"Hello, brother," said a well-dressed man to the ape, upon entering the In closure. "How are you fselinjr this morning?" The ape, however, scorned its ques tioner and turned from nim in aisaain as much as to say, "You're not in my class." Nero, the big African lion, is one of the notable attractions at the Zoo. Thousands upon thousands of people all over the city and throughout the Northwest remember Nero and the p lar bear, after they have forgotten everything else seen in the Zoo. Nero Is one of the pacers; he Is never at rest, except when sleep overcomes him, and Mayor Lane says this indicates that the great, powerful beast wants his freedom, and that he is trying to make people understand that he wants' to get out into the open. Nero is lat, and so far as appearances go looks good. The collection of smaller wild ani mals, such as the wolves, Alaskan dogs, coyotes, badger and the gray fox are always on the move, but the most remarkable of the entire tribe Is tn polar bear, which swings its head back Wards and forwards continually. 11 evident dissatisfaction Is really th prime factor In bringing about the agi tation to make life more pleasant foi the animals at the Zoo or mercifully chloroform them and mount them for educational exhibits. It Is said that the bear Is too far out of his native state to be made comfortable; that h demands arctic conditions, and never can be contented elsewhere It Beem to be the disposition of Mayor Lan members of the Park. Board and Secre tary Shanahan, representing the Hu mane Society, to chloroform the bear and perhaps others of the less domes ticated specimens and' thus end their suffering, if they really suffer, and yet to preserve to a large degree the edu- 1 catlonal value of the animals by hav ing them mounted and put on exhibi tion. Parkkeeper Mische is preparing to compile a list of the more hardy ani mals and birds, those that thrive in captivity In the Oregon climate, as di rected by the Mayor and members of the Park Board. He will submit this list at the next regular session, if pos sible, after which the members of the board will determine what course they will pursue In the effort to eliminate what, if any. suffering there Is among the animals in the Zoo. liawler Accepts Place.

PARK ZOO ANIMALS BLISSFULLY IGNORANT OF HUBBUB OVER THEIR CONDITION Polar Bear and African Lion Pace Cells Unceasingly, but Most of Other Beasts Seem Fairly "Well Contented. O'T at the City Park Zoo there was the usual "doings" yesterday among: the animals, and there ap peared to be no concern among them over the agitation in their behalf, started by Mayor Lane early last week. Notwithstanding the fact that the May or and members of the Park Board, as well as Secretary Shanahan, of the Ore gon Humane Society, have threatened to end the career of the polar bear with chloroform, the old white brute does not care anything about It, so far as could be discovered by close scru tiny. In his iron-barred cage, he stood, peering Into the open fields be yond. Swinging his head to and fro. ( to and fro unceasingly, it seemed that he was longing for liberty. Old Nero, the African lion, paced rapidly back and forth in his little pen, evidently in search of a means of escape; the Alas kan dogs were nervous, and ever on the move, as were also the coyotes, the' gray fox and the badger. As far as can be Judged by the or dinary individual, after a trip through the Zoo, nearly all the animals are happy and contented, but the actions of the polar bear, the coyotes, the Alaskan dogs, the fox and the badger Indicate that they are dissatisfied with their lot. This is likewise true of the old lion. Year tn and. year out, these animals show their displeasure "at con finemc t by their restlessness, but it is as yet unknown to science whether or not there Is any mental suffering, ac cording to Dr. J. R. Wilson, chairman of the Park Board. He declares that there is not. but Mayor Lane holds to the contrary, saying that all beasts, birds and reptiles, natives of the wilds, are never contended In captivity. Nobody kno -,-s the degree of their con tentment in their native liberty. One fact that seems evident to even the casual observer is che inadequate room devoted to the Zoo. l one of the animals or birds has sufficient space, and many people believe that this alone contributes to their discomfort. It Is the intention of the Park Board, how ever, to p wide more ground, and to so distribute the various collections of specimens as to make them more con tented, even tho Th they be in captiv ity. Tv herd of buffalo, confined to a very small inclos-jre. do not present a good appearance. There is no green pasture for them, and they have no room to run. Their pen is not well kept, and they look dirty and neg lected. The various breed of deer look well, being- sleek and fat, and they are clean and do not appear dissatisfied with their lot, although they have but. little room in which to live, u ney are quite domesticated, and are friendly, greeting strangers without the least fear. The monkeys, the baboon and the ape comprise a queer collection. In the Winter they are kept in cages indoors. where it is quite warm. Yesterday they were engaged in the gentle art of eating peanuts, chasing each other around the cages at a furious pace. Superfluous Hair Doctors Say There Is a Harmless, Safe and Sure Way to Remove Superfluous Hair. Dr. Fowler, who "has made a thorough study of superfluous hair growths, speaking of a case in which he ueed DeMlracle. says: "I applied DeMlracle. and in a few minutes I had her Hp devoid of Hair without any naln whatever. I instructed her to call inli In two weeks, which she did. found about one-fourth of the hair roots wert not killed by the first application, so I made & second application. I saw her again in about a month, and found her Up aa clear of hair as an infant's. I can heartily recommend DeMlracle for all the uses for which the manufacturers recommend it." It Is well to remember that DeMlracle is absolutely non-poisonous, antiseptic and germicidal, therefore it will not produce blood poisionlng or. eczema -which Is so com mon with hair removers.

A secret of the pre-eminent tone beauty of the Stradivarius and Cremona vio lins lies in the expert selection of -tha wood. This is equally true of the mod ern piano, and in no part more neces sary than in the sounding board. In the Kimball piano the sounding board is made of the best-selected mountain spruce of firmer, finer grain than any grown in lower altitudes. As a conse quence they yield a more powerful singing- tone, the wood being com pressed in such a manner as to obtain the tonal resonance of the rare violin, - Chicago Chronicle.
