims at strengthening the friendly relations between our countries and thus at the preservation of a general peace to- ward which all my efforts are directed"
