ELEPHANT, 2ISVBRS OLD,
WITH RUGS' CIRCUS
Aged Animal is Still Active and
Big Feature of the
Menagerie
The Kingliiigs have an interesting
family oi giraffes. -This curious ani
mal lg becoming more of a rarity
each year und It will not be long be
iore it becomes extinct.
The giraffe lias no vocal orgaus an 1
can utter no sound, it can go longer
thau a camel without iood and water,
lu fact, it preleia at times to go for
dayg without water, getting its
moistuie from the dump mosses on
the trunks of Jungle treeß. Giraffes
are found in the forest belt that itugs
the equator in Africa. Hunters have
driven them so fur into the impene
trable Jungle that only occasionally
n. one found. There is great danger
of killing them lu trying to capture
them, and of those tiiat are shipped
the majority die on the sea voyage.
So it may be seen’ why this strange
animal is missing from most of tho
city zoos.
Another attractive exhibit In the
annual department is an elephant,
Jeuuiu, which on April a celeprated
its 216th birthday. She is still active.

a grand opera chorus, t>UU horses and
a trainload oi special scenery, stage
