lacks the power OF concentration.
The effort is to make IL learn things
easily. and as an education cannot be
acquired that way. she thinks the
kindergarten unnecessary for children
whose home surroundings are what
they should be. For other children
she can see how the school would
awaken dormant faculties that their
lack OF proper environment would not
otherwise develop.

kissing the Book to Become Ihin9
OF the Past.
II the oaths bill is passed kissing
the Book" the present insanitary and
undignined form of oath taking. will
practically become a thing of the past
In England. Every witness will be
sworn with his hand uplifted. unless
he voluntarily objects to being sworn
in that fashion or is physically incapa-
BILE of so taking the oath.
The witnesses who will avail
themselves of their option to kiss
the Book" will be even less numerous
than thoes who have been accustomed
to exercise their right to be sworn
with uplifted hand The right has
not been exercised. our contemporary
adds, because the majority of wit
nesses, however, great their dislike to
the insanitary oath, have been unwill
ing to make themselves conspicuous
in court of justice by making an an
usual request.
With the abolition OF kissing the
Book" in England the insanitary oath
will practically disappear from the
civilized world.

CiGED AEIMaLS STILL EAT
Despite Wall at High Prices by Zoe
logical Curator In New Yerk's
Bronx Park

New York, n. ACCORDING TO Di-
rector Hornsdsy of the Geological
Gardens in Bronx Park. ii costs more
to FEED lion now than at any time
in the history of the gardens. II is
equally true OF nearly all the hoof
stock besides. for though hay and
grains have not been so high this
year rs last. the trend OF prices has
been upward and not down for three
or four years or the eighty-two vari-
eties Of food used. the greater proper
ton show an increase in cost. For the
eleven months ended on January 10,
1910. the total food expenditure for
all mammals. birds and reptiles,
amounted to S26.390.23. The entire
collection now includes 5.b2S living
things. More as an indication of the
growth since it's inception, in 1899,
than as an example OF the difference
in cost OF food will it be Of interest to
give the first ye.r's food expenditure.
In 1899 it was only $1,Si5.
But. as Director Ho"naday says. r
lion and a bear cat just as much when
prices are high as when low. So
does a hoppopotamus, but the latter,
in proportion. does not cost as much
as a lion or tiger. because the former
can be induced to eat most anything,
while the carnivorous animals stick
to a meat diet principally.
The issue OF the supplies from the
park steward, or cook" as be is call
ed. for the lion house in one day show
ed a total OF so pounds of meat This
commodity, according to MIR. Horna.
day. has taken another stride upward
in price in the last two weeks. OF
course. the manner of buying meat,
which is purchased by the ton, keeps
il lower than otherwise. but even at
that it costs two cents more a pound
now than it used to- The lion house
takes in besides the lions, tigers,
pumas. leopards and jaguars, the
greatest meat eating animals in the
park. A normal day, though, sees the
consumption by all meat eating ami.
mails of 3S7 pounds.
The eighty-two varieties of food on
the menu include everything from
puffed rice to horsehesh. The mon.
keys like eggs and condensed milk,
as well as apples and bananas In
one day the cook" issued twelve ap-
pies. eighty-hve bananas, eight loaves
of bread, four cans OF milk and thirty
two eggs to the primates. Is there
any wonder why the enthusiastic
youngsters who want to feed peanuts
indiscriminately each Sunday are for
hidden to do so?
It is when the elephant house is
reached that the daily stipend, especi-
ally in vegetables, reaches highwa-
( ter mark. This house takes in the
| "rhinos" and hippi, and the tapirs, be-
sides the three elephants. The cook
/ had to issue eighteen loaves of bread
sixteen quarts of carrots, dozen
heads of cabbage, many quarts Of po'
tatoes and a goodly portion OF fruit on
a normal day recently. That was
topped or with clover hay One
water soaked loaf OF bread for hip
popotamus with a dozen-loaf capacity
wouldn't be any more reasonable than
one frog for a snake with thirty-froG
capacity.

Kitto the master Of oriental learn

his father to take him out of the

II has been pointed out in more
than one scientific organ during he
comparatively few years that have
elapsed since the discovery OF the
radioactive elements how readily the
new knowledge lends itself to the be-
lief in an eternal hell OF fire and brim-
stone. To the lay mind. as a Paris
paper points out. hell is supposed to
be a scientific impossibility, whereas,
II has been made. on the contrary. a
physical and chemical fact The ply
sizes and the chemistry OF hell must
not be taken to demonstrate the h23i-
liability Of hell by the souls Of the
damned. The souls of the damned
may not be there, but the place exists
precisely where the scholastic theo-
logy places it-namely, In the center
Of the earth. In considering PROPOSE
ton. or rather a hypothesis, that hell
exists the scientist will differentiate
between the place. the ruler OF the
place, and the subjects under his
sway. In this order of ideas science
has to do only with the place, leaving
the devil and the damned out Of ae-
count altogether.-Current Literature.

the mention of the name Of Theodore

The address was delivered at the

Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Pinchot were
the chief speakers in a program which
Included happy address by Gov. A.

1t was an enthusiastic gathering,
and significant as pointing to the pur-
pose Of the affair, the name of Presi-
dent William H. Taft was not men
toned, although some indirect refer
ences made by the speakers might
have been aimed at the nations ex-
ecutive.
AnOtner S1gn1ncant feature or the
affair was that in opening his ad-
dress, Mr.. Pinchot pointedly said:
Il have been asked many ques-

sarily I am debarred from saying

have replied, I have nothing to

to the possible future of the former
president and was received with a
yell of applause.
