THE UBIQUITOUS SEA LION
He Strayed a Long Way From Home
Before He Was Killed.

6erore he was NliIeds
The following story is taken from
the American Magazine:
Sunday is a dull day, and the city
editors had a habit of detailing men to
go to the geological gardens and get
animal stories for Monday morning
The reporters got together one Sunday
morning and persuaded the head ami
NAL keeper to let them publish a fake
story. 1t was rather commonplace
concerning the alleged escape Of non
existent sea lion from the pool to open
water.
"'Fake.' said the managing editor rs
he read the story. Let's make it Il
good one
"ThereupOn he sent kilograms to e.
cry country correspondent on that wa
ter or its tributaries, merely inquirin 2
if anything had been seen Of the e.
capped sea lion. The response was aii-
palling. The correspondents needed
only the hint. That day the sea lic:
was seen by at least twenty corr
spondents, and Berghand printed all
the reports one after another. Thu.
spurred. the correspondents went to 70
in earnest. The following day the Sc
lion was reported at every point with
in 200 miles. The story spread like
ripples on water. In five days the lioa
was sighted over half the world. AMI
an enthusiast at Southampton cable :
that he was heading toward the nOuL
sea. Then a cruel correspondent up en-
Lake Superior killed him and wired
that he was sending the skin as proof
1 always suspected that the managing
editor did It himself"
