GIRAFFE RESENTS ITS CHAINS
Animal, in Captivity, Is Liable to Fur
nish Abundant Occupation for
Its Keepers.

After the downfall OF the Roman
empire few g~iraffes were seen in Eu-
rope, so that in 1886 a great sensation
was created in England by the arrival
of one of them at the Geological gar
denS. 1t was led from the Ship-land-
ing at Blackwell, at 5 o'clock in the
morning. by -four Africans in native
costume" A mate was soon found for
it. and for many years after that most
Of the giraffes exhibited in clrcuses

but the circus men did not always
say so. By and by, however. all these
died out, and no new ones were to be
a single captive was e in Europe
or the, United States. This scarcity
was due to a singular fact. All the
giraffes had come from, or by way OF,
Khartum; and when, in 1870, the war
with the Mahdi in the Sudan began,
the supply was stopped.
It is thought that the first person
t o describe the giraffeS was the Roman
naturalist, Pliny, and he pointed out
that it was as mild in disposition as
the sheep. But mild is not at all
the correct word. The giraffe is timid
and nervous, but not at all gentle in
temperament. Keepers must be eau
tious in approaching this animal, first,
because it is easily startled, and may
spring away in fright and bruise it
self, or even break its legs, in its mar
row quarters; and, second. because II
may deliver a terrific kick, or seize q
mans arm or head In it's teeth with
out prOvocation or warning.
