N The YOUNG PICTUREGOER DEAR GIRLS AND BOYS On another page yon will find i photograph of a little child flaying with a lion cub, whilst two other lion cubs appear quite unconcerned a few yards away. This remarkable incident actually happened for the Trans-Atlantic tilni "In Jungle Wilds," which will be showing after April li'th. But this was not the only danger the child was exposed to. The baby t shown sleeping .while leopards and other beasts of the jungle, intent on devouring it. bite and claw their way in through a boai'ded-up window. When the t'ath'T returns he .shouts one of these spotted leopards, and its dying struggles are pictured on the screen. When later i 1 1 i - innocent child wanders into the jungle nest of the lioness yon \\ ill feel, if yon sec the iilm. i-\ er so anxious to warn him of his danger, for he actually carries off one of the " pi el t J big kitl ies." the cubs of t lie em aged mot her lion, and jnsi as he i making off w il h il the great lioness t'el in nsand sees him. Ib.u the producer managed to keep the beast from killing the child must remain a mysterj ; in he did so. 1 believe these cubs are il ■ identical lions which were born ii Trans-Atlantic City last June. \i,i. Smili There wei e l' nxr, in fact . but ^r>. t v.) n Week endih i Ai-rii tic mother became car. less, and one day lay up. u i i the -ul.-. and crushed it. To prevent the same fate from overtaking the other three, the trainer decided to remove them from the lioness. And whom do you think became the ';njother" of these baby lions? A little fox-terrier named Fanny. Isn't it interesting? When Fanny was first turned into the cub-' room they began to whine, and Fanny ran around the room a.s if she did not know what was the proper thing t" do. The cubs continued whining. Then all of a -udden Fanny made up her mind. She jumped into the box with the cubs, which were almost as big as she. and began licking their faces. An instant later they were nursing, and Fanny became their mother. Il soon proved, however, that the dog conldtiot turnish milk to satisfy them, and regularly after that the trainer's wife fed them from a nursing-bottle. Soon the cubs were as large as the dog, and were able i<> eat and drink without any assistan •■. They weie then removed to a regular animal cage, and they continued to grow' until in a month or so they were twice the size of their adopted mother, and began to manifest their Hon in-tii <h # t # '•Dear Sir. I Pemiia Hughes aged ten of No. 5 Jug Bank Sneyd Street Sneyd Green Cobridge Burslem, Staffs, says that your word of the puzzle is 'postcard.'" Thus quaintly runs the reply of one of the hundred of my reader who entered for the postcard puzzle.
