A GREAT FUN MAKER.
Tho Mig West India Seal. Now starring
ut the Aquarium.

Easily continuing to be the star attraction
at the Aquarium il the big West Indian
seal that squirts water on the unsuspecting
to the rapturous enjoyment OF those who
know It's tricks Tho big seal appears clearly
TO have increased In intelligence by Its
enforced association. In captivity. with
tho human kind. This Ia shown by lts gem
eral conduct its coming when called, az q
dog does, and 90 on; and 1t grows siyer
and slyer all the time.
II used TO rely mainly for success In hit
ting its object upon unexpectedness ana
suddenness of attack; to these methods
It has now added what appears TO be delib-
crate deception. Aiming at and seeming
about to discharge a stream OF water at
one person 1t will suddenly shift its aim and
fire at another.
The only thing to do, as those familiar
with the seals antics very well know, is TO
stand back when the seal raises It's head.
But those unfamiliar with the seals ways
don't do that, and sometimes when man
has been wet he Is so fustered, or 40 occu-
pied with drying himself that he doesn't
stand back far enough even then, and
gets wet a second time. This happened To
a man one day last week.
This visitor, a stranger to the Aquarium.
who evidently had never heard OF the
seal stood looking down at the big fellow,
swimming smoothly and silently around,
with great interest. Pretty much every
body else drew back, but this visitor re-
NAMED and presently, on one OF its turns,
the big seal lifted its head quietly above
the surface Of the pool and discharged
q stream Of water square in this mans
face
Then the man jumped back, as they oil
do, but only step; and bending forward
he held his face down TO let the water run
of, while he felt for his handkerchief.
And while he was drying and wipng his
face with his head and body still bent for
ward toward the pool the great seal, COM
ing silently around again, raised its head
above the water once more and threw
stream Of water. this time squarely down
the back Of the mans neck. And then the
onlookers did exploded
There are signs on the pool gathering
visitors, and the attendants add t.yir
warnings; but strange visitors either don't
realize what II all means. or they don't
like To be tcld what To do, seeming To think
that they are able to look out for them
selves. Almost invariably the victims
take their wetting down with real or a.
sumed good humor; and after being thus
initiated they take their place with the
throng always found watching the seal.
