Breeding Lions In CAPTIVITY.

For years back within the classic pre-
cincts Of Phoenix park the authorities
of the Dublin zoo have been breeding
lions at a rate that has been touched
by no other menagerie in the world.
The climate Of Ireland, which Is SO
inimical to poisonous reptiles, seems to
benefit the raging lion Of the Nubian
deserts to such marvellous extent that
he actually thrives better in the open
air within smelling distance of the riv-
er Liffey than he is accustomed to do
in his native Africa. For some mystic
riOus reason these animals flourish and
breed in the Dublin zoo.
