L In tbe animal house Juno occupies a •n cAgc in ihe Iowa tier against tbe north *> wall. Tlie cubs, which now weigh atout 'k fifteen pounds each, are lodged in tbe p- lower tier al tbe cut wail. This enables re Juno to have put unobstructed view of Ibeir cage. Juit before dark oo Monday evening Mr. Marvin wu leeiling the auiJ' mal*.

The approach of night made the ipterirr of tbe building dark, and no one cared to venture in — 'lhey heard Juno charging iround the plaa and tbey beailatrd.
