The Big Elephant Doeen't Avail Himself OF
HIS Last Chsne- for I.ife.
Yesterday was bad day for Tip. the man
killing elephant In Central Park. The big
fellow was examined by two experts on ele-
plants and their reports were against him.
Charles Hagenbeek. the animal trainer. visited
the elephant house and put Tip through .

his movements. and ventured as close to his
stall as was prudent He said that Tip would

death warrant. He detailed TIPS crimes.

Old New Orleans.

Let us turn back to the French mar
ket. For there is beautiful, quaint old
Jackson Square, and behind it the
twin spires of ST. Louis Cathedral, both
of them just where Bienville staked
out the ground for them a hundred
and seyenty-hve years ago. He called
the square (and it was so called for
more than century, the Place
d'Armes. The plan was for six streets
to run behind the square parallel with
the river bank, with six crossing them
at right angles on the squares left, and
six others doing the same on its right,
the whole having The levee in front
and n wall of earth and palisades on
the other three sides. Certain streets
even yet show by their names where
this old wall and its moat were,-
Canal street, Rampant Esplanade, ::
making what is still called the "yieux
carre," the old square. This is but
Il slender fraction of the present Creole
New Orleans below Canal street; but
il is the old, the HISTORIC Creole Quar-
ter; and there was not much more
than this even when Claiborne, the
young Nir9inian, was the first govern

windows still look out upon the old

to drive back the British invader. Now
the long, thin city stretches up and
down the bends of its river-harbor
twelve miles and more, and promises
ere long to have a quarter of a million

Just behind the ayieux carre," and

FLetT-FOOTeO ZSBRAS.
Their Dash of Speed when Alarmed by
the Whiz of a R!he Ball.

The rapidity with which the differ
ent zebras have been extermnated,
owing to the advance of civilization in
South Africa, is shown By reference to
such works as that of Sir CORVALLIS
Harris, written in 1910. in which the
author tells US that the quagga was at
that time found in "interminable
herds, bands of many hundreds being
frequently seen, while he describes
Burchelfs zebra as cOngreoating in
herds of eighty or one hundred, and
Astounding TO great extent; but now,
after the expiration of but fifty years,
the one species is extinct or practical
ly so, while the other has been driven
much farther afield and its number
are yearly being reduced.
This authors description of the COM
mon zebra is well worth repeating. He
says: Seeking the widest and most
sequestered spots, naughty troops are
exceedingly difficult to approach, as
we'll on account of their extreme aoil-
ity and fleetness of foot as from the
abrupt aud inaccessible nature of their
highland abode.
Under the special charge OF sem
tinel, so posted on some adjacent crag
as to command a view of every ave-
nue. of approach, the checkered herd
whom painted skins adorn' is to be
viewed pcrambulatin@ some rocky
ledge, on which the rifle ball alone can
reach them.
No sooner has the note of alarm
been sounded by the vidette than,
pricking their long ears. the whole
flock hurry forward to ascertain the
nature of the approaching danger,
and, having gazed moment at the
advancing hunter, whisking their briu-
died tails aloft, helter-skelter away
they thunder, down craggy precipices
and over yawning ravines, where no
less agile foot could dare to follow
them"
Of Burchelps zebra, he says; Fierce,
strong, fleet, and surprisingly beauti-
full, there is perhaps no quadruped i'll
the creation, not even excepting the
mountain zebra, more splendidlv at
tired or presenting picture Of more
singularly attractive beauty" Zebras
are by no means amiahle animals, and
though many of the stories told Of
their ferocity are doubtless much ex-
aggerated. they have so far not proved
themselves amenable to domestication.
