It was mo- where but on deck for that little fel- low from thence on, the wise ones having concluded they knew the game Of bringing up baby hippopotami better than the mother. The result of their care and attention was an hippopota- mi funeral, with the attendants and the old beast for the chief mourners. The next time the trainers were wiser, and when the mother took 1t under the water for 20 or 30 minutes at a time their pulses behaved in normal way and the little fellow was allowed to soak. This one grew and was sent to Cincinnati.

The physiognomy is ab- solutely brutalized, There is nothing to the face except the snout and lower jaw which Is out of all proportion to the rest of the brute's makeup. In the region of the head where mentality is commonly located, that is, above the ears and over the eyes, there is a de- precision, less than nothing. The dense- ness mentally is no less than the denseness physically--the hide being Iimperyious to bullets. No such thing as trained hippopotamus was ever known. It is the very quintessence of density, and is to the animal kingdom
