SKUNK BURDENS
BOSS OF BIG ZOO
Curator of Bronx Gardens
Doesn't Know What to Do
With Animals He Borrowed
New York. Feb. 4.—Does anybody
want a good, tame specimen of the
Mephitis mephitica? Raymond L.
Ditmars, curator of the Bronx Zoo,
has one he wants, oh so badly, to get
rid of.
The curator decided some time ago
that his exploits in nature study were
incomplete. He had finger printed
the orang-outangs, and milked the
venom from a lancehead viper, and
his neighbors had once threatened to
go to law unless he gave up the colony
of katydids that he kept in his studio.
But he had never taken a motion pic
ture of a genuine, wood bred skunk
sit. close range. The queerest part of
it was that he wanted to do just that
thing.
The wood pussies at the zoo would

not do. They are old and lazy. He
searched for a real, lively pussy with
a mean disposition. At last about two
weeks ago he heard that a farmer in
Valhalla had caught one alive in a
trap. Up he went to Valhalla with
a specially constructed, airproof as
bestos box and he borrowed. the
skunk.
Back to his studio at his home in
Scarsdale he took it. He let it out in
the studio and then he buried the
box. He spent three days getting on
friendly terms with little Mephitis and
the creature got to know him so well
that at last he brought his camera
and a supply of formaldehyde into the
room and left with a unique lilm of
a genuine rip-roaring wood pussy in
war manoeuvers.
Then came the problem of getting
the skunk back. Mr. Ditmars built a
bombproof trap and set it in the
studio. Mr. Skunk consented to enter
it and yesterday morning oft for Val
halla went Mr. Ditmars.
"Here's your skunk back, and I
can't say how deeply grateful I am
for the loan," he told the farmer.
The farmer reached for a rake. "If
you let that unholy beast loose within
ISO miles of Valhalla station I'll sue
you''' he shouted.
Mr. Ditmars, dumbfounded, took
little Mephitis back to Scarsdale. He
can't give it to the zoo. He admits
that there wouldn't be a man, woman
or child within ten miles of the park
if he did. And when this story comes
out he fears that his neighbors at
Scarsdale will organize a Klu Klux 1
Klan or else cancel their leases.
Anybody who will give little Meph- !
itis a good home can have him on ap- j
plication at the curator's office.
