How many people who have stood

watching several noble specimens OF
the lion family as they paced restless
ly up and down their narrow cell or
lay at ease gazing listlessly at the cur
ious spectators. have been interested
enough to pursue their investigation

various markings of the animals, as

the great animals meant?

men who come in contact with them,

Care When Angry.
Lions, like human beings, have their
moods too. and lovers of the animals
declare that they can tell by looking
in the faces of the lions just what
these moods are. When it is remem-
bered that the lives of the trainers
would be placed in jeopardy by ven
turing too close to the beasts at a
time when they are in an angry frame
of mind. it is not to be wondered at
that these men should study the lions.

servers will not be able to recognize
the characteristics of the animals

however, any change in the moods
of the animals as revealed in the eX-
preston of their faces will be plainly
visible.
Ringing Talks.
On this subject of the character of
lions, one of the famous Ringlings re-
lated some interesting facts the other
day in a newspaper interview.
The lion is one of the finest sub

other parts, as we can easily see
how invaluable his services are to
the Company. With regards to
Sonora, from an engineering
standpoint for the Orient to take
in, Capt. Wilmington has informed
the company, that it is practice
able, so why should this to-be.

this work? Besides, while Sonora
regrets to lose Capt. Millington,
with whom so many are acquaint-
