Animals nm the Sea.

A scientist has made many interest
ing observations on the behavior Of
wild animals aboard ship. Those
species whom one should naturally
think would not object to a sea voy-
age are the most restless. The polar
bear, he says, is the only one that
takes to the sea, and is quite jolly
when aboard ship. III others violent
~ resent trip on water, and vocifer-
ously give vent to their feeling until
seasickness brings silence. The tiger
whines, his eyes water continually, and
he rubs his stomach with his terrible
paws. Horses are very bad sailors and
often perish on a sea voyage. Oxen
are heroic in their attempts not to give
way to sickness. Elephants do not
like the sea, but they are amenable to
medical treatment. A good remedy is
a bucketful Of hot water containing
three and half pints OF whisky and
seven ounces of Quinine.

his joy, and especially when the clown
swallowed a carrot or string of sau-
sages he would laugh SO outrageously
that the lovely princess by his side
would have to say. Ny gracious. mon
arch. do compose yourselfv And he
continued to laugh and at tie very
smallest farces as long as his poor wits
were left him.
So frequent were Georges visits to
the tleater that This face was the most
