Animals Die on Substitutes.

Animals in the ZOO in Berlin have
died in large numbers recently, prin-
cipally because the substitutes which
they have been given instead of their
accustomed food could not be digest
ed sufficiently to sustain life. Among
the species in which the mortality
has been greatest are the CRATES,
mandrills and chimpanzees. The
health of the surviving animals is not
good.
According to Hamlyn's Menagerie
magazine, published in London, the
Berlin Geological society declared
that while dates and bananas and 9th
er tropical fruits were unprocurable,
the apes were fed on kind Of biscuit
made of musty flour.
The carnivora manage to live on
scraps from the slaughter houses, but
the animals requiring grain and seeds
are not thriving well on the wild roots
given them as substitutes.

Identification Tao.

There has been a good deal Of un-
favorable comment in the navy on
the prescribed method Of wearing the
identification tag on account Of the
behavior of the woven wire necklace,
which rides up on the neck and in
conveniences the wearer In various
ways. These features have been
overcome at the naval training sta
ton, San Francisco, by frightening
the wire so as to permit of its being
worn bandolier fashion from above
the left shoulder to below the right
arm, the tag hanging few inches be-
low the apex of the right axilla. In
this way the wire does not ride up
nor interfere with the movements of
the body.-Army and Navy Register.

and getting no satisfaction from that
quarter she turned TO her Sealmate,
who was trying to hide his annoyed ex-
preston behind a weekly war digest.
"Did that bag hurt you when it
fell?" she inquired, although 1t had
missed him by at least foot.

CONGRESS ENTERS THE WAR.

By abandoning it spolicy Of all-suff-
cient secretiveness not only with re-
gard to the facts of the war but also
with regard to the methods of dealing
with them, the administration has
taken step both periodically and
politically expedient.
In the first place, now that congress-
men have geen taken into the war
governments confidence and, indeed
made at least tiny part Of the war
government, there will be an end of
the natural resentment and tempta-
ton in congress to look askance on
the governments proposals. An in
stance of that congressional disposi-
ton, quite defensible under the circum-
stances, was the hostility shown at
first blush to the governments request
for legislation transferring title to the
German owned shipping terminals. AS
soon as it was made clear why that
legislation was asked, every atom of
opposition died down. 1t would not
have arisen in the first place if con-
