Professor Doremus has devoted his great
skill as Q chemist to Q study OF the diet Of
Barnum's baby elephant. He has analysed
the milk Of the monster mother, and he
p~ronouncss 1t exceedingly rich and very

appears that the baby elephant has a diet
Of cream, q discovery which is not likely
to destroy the value OF Attorney herds,
for however rich and sweet elephants

milking an eleghat is q difficult feat. 1t
took several attempts to secure
enough Of the milk for the purpose
Of analysis. As the daily diet OF the
beast consists Of three pecks OF oats, half q

a dozen losves of bread and other dainty
dishes, the whole washed down with
gallons OF water, Professor Doremus
