NGI m CONVALESCENT STAGE.
ATTENDING DOCTORS BELIEVE
Irregular Heart Beat Disappearing and
Breathing Is Much Less Labored-Food
Is Still the Essential Problem.

N'gi, the Zoos 6-year-old gorilla.
which has been desperately i'll for
nearly month of bronchitis that finally
developed into bronchial pneumonia,
was "convalescent" today, his doctors
assured DR.. William M Mann, director
of the Zoo after the morning physical
examination.
DR.. John Eckhardt, pediatrician, and
DR.. David E. Buckingham, veterinarian,
who have attended N'gi daily since he
was taken sick, now believe he will re-
cover unless something unforeseen hap
pens. They believe the improvement
has been due in large part to the spe-
cial oxygen chamber in which he has
been inclosed for the past three days.
DR.. Eckhardt said today the worst
sign which developed in N'gi, a great
irregrllarity of the heart beat, which
was noticed Saturday, and which, 1t
was feared, indicated the overworked
heart might be giving out, was much
less apparent today. The pulse was
stronger and steadier, approaching what
is believed to be the normal condition
for gorillas. The breathing also seemed
less labored.
Head Keeper Optimistic.
William H Blackburn. head keeper,
whose lifelong experience with wild
animals of all kinds in sickness and
health has made him an extremely able
diagtostician, expressed optimism for
the first time after looking at N'gi this
morning This is the first morning for
the past week, he told DR.. Mann, that
he has come to work with any conf
dence that Ngi, who has been his par
ticular pet, would still be alive.
IL rAfI l. If no
little gorilla to take sufficient nourish-
ment to keep up his general physical
condition until the body itself manu-
features something to overcome the
pneumonia infection. This is being
accomplished by leaving with him most
of the time large and varied assort-
ment of tempting food, from which he
can pick out what appeals to him.
His tastes change from day to day,
DR.. Mann said This morning he ate
the biggest breakfast for week-a half
head of lettuce, two bananas, six prunes,
an apple, a pear and a whole tomato.
He left grape fruit, usually his favor
ite delicacy, untouched.
Needs Appealing Food.
Yesterday, DR. Mann said. N'gi avidly
devoured a grape fruit. but refused to
touch lettuce. Ngl cannot De lorceo
to eat. The only way to get food into
his stomach is to appeal to his appe-
tite SO he will eat willingly. The va
riety of his food tastes, DR.. Mann said
is one of N'gi's strikingly human quail
ties. Ordinarily the feeding of an ami
NAL is a fairly simple matter. The diet
range of most species is narrow, and
even when extremely hungry they will
not touch food which does not fall
within this range. They eat the same
things continually, year after year.
But N'gi always has been rather
finicky eater. When he first came to
Washington, specially baked custards
were used to tempt his appetite and

SUES FOR 100000

James C. Adkins, 910 Seventeenth
street, filed suit in District Supreme
Court today to recover 100000 dam
ages from Swift & Co., meat packers,
for alleged personal injuries.
The plaintiff said his automobile
collided with one owned by the de-
fendant on the East-West Highway, be-
tween Sixteenth street and Connecti-
cut avenue, May 8. AS a result of the
alleged negligence of the operator of
the defendants car, Mr.. Adkins said
he suffered brain conclusion. broken
back and a serious injury to his left leg

combat the inconsistencies from which
he suffered. Ever since, Zoo attendants
have been forced to use considerable
ingenuity to keep up N'giS interest in
his meals. He even has eaten a little
meat on rare occasions, although this
is not believed to enter gorillas diet
in the wild state. The big ape Is es-
sentially a fruit and vegetable eater,
enjoying an occasional feast on nuts.
DR.. Mann and Mr.. Blackburn have
tried consistently to raise the baby 60
rilla, concerning which practically
nothing is known. according to the ex-
perience gained in raising the nearest
comparable living thing, the human
baby. Great as is the gap which sep
arates N'gi from a human being he
seems nearer to humanity than to any
other animal, even to any other species
of the great apes.
A Long Road to Health.
While Ngi seems to have turned the
corner" the physicians assured Dr.
Mann Yesterday, he still is extremely
weak and has long road before him
to completely restored health. 1t will
be at least a week, probably more. be-
fore ne can be moved from the oxygen
chamber and longer time before he
can be expected to play normally.
Yesterday he gave his keeper, Paul
Hollup, who has been at his side al
most constantly while he has been sick,
a feeble hug. 1t may have been an ex-
preston of affection. At any rate it
represented the strongest sign of inter-
est he has shown in life for a long
time.
N'gi spends most of his time asleep
good sign because sleep consumes less
of the bodily energy, the conservation
of which is necessary to combat the
infection. A sudden turn for the bet
ter is not expected. Bronchial pneu-
monia in humans has long, slow con-
valeScent period.
Interest in N'gi throughout the coun-
try continues to mount, judging from
the heavy mail received at the Zoo Of
flee and the unceasing flood of telc-
phone calls. Most of the communica-
tons are solicitous inquiries and sug-
gestions Apparently, DR.. Mann said.
the serious illness of few humans has
attracted more attention Meanwhile.
science is learning much more than it
ever knew before about gorillaS and how
to care for them.
