A Neurasthenic Tiger at the End of Meal in the
Artificial Jungle. His Condition Improved In

it will doubtless be followed by other
animal men.
The circus lost so many valuable
animals every year through mos
talgia" or inconsistencies that Mr. Pat.
terson made a very thorough study
of the disease. and finally decided
that the only practicable way to deal
with it was to construct artificial
jungIes for jungle animals who be
came thus afflicted.
One of the first animals to become
seriously affected in this way when
the circus menagerie went into Win
ter quarters at Bridgeport Conn,
was Prince, four-year-old lion.
Prince had been regarded as one of
the most contented of the wild beasts
owned by the circus until early last
Fall. Then the management noticed
that his nature had undergone com
plete change.
Mr. Patterson spent many sleep
less nights himself worrying over
Princes condition, and his alarm
was increased when he found that
the powerful beast was down on his
feed" was losing weight, and becom-
ing more nervous and restless every
day. He diagnosed the case as mos
talgia." Prince was pining for his
native jungle.
1t was decided to transfer the hon
from his cage to the artificial jungle,
which had been prepared for the re-
ception of animals thus afflicted.
This artificial jungle covered an
area of perhaps half an acre. 1t was
a careful reproduction of jungle con
ditions, as exact as skilled gardeners
could make it with brush and trees
obtained from Florida and the South
American jungle.
To make the illusion more effective
Abyssinian natives were used to
handle the beasts instead of the
white keepers and porters who,
usually do the work.
Instead of obnoxious bars the es-
cape of the animals was prevented
for the most part by deep trenches,
and in some places by real trees
planted so close together that it was
quite out of the question for the ami
mails to penetrate them. Where bars
were used they were so covered with
foliage that their real nature was per
fectly concealed.
When Prince was led into this arti-
fetal jungle change come over him

around listlessly for while until he

VvYHAT to do with a wild beast

W homesick and pines for his

most perplexing problems which con-

scription, of course, would be to

but such course would not only
prove very expensive, but might
mean the loss of the animal alto
gether.
A new solution of the problem has
been worked out, however, by John
Patterson, superintendent of the
Barnum & Bailey circus menagerie,
and it has proven so successful that

came to what he regarded as his
legitimate prey. Through dense
hedge at one side of the enclosure he
discerned the head of zebra.
In the circus-menagerie the zebras
are usually located very near to the
lions cages. Prince had often
smelled them, but this was probably
the first time since he left his native
jungle that he had had an oppor
tunity to come upon one in the open
lie advanced stealthily toward the
hedge, and as he came within range
he crouched for a spring.
1t was all over in moment. With
his tail streaming straight out be
hind him Prince sailed through the
air and pounced upon the Zebra's
head and dragged it to the ground.
He may have been surprised to find
that it was only a head which stood
out so realistically from the hedge,
but he was so busy the next few
moments tearing it to pieces that ne
probably had no time for such refiec-
tions AS matter of fact of course,
the head had been put there by Pat
terson to make the lion feel perfectly
at home. A zebra had died the day
before, and its body had been fed to
the lions. but the head had been re
tanned for this purpose.
In addition TO the Zebra's head
Prince was given his usual amount
of beef, and when his meal was com
pleted he picked out quiet nook in
the jungle and enjoyed several hours
sleep-the first real sleep he had
had for many days.
Photographs were taken of Princes

Some of them are shown on this
page The hon was allowed to re-
main in the Jungle" for a week, at
the end of which period he had not
only regained all the weight he had
lost, but was so improved in general
disposition that Mr. Patterson had
no hesitation in transferring him to
his cage again.
A day or two later it was found
necessary to give a tigress a similar
change of scene, and the experiment
was again successful.
In the case OF the monkeys. the

cause there was no way of prevent
ing these agile beasts from escaping.
AS a matter of fact, although chin
panzees and other big apes are more
apt to suffer from melancholia and
inconsistencies than almost any other
wild animal, they can usually be
brought around by association with
others of their kind or with human
beings. For this reason all the en-
ployes of this menagerie are ex-
pected to devote good deal of time
amusing the monkeys, and some very
close friendships have resulted

Double Dealing.
What suDterfuge there is in the
above quotation of Helgeson's article.
OF course, the Lever bill would not
be endorsed by Mr.. Manahan as it
came to the committee. The farm.
ers' committee got the bill amended
to suit them before either they or
Manahan endorsed it.
Manahan's Bill.
The bill that Young and Helges0n
say they don't want was amended by
the hand of Jim Manahan, and is to.
day more Manahan's bill than Levers
bill Lever never changed the bill.
Malahan did,, Helgeson says the Ma.
tional Society, will not endorse the
bill. If Helgeson and Young were as
attentive to the wants of the farm.
ers when the farmers committee was
in Washington and needed their help,
as they are now, when they need the
farmers votes they would know that
Mr.. Chryst president of the National
Society of Equity, was with Manahan
and myself in Mr.. Levers Office and
helped to make the bill what it is.
Masterpiece Of Evasion.
Helgeson's article is a masterpiece
Of evasion. He says:
Lotus will not endorse the bill as
it came to the committee. The so
ciety will not endorse the bill as it
came to the committee" Manahan,
