Park Animals.
Emperor il the most vicious, as he |
Is the fnest elephant in this country.
During the winter months he and his
six companions are chained by their
hind legs in an outbuilding in the Cen
tral Park. Beatswain, until the ar.
rival of Emperor. was the pride of all
the female elephants, and Gypsy es-
peclally loved to caress him with her
gentle trunk. But Boatswain once
cried out under punishment and from
that hour he lost his place in the re-
spect of his associates, and Gypsy
transferred her Establishments to the
last conner.
The device of circus men for pun
ishing an elephant is cruel. To the
legs Of the animal are fastened strong
pulleys, which are attached to levers.
At q signal the legs are drawn asun-
der, and the animal sinks down, q mass
Of helpless tortured flesh. Then the
keepers, armed with long clubs, ap:
proach and beat him on the legs and
bottoms of the feet. The elephant
during punishment curls his trunk be-
meath him, and closes his eyes. Hour
after hours goes by sometimes, but the
keepers only relax whenkhe elephant
either becomes insensible or cries out
which latter is q token of submission
and . conquered spirit. Boafswain
cried ont, and was never again guilty
of offence. Emperor, however, has
stood this terrible punishment several
times and with such extraordinary
nerve that the keepers are afraid Of
him. He is vicious, and whenever q
missile comes within his reach he dis
charges it at the nearest keeper straight
way.
On Monday night Emperor watched
one of the attendants whom he par
ticulariy dislikes, 1t was bedtime, and
the man was making everything snug
whenEmperor suddenly turned on him
and Knocked him down. The keeper
screamed, as Emperor, with q shrill
cry of rage, was on the point Of drag
ging him beneath his feet and stamp
ing him to death. Help came, and the
keeper was saved, and then it was de-
termined that Emperor should suffer
for what he had done.
The attendants took the long iron
poker with which the fires are stirred,
and this they heated red hot. Empe-
ror was then bound down in the fash
ion that has been described, and while
one of the keepers held his trunk, the
other ran the red hot poker up into it.
The savage punishment nearly blind
Cd Emperor, but he did not squeal.
He looked sullenly all the time at his
keepers. Since then the elephant has
been unable to eat, and stands alone
and sulIen, slapping his horribly mu-
tilsted trunk wherever there is a cool
spot in the shed. The men call this
the extreme punishment, and say that
it has never been applied before in
this country. 1t was not strong enough
to subdue Emperor.-[N. Y. Sun.
