Nine zoo
Animals Kept Under Conditions of
Natural State.
Park Located in Bavaria's Capital City
—New Feature of Gardens Is the
Terrace Where Lions and
Tigers Roam.
Munich. Bavaria.—A noteworthy
zoological garden has of late been
added to the many interesting sights
of Munich, the capital of Bavaria.
The animals will be kept as far as pos
sible Under the conditions of their
natural state. This park will be a
practical combination of technical
skill and artistic beauty.
To the south of the city, where the
air is laden with the perfumes of the
great forests which cover the hills and
dales of the Bavarian Alps, and on
the banks of the River Isar. which
rushes down foaming and roaring
from the mountains, in still solitude
may be found the most beautiful land
scape in the environs of Munich. Pine
trees, hundreds of years old, together
with silver birches and knotty wil
lows and poplars, form a forest, and
beyond farstretching green meadows
rises a mighty mountain terrace, at
the foot of which are clear, bubbling
lugs.
This charming spot was chosen for
the laying out of a zoological garden
ten years ago. when its present direc
tor, Lieut-Col. Manz, commenced the
preliminary work. A few years later
the well known architect, Prof. Eman
uel von Seidl. took over the artistic
and architectural part of the work.
The park has now been opened to the
public for the last two years, not,
however, without having found much
trouble and opposition.
Coming to an open space in the
woods a herd of buffaloes Is found.
Further along are stags from th*
mountains of Asia and wild bears from
the forests of Europe and India.
In close vicinity of the buffaloes
from America are kept specimens of
the European bison from the swamps
of Russia, the zebra and antelope
from India, while swimming birds from
all parts of the world are on the lakes
and black swans, pelicans and gulls
and many other kinds of fancy water
fowl.
The natural character of the land
scape has been preserved everywhere,
and the animals have as much liberty
and freedom as is possible under the
Market Place, Munich.
circumstances. To prevent the ani
mals from escaping, the necessary
fences have been erected, but these,
however, do not in the least prerent
the visitors from enjoying an unob
structed view of the animals. Iu fact,
the bars and fences, which always
give the impression of cages, have In
many instances been done away with
and in their place deep and wide
water basins with high walls have
been erected, thus completely seperat
ing the animals from the spectator.
The polar bears can be seen under
a wooded hill in a grotto of rocks and
not far from them are the sea lions,
the diving tricks of which are causing
the public, and especially the children,
a great deal of amusement.
The wild sheep from the African
mountains and the chamois of the
Bavarian Alps are found in suitable
surroundings of wood clad hills, and
it is extremely interesting to watch
these animals climbing and jumping
up and down the steep rocks.
A new feature of these zoological
gardens is the lions’ terraces. Hero
the architect has followed a new idea.
In an old temple with columns and
walls and hidden corners can be seen
dark maned Hons and the stealthy
forms of tigers hadhting the ruins>
An up-to-date restaurant in the gar
dens was also designed and built by
Prof. Seidl. From the terraces of this
restaurant a beautiful view over tha
park can be obtained. The background

ing into the clear atmosphere Ilka

FEET OF POLICE TICKLED
Three St. Louis Officers Ask for
Transfers, Saying Jars Make
Them Seasick.
St. Louis, Mo.—Here is a real police
shakeup:
Three members of the traffic squad
have asked to be put back on beats
because the vibration caused by the
trains running through the tunnel and
street cars on the surface is shaking
them up so that they feel seasick
nearly all the time, and their nerves
are so affected that they can’t keep
their feet still.
The men who have asked to be
transferred are Frank Dempsey, at
Eighth street and Washington avenue;
John Smith, at Seventh street and
Washington avenue, and George Stow*
ell, at Olive and Ninth streets. These
stations are almost directly over the
Eads bridge tunnel, through which
many trains pass every day.
NEW YORK HIGHLANDERS UNEARTH PHENOM
Ray Keating. Spit Ball Artist.
Frank L Chance sincerely believes j
that Ray Keating, the boy whom the
Yanks secured from Lawrence, Mass.,
will be as good as Ed Walsh within a
few years.
"A great pitcher, that boy," com
mented Chance as he gazed at the
youngster.
"He uses the spit ball almost ex
clusively, but has he the physique for
a spit-ball pitcher?" was suggested.
“I'll agree with you that he isn't as
tall as Walsh, but he weighs 185
stripped, which isn't being a light
man by a good many pounds, and take
i a look at those shoulders. This boy
is only twenty- years old. He has a
^few years to grow ”
Keating's success is with the spit
ball. He has a good fast ball, but .re
lies on the salivated delivery.
"Walsh uses the spitter. That's all
he has," went on Chance, "that and a
fast one, but the spitter nearly all the
time."
"How do American league pitchers
look to you?"
"Some of those 1 have seen look
pretty fair, to say the least. There is
Walter Johnson—”
"Would you call him better than
Mathewson ?”
"No, 1 would not say that Johnson
is a better pitcher than Mathewson.
You have to give Matty a lot of credit.
He is a wonderful pitcher. He has
speed, curves, a good slow ball and a
great mind. Johnson has more speed
than Matty, but lacks several of the
other things.
"I do not believe that Johnson will
last as long as Mathewson. A man
cannot use as much speed as he does
for many seasons. He is developing
a curve ball that will be of great ad
vantage to him. He showed a good
curve when he pitched against us. He
has no slow ball to speak of. but with
that curve and speed he will be bet
rzoi
^ |rj
Mordecai Brown.
ter equipped than in previous years.
As he grows older he will pitch more
with his brain than his arm and last j
longer than if he depended on that j
speed and his curve.
"In picking pitchers I think I would j
take Mordecai Brown if I had one :
pitcher to choose of all those in the j
major leagues. Brown had every-!
thing a pitcher needed—a great curve, j
good speed, slow ball and control. He
was a wise pitcher, and I do not think
I ever saw a better fielding pitcher.
Besides that, Brown was always ready j
to work for you. He would go in any |
day at any stage of the game and al- i
way pitch good ball.
“I did not see a left-hander this j
spring, though, who, if he always '
pitches the kind of ball he pitchedj
against us, is the greatest southpaw
in the country. That's Plank of Phil
adelphia.”
“Do you think him superior to Ruck
er and Marquard?”*
“I think him superior to anyone I
ever saw.’
And Chance should know. He bat
ted against the pick of the National
league hurlers for several years, and
managers were always sure that their
star boxmen were at their best when
the Cubs came to town. He had to
face Walsh at the end of several sea
sons in the Chicago city series, and
knows him well, and this spring he
bumped against Johnson and Plank.
If any man in the major leagues is
in a position to know the relative val
ue of the pitchers in high baseball
society. Chance is that man.
Yale has a winning ball team. The
country is safe.

HANDICAP TO PLAYERS
Stars Who Suffered Because of
Size of Their Digits.
Cy Seymour Found Great Difficulty
in Controlling Ball Because His
Hands Were So Small—Camp
bell Another Victim.
It was the small size of his hands
which kept Cy Seymour from being a
great pitcher. When he first joined the
j New York Giants, many years ago, he
' came as a twirler, but he found the
greatest difficulty in securing control
of the ball, because his hands are so
small that he could not get his fingers
all the way around the sphere. Cy
was finally forced to give up pitching
entirely and go to the outfield, where
his hitting, rather than his fielding,
kept him in the game for a long period
of years.
Vincent Campbell, the fast center
fielder of the Bostons, last season, has
the same handicap as Seymour in re
gard to the size of his hands. Camp
| bell's mitts are far below the average
! in length and diameter, and the muffed
: flies which he is guilty of are the re
1 suit of this physical handicap, to a
! great extent. He is also not so good a
i thrower as he would be if his hands
were a bit more bulky. Campbell,
however, played better ball last season
than ever before.
Vincent is a speed marvel, no one
excelling him in getting down to first
base. But he has two weak points in
offensive work. He is a very poor
waiter, and so does not get on nearly
so often as he would if he was able to
force the pitcher to pitch to him.
His great speed makes him a hard
man to stop in the bases, but he is not
on there so much as he would be if he j
could develop the habit of waiting to J
better advantage. Campbell hits 15
points higher than Bob Bescher, but
the extra bases on balls secured by
the Redleg were more valuable than
the extra hits made by the Boston gar
dener.
Owing to his inability to wait, Camp
bell went to hat more times officially
than any other player in the National
league last. year. He was charged
with 624 times at bat. and no other
player reached the 600 mark, though
16 of them played in as many or more
games than he did. This is a serious
weakness in a lead-off man. who
should be on base more often by the
pass route. Campbell, in spite of his
great speed, is not a very clever base
runner. While Bescher was stealing
67 bases last year Vincent was copping
just 19. both men playing in exactly
the same number of games.
JOHNSON NOW HOLDS RECORD
Washington Speed King Ends Sensa
tional Run When St. Louis Scored
Run Off His Delivery.
Walter Johnson, Washington's star
pitcher, is the official holder of the
major league record for pitching con
secutive scoreless innings, winding up
his great run at St. Louis recently,
when he added three and one-third
innings to his work. The Browns
scored on him in the fourth inning.
Johnson now holds the record at 56
innings.
Johnson's teammates claim this is a
major league record for shutouts, and
so far as known it Is. Record books

with 56 innings and Jack Coombs of
Walter Johnson.
the Athletics with 53 innings have
been proved incorrect, making au
thentic information concerning previ
ous performances of this kind diffi

runless innings has been verified and
found correct. All other claims are
more or less open to doubt.

DON’T LET WRINKLES COME
Use Preventive Measures to Keep
Your Face Smooth, and Con
trol the Emotions.
I once heard a woman say: "The
best way to treat wrinkles is to avoid
getting them.” This may sound absurd
but it is true. Wrinkles are caused by
bad facial habits.
Laughing, crying, frowning or smil
ing will not make you wrinkled, unless
you do one or the other habitually,
then the face becomes “set.” To keep
the muscles of the face exercised will
not give you wrinklc-s. Scowling and
wrinkling the forehead when reading
or studying, or when conversing, will,
if continued persistently, soon show
deep wrinkles in the forehead, and
about the eyes. You can check your
self of these habits and thus avoid
acquaring wrinkles.
If the eyes are weak or over
strained it is easy to fall into the habit
of drawing the forehead down in
wrinkles about the eyes, thus giving
yourself a cross look, that you prob
ably do not deserve. Pressing gently
the nerves around the eyes and stop
ping now and then to close your eyes
is very restful to them. If your eyes
are troublesome, however, better con
sult an oculist.
Do not allow yourself to be tortured
by shoes that are too small or uncom
fortable clothing. Your comfort has
more to do with facial expression than
perhaps you realize.—Mme. Jeanne La
Place, in the Woman's World.

WHY TRIMMING ON LEFT SIDE
Custom Now Universally Followed
Goes Back to the Days of Chiv
alry and the Rapier.
Did you ever wonder why it seemt
natural to put trimming on the left
side of the hat? Of course this yeat
we are not natural, so far as trimming
is concerned. We swathe our waists
with thick folds, we gather our skirts
in front, we fasten buckles, bows and
other decorations at our knees, and we
blithely wear the trimming of our hat
at left or right, front, back or in the
middle. Perhaps thie fashion will dull
our feeling that the left side is the
suitable side for trimming.
This is the reason, anyway why we
have had to hold ourselves in check
lest we put our hats on backward ot
sideways to bring the trimming to the
time-honored left side:
In the old, old days, when men went
about with swords instead of pen
knives at their sides they wore trim
ming on their hats; not the email
neat ribbon band and folded bow they
wear now. but a big, waving plume ot
two. These plumes, if they were fast
ened at the right side, interfered with
the sweep of the sword when it was
swung high in air to gather force
swung, naturally, with the right hand
on the right side. Hence the trimming
was placed on the left side, and there
| it has remained, on and off, ever since
until the fashions of the last few years
came in.
Butterflies as Jewels.
Brilliant butterflies, brought bad
by travelers who have been exploring
distant countries, serve only to en
rich the collections of naturalists. 11
is only recently that the multi-colored
wings of these brilliant and charming
insects have tempted artistic jewel
ers. They have imprisoned in th‘
crystal some of these variegatec
wings and have made of them jewels
which not only are ravishing bui
which reveal a very tempting origi
nality. A brooch has been made wit*'
the two wings of one of these butter
flies. They were arranged in th<
shape of a butterfly between two thir
sheets of crystal. The edge of lh»
wings was set with diamonds and ai
opal formed the body of the fly.
Bulgarian Ribbons Taken.
According to the Dry Gods Econo
mist, the vogue for Bulgarian designs
and colorings in ribbons continues un
abated. The narrow Bulgarian novel
ties are especially favored for mill!
nery decoration, in the forms oi
bands and flat bows, and neckweai
manufacturers are using them foi
forming smart bow novelties and foi
color relief purposes. In both of thess
lines effort is made to use them ir
as simply a manner as possible at

and the coloring will not be lost. Twc

Buttonholes In Thin Goods.
If you have trouble in making but
tonholes in thin material, here is a
way of overcoming the difficulty.
Hold a piece of the material on the
under side and cut the hole through
this as if it were part of the waist.
When the buttonhole is finished, cut
'away the under cloth very carefully so
that it will not show. There will be no
difficulty, even with chiffcn, if the
cloth is colded two or three times.

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PROSPERING, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.
The present tightening up of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. It is really more a period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade of the coun
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who if allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev
itably be a means towards precipi
tating something a good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and it is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
is illuminative to read portions of the
address of Hon. W. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered a few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr. White’s remarks are in part as
follows:
"It falls agreeably to iny- lot to ex
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions v/hich it
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. I am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 31, will prove
even more satisfactory as reflecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. I
have every expectation that when th8
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $168,250,000, or
an increase over the year 1911-12 of
over $32,000,000. Some indication of
the magnificent growth of the Domin
ion may be gleaned from the fact that
this increase In revenue during the pe
riod of one year almost equals the en
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
“The augmentation of revenue to
which I have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
in its nature, but has steadily charac
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. It was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue—excise, post office
and railways—also gave us very sub
stantial increases.”
“That in a period of great finan
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce so substantially
($23,000,000) the debt of the Domin
ion, must be a matter of gratification,
both to the House and to the people
of Canada.
“I believe that during this period
of exceptional mpney stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of its securities has
maintained itself among the highest
in the world.”
Owfcg to the favorable state of its
finances Canada was in a position to
pay ofT a heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue of bills or se
curities.—Advertisement.
