Special Attention.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 12.-The death
of the gorilla N'gi in Washington has
led biologists to adopt extraordinary
precautions to guard the health of the
eight remaining gorillas in the Nation.
DR.. Reid Blair, director of the New
York Geological Garden, has as his
particular charge II Penseroso, who is
years old and has been captive for
three and half years No gorilla has
ever lived to maturity in captivity, but
II Penseroso still is in perfect health.
Gorillas mature at 20 years.
II Penseroso has a steam-heated
apartment in Bronx Park, DR.. Blair
says, but he is allowed to roam outside
in the coolest weather. radical de-
parture. As a consequence he has
grown a heavy coat and is even heavier
than he would be in his native Africa
He gets cod liver oil and orange Juice
every day-between sun baths. When
he has a cold he is treated just like a
human, and steam vapor inhalations
are administered to him. He is particu-
larly susceptible to earaches, tonSilitis
and bronchitis-much like a child.
Il think he is quite capable of dying
Of broken heart-that is, from loneli-
ness" says DR.. Blair But the tenn
perament varies and If you get one like
II Penseroso. who is shade less melan-
choly than most, he has good chance
TO survive"
