Uncle Ruy's Corner.

A few weeks ago, while we were
speaking about elephants, I men,
toned the famous Jumbo. The note
about that big beast brought me a
letter from reader who saw Jumbo
while he was with Barnum's circus.
The letter came from Mr.. T. H.
Zealand, who was a boy at the
time of Jumbos death. He was at
st. Thomas, Ontario, in 1886 when
the elephant was for the last time
seen alive by the public. Here are
paragraphs from his letter:
"At the time of the accident
about 10:30 pm.-Jumbo was being
led up the track toward his car with
a baby elephant, his own offspring,
in front of him. A flagman had
been sent up the track to halt any
train which might come along, but
when a freight train came it could
not be stopped in time, having no
air brakes.
Jumbo either felt the rumble Of
the train, or saw it coming. He
pushed the baby elephant down the
embankment, and squared himself
to meet the locomotive. The loco
motive was derailed. In those days
locomotives were much smaller than
they are today.
There were many cuts in Jum-
bo's hide, but I believe death came
from internal injuries, caused when
he was squeezed between the loco
motive and the circus train. His
hide was stuffed and displayed by
the Barnum circus for some years.
The skeleton was mounted and
placed in Pittsburgh museum.
"A strong feeling existed between
Jumbo and his keeper, Scott-or
"Scotty," as he was known. Scotty
had berth at one end of Jumbo's
car, near the roof. When the jolt
ing OF the train made the elephant
nervous, he would pass his trunk
up into the berth to make sure that
his keeper was there A pat of
the hand on his trunk was always
enough to quiet him.
Il can well remember seeing
Jumbo walk about the main circus
drive, his back covered with chill
dren. The children sat in a large
saddle, with long seats on both
sides"
Many thanks to Mr.. Zealand for
these notes about Jumbo. This
great elephant grew to a height Of
more than II feet, and might have
passed II feet if he had not died
too young.
