DARKNESS REVIVES INSTINCT OF CHASE Caged Anlmals Live a0 [magina- tive Lile During Hours o Night London, May 4.-—Wild animals | captivity live at night an imaginatiy lite entirely different from their dul day hours when the curious file Ly in front of their cages, according to R, T, Pocock, superintende of th Zoologleal Gardens of Londen whe i about to retire arfter many years of service, At night the inborn habits of the jungle show themselves In striking fashion, and the beasts throw off tho sleepy veneeryof indifference they seem to adopt Wwhen stand in front of their enclosures and speculate upon what might happen were the animals suddenly given their liberty, Speaking of the differences he noticed In the behaviour of beasts by day and night, Mr says: Change In Disposition At Night, “If you go into the llons' house dur ing the day you are nearly always im- pressed by the peaceful way in which the animals regard you. But visit them in the darkness and instantly you are aware of the change, “As it by magic thelr instincts to hunt and to kill have returned. Noth- ing is more weird than to walk past the cage of a llon or a tiger and then to turn around. To your astonish- ment you see that the animal, as you went by, has been stalking you, just as if he were still living in natural surroundings. On the instant you turn your head he drops flat on the floor of the cage. His great, lithe body remains fectly still as he lles there intently ching you. T do not think wild animals like these ever| lose thelr instincts, no matter how long they are kept in captivity. And/| at night, when all is still and there are none of the distractions of the daylight, they can live again in the world from which we have brought| them. humans has wild Pocoel Source of Anxiety. “In a climate like that of London,” says Mr. Pocock, “animals in captivity | must always be a source of anxlety, | and the wonder to me is that they live | 80 healthily. Most people, for some reason, appear to think that animals should never be {l], but that of course is absurd. My experience is that the | ‘weather affects them to precisely the same extent that it does human be- ings.' Fog proves most depressing to | all the Zoo inhabitants, while dry, sunny weather cheers them up and| their happiness is undoubted. Mortality At the Zoo. | “When you see a big lot of deaths recorded in the newspapers, you will note precisely the same mortality rate at the Zoo. Our birds with a cover- | ing of feathers, are, on the whole,| very much abler to withstand cold and exposure than beasts' protected by hair. You can keep tropical parrots in the open all the year round with comparative ecase, and although you can do the same with a good many tropical animals covered with hair, | you are never sure that what applies | . to one member of the spccles will ap- | ply equally well to others.” ‘ Mr. Pocock does not belleve that | wild animals ever make good pets. “No wild animals, In my opinion,” he says, “can be relied on as a pet. Man | already has domesticated practically all that can be domesticated.” Best Butter, 65c Ib. Russell Bros. ! tain —advt.
