Life Of a Baby Gorilla.

There Is baby gorilla in a certain
geological garden which has become
the pet of all the keepers there His
favorite pastime is playing with chill
dren, of whom he is very fond, and
whom he never hurts, however rough
ly they handle him. The gorilla is
very methodical He wakes up about
eight o'clock in the morning and asks,
in gorilla language, for a glass of milk.
Then he capers about for a while. and
at nine has a bath, in which he de-
lights For his breakfast he eats
bread and butter, sausages and fruit.
He carefully picks the stones out Of
cherries and is very particular about
selecting good fruit. Dinner Is eaten
at one o'clock, and this meal always
excites the keenest interest In Mr..
Gorilla. A cup of beef tea is the first
course; then stew of rice, vegetables
and meat. The gorilla has been taught
to feed himself with spoon. but when
he thinks nobody is watching him. he
uses his fingers. After dinner he takes
a nap for an hour and half. When
he wakes he romps for time. and
eats light supper Of bread and butter
and tea. At $3.50 he goes to bed, roll
ing himself up in blanket and sleep
ing on a mattress like a child. His
keepers are very fond of him..

possible to readily clean all the pens.
The concrete floor ia made level and
each pen is provided with a platform
which holds the straw and keeps the
pigs from lying down on the cold con
crete. The platforms can be taken up
and hung on pegs or nails in the wall
when the pens are to be cleaned. Each
pen is also equipped with guard rail.
so that the young pigs in the filters
are protected.
The partitions between the pens are
made In several different ways. Some
men prefer the solid partition. as they
say that II Is easier for the pigs to
keep warm in the cold weather Other
men make an open partition and keep
the house well filed with hogs TO pro-
vide the warmth The partitions are
generally made removable. so that two
pens can be made into one If desired
A small hoghouse such as this
would make a valuable addition TO
the average farm. 1t is only IL by 50
feet and would not require much
space or expense in construction.

Charles Willi,m Beebe. who has
sailed for Georgetown, British Guiana.
to establish a tropical geological sta
ton for a new form of scientific OBJ
servation and research. has been GU
rator of ornithology, New .ork
Geological society, since 1892. In the
words of Doctor Beebe. AS yet there
has been no concentrated scientific
investigation in the tropics. The OBJ
ject of previous expeditions has been
to collect as many birds or animals
as possible" Our province is the
living creatures" says Doctor Beebe.
The government of British Guiana has
offered the use of its botanical gar
dens to the expedition. The amount
of work to be done is enormous
enough to keep Zen men working their
life long. it IL declared. An earlier
stay in Guiana and Venezuela is re-
corded in Doctor Beebe's book, Our
Search for Wilderness" And the
study of the pheasant led him in
1909 to India. Ceylon, Tibet and the
Himalayas. China. ,orneo, Java and
Japan.

imagines that they are very hardy and
can forage for themselves because
they will eat anything that is placed
in front of them Hogs will weather
many bad storms and considerable ex-
posture but if man is raising hogs
for profit and not just to eat up all
the leftover material from the house,
he will protect them and keep them
in good condition. The raising of
hogs is one of the most profitable
phases of farming II hogs are given or
binary care.
The floor, the foundation. and the
walls up to IS inches above grade are
constructed of concrete and are made
solidly together. This construction
positively protects the building from
being infested with vermin and also
makes 1t possible to wash down the
floor and the lower part Of the walls,
which are the most likely to become
dirty. Another advantage OF the walls
extended above grade is that 1t pro-
tects the hogs from a draft, which is
very important.
The hoghouse is, of course, faced
| toward the south, so that the hogs can
have the benefit of all the sunshine
that is available. The windows are
built long and extend from about a
| foot or two above the concrete to
within inches of the roof. This al
| lows the sunshine to penetrate into
| the back corners of the house and
keeps the interior In clean, sanitary
| condition. More provision should be
made for sunshine in hoghouse than
in any other farm building.
Small doors are placed under the
windows, 80 that the hogs can come
out during the nice weather. A yard
can be built around the house. as
shown in this illustration. or outside
pens can be made. II the pens are
built they are often made with con-
| crete floors, SO that they can be cas-
| fly kept clean. The concrete for these
floors does not have to be Of very good
material. as 1t can be more easily re-
paired than il made in an expensive
way.
In the construction of the hoghouse
the walls and ceilings are made dou-
BILE, so as to keep the interior warm
and comfortable The walls are made
of 2 by studding which is placed on
a sill on the concrete side walls. The
connection between the sill and the
wall must be carefully made so as to
eliminate the possibility of drafts.
The outside Of the studding is covered
with siding.
The inside can be finished in several
ways. Flooring is sometimes used and
wallboard is coming into prominence
for this sort of work. The wall board
is easily handled and can be painted
OF finished in any way that is desired.
The roof is made up OF rafters, 2 by
| 6, covered with sheathing. and on top
of that is placed prepared roofing,
which may be had In various forms
The inside Is finished the same as the
walls, and here also wallboard is be-
coming more and more popular.
| An alley is built the length OF the
house, behind the pens. A door is built
In each pen so that they can be en-
tered from the alley, which makes Il

woNota OF THE UNIVERSE
Great Myste, IS Something That the
Human Mind Feels at Loss in
Contemplation.

The mystery of II is, perhaps, that
things so great cal be made small
enough for our visinn, and that, even
as they are made small for our vision,
they can impart the sense of their
greatness to US. We saw only that
two great stars shone together, their
exceeding brilliance making the lights
OF the other stars ashamed. so that
those two flashed alone from the clear
sky. That was what we saw, and 1t
was a marvellous thing that we could
see them thus, for one was the great
est star of all, Jupiter, and the other
was the most beautiful of all, Venus,
and Venus was hundred million
miles from US, and Jupiter five times
as far as from Us, and four times as
far from Venus. And still, there they
were, so close together that 1t seemed
we could have taken them both in one
hand. Five hundred million miles Of

beauty and light is very far beyond our
understanding, and 400,000,000 miles
in the space of hands breadth 10
likewise incomprehensible. But we
saw it as simple, perfect thing, two
stars in winter sky. Two stars in
winter sky-and suddenly we felt a
greatness more vast than 500, 1000, 900
miles, even 100000, 900 miles of beau
ty and light. The snow and the win
ter air and the quiet houses were a
part of it, We were part Of it. A
flash of the understanding of great
ness is worth many little days and
nights. And the mystery of it was
that we saw the greatest stars as lit
tie things, and thus felt their great
ness and ours and the greatness Of
all things.-Exchange.

Many former coffee drinkers who

The thawing or ice in the DeS
Moines river again made the situa-
tion serious near Givin, where a huge
ice gorge is choking the stream and
forcing it to cut new channel. The
rapidly rising wafer overlooked
large amount of farm land and resi-
dents of the threatened section decid-
ed to attempt to dynamite way
through the gorge. Mine shot firers
hired to do the dynamiting used an
immense amount OF explosive, but
managed to cut way through only
100 yards of the six mile gorge.
