A GREAT GEOLOGICAL PARK.
New York's Remarkable Collection Of
Animals.
(Scientlfc ln2eric0n.l

NA''1C t|CsfS'J
The New York Geological Park, with its
bwo hundred and sixty-four acres marvel
0usly fashioned by Nature for al Ideal ami
NAL museum, presents for the instruction
and amusement Of New York the greatest
living assemblage of mammals, birds and
reptiles to be seem in any single spot ID the
world. This remarkable exposition contains
over 5000 living wild creatures, kept tOgeth-
OF in comfortable captivity, skilfully fed and
tended, and nearly all strikingly exhibited
in open air Enclosures,
Through Director w. T. Hornaday the
Geological Society of New York has secured
from the iungles, deserts, forests, and noun
tains of the world, their rarest aud most re-
markable living animal treasures, in order
that the millions may know them by person
al acquaintance, and appreciate the marvels
of the animal kingdom.
That the people of New York appreciate
the effort made by the society is shown by
the attendance of visitors at the park during
the last year, which by actual %turnstIle re-
cord rose to 1,614,9 53. To make q park and
collection worthy of the fauna of all the con
tinents of the globe, and also worthy OF the
metropolis of the new world, has been q gi-
gnntic task but thanks to the wise and en-
ergetic work of Director Hornaday, and the
RUl(ldIlC6 anu CO-OlCLuCiOA VI b'S IN
nnd members of the Geological Society, the
park, after three years of planning and
eleven years of very strenuous work, is now
practically complete. OF course, this does
not mean that nothing more will ever be
added, or that in the future no more improve
ments will be necessary.
In November, 1889, the park (Which never
has been closely was first opened to the gen
eral public. The original impulse and effort
for the creation Of the New York Geological
Society came from Mr.. Madison Grant, now
the secretary and chairman of the executive
committee, then a sportsman, student of ma
ture, aud by profession q lawyer, Fortu-
nately very early in its career, the new orga-
~nization secured the active support of Prof
Henry Fairfield Osborn, now the president
Of the society. It is impossible to overstate
the influence of these two men on the socle-
tvs undertaking and success. Their efforts
to establish the park, add to its beauty, and
to advance its interest and reputation, afford
fine examples of civic devotion and loyalty.
Without them, New York would not have
ut this time a geological park.
In it's large and ideal grounds, its bulld-
ings and outdoor dispositions for animals
and in the scientific value Of it's collections,
she New York Geological Park is to-day one
of the foremost institutions of its kind I'D
the world. It is no exaggeration to say that
it is in a class by itself. The recent elabo-
rate official report of DR., Gustave Lolsel to
the French Government has enabled the
public to know the relative standing
and merits of the geological gardens.
and parks of the world. The New
York Geological Park, with it's $3.50 living
specimens, has first rank Berlin, with
, 1911-02-01

3,149, second and London, with 1872,
third. The Geological Socieiy has expended
on the park and its animals about SAFE, 600,
and on the buildings and other ground
improvements" the city has expended q little
more than $4,000, 900. All the animals of
the Geological Park are the prop erty of the
Geological Society, having been presented
by it's members or purchased out of the
profits of the privilege business created by
the society, under the authority of its con-
tract with the city.
A Wonderful Array of Animlls,
OF the great array of noteworthy NAM
mails, birds, and reptiles at present on ex-
hibition in the park, many pages, or even
q whole volume, would be needed to convey
% fair impression of them. The collections
have been formed strictly on scientific lines.
Through the courtesy of Prof. Henry Fair
field Osborn, president of the society, the
writer Was afforded opportunities of secur-
ing some close range photographs for the
ptges of the Scientific American, showing a
number of the most rare and interesting
animals and large birds.
The collections of birds are fnirly b8wil-
dering in their variety of species ond gene
rnl geological richness. Over three thou.
sand individuals, representing hundreds of
5ItC16SJ SdOL10IS(l 4IOIA IL 0O dI1G6I6DU
localities, are exhibited. The collection con-
tains such feathered %rarities as the Califor-
MIA condor, happy eagle, Bateleur eagle,
trumpeter swan, whooping crane, sun Bit
tern, seriema, South American trumpeter,
gyrfalcon, sea eagle, yellow -necked cassOwa-
yy, hyscinthine macaw, black cockatoo, black
backed pelican, ptarmigan, and a hundred
smaller varieties, making its scientific value
beyond question.
Among the latest arrivals are three great
er birds of Paradise, from Aru Island, New
Guinea, being the first live specimens ever
pluced on exhibition by an American iusti-
tuition.
The mammoth Flying Cage is one Of the
wonders of the park It represents an at
tempt to do FOR certain large water birds
what has been done for the ho0fed ami
mals and other species that is, to give them
a section of Natures own domain. Ia this
huge cage they can fly to and fro, build
nests, and rear their young in real freedom.
The cage is q summer home of a mixed flock
Of large and snowy water birds. such as
herons, egrets, hamingoes, Pelicans, and 9TH
ers. 1t is f~fty-fve feet i'll height, seventy
five feet wide, and one hundred and fifty
two feet long. 1t completely e%ncloses three
forest trees of very considerable size, and
contains a deep pool of water q hundred feet
long.
Among the large and rare birds of the
Ostrich House is the picturesque emu from
Australia, now almost extinct. and next to
the ostrich the largest Of existing birds.
There are three species of ostriches and four
of cassowaries.
OF reptiles, 1869 in all, in charge of Gu
rator Raymond L. Ditmars, the collection is
very comprehensive. 1t contains king cobra,
specialized cobra, bushmaster, fer de lance,
puff adder, five species of rattle-snakes, five
species of crocodilians, and pythons, boas,
anacoudas, small serpents, ~iguanas, turtles,
tortoises, terrapins, and amphibians, in great
variety.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.

ST. Kits Daily Express, 81 Dec)
An earthquake occurred here just after
IL o'clock on the night of the Oath instant.
In fact many persons say there were two dis
tiuct shocks following each other with a bare
interval between. The shakeup, which was APP
pearently from west to east, was sufficiently
strong to topple articles from shelves and
tables.
A correspondent at the island of st. Mar
fin, writing to us on Christmas Day, says
'Last night, at five minutes past IL O'Clock,
two very severe shocks Of earthquake were
felt here-one Immediately after the other,
Very few among the inhabitants, if any, have
ever experienced such severe ones"

The county board was deprived OF
the services of two good and capable
men. when F. A. Green and John A.
Serum retired from that body. Mr..
Green was a farseeing, public spirit
ed and enterprising man, whose long
and varied experience in public al
fairs, has been very valuable to the
county, Mr.. Serum also has been a
conscientious, energetic and alert
public official, who has we'll looked al
ter the needs of the eastern part OF
the county and also guarded the
rights and interests Of the people i'll
the whole county. The salary which
a county commissioner receives is far
from adequate, and both Mr.. Solum
and Mr.. Green are no doubt money
out on account of serving on the coun-
ty board. Often they have been
obliged to attend board or ditch meet
ings when their own interests would
have been best served by staying at
home. The people Of each OF these
districts should remember the faith
full service rendered by the two retir.
ing commissioners, Mr.. Green and Mr..

According to the records OF the
Moorhead weather station the tota
rainfall of the past year, which in
cludes snow reduced to water meas
urementes, was l4.49 inches less than
the normal for 80 years. This, Of
course, is the record at Moorhead
The figures for other localities will
vary somewhat from this, as local
rains fell here and there and missed
other places entirely. But, generally
speaking it is safe to say that the
shortage during the year was over a
foot of rain. And the marvellous
thing is that some crops actually
grew, and more than that, where the
culture was of a nature to conserve
the moisture that was actually con
tanned in the ground, the crops were
good The experience of the past
year is not likely to be repeated for
many years, but it is thing to re-
member, and too much emphasis can
not be placed on the fact that with
the remarkably light rainfall, the
state of North Dakota pulled through
in good shape. and it was demon
strated that such weather conditions
as prevailed last year need not be
feared by our people. The chances
are that before we have such another
year, methods of farming will have so
improved that such good crops as
were raised in many sections will
then be the common thing, even with
as little rain as we had in the season
of 1910.-Grand Forks Herald.

Farmers Short Course

Much interest is reported, in all
parts of the state in the Farmers
Short Course" to be given at the
School of Agriculture in st. Paul,
commencing Jan. -, 1911 Prepare
lions are being made to take care, in
dining-hall as we'll as in classroom, of
as many mature farmer students as
may desire to avail themselves of the
advantages of this fourweeks' course.
The classes will be combined for the
morning lectures, and divided into
sections for the afternoon practical
work, which will be given simultane-
ously on various farm and home top
les, in several rooms. For the eve
ming lectures, all will again gather in
the large Assembly Hall. where they
will have the satisfaction of listening
to a series of addresses by distin-
guished specialists from the Expert
1nent Stations of different states and
from the Department of Agriculture
at Washington. Besides these, some
entertaining speakers will be heard
on topics of general interest.
The date fixed for the opening of
the Course follows the week of the
meeting of the State Agricultural So
ciety, of the Minnesota Field Crop
Breeders Association, and of the Min
nesota Live Stock Breeders Associa-
ton, thus enabling farmers to take in
all four events at the cost of one
round-trip ticket to the Twin Cities.

chanaina Seed

The records of the Experiment sta.
lions do not show necessity for
changing seed grains to produce good
and satisfactory yields. On the con-
trary, these records show that as a
new seed becomes adapted to To-
cality and it's environments, the yield
has increased, with a tendency to i'm.
provement in quality. These results
have been attained by careful clean
ing and grading each year. More
than thousand varieties of grains
have been tested at the Minnesota
Station and it has become matter Of
common observation that new varie-
f, ties from distant sources seldom gain
satisfactory results until they become
well acclimated."
Observation and experiment furth-
er show that the degeneration of va
rieties-or the so-called running out"
results from careless selection of
seed and poor tillage rather than from
natural causes The Minnesota
Station would reserve the best field
of grain on the farm, or the best piece
Of that field, for seed plot, and seek
by the use Of the tanning mill and
grader, to increase the yield and
make the variety already grown more
valuable to the locality.

A summer School Of Agriculture"
les to be held at the School Of Agri-
culture, st. Anthony Park, st. Paul.
commencing June 10, 1911 and contin-

State Summer School for Teachers"
heretofore conducted at the UNIVERSE

TRUE COURAGE

True courage has so little to do
with anger that there always lies the
strongest suspicion against it where
this passion is highest. True cour-
age is cool and calm The bravest
of men have the least bullying inso-
lence and in the very time of danger
are found the most serene, pleasant
and free. Rage, we know, can make
a coward forget himself and fight. But
what is done in fury or anger can
never be placed to the account OF
courage. -Shaftesbury.
