A bulletin from the National Geo

of the amazing changes that. have
recently been made in these popu
lar, educational Institutions. "
"The Province of Quebec's new
collection of Canadian birds and
wild animals revels In a distinct
ly Norman atmosphere," says 'the
bulletin. "The zoological gardens
recently opened to the public at
Salnt-Plerre-de-Cbarlesbourg, about
seven miles north of Quebec, con
tain a picturesque reproduction of
an Eighteenth century French Ca
nadian village. A 'windmill, all the
buildings that house animals, and
a quaint stone bridge that leads
visitors to the gardens, are of Nor
man architecture.

prosaic signs, gaily decorated leg

In Washington, many of the ani

those of their original haunts.
Wolves howl from rock dens and
goats climb a mock mountain peak.

backgrounds colorful as a stage

In artificial sunlight made by ultra
violet lamps.

Old Lifeguard of Seine ..

Its remaining picturesque charac
ters recently when Father Chattier,
as every one calls him, caught a
cramp and nearly drowned la the
Seine. r . '
Father Chartler Is Paris' unoffi
cial lifeguard. All passers who have
occasion to cross the Pont St Mi
chel regularly know bis little boat,
moored to its quays. It carries a
blue pennant on the one small mast,
with the white lettering, "Volunteer
Lifeguard." i'

from the treacherous and swiftly
Bowing waters of he Seine more
than 100 persons.:.' He has 40 life
saving medals. He made his 'first
rescue when he was thirteen. That
makes 49 years he has been a Ufa
saver. He is sixty-two now.
in 'Liquor laxes
smuggling Is laid In large measure
to understandings reached between
this and other governments : on
means to bait ttye flow of illicit
liquor. , .'
' Cuba, source of a vast share of
the untaxed liquor which has been
pouring Into the United States, was
prevailed upon to put an 'embargo
on exportation of alcohol destined,
for Illicit traffic. Newfoundland a
short time later took similar steps
to regulate her ports and the
French . government - closed St
Pierre et Mlquelon, a French colony
off the Newfoundland : coast, as a
liquor supply center. ;. '.
Besides the coast guard has suc
ceeded In all but breaking up the
new rum row off the Atlantic coast
On a basis of $2 tax per gallon,
officials estimated 6,053,328 gallons
of alcohol,' worth at retail close to
$60,000,000, was withdrawn from
bonded warehouses last month for
consumption. This compares with
8.70&23T gallons withdrawn In the
same period a year ago.
Chinese Officials Order
Machine Strangulation
Pelplng. Provincial police an
thorltlea are Instructed to execute
criminals with strangulation ma
chines In an order Issued by the
Chinese Ministry of Justice. ' .
The penal code provides strangu
lation as the means of carrying out
death sentences, but np to the pres
ent it has been done by two men
twisting a cord about the neck of
tbe convict
Such a method is declared less
humane than the prescribed "ma
chine, which, however, will work
on the same principle of strangula
tion. In order .to lessen the shock to
the victim, the ministry further
prescribes that the culprit be
chloroformed prior to carrying out
of the death sentence.
Authorities In most places con
tinue, however, to execute some
prisoners by the simple expedient
of a revolver placed against the
base of tbe skull of the kneeling
'victim.
