THE CAMEL.

OF all the animals perhaps the hippOpotam receive
the most attention from the public. The iron railing
round their summer home IS always crowded ana as
each one shows It's head above the water there IS a
hum Of voices all round and always loudest when
Fatna, the baby. appears and shakes its any ears
tiny at least as far the rest Of the body IS con-
ceIned. But there is veritable Joy should "OaIlph
or Miss Murphy" cOndescend to notice the willing
oferers of food and open their pOnderous Jaws. The
accompanying cut gives an excellent view OF what IS
the open mouth OF a hippopotamus. While on the
subject Of the hippOpCamus, the birth of Fatlma has
not been made so much Of one would expect. Some
five years ago another hippo born in captivity came
into existence at the Geological SOcety's garden, Lon
dom and that Royal Society presented to the superin-
tendent gold medal In recognition Of the e"' % bod
taken of thA animals.
