OF which were chewed beyond recog-
milton before they could be rescued.
One Of the funniest mistakes a gi-
raffe ever made-funny for lookers-on,
that is to say-was when a peacock
strolled into its paddock. The pea
cocks tail caught the giraffe's eye, and
evidently the animal mistook it for a
gigantic and luXuriant species of flow
er. At any rate. before any one could
interfere down came the giraffe's long
neck, and. seizing the peacock by the
tail, he hoisted it In midair. 1t was
not long before bird and tail said good
by to each other, and the peacock fiut-
tered away, screaming with indigna-
ton. Although a trife astonished at
the proceedings Of the newly discov-
cred flower the giraffe chewed the tail
with great gusto.

CURIOUS MEALS.
Elephants Are Commanders, and Gil
RATES. Have Queer Tastes


Elephants, ut least captive elephants,
have queer tastes, says Pearson's
Weekly In an entertaining article
about the peculiaritics Of f&lr legged
Rourmcts. One memorable day in 1908
Suffa Culli, the mighty and popular
bed. A thirty-six pound truss OF straw
had been put down Oh the floor for
his comfort, and when the keeper went
round in the morning >ot even the
bands OF the truss remained.
Suffa Gull followed 1t up during the
day by eating three trusses OF hay.
Weighing $50 pounds Finally some
one brought a number Of Christmas
puddings into the elephant house Suf-
IA Gull swallowed his pudding with
out even opening the cardboard box
that contained it.
zoo keeper once kept a tally Of the
number OF hot cross buns an elephant
took down. For six hours on end one
fne Good Friday 1t swallowed buns at
the rate OF 400 an hour!
The average giraffe loves nothing
better in the world than good square
meal OF flowers. 1t has not the slight
est idea, however, of the difference be-
tween artificial and real flowers.
Some years ago when garden hats"
were all the rage the giraffe at the ZOO
made a day OF IT. In that glorious
twelve hours 1T accounted for no few
