LOOKS LIKE A RAINBOW
Vari-CoIored MandriH With Barnum
& Bailey.

The only black-faced African man
drill in the show business has cast
its lot with the Barnum & Bailey
greatest show on earth. 1t must not
be supposed because this odd speci-
men has a black face it is all black.
Its makeup embraces all the colors
and blending of the rainbow, with
a few tints thrown in that are found
nowhere else unless, possibly, upon
an artists palette. When il prances
around its cage. displaying its various
hues, it reminds one of newspapers
Sunday supplement blowing in the
wind. 1t is a very rare animal-the
first one ever seen in America.
When the big circus comes to Mo-
line on Thursday, July 81, it will
give the city its first glimpse of a
baby giraffe. It's name is Bumbino.
which is the Italian for Boy" 1t
made its appearance all Unexpectedly
in the winter quarters of the show
at Bridgeport, Conn, late in the
spring. No wonder it was not ex-
pected, as it is the first time the
stork of giraffeland has ever flown to
America. Over so years ago in Eng
land the first giraffe ever born in
captivity put in its appearance in the
London zoo, but it died in an hour.
For many years after that happy
event scientific giraffe hunters and
animal breeders spent fortunes in
vain attempts to coax the stOTk to
return. Efforts were soon abandon
ed, however, and the birth of a Cir
affe was looked upon as an event al
most impossible outside Of the At
rican jungle.
This little surprise package is
worth its weight in gold With the
exception of the baby giraffe of 80
years ago it is the only giraffe not
full grown ever seen in the marts of
civilization. 1t is. therefore, a price
less curiosity. Its mother is % feet
IN height. BumbinO's mother cost
the management $4,000. Uncle
John is worth S12. 900 and Aunt Ann
is quite as expensive. Baby Bum
bino is worth more than the rest of
the family. with few elephants,
chimpanzees and other expensive an
imals thrown in. According to rec
ords, history will not repeat itself
for another % years at least, so here
is the only opportunity the present
generation has of seeing a giraffe
three feet tall. And there are a great
many other things in the menagerie
of the rarest interest. There are 40
elephants, 80 camels, droves of cur
ious cattle. yaks and llamas, herds of
zebras, every variety of the deer, bear
cat and monkey tribes, zebus, nyI-
ghaus, guns, Wax, vaarks, pOrcu-
pines, tapirs, ant-eaters. ostriches,
emus, kangarOos, kyenas horned
horses, hippopOtami, rhinoceri or
ang-outangs. water buffalo, caribous,
seals, sealions, pecaries and wart
hogs.
