The London Zoo is, perhaps, the most ppopular seieap fie institution in Europe. and its expenses are heavy. A recent report says that the death rate of its denizens is high, about 379 per 1.000, and about 1,200 animals are added every year, of which one-sixth are par- chased. The provision bill comes to £4,000 ayear, which means that it costs only a little more than a pen - ny a day per capita to feed 2,500 ani - mals, The flesh -eating animals are not sup- plied with prima joints of beef at this rate. Their fare is horseflesh and goat - flesh. Hay, clover, bran, oats, maize, sheat, and barley for grass and grain eaters from a large item, and 244 bushels of canary, hemp, and millet seed are demanded by the birds. The fish - eaters consume seventeen tons of fish annually. There are some odd items in the commissariat. One can understand the fifteen tons of biscuits, the four tors of rice, and the three tons of 0- intoes, but the 3,400 bunches of water- cress, the 1,200 quarts of shrimp, the 7,GU0 fowls' heads are amort the paper- ec a atd. ter Includes ots and gens en are of scab e��1111\' bares• And there aro epicures who de- mand 24,000 eggs.

It was found that all the mine foremen, sic erintendents and boss- es who had gone to supervise the work were with Those who are imprisoned. This gave the {work of relief no syste- mantic head, but the rescuers, provid- ing themselves with safety lamps bur- ried into the mine carriage and were 6 lowered 1,000 feet or more on the ince- cion of relief. They were John Doyle, Charles McDonald and James Tenyon• After a half-hour of suspense they re- Wined with expressions of discourage- went and the story that the cave-in had become more extensive and that the search party faced •inevitable tan- ger and that no news had been se- cured of the unfortunate men. With no however, they again went down to the foot of the shaft with other men whatho baffled and discuuiaged they repeated their story of defeated effort. For a re- third time, at 2 p.m. to -day, with re- newed vigor and still more men, they went beneath the surface into the pit and tried by the counter -gangway to reach by a circuitous route the unfor- tunate prisoners. After a journey of nearly a thousand feet they met ob- structions innumerable, the force of the concussion having created disastrous havoc, brattice work, pillars, air con- dune, doors, cars and top rock having been piled promiscuously so as to inter- fere with all efforts that could be made by any human being. Then to add to thetrouble an so accumulation CIS onclanof gas efforts to reach anywhere near the im- prisoned miners. Not subdued by these obstacles they again ineffectively tried their last resource to relieve and re- cover the men. General Manager John 73.

When first it was seen on Thurs- day evening, it is said by some who were on the old pier that the reflection of the sunlight upon what appeared to be church spires could he plainly seen. One large building, evidently a church, had the spires hanging down almost to the water. The mirage is most frequently seen in hot climates, more especially on the sandy n plainsof on which a %sults from the unequal density of the differ -let eat layers of the air when they are expanded by contact with heated soil or water.
