historic animal exhibit has been located
under the skylight in the east room.
Here will be shown the strange. colossal

many specimens which are unique. some
of them representing animals never be-
fore exhibited in assembled form or in
as complete restoration as these now ap-
pear.

Of the west range there are several ex-
hfbition series showing the development
of the animal embryo. as Well as a

RED CROSS ENDOWMENT.
Committees Appointed by Taft to
Complete Fund of $4,000, 900.

One of the most important movements
of the American Red Cross is the COM
pletion Of it's endowment fund of $1,000,
Co., and the endowment committees ap-
pointed by President Taft are making
vigorous appeals to the public to raise
the remainder of the amount.
There still remains the sum of 81. 154,
90 to be raised and the committees
are taking active steps to arrange a
financial campaign for the coming winter
that will be comprehensive and wide
spread.
In an article in the October number
of the American Red Cross Bulletin the
committee lays particular stress on the
important steps taken by foreign coun
tries in the way of endowing the organi-
zation and makes an appeal to the Amer
lean public not to stand in the back
ground.
Two years ago Baron Ozawa vice presi-
dent of the Japanese Red Cross, wrote
that this autumn the permanent endOw-
ment in his country will amount to
$7,5OO.OOO. If the Japanese can raise this
amount the committee claims, the United
States can easily raise $2,O0O,OOO, which
is all the Red Cross demands.
