Caused Sub to Disappear

A naturalist correspondent narrates
Il queer war adventure he had with a
menagerle recently Elephants, par
rots, monkeys, pair of leopards and
some antelopes were slowed on a big
steamship which two torpedos luckily
missed. But the vessel had gun,
and 1t went off. SO, as 1t were, did the
menagerie. You may not believe all
this naturalist says, any more than
the tales of an angler or Il golfer; you
may refuse to accept the showers of
eggs from the frightened parrots, or
that the leopards changed their spots,
which are now of a decided paler hue,
says an exchange. But from his
amused horror about II, there is no
doubt that the menagerle went mad,
and that-though the ships gunners
may deny 1t as cause.-the German
U-boat disappeared. The elephants
trumpeted, and kept 1t up, and the big
cats, monkeys. and parrots made
noise "llke Aends coming up for the
