BEAR TURNS PLUMBER.
PUZZLED BY THE MYSTERY OF
CAGE WATER TANK.
Animal In Brooklyn Zoo Conducts Pa
tlent Examination and Has Made
Some Progress on Road to
the Secret.

Prospect park zoo has a plumber
bear. and HIS name Is Bosco So far
as known. he ia the only plumber bear
in captivity.
B0sc0's residence Is No. Bear
place. and he lives I'm a great cage
which is far different from his an
cient home In the wild Ural noun
tains. Bosco Is a Russian, a big
hulking, quietly-ambling fellow, and
hes Ia a favorite with Head Keeper
O'Brien and his men, because he ia
30 tractable. says the Brooklyn Eagle.
No matter how the black bears in the
adjoining cage may snap and growl'
or the other members OF the bear
family may display their peevishness,
Bosco is always good-natured. lie
has a great wooden ball that he plays
with in the most comical manner inn
aginable.
But 1t is about Bosco's plumber-like
proclivities that you want 10 hear.
Half OF his life is spent in play and
sleep. and the other half In trying to
puzzle out the mysteries Of the big
water tank In the center OF his cage
He Is more Of a monkey than a
bear" said O'Brien. He is the
greatest imitator | ever saw"
Bosco first tried to get through his
clumsy old bear head what It meant
when the water ran into the tank. lie
would sit on his hind legs, with a lu'
dicrously foolish expression on his
face and study the water as he tried
to get the ms and outs Of the mys-
terry OF why the tank was full at some
times and empty at others. To trace
the solution of this mystery became
the consuming passion OF his life.
Sometimes he would rub his ear with
a contemplative paw. and you would
see his eyes brighten as he thought
he had at last struck the right trail.
Then he would retire into his cave in
the rocks, to cogitate at his leisure.
At first he tried to keep the water
back by showing a paw against It, but
this did no good. Then, when the
tank became clogged ana the keepers
went into the cage to clean it out.
Bosco sat by in an attitude of an alert
old man taking in every detail OF
their operation. He saw them lift
up the trap and set down in it.
So, when they had gone, Bosco or
ganized a class in plumbing with
himself as sole member He first put
out hairy paw and seized the trap.
It came up easily enough. Then he
looked at #, to see what made it come
up. and put 1t back and lifted It again
and again in the Joy of his discov-
cry. He had part Of the secret, at
any rate.
The next thing Bosco learned was
to get down into the tank and dig
around to see what made the water
stop running. He acted just like a
man about it, and performed each act
with comic gravity. He found cap
down there, and he used to take that
off.
That is about as far as Bosco has
got in the elementary stages of plumb
ing; but he is ambitious, and If he
keeps on he may be ready to don a
jumper and overalls soon and start
out on a job with soldering irons un-
der his forepaw and charcoal stove
swinging.

Question of Tongue.

Some amount of confusion is caused
by the pronunciation of the name of
the town Kuprulu, or Veles, in Mace
donia. The difference in nomencla-
ture is attributable to the conflict of
tongues. Kuprulu, Koprulu or Ku-
prili is the Turkish equivalent of the
Bulgarian Valesa and the Greek We
lissa, all of which refer to the same
town in the vilayet (as it was under
Turkish rule) of Saloniki. The ancient
Greek historian Polybius speaks Of
the town of Bylazors, and it Is be-
lieved that the Bulgarian and modern
Greek names are corruptions of this.
The Turkish form, with slight modif-
cation, is the cognomen of family
Of statesmen who flourished from the
sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.

Usjnu Sour Milk

Very often sour milk is thrown away
because the ignorant cook does not
know how to make use of it. Sour
milk may not only be used for biscuit
but for wafles, gingerbread, cake of
various kinds and even salad dressing
and ice cream, provided that it is prop
erly sweetened with soda. Thick sour
milk requires the proportion of an
even teaspoonful Of soda to each pint
of the milk. Thin milk, of which there
is less curd than whey, requires more
soda. The soda should always be we'll
dissolved in the milk or sifted into the
-four If it is not to collect in Jumps
and show its presence.

"BIood and Iron"

What is the real origin of the fa-
nous phrase commonly believed to
have been used for the first time by
Bismarck? We all, of course, know
that in the Prussian diet of 1862 Bis
marck declared: The great questions
are to be settled, not by speeches and
majority resolutions, but by blood
and iron" The belief here avowed
remained with the chancellor to the
end, for in his memoirs" he repeated
the declaration thus: I'VE could get
no nearer the goal by speeches, asso-
Citations, decisions Of majorities; we
should be unable avoid a serious con-
test which could only be settled by
blood and iron" Bismarck, we may
assume, when first using the words,
had in mind a familiar song written
during the war of liberation against
Napoleon by Max Won Schenkendorff,
in which occur the lines:
Nur Eisen kann uns retten
Und erlosen kann nur Blut!
Only iron can save us, and blood
alone can set us free"-a prophecy,
the Prussian believes, fulfilled in the
craftsmanship of Bismarck.

VeIIInas Are In Fashion.

To go unveiled this winter is to be
distinctly questionable. The wells
are various. There is the nose VEIL
that simple little band that extends
entirely around the hat and reaches
just to the tip Of the nose; also the
veil that covers the hat entirely and
which is draped profusely at the back.
The latter arrangement is applied to
both large and small hats Black cor
beau blue, carrot and tete de Negro
are the colors to be recommended and
are of large meshes fashioned OF small
chenille cords.

Measuring Moisture in Wood.

Experts in wood technology have
perfected instruments that measure
the amount of moisture in wood, and
thus have given to lumbermen infor-
nation of the utmost value to them,
since it has saved them many thou
sands Of dollars in freight charges.
According to one writer 1000 pounds
of green lumber fresh from the saw
and cut from green logs contains from
four hundred to FIVE hundred pounds
of water. Nearly all fresh-cut wood
is at least one-third water. Some
woods contain twice as much water
as others.
