diagnosis. But he could not discover
any reason to which either the animals
Dad temper or lameness could be at
trlouted, since big Tom" appeared to
De enjoying the best of health
The keeper, however, observed that
the animal was lame in his legs, and
also that his toeuails had grown to an
unusual extent. It.then occurred to the
man that possibly the animals crippled
cohdltlon was due to the abnormal size
or his toenails. If such were the case
then the pain Big Tom" endured while
walking would be excruciating and
would account for his display of bad
temper. The keeper thereupon decided
to cut and trim the creatures nails as
even If the operation did not cure the
malady, 1t would at any rate do no
harm. Had Big Tom" been roaming
about in his native jungle, blowing and
plodding in the heavy, rough soil, the
nails would have been kept down to
their proper size, but as he was de-
prived of these natural means of CHR
opody, then the same result would have
to be accomplished by artificial means.
But the task was not so easy as If
appeared from a cursory glance. The
keeper realized that the work would
nave to be carried out with consum-
mate skill, If the result were to be ot-
tended with satisfactory success. To
insure this end, a special set of tools
were prepared. This peculiar chiropody
outfit comprised a saw, chisel. sharn
knife, coarse rasp, sandpaper and
smooth poiishers, all specially manu-
factured for the operation.
The elephants legs We're secured TO
the ground by means of chains to pre-
vent movement, but otherwise big
Tom" was left entirely free, since as
the nails are of hard horn no pain
would be experienced in the actual cut |
ting, though as the flesh around the
nails had become inflamed and tender |

1t was feared that the creature might
strongly emphasize its disapproyal of
the operation by dealing its keeper Il
powerful blow with its trunk. Despite
this possibility, however, no interfer-
ence was made with regard to the free
dom of the animals trunk. Subsequent
events proved that all qualms on this
point were grOundless.
The saw was first utilized To cut
away large quantity of superfiuous
nail, and this tool was followed by the
chisel, which removed the portions in

first appeared a trifle fidgety, but dis

ed to the credulous with becoming
gravity. These pretended prophecies
are reminders of the pagan past, when
the gods took an intimate and respect
full interest in the fate of kings. Por-
tents were seen in the skies warning
men that something dire was about to
happen to his Majesty, and when he
died earthquakes and storms testified
to the sympathy of nature with an
event so tremendous. Those were the
days when king was n king and very
tew had any doubt of his divine ap-
pointment to office. Now only the sort
or minds capable of crediting gypsy
prophets can look upon monarchy as a
heavenly institution. Peoples no longer
exist for their kings, but kings for their
peoples. The old-fashioned despot is
the dodo of politics. Respecting those
Vesugial remnants of the superstitious
past, the prophets, it is obvious that
their self-denial is even more wonder
full than their powers. 1t perhaps has
not occurred to those who still take
them seriously that If there existed
class of men capable of foretelling the
date of kings death months or years
In advance of its occurrence little
things like the outcome of horse races
and the ups and downs of the stock
market would be as clear as print to
them. In that case, of course, they
would soon own the wealth of the
earth. But as prophets-gypsies. as
trologers, clairvoyants and the rest
are never billionaires, it follows either
that they are frauds or the most un-
selfish beings in generally selfish
world.

When the task was completely
achieved. the elephant was released
from its fetters, and to the unbounded
delight of his keeper, Big Toms"
lameness had completely disappeared,
and his quondam good temper had re-

Gently undertaken in the arena of a
well-known travelling circus before a
few privileged spectators. The creature
on this occasion was q hippopotamus
and the complaint was that some of his
teeth had grown to such an abnormal
length that it was only with consider
able difficulty and pain that the brute
could masticate his food. Few crea-
lures are so valuable to the travelling
Snowman as the hippopotamus. These
animals are neither so plentiful nor so
easily caught as the elephant, and as
they seldom thrive in captivity they
are, therefore, most highly priced by
their fortunate proprietors.
The particular hippopotamus upon
whom this unique dental operation was
performed is an unusually fine speci-

sobriquet, when it is remembered that
he turns the scale at just under two

HOW SQUARE YARD OF NEW SKIN WAS GRAFTED ON

Babe has an unusually finely devel-
oped set of teeth, numbering twenty.
eight in all. Among these are two very
prominent teeth, properly called tusks,
growing out of the lower jaw. They
start in a vertical direction, but bend
In backward, graceful curve. They
are two OF the most useful teeth to the
hippopotamus, being reqaisitioned by
the animal for tearing up the trees and
bushes upon which 1t thrves, since II
is purely herbaceous animal.
Under normal conditions these tusks
grow to about six inches in length. The
rough work to which they are subject.
ed by the creature when roaming
through the forests in quest of food
prevents them from growing to very
great length. But in the luxurious res.

hard chewing to do. Therefore. they
grow to such length that if not cut
