CURIOSITY, NOT SCIENCE,
is FOUNDATION OF THE
BIG GEOLOGICAL GARDENS

CHICAGO, June 24.-That idle
curiosity, and not science, is re-
sponsib1e for geological gardens
throughout the country, is the
opinion of John Burroughs, the
naturalist, today. After visit
to the homes of the larger beasts
at Lincoln park, he said:
There is really no legitimate
excuse for keeping these poor
children of the wild in captivity.
IF were the absolute ruler of
this country, every one of these
animals would be turned back in
to the woods and fields. / do not
know why we need geological gar
dens. If we must keep animals
for curiosity they should be turn
ed loose in large natural parks,
where they can be free and live
the lives intended for them by
nature.
Nobody gets any good from
Gagged animals. They are only
objects of idle curiosity"
