THE BABY ELEPHANT.
Intense Interest In IIle Quaker
City and Elsewhere Over
the Geological Wonder.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE
birth of the elephant at Cooper and
Bailey's circus yesterday upsets a
great many theories which scientific
men have accepted as facts of zoology
since the days Of Pliny. The chief
facts established arc that the period of
CESSATION is about twenty months
Twenty months and twenty days in
this case), and that heyoung does not
suckle the mother through the trunk.
as has been supposed, but through the
mouth. Hebe's (she, is o%itener
called "Baby') trainer asserts that
the other elephants of the herd
have for months been cognizant of
their companion condition, and have
exhibited every form of e~lephantine
courtesy toward her. Upon one occa-
sion, he asserts, while performing in
the ring, Hebe was about falling from
a breaking pedestal when the other
elephants rushed to the rescue, aud
actually formed with their huge
bodies a cushion against which she
fell, allowing her to glide gently to tho
ground. Whenever she called to them
theyinvariablyr ushed to her side, and
the man who would have abused her
during the past year would have been
killed by tho other members of the
herd. When the circus was On the
road Hebe was kept in the rear, aud
she was on one occasion actually pre-
vented from crossing a bridge that was
feared to be unsound until one of the
! old males had gone ahead and trum-
peted back that The Baby might
\ follow with safety. These and many
other interesting facts ola more strict
ly scientific nature arc given out
to-day by the keeper of the ele-
plant, Mr., Stuart Craven, and the
manager Of the circus. The frank
ness OF Colonel 7. r. Toole, the bust
ness agent, in saying that the infant
will prove the greatest advertising
card the circus ever had is already in
a way of veri6cation. He has been in
receipt of kilograms to-day from all
parts OF the United States from prom.
inent scientific men who declare their
intention to visit Philadelphia at once
to behold the curiosity. Among others
who telegraphed to this effect we're DR..
Boyd, Q distinguished professor of
Chicago; DR.. Muzzy, Of Cincinnati,
and physicians Of ST. Louis and other
western cities, All the illustrated
papers have sent their artists to make
sketches of the wonder, and the circus
people are besieged with applicants
who just want to get q peep at it.
