Marvels in maniature, animal and human. Baby animals born in captivity, with pigmy attendants from Ituri. A remarkable, unique and most unusual subject.
Baby elephants and pigmies. Two juvenile elephants are first presented — Tweedledum and Tweedledee, so christened by Miss Marie Studholme. They are remarkably docile and gentle with all comers. So engaging and obliging are these diminutive specimens that an affectionate twist of one ear by their keepers secures immediate response.
The animals thoroughly enjoy their surroundings, and cheerfully submit with equal readiness to burdens, either of pretty children sumptuously attired or to grown-up pigmies scarcely attired at all.
The photographs of these dwarf animals and men are remarkable for their clearness and sharpness. A most unusual spectacle is recorded as, mounted astride the baby elephants, the grave, fullgrown pigmy warriors of three feet, armed with spears and other small weapons, pass in front of the camera.
Lion cubs. An interesting study is next afforded of four lion cubs, nearly five months old, the progeny of Lion Wallace and Lioness Empress.
The cubs neither exhibit the gentleness of the elephants nor respond to the endearments of their keepers. Instead, they simply display an incipient ferocity comical to witness in such small specimens. The attendant, perhaps, saw no humor in the situation, as he received an ugly bite on the occasion here depicted.
A snarling, impatient, active quartette, each member had forcibly to be presented to the camera, to which they individually and collectively as strenuously objected as does any unobliging criminal whose photograph is required for purposes of identification.
The cubs fume, squirm, imprecate, denounce, defy and generally give a most comical display of the worst passions of animal nature.
The only instance of sweet reasonableness shown by these little creatures is in the matter of sustenance. The keeper is seen to feed one of them with milk from a bottle, the contents of which the baby lion, sitting on its haunches with front paws raised to grasp the precious vessel, finds to his entire satisfaction.
A greedy little beast, he is reluctant to release his hold until he has drained the last drop, a proceeding which does not commend itself to a baby lion companion who, with evident concern, witnesses
