THE ELEPHANT sNEEzED.
[Baitimore News.l

" .
Jolly, the Zoo elephant, sneezed this
morning and all the Zoo attendants
took a vacation to laugh. The ele-
plant sneezes only about once in five
years. When he sneezes 1t is an omen
of prosperity. indicating abundant
crops and great commercial activity.
The phenomenon itself forms an inter-
esting spectacle. This morning every
thing was quiet in the Zoo. when some
body shouted to Lecturer Rollins:
Look out, the elephant is going to
aneeze!"
All the attendants deserted their
posts and ran to look. Jolly had drawn
up his sides until his back was bumped.
His tail was stlftiy horizontal. His
mouth was open and his eyes We're
shut while great tears the size of pea
nuts rolled down his leatherly face.
There was a great drawing up OF the
sides. a long continued CONFUSION, a
trembling of the floor and then an ex-
plosion like the report of the Boer can
non Long Tom at Ladysmith. Half a
bucket Of water shot out in stream
toward the monkeys cage. while the
elephants legs trembled as he prepared
for second sneeze. There was rum
bling like that of an earthquake and a
volcanic crack. All the animals set ur
a roar. Dewey's cat jumped down OF
the back Of the goat and every monkey
screamed shrilly. The quagga brayed
and the kangaroo barked The leopards
snarled and Prince Tiny Mite nearly
tumbled OF his platform. jolly had
been known to sneeze only twice before
since Director General Bostock hat
loNned him s:sisl
