THE ELEPHANT HANNIBAL's
SKELETON.

Thousands of persons throughout the
United States, who have gazed in Won
| der upon the colossal proportions of Van
| Amburg's famous elephant, Hannibal,
on exhibition in this country fOrty-six
years, the largest Of the species ever
brought to this country or Europe, will
be interested in the final disposal of his
bones, which, we understand, are to be
added to the geological curiosities of New
York Central Park.
Hannibal died at Centreville, Nd, in
about the ninetieth year of his age, in
May, 1865. The complete skeleton of
an elephant being very difficult to OBJ
tain, the bones are coTesPondingly val
liable, and great precautions were, in
consequence, taken to preserve those of
Hannibal, and under the charge of Al
bert Townsend, the huge carcass was
dragged to field about a mile from the
village, and large and strong mauso-
leum of masonry erected over it. There
it was suffered to remain until the flesh
had wasted away sufficiently to permit
of the removal of the bones. So great
was the mass that not until a few days
since was it thought advisable to open
the tomb.
To Mr.. Hyatt Frost, director of the
menagerie, is due the conception of the
idea of making the unique and valuable
present to the city of New York. With
in a few weeks the massive bones will
have been cleansed, transported to the
Central Park, and set up in the zoolog-
ical department, there to remain an OBJ
ject of interest to the visitors until time
causes them to crumble to dust.
