PRAIRIE DOGS.
Forty Colonists Settle . Town
How They Worked.
An addition to the zoological col
lection at the arsenal in Central Park
has just been completed in the rear
of the arsenal, near the bear pit that
is being cut out of the rock, and is
attracting much attention. The new
feature is a little strip of laud thirty
foot long and nearly half as -wide,
inclosed with an iron railing radiant
with a new -coat of green paint. At
first the visitor may see nothing in
the inclosure but the bare yellow
earth, thrown into rough" little
mounds in several, places. If he
lingers a moment several lumps of
what appeared the soil will spring
into life, and presently a Avhole col
ony of prairie dogs will issue out from
their underground dwellings and
frolic around. At any unusual sound
they whisk into their holes in an in
stant and are out of sight. The sito
of tho Prairie Dog Town was of late
completed. It was prepared by
digging a basin, the sides and bottom
of which were lined with concrete,
and the whole then fdled up with
fifteen feet of earth. When the soil
had settled, it was toady for the col
ony to enter into possession, and the
green railing prevented the colonists
from straying outside of town limits.
There are forty of the dogs owned by
the park authorities. They were ob
tained from Nebraska last spring,
and have been kept in a cage in one
of the buildings until Dr. Conklin,
Superintendent of the Menagerie,
could prepare better quarters for
them.
Dr. Conklin told the Park Com
missioners that the best way to care
for the animals was to make for
them a home as nearlv like their
own as possible, and that it could be
done at small expense. When the
dogs were turned into the inclosure
they frisked about the space a few
moments in evident surprise. Tneu
the' gathered in a knot for consulta
tion, in which one fat old patiiarch
seemed to assume the leadership.
They grasped the situation, and de
termined to make the best of it.
The old dog, followed by sir other
stout dogs, selected a central spot in
the inclosure, and began to dig with
his forepaws, until in a minute or
two his head was out of sight. He
then stepped aside and gravely sat
on his haunches, while another dog
began digging in the hole thus
started. The. remaining five dogs
stood in a row behind the one that
was digging while the unoccupied
dogs kept together a short distance
away. As the dirt was thrown up
from the hole the dog that wa3 next
to the one digging gathered it in his
paws and threw it back further to
those behind. In a short time the
first dog was out of sight. He then
stopped and took his position last in
the row, and the nest one began dig
ging. The foreman continued to
watch the operations quietly or to
inspect the progress of the work at
short intervals. It did not take long
before the whole six were down into
the ground. Then the workmen
were reinforced by another detach
ment, until finally the forty dogs
had disappeared, with the exception
of the old one, who stood outside.
Present! there was a movement of
the earth at a distance of fifteen feet.
A dog's head. appeared, and the sub
terranean workmen all filed out of
the gallery which they had made.
The dogs seemed "highly pleased
with the result of their work, and
after tho foreman of the work had
inspected the tunnel several times the
colony then divided into groups, each
group selecting a spot and going to
work to burrow on its own account.
Five of them, with the old dog, con
tinuedto work at the first burrow.
During the afternoon each of the
groups made its own home under
ground, and tliey all went to rest in
these holes at night. One day
thev were busv roundinir onfc their
halls and carrying in large quantities
of grass, which was given them to
line the passages. Crowds of visit
ors watch the busy workers. The
animals are smaller than the wood
chuck. They live socially together,
and never appear to quarrel. Oc
casionalty they utter a sharp, low
yelp. It js said that on the prairies
owls and rattlesnakes often make
quarters in their burrows.
"They are intelligent, interesting
little creatures, and quite harmless,"
said Dr. Conklin. " That old erav
.fellow seems to be a kind of leader
among them. The first hole that
they dug, in which he lives, is
the largest, and seems to be a sort
of city hall, -where they all assem
ble at times. The holes probably go
down about fifteen feet, where they
are stopped by the concrete. The
dogs will live out here comfortably
all winter. Their holes will be snug
and warm, and they are not
troubled with malaria." New York

John Jacob Ant or.
Speaking of John Jacob Astor, the
first, I cannot help realizing the
memory of conversations I have
heard between him and my father
when I was a boy.
"People think," said the old man,
"that I have had ah easy time of it,
but that's a mistalce. My early life
was a hard struggle, and even my
own brother refused to lend me
money."
.This brother,was a butcher named
Henry, pretty well off, with a stall
in the Bare Market or Bear Market
as it got to be afterwards called and
writhed under John Jacob's borrow
ings. One day, when the latter went
to him for $200, Henry said : "John,
I'll willingly give you $100 if you
will promise me that you will never
come to me again to borrow."
"I closed with the offer at once
and took the money," said Mr.
Astor, laughing heartily.
I have heard him tell how he got
his first start in life. He kept his
store in Peck Slip, and there bought
furs, almost any that were offered
him, until he had a stock packed
away that he could not realize on.
What to do he did not know, but
consulting with his wife, as he al
ways did about everything, the con
clusion was that ho should go to
London and sell them himself. This
was carried out and John Jacob
carried his furs to London and made
a good thing of it. While there,
and wandering over the great city,
he came across what was known as
the East India House, or Ccmpauy,
and recognized a name as chief of it
as one familiar. He sought him and
found a schoolmate in hi3 native
place in Germany. His schoolmate
did not repudiate him, but tried to
do everything he could to make
Astor feel that he wanted to serve
him, and, among the rest, when ho
was leaving gave him a permit for a
ship to trade in the Chlua Seas.
John Jacob laughed a't the gift, but
took it and had almost forgotten its
possession, when one day something
ho heard made him go to a merchant
named Livermore and propose that
he find capital to fit out a ship and
use the permit and they should share
the result. Livermore, at first re
jecting the proposal, afterwards ac
cepted it, and the voyage was
successfully undertaken, and from it
Astor realized $5Q,000. Then he
look the permit and fitted out a
vessel himself and laid the founda
tion of his enormous fortune. John
Jacob never denied that he owed
his success in a large measure to the
fact that he always consulted with
his wife, whom I remember as a
clear-headed, practical woman. N.
