of thin Intimate association with animals
he lias learned to communicate with them
und lie can sing the' conga of all birds.
He does this In his act. using not his
vocal cords, but rings In nls throat simi
lar to those of birds. He also extinguishes
flrtt by the sound of his voice. A gas
flame, four feet high. Is placed upon
the stage. Mr. Kellogg goes Into distant

Hummel's New Bear
is Finnicky Eater!
"Uttle Joe," Park Commissioner Hum- J ;
mel's new cinnamon bear, It a f&'itldlous
little brute.
The cub arrived from Onawa, la., this
morning, comfortably cratea and well pro- I
vlded with food. Hummel's park manager '
at Blvervlew hustled the new arrival :nto I
a cage and threw him a hunk of costly
steak.
"Little Joe"snlffed the flesh and turned
it down. He wua tried with bread and
butter and a dozen delicacies and con- .
slstently refused them all. j
In consternation over the bear's dlges- j
tlve condition tho caretaker proffered tho j
cub a bowl of milk. It was cold and none
too fresh. The animal showed his In-1
cllnatlon to drink the milk, but hesitated '
after a few preliminary sniffs. ,
This gave the caretaker a clue and he
brought forth a bowl of warm, certified
mill:. The cub wagged Ills tall and the '
milk began to disappear. A second bowl
disappeared. (
Now the park commissioner is under the
Impression that hl new xoological ac
quisition will be an expensive proposition
If he refuses to eat everything except
certified milk.
