4 former employe OF the Barnum &

days with reporter for the Chicago
Inter Ocean, said that when the elephant
Jumbo died, and it was decided to save
the skin and bones for scientific pur-
poses, the work of cutting up the flesh
OF the immense beast was an arduous
one, but resulted in many queer dis
coveries. In the stomach of the ee-
phant, for instance, were found a collec.
ton Of coins in which many OF the for
eign countries were represented. There
were French francs, German marks,
Austrian thalers, English shillings, pence
and farthings, and American half-dol-
lars, quarters, dimes and nickels. The
CONS are supposed to have been handed
to the elephant from time to time by
spectators, when he would swallow
them. Among the other contents OF his
paunch was an English policeman's
whistle.
