Two Tons of Dried: Grasshoppers to Be Fed Animals in Zoo ‘Two tons of dried grasshoppers have been ordered from South Africa for the animals at the National Zoological Park. They will be used in the diet of some of the African birds and also mixed in the food of some of the mammals. Insect-eating crea- tures, says Dr. William M. Mann, Zoo director, evidently need in- sects in order to be at théir best. Nothing can quite replace the combination of food elements in the flesh of the insects. In the grasshopper season, Dr. Mann says, natives -can scoop them up with coal shovels. They are placed in bags :’A}lch are then suspended over open fire. When the insects are completely “dried out” they are in shape to be shipped to zoos. The latest additions to the Zoo population are four button quail from the East Indies. These quail are about the size of English Sparrows. PLAY T ENTERS T SECOND WEE| 12 Additional Performances Are Scheduled Before Contest Closes.
