CONSIDER PLAN FOR
A LARGER ZOO AND
GARDENS FOR CITY

Plans for elaborate geological and bo-
tanic gardens to be conducted by a
geological society in conjunction with
the mayor and the chairman of the park
board, as is done in New York and
Philadelphia, were discussed by the parks
and boulevards committee OF the Atlanta
improvement commission at the first
spring meeting held to-day.
Chairman Oscar Cochran, Of the park
board, said that the plan, which is to
follow literally the system used in other
cities, contempates the removal Of the
present zoo from Grant park and the es-
tablishment of gardens apart from the
regular park plan.
Chairman V. II. Kriegshaber. of the
committee, voiced the sentiment OF the
members when he asserted that consid-
cradle attention would be given to the
establishment of small parks and My
grounds throughout the city.

sued his wife. Mrs. Mary C. Werber, of
DeKalb county, for a total divorce in the
superior court to-day. His suit was met
with a counter suit from Mrs. Werber,

The specific inhumane treatment, ac-
cording to Werber, was that Mrs. Werber
declined to wait on her mother in-law
when she was i'll.
Mrs Werber's counter suit alleged that
she was left at home to perform the
duties of charwoman while her husband

A Remarkable Headdress.

An ornithologist in Mexico while col
lecting birds for the National museum
caught sight Of blackblrd-One Of the
Mexican cowbirds-which seemed to
have a snow white crest This would
be an extraordinary specimen for his
cabinet, and after considerable trouble
he succeeded In shooting 1t. To bis
further establishment the supposed
crest proved to be a piece Of white
cloth stitched into the scalp and trim
med to represent the comb Of COCK.
The only explanation he could Imagine
was that the operation had been done
by some Of the Indian natives when
the bird was very young The wounds
Of the operation were entirely healed,
and the bird seemed well and cheerful
under Its novel MISUNDERSTANDING.

rhrIIIlnu Balloon Experience.

Probably no aeronauts have ever
survived to tell such thrilling story
of their experiences as Messrs. Glai-
sher and Coxwell when. in 1862, they
made their record ascent Of seven
miles. When the balloon had reached
height of $4,000 feet Mr.. Glaisher
records. 81 dimly saw Mr.. Coxwell In
the ring and endeavored to speak, but
could not, when In an instant intense
black darkness came, and suddenly
became unconscious" Mr.. Coxwell
himself was on the point of succumb-
ing to the intense cold. The boar
frost was all around the neck Of the
balloon, his hands were frozen and
powerless, and as the balloon was still
rising swiftly death seemed inevitable
to both aeronauts. Mr.. Coxwell des-
paired of opening the valve to release
the gas. Insensibility was rapidly
coming over him, and 1t was only "at
the last gasp" that by happy inspira-
ton he seized the cord with his teeth
and dipped his head two or three
times until the balloon took decided
turn downward"

A Noted Basso's Egotism.

Once In London were four great
basses singing at the same time, La
blache, Marini, Staudigl and Karl
Tormes. Fashionable opinion was IN
decided as to which of the four was
the greatest, and finally the members
Of a leading club determined to have
the quartet of singers interviewed sep
arately by one of the members to find
out to whom each Of the singers
awarded the palm of being the great
est basso then in London.
Staudigl answered promptly and
truthfully, "Lablache Is the best"
Marinl replied, ~ will not say who
Is the first basso, but I am sure La,
blache is the second"
Lablache modestly responded, "lf
Staudigl were not here / certainly
would claim the lead"
Formes without hesitation instantly
said. 1.-THE greatest basso, sir-that's
me, Karl Formes."

Stale Styles For China.

Men who have wondered what be-

and clothing that remain unsold at the
close of each season in this country
will be interested to learn that con-
siderable portion of such stock is dis
posed of in China. where the men are
adopting the dress Of their western
brothers. The rising generation OF
Chinese is particularly keen for head
gear worn in America, but the styles
seen there are always those that were
In vogue in this country the year be
fore. Much of the mems apparel that
fails to find a market in this country
finds its way to the far east In walk
through the streets OF any Chinese city
one sees derbies, fedoras and caps that
bear American labels. Most Of the
caps are of British make because many
of the tourists come from London, and
in selecting a cap the native has no
guide except the headgear he sees on
foreigners-New York Herald.

How TO unearth a Scot.

A Scot. commenting on the fact that
Scottish" as term Of reproach hiss
disappeared from Scottish schoolbooky,
makes the curious contention that
there is only one iocution now in which
Englishmen discern a Scotsman's pen
in the uncertain use Of shall" and
will" And even there, he says, it
has to be admitted that the English
Bible often shows the same uncertain
ty. The name Of the locutions by
which the pen of Scot can be in
fallibly detected Is legion, and Scots
are fully aware of this. For example,
Scots still write Of certain horse drawn
vehicles as machines" and puzzle us
by references to the policies" Of cas-
ties and country houses. They "homol-
Ogate," too, do the writing Scots; allude
to prisoners as panels" take much to

Sumner, who occupied roomy quarters
in an old fashioned house diagonally
across Jackson square from the White

saunter across the square and ask
Sumner to make him cup Of that

mind. Then he would say, Sumner.

HoIv Wars by MosIems.

There has been no universal war by
Mosems on unbelievers since the
early days of Mohammedanism. 1t
has been supposed that only the ca
liph, an office now claimed by the sui
tans Of Turkey, can order general
war or jihad. but as the Persians and
the Moors, who are Mohammedans, do
not acknowledge the spiritual authori-
ty Of the Ottoman sultan and look to
their own rulers for their cue in such
case, it is not at all likely that there
will ever again be jihad. Holy wars
have been proclaimed by the mahdis.
