PARIS (N.AN.A).—Zurich has a 200 at last. Many years ago King Mene- lik of Abyssinia wanted to give Zurich some lions in honor of his minister, Alfred Ilg, citizen of that zooless city, but there was no place in which to en- tertain a respectable lion, let alone one in which to invite him to spend a con- siderable time. This was particularly lamentable, as a lion appears on the city arms, and the good people of Zurich have wanted some nice lions ever since. Now they have at last some very fine ones, as well as many other notables from the animal world.

C, DECEMBER 8, Venice, City of Gondolas, Will Become City of Street Cars, Autos and Subway The officials say their plans will not materially change the face of Venice. The heart of the city, centering around the Cathedral of San Marco and the Doge's Palace, will remain the same. But the contemplated fnnovations can- not but give old Venice citizens some- thing to think about. Some of them have never even seen an automoblle. The technical commission in charge of the work, instead of seeking to ren- der the canals useless, will actually con- | struct another. " This will run from the | railroad station to the Ca Foscari and give_straight-line communication with the Piazza San Mareo. It will cut off a great bend in the Grand Canal. The present route via the Grand Ca- nal to the Ca Foscari is 7.150 feet long The new route will be 2,470 feet, a differ- ence of almest a mile.
