Gently at the London zoo. A few weeks ago
fine Honess began TO eat her own tail. In
one day she removed at her leisure about
twelve inches, and, after brief interval, she
resumed her repaSt aud swallowed some
more. She was then placed in a very mar
row box in the hope that something might be
done with the bleeding stump, and that she
might be prevented from further assault
upon herself. But she was not to be denied
The tail has almost entirely disappeared, and
she has now directed attention 10 one OF her
forepaws. II time is only allowed she may
succeed in performing the astounding feat Of
disappearing down her own throat.

decided that Tim had been stolen By some
jealous Snowman, when muffied cries for
help were heard in the curiO hall. Search
of fifteen minutes revealed Tim in the bot
tom Of Udah Files (the big footed YOUTH
