MASSAGE FOR A RHlNocERos.
Peculiar Beauty Treatment Given AMI
NAL in Captivity.

Spoke, young rhinoceros of the
Bronx park zoo, was put into the
hands of six massage artists yester-
day for such treatment as DR.. Blair,
the zoo veterinarian, had prescribed
to Keep his skin healthy, says the
New York World. The masseurs went
at the brute with securing soaps,
pumice, and scrub brushes so coarse
that even Speke's rhinoceros hide was
penetrated. He sat up believing and
snorting that started the elephants
trumpeting and the rest of the zoo
in chorus that sounded to the mon
keys like the last awakening.
The rhino was pacified only when
a hose was turned on him and the
soap and sand washed out of his hide
An oil rub. which consumed several
gallons of linseed, finished the toilet.
It made Spekes skin shine like ebony,
and the jealous hippo, seeing himself
in the mirror of his neighbor, beheld
all his ugliness and was forced to
shed a tear.
The object of the massage was to
supply what Spoke misses by being
deprived of wallowing in mud and
marshes. Without massage and the
oil rub his hide would crack open.
