CLASS 3 — Popular Science, Useful Arts and Natural History 93
northern Ontario, that drain into Hudson Bay. Starting out in canoes, we travel for three days thru picturesque rapids and beautiful rivers and over back-breaking portages until we come to our objective, the home of those game fish, the Square-tails. Here is a river full of real fighting fish waiting to be caught. How they can fight! What skill we need to work them up to the landing net ! But when the zestful day is done and we return to camp and feast on Square-tails what a real tang there is to living.

Canines and Felines
Who does not love to see the lions and the wolves and the other wild animals? Nobody? Well, here are a lot of them in a Zoological Park. The animals shown are Wild Dogs, Timber Wolves, Red Foxes, Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Cheetahs, Jaguars, and Mountain Lions. There are several different species of some of them.
As our visit occurs during feeding time we have a splendid opportunity to watch the action of the animals while they are anxiously awaiting their food and while they are fiercely enjoying it.
We are also fortunate enough to be present during the dangerous operation of clipping the claws of a huge Barbary Lion. It doesn't hurt him, but he doesn't like it, and we are mighty glad those bars are so strong !

Herbiverous Mammals
Passing on to the next section of the Gardens we come to the Deer Park where we see the Virginia Deer, a Baby Elk, the Wapiti or American Elk, and then a group of European and American Deer which are racing through the waters of a lake in their enclosure. Continuing our walk we visit the yards of the Zebra, Llama, Nylghau Antelope, North American Moose, Yak, Zebu, Bison or American Buffalo, Camel and Giraffe, and finally reach the Elephant's cage.
Here the attendants are brushing off a huge Elephant and oiling his skin to keep it from cracking, after which the Elephant goes for a swim in his private tub.
