OF Animals.

from The thlcago News.)
The elephants mouth Is one of the
queerest sights in the whole of the animal
kingdom. Its size alone makes 1t sufii-
GENTLY remarkable. but its construction is
more remarkable even than its size. To
begin with, it has no front teeth, for ele-
plants never eat flesh nor any other food
which requires tearing apart.
They nave only eight teeth altogether
four huge yellow molars on each side, two
above and two below. These teeth are
about two inches thick and the width of
a mans hand. Over these the animals
shift their food by means of an enormous
tongue. hung at both ends, and having
no power Of movement except in the mid
die, where it goes backward and forward,
up and down, like big wrinIled pink
serpent II is the lueerest tongue one
can possibly imagine.
Elephants, like babies, have milk teeth,
which drop out when they are about four
teen years old. These are smaller than
the permanent teeth. but they are large
for all that, Menagerie keepers sometimes
find them among the fodder and preserve
them as cUrios.
