has invented several very graceful and
fetching touches that are sure to draw

Mile. Jennie is young In the business. but

through the bars of a cage about two years
ago, when her mother was gladdening the
hearts Of the Inhabitants of an inland city
as a part Of the Forepaugh show. The
young lady was snugly established at the
Zoo on Tuesday.
Besides being clever with her voice and
feet Mile. Jennie is a humorist. There are
those who, unacGuainted with the methods
Of rhinoceriaR wit. might mistake her jokes
and Quips for walls Of woe. but hers is a
subtle sort of humor that steals gently over
one and leaves a most lasting impression.

George is very bibulous creature It Is
probable that IL he were a householder in
this city he would be arrested for wasting
the Potomac water. The only stipulat ton
that he makes about the water that is fur
nished him Is that it should be voluminous.
When the tank was filled the other day he
went down the three steps most cautiously.
Finally he slipped and sprawled with a
thud that made the building vibrate. He
plunged his head under the stream Of water
that was filling the tank and gloried in it's
refreshing GOODNESS. When the level was
high enough he went clear under and
arose blinking his little eyes. There was a
quiet movement of the nostrils. and the
sound of a great rush Of water. A double
column Of spray shot into the air, and the
spectators were treated to an Involuntary
shower bath.
A CapaciOus Yawn.
There Is one thing about George that
must be admired. That is his mouth. 1t is
such an enthusiastic mouth. and it unfolds
so completely! 1t is a .well-known slang ex-
preston to describe a smile as face
opening" 1t was never more true than in
the case Of this gentle representative Of the
hog family. He does indeed open his face
when he smiles, or yawns. 1t keeps on un-
folding and developing, until he has pro-
duced an aperture fully two feet. 1t would
accommodate a good-sixed setter dog.
1t must be a great satisfaction for George
to yawn. If there Is anything in the belief
that gaping Is catching. the audiences at
the Zoo will soon contract the chronic habit
Of this pleasurable jaw distention. There is
enough infection in Georges yawn to fur
nish the entire city Of Washington with
gapes for year.
One of the most remarkable features Of
this pretty creature is his dental furniture

great tusks that fit into each other in

liberated tooth-one of his molars. 1t made
him very irritable, and affected his eyes so
that there was danger of his going blind

1t was accomplished without much trouble
The man provided himself with a pair of
blacksmiths' tongs. and had one of the
keepers lure George to open his mouth by

the morsel. Then the man with the tongs
got good grip on the molar and held on

about Georges backing. and on this occa-
sion it was a bit more definite than ever

across the floor of the cage; then the tooth
gave way, and George kept on backing,

Jennie did not take any interest in the

time. Owing to the limits Of her cage she
could not turn around easily, so when her
attention was directed to the gap by means
of a broom and several sharp prods she

Greeted by Old Residents.
One Of the most amusing incidents Of
the transfer the other day was the be-
havior of the parrots and mackaws. The
latter. being nearer the door, had a clear
view of all the operations at the entrance
and watched the proceedings with great
interest. AS each time the transfer box
was brought into the building containing a
lion or a tiger or a hyena, the gorgeous
birds would stop pluming themselves and
would erect their combs and greet the new
conner with a dignified 'Hellov'
This solemn welcome was rendered to
every animal that was dragged past their
cage. The negroes that were carrying the
boxes were startled at first by these sepul-
chral tones emitting from the atmosphere
but when they were explained the men took
great deal of interest in the remarks of
the mackaws. The smaller green parrots

At this place her brother was secretary

Mile. Jennie wen. into her new quarters
on Tuesday with very good grace. She has
been growing for the past two years with
vigor that has gladdened the hearts of

The transfer took place In a huge box
built OF inch planking bound with iron that
had to be specially prepared. In each end
was sliding door. The box was about
eight feet long by five square. and itself
weighed several hundred pounds. 1t was

was cautiously opened. The slide was drawn

King George In His Tank.
This was the most difficult Of all the
transfers on Tuesday. The process was
started by backing the hippopotamus wagon
up to the outside of the building, against
the outer door Of the tank cage that had
been prepared, and then waiting for King
George to transfer himself

opened and he was invited to walk into a

was once a period of a year that George
did rot turn around. 1t Is not because he
has any Discrimination to turning. but that
he and his wagon did not fit.
Like Mile. Jennie, George was lured into
the tank cage by means of bits Of bread.
Several loaves were used for this purpose.
The only thing to be done was to simply
wait for George to move. OF course he
might have been noosed, as the lions were
later, but there was not power enough
within sight to bulge him after he had been
looped.

Then the eighteen big negroes tugged and
strained and wiggled the box, with its
ponderous contents. around the corner of
the entrance. Fortunately the distance to
the cage was short, for 1t Is number one in
the list. and in a minute or two The poor
infant pachyderm had arrived at her des-

In q moment she had dashed over the
space between the doors and was inside
the cage. The bars were dropped quickly
and Mile. Jennie trod the boards of Wash

There was little hay in the cage when
she was inserted, so the floor was bare
and her long toe nails made great clatter.
She turned slowly about. surveyed the
vast place with establishment, and then re-
