fierce creatures Of the jungle enjoying
kind Of half liberty. no longer con-
fined in small cages, but allowed to
move about freely in large, rock-bound
spaces that admirably represent the
dens and caverns of their native
wilds.
The caverns are built In rows OF
hills that rise In precipitous crags to
heights of a hundred feet or more,
and spread to a considerable width at
their bases. Against the verdure Of
the park they stand out boldly. their
sides fashioned roughly into caverns

camels, antelopes. etc, their depths
pierced by doors and passages for at

say, these hills are made of artificial
rock. but SO cleverly has the work
been done, and so skillfully have the
surfaces been marked and veined and
colored (by the use of various ce-
ments), that geologist himself might
be deceived; and in the manner OF
hardness and durability this artificial
rock is in no way inferior to the nat
ural product.-Metropolit Magazine.

To make ordinary paper initiate
parchment soak It in basin OF water
mixed with sulphuric acid In the pro-
portion of one to ten parts. Let 1t
become thoroughly saturated. then re-
move gently and let dry. The paper
should be strong unlined foolscap.
To oil paper. brush It with boiled
oil and hang upon line until dry. It
is best to do large sheets of paper at
