rush begins.

his money for an extra paper ever con-
siders the problem of getting the paper

After this weed has obtained a foot

to prevent 1t from sending up top

causes the roots to die. This Is the
basic principle which must be kept
in mind at all times. The top of the
plant serves much the same purpose
as the lungs of animals, so that If the
plant is continually deprived of all
that vital part it must soon die.

at the highest point and give on to
the high mass Of rock and the pool
with Its Inhabitants. On the south OF
the pool Is vertical wall Of rock, the
crest protected by downwardly project

which the spectator can view the

ends of the two lots OF cages. Look
Ing through the screen, the square
mouth OF cavern cut in the natural
rock beyond Is seen. This leads. by
way to the blasted-out rock tunnel and
passage, to what will be the lion g

cavern entrance and down to the den.
