The man on whom falls the burden
of the work at the show is Mr.. Parkin-

Mr.. Parkinson's duties will consist of
arranging the birds as they come in
so that there will be no confusion in
the property of the various owners
and so that each bird will go directly
back to the owner after the show is

Naturally, he is responsible for
every bird in the show; also his duties
will be that of answering approx

Needless to say the superintendent

the show, and Mr.. Parkinson, too, is
filling this position for the second

SEA MONSTER IN MeTHUseLAH's
CLASS;
Said to Be More Than One Hundred
and Fifty Years Old.

and Fifty Years Old.
If Methuselah We're alive today he
might feel something in common with
the sea COW which is at present being
exhibited at 61O-612 Canal street. On
account of the thickness of its skin the
animal is estimated to be between $50
and 200 years old. 1t was brought to
the city Monday from Shreveport,
where it had been on exhibition at the
state fair.
The creature is eleven feet and four
inches long. and weighs 1910 pounds,
and despite its years, is enjoying the
best of health.
This species of the sea COW, also
known as the Sirenian or Manatee,
was captured in July off the coast of
Point Isabel, near Brownsville, Texas.
The fishermen of this region noticed
for some time a peculiar looking ami
NAL in the waters thereabout, and d
number of seines belonging to the sea-
faring men were ruined through COM
ing in contact with this monster.
After several attempts to land the
animal on the beach, the fishermen
finally succeeded in capturing him,
thirty-two seines and ninety-two men
being needed to accomplish the feat.
The creature destroyed the first two
tanuks which were provided for him
