roar a huge lioness sprang at the
man. Thursting her paw through the
iron bars she caught Rosce and drew
him up against the cage. He was I'M

beast attacked him.
Roses screams brought a half doz-

fire on the lions. One of them was
shot three times and another twice.

Practically all the flesh was torn off
Roses arm, and the bones were

kill the lions, but he was persuaded
not to do so.

New York, March 11.-That the prevail
ing tendency of feminine headgear may
actually result in revolutioniZing church
architecture ridiculous as the possibility
may sound, is the bewildering fact dem
onstrated by the plans now under consid-
Grafton for the 100000 worth Of churches
which are to be erected here this year.
Just how this result as come about IS
indicated in the plans which are being
prepared for one of the new edifices. In
stead of the ordinary level floor SO long
used, these plans propose slanting floor.
as in theatre. 1t Is admitted, moreover.
that the reason for this innovation is the
present size of feminine hats which. when
the floor is level, render it impossible for
the majority of the congregation to see
the occupant of the pulpit. Just what
the angle of inclination shall be, however
is a matter which is causing considerable
discussion. Milliners advocate a slope as
sharp as that usually found in the bal
cony of theatres, basing their judgment
particularly on the new style of "chanti-
cleer'' hats. Other persons hold out for
a less pronounced Stops, but one and all
agree that it is impossible to get the fem
mime portion OF congregation TO remove
it's headgear in church and that as a re-
suit some change must be made. How
ever. if new style is church architec-
ture is to come, New York seems to be its
logical birthplace, not only because it
sets the fashion in so many fields, but be-
cause it undoubtedly numbers more
churches than any other city in the
country if not in the world. According
to the latest figures. there are now 1869
churches and cathedrals in the greater
city. representing over twenty-five de-
nominations. Brooklyn in spite of its
name of the City of Churches has con-
siderably less than half. its share being
4S4 as compared to 5S5 in Manhattan and
the Bronx. But in spite of the great
number of these structures In the greater
city, they average less than one to each
1000 residents and even though only one
person in ten attends church it is appar
ent that those VINO propose to revOlu
tionize church architecture by installing
sloping floors have good reasons for do
ing so.

In spite of the general opinion that the
streets of New York are practically tree
less-an opinion as common among resi-
dents of this city as among visitors-fig-
ures just collected show that this is far
from being the case. Indeed the trees
along the thoroughfares, were they all
gathered together would form very re-
spectacle little forest. for according to
the latest ''tree census" of the Park De-
partment they number 1,234.0OO Planted
in single line twenty feet apart. these
trees would form a grove over 45DO miles
in length. or sufficient to reach from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and half way
back again. On the same basis of COM
putation they would form forest COW
ering over 1900 acres or 10 square miles.
Father Knickerbocker has apparently
been conserving his forests. and that too
for a considerable number of years. as Is
indicated by the trees dating back to the
early history of the city. Near Fordham
Square is Stenton willow said to be over
800 years old, and at the foot of Cypress
Street, on what was once part of the
Gouverneur Morris estate are the two
largest expresses in the country. In
front of the Columbia University Libra
ry are two English yews which were
brought from England in 1900 and set cut
in st. Johns Park. Later they were
moved to Fiftieth Street and so recently
as 1897, when well over one hundred years
old. they were transplanted to their pres
ent location. Thus 1t appears that New
York can claim distinction not only for
the number of its trees but for the his
torical interest of many of them as we'll.
