Few of the many people who visit the
Central Park menagerie know why fox
terrier is to be found i'm one or other of the
Enclosures in which the elephants are con
fined. The majority, doubtless, think there
is something almost cruel about it. AS
fact, it is fun to the terrier and a protection
to the elephant. 1t is really an eXemplfi-
cation of the fable of the lion and the
mouse. There are no greater pests in the
menagerie than the rats. These small ras-
cally rodents have found that the feet of
the elephants are excellent eating, and have
no hesitation in gnawing at them when
the animal lies down, and, owing to its
chained condition, is unable to defend itself
against its puny enemies This is particu-
larry the case with "Tip," who, owing to
his vile temper and murderous habits, has
to be securely chained.
The rats in a few nights would make this
monster perfect cripple We're it not for
"Gip," the terrier, who is always lOosened
at night, and woe betide the venturous rat
that adventures out on quest for tidbit
of elephant toe. Zip" rogue though he
is, knows his good little friend and allows
him to curl up ON the uneaten hay, close
beside his ponderous body, and when there
is a dash across the pen, followed by a
mortal squeal, takes no notice of it, except
perhaps opening one eye in a lazy way, and
then, knowing that he is safe for the night,
trumpets a small vote of thanks to his tiny
friend and gives himself up to undsturbed
slumber and dreams of Indian iungles.
Lately the rats have changed their base
of operations. 1t was found that they
were gnawing holes in the thick hide OF
the rhinoceros. Fanny" the Scotch ter
rier, who really rules the deer house, and
is one of the best ratters in the world, was
brought into requisition. She was locked
up in the mammal house, and her first
night there was one of pure JOY. Fanny
is most methOdical canine. When the
house was opened in the morning she had
pile of - rats in the middle of the floor
and was wagging a short tail in almost a
historical manner. After greeting her
master, Phil Holmes, she seemed to remem-
Der there was something else to do and
taking one of the dead rats in her mouth
she ran off to where her litter of pups
was, Just in the rear of the camel shed
She carried four there for the little ones tC
worry. For the last week Fanny has
guarded the rlIinoceros so well that not a
new bite has been seen on the animal, but
every morning there is a diminished heaT
of dead rats on the floor.
