Lack of knowledge Of America
Not Confined to Europe.
An English Woman's Tour-Her In.
formation Concerning United
States Not More Limited Than
That Of Some Natives.

New YOrk.-An American returned
from Europe met an English lady
aboard the liner, who CHANGED to tell
him her plans for seeing America. She
had travelled widely in the east and
expected to round out her experience
by a extensive tour OF the new
world" as she told him. The Ameri-
can vouches for the fact that she was
educated, cultured and apparently en-
tirely sane.
1t was her intention to remain in
New York several days, after which
Ehe was going to take a train to Chi
cago. She had not planned to stop of
at Niagara Falls, saying that she had
seen the Victoria Falls in Africa and
"a sure Niagara would be tame after
that. After a stop at Chicago long
enough to enable her to see the coun-
try In that vicinity, she was going to
st. Louis, where she would see the
Mississippi river.
Thence she was going to New Or
leans and she anticipated great enjoy
ment from the scenery in the Rocky
mountains while passing through Lou
isiana. From New Orleans she had
decided to take a steamship to New
York, which would enable her to see
Florida and the entire Atlantic coast.
Then, having seen about all there is to
see in the United States, she planned
to return to England.
Now, this was not a joke. The
roman was certainly in earnest, and
was intensely surprised at the infor-
nation her American acquaintance
was able to give her. He, on his
part, was so impressed with the mat.

ANIMALS SLAIN By CAPTIVITY
Statistics Show Their Lives Are
Greatly Shortened While Deprived
Of Liberty.

Paris.-Statistics printed here show
that the lives of wild beasts in captiv.
ity are much shorter than those at lib,
erty, especially in the case of exotic
beasts.
The tiger and panther in captivity
do not live more than seven or eight
years, lions a little longer, hyenas five
to six years, and the brown bear seven
to eight, although they often reach
twenty when at liberty.
In captivity the white bear reaches
only four or five and the elephant,
which often attains one hundred when
at liberty, lives only twenty-five to
thirty. Gagged monkeys, however well
housed, live only seven or eight years,
and nearly all die from tuberculo-
sis.

New YOrk.-That the social-center
