j7 outside of tho rungo of con von--
tlonal domestic pets, which pro
vokes ho much curiosity ntnoiiK, or
proves Mich a magnet of itnnisoment to,
tho Jiivenllo fraternity, either at tho
clreim or Zoological Gardens, as tho ele
phant. This ponderous and apparently
clumsy, nlhelt, as it rule, perfectly
harmless mid doclla crcaturo Is a never
ending source of delight to children.
Especially Is this tho case with "Big
Tom," the nohle creature In the public
Central Park of New York. Ho Is an
unusually tractable and playful ani
mal, nnd consequently Is a great favor
ite with the youngsters.
Hut ono day "Rig Tom" suddenly
changed his manner. He becamo vi
cious, and tho keeper, apprehenslvo
that'ho might hurt somo of his young
visitors, fastened him up out of the
way. Contemporaneously, tho elephant
displayed a dllllculty In walking. Ac
llrst the keeper could not assign any
reason for this unexpected development
on tho part of his charge, and forth
with Hiil),ectcd tho animal to a mluut3
diagnosis. Rut he could not discover
any renxou to which either tho animal's
bail temper or lameness could bo at
tributed, since "Rig Tom" appeared to
bo enjoying tho best of health.
Tho keeper, however, observed that
tho animal was lamo In his legs, and
also that his toenails had grown to an
unusual extent. It then occurred to tho
man that possibly tho animal's crippled
condition was duo to the abnormal slr.o
of his toenails, If such were tho case,
then tho pain "Rig Tom" endured while
walking would bo excruciating, and
would account for his display of bad
temper. Tho keeper thereupon decided
to cut and trim tho creature's nails, as,
oven If tho operation did not euro the
malady, It would at any rate do no
harm. Had "Rig Tom" been roaming
about In his native Jungle, plowing nnd
plodding hi tho heavy, rough soil, tho
nails would have been kept down to
their proper size, but as hu was de
prived of these natural means of chir
opody, then tho sauio risult would havo
to ho accomplished by nrtlllclal means.
Rut tho task was not so easy us It
appeared from a cursory glance. Tho
keeper realized that tho work would
havo to bo carried out with consum
mate skill, If tho result were to bo at
tended with satisfactory success. To
Insure this end, a special set of tools
were prepared. This peculiar chiropody
outllt comprised a saw, chisel, sharp
knife, coarse rasp, sandpaper and
smooth polishers, all specially manu
factured for tho operation,
Tho elephant's legs wero secured to
tho ground by means of chains to pre
vent movement, but otherwlso "Rig
Tom" was. left entirely free, slnco as
tho mills are of hard horn no pain
would bo experienced In tho actual cut
ting, though as tho tlesh around tho
nails had become Intlamed aud tender,

It was feared thut tho creaturo might
strongly emphasize Its disapproval of
the operation I' dealing Its keeper a
powerful blow with Its trunk. Despite
this possibility, howover, no Interfer
ence was made with regard to tho free
dom of the animal's trunk, Subsequent
events proved that all qualms on this
point wero groundless.
Tho saw was llrst utilized to cut
away a largo quantity of superfluous
mi II, and this tool was followed by tho
chlxel, which removed the portions In
nivesslblo to the saw. The aulnial at
llrst appeared a trltlo mlgety, but dis
played no rcbcutmcut to tho manipula
tions of tho operator, as If ho compre
hended that the labor of tho keeper was
to hi own advantage.
Sawing and chiseling completed, tho
chlropodUt proceeded to rub down tho
imlls to their required shape with tho
coarso rusp. This tiling proved no light
task, as the texture of tho nail was ex

exercised that tho tool did not slip and
Injure tho leg of "Rig Tom," In which
event ho would doubtless have remind
ed the operator of his clumsiness hi u
most forclblo manner by means of his
trunk. Tho filing process accomplished
to tho surgeon's satisfaction, ho pro
ceeded to complete his operation by
smoothing and polishing tho trimmed
nails with tho sandpaper.
When tho task was completely
achieved, tho elephant was released
from Its fetters, and to the unbounded
delight of his keeper, "Rig Tom's"
lameness had completely disappeared,
and his quondam good temper had re
turned. Now, whenever "Rig Tom"
evinces the slightest trace of bad tem
per, his toenails aro Immediately trim
med. Tho operation always works like
a charm. "Cutting tho toenails Is an
Infalllblo euro for an elephant's bad
temper" Is now tho precept of "Rig
Tom's" keeper.
Another Interesting ana" extraordin
ary animal surgical operation was re
cently undertaken hi tho arena of a
well-known traveling circus before a
few privileged spectators. The creaturo
on this occasion was n hippopotamus,
and tho complaint was that some of his
teeth had grown to such an abnormal
length that It was only with consider
able dllllculty and pain that tho brute
could masticate his food. Few crea
tures aro so valtiablo to tho traveling
showman as the hippopotamus. These
animals aro neither so plentiful nor so
easily caught as tho elephant, and as
they seldom thrive In captivity they
I arc, therefore, most highly prized by
their fortunate proprietors.
Tho particular hippopotamus upon
whom this unlquo dental operation was
performed Is an unusually tlno speci
men of Its kind, aud Its wclfaro is ac
cordingly zealously attended to by Its
owner. It Is affectionately called
"Rabe," by no means an appropriate,
sobriquet, when It Is remembered that
ho turns tho scalo at Just under two
tons; but tho crcaturo Is ns docllo as a
child, which fnvorablo characteristic
suggested tho iiamo to Its owner.
HOW A SQUARE YARD OP
"Rabe" has an unusually finely devel
oped set of teeth, numbering twenty
eight In all. Among these nre two very
prominent teeth, properly called tusks,
growing out of tho lower Jaw. Thoy
start In n vertical direction, but bond
In a backward, graceful curve. They
aro two of tho most useful teeth to the
hippopotamus, being requisitioned by
tho aulnial for tcurjug up tho trees nnd
bushes upon which it thrives, since It
Is purclv u herbaceous animal.
Under normal conditions theso tusks
grow to about six Inches In length Tho
rough work to which they are subject
ed by tho creaturo when roaming
through tho forests In quest of food
prevents them from growing to a very
great length. Rut In the luxurious res
Ideiico of tho menagerie cage, and tho
preparation of dainty dishes of loaves,
hay aud brnumash, tho tusks havo no
hard chowlng to do. Therefore, thoy
grow to such a length that If not cut
back they would pierce tho upper Jaw,
prevent "Rabo" from eatlug, and grad
ually starve him to death. Consequent
ly, "Rabe" has to submit to periodical
overbadings of his teeth tho opera
tion takes -place on tho average about
once a year. '
lu the front of tho mouth, also In the
lower Jaw, ure two other prominent
teeth, projecting straight forward.
Theso aro not used for biting, but for
digging up the earth when tho animal
fancies a tasty root for dinner. Theso
nlso, lu "Rabo's" caso, have to bo kept
cut back, though they do not cause him
so much Inconvenience, when too long,
us the tusks.
To enable tho operatlou to bo satis
factorily performed, "Rabo" was led
out Into tho arena and placed near a
stout Iron past which had been deeply
aud rigidly fixed Into tho ground. The
hippopotamus locked about him quizzi
cally as If endeavoring to divine what
move was In contemplation. Chains
were passed round his short legs, and
fastened firmly to the ground. "Rabe,"
not quite comprehending the meaning
of tins secure hobbling, gave a sonorous
grunt, and looked threateningly, at his
keeper. But at this lunctmre a Uf was
offered to him, and his momentary
anger was Instantly appeased. '
"Rabo" was then enticed to open his
mouth widely by means of further
dainties held temptingly above hla
nose. At first ho refused point blank,
but he finally succumbed to tho bait,
aud opened his capacious Jaws to tho
extent of two feeL Immediately two
assistants, standing In position, dex
terously throw chains over tho distend
ed Jaws ono over tho lower and tho
second over tho upper and passed tho
ends through ringbolts fixed to tho
post. "Rabo" attempted to closo his
Jaw, but In vain. Ho was a secure
prisoner, bound literally foot and
mouth.
Tho keeper then proceeded to per
form tho necessary operation with all
posslblo celerity. For this delicate
dental work tho mcnagcrlo proprietor
has provided a special outfit, consisting
of a small, finely tenoned saw, threo
flics, one of which Is about as coarso as
a wood rasp, and tho other two very
flno aud more suited for polishing pur
poses. Tho files aro only cut upon ono
side, tho other faces being covered
with thick and soft leather, so that In
tho event of tho file slipping off the
tooth, the bruto's mouth would not be
wounded In any wny.
Tho front digging teeth first claimed
attention. Tho keeper set to work with
n will, merrily filing at tho teeth as if
ho were rasping a piece of wood fixed
In a vice. Tho animal gurgled and
spluttered, and largo tears, Ilko balls
of crystal, rolled from his eyes. He
grow restless, nnd In two or threo min
utes his struggles becamp so violent
that the operator had to desist.
When "Rabe" had quieted down
once more, the dentist again set to work
vigorously, and ceased for n few mo
ments every time tho hippopotamus
grow restless. Probably tho animal
suffered little real pain, but experi
enced a disagreeable sensation as tho
strong steel lllo rasped over the bone,
which proved to ho extremely hard. At
tho end of live minutes, ono tooth had
been filed down an Inch nnd a quarter,
and before a quarter of an hour had
elapsed both tho digging teeth had
been treated and polished.
A curious feature was observed dur
ing tho operation. The body of tho ani
mal appeared to bo bathed In blood,
nnd the ground Immediately beneath It
was dyed a deep red. This was duo to
"Rabo" violently perspiring, ns tho
perspiration of tho hippopotamus, when
excited, Is red In color.
Tho dental surgeon then directed his
skill to tho tusks. This task was consid
erably facilitated by sawing off tho
tusk to tho desired length, and then
finally grinding tho teeth down to tho
requisite shapo by tho flics. They wero
then polished, and tho unpleasant oper
ation was completed. Great excitement
now followed. Every man, with tho
NEW SKIN WAS GRAFTED ON.
exception of tho kecpor, decamped
from tho sceno of action. Tho keeper
then hurriedly knocked away tho
chains holding the animal's mouth, and
nlso quickly hied him to a safo dis
tance, In caso "Rabo" proved obstreper
ous. Tho hippopotamus closed his re
leased mouth with a snap, aud splut
terer viciously with violent anger. Ho
glared at tho keeper as If ho would
havo liked to have killed his tormentor.
Ho opened nnd closed his mouth sev
eral times, found his teeth more com
fortable, aud then signified his appre
ciation of what had been dono to him
by sultllng about for something to
munch. Tho keeper warily approached
with an appetising pall of branmasb,
which "Rabo'' devoured with grcaj
zest. Tho shackles wero knocked off
his legs, nt which tho brute gnvo a
grunt of satisfaction. All signs of vl
clousness had vanished nnd ho accom
panied tho keeper back to tho cage with
tho greatest content, entering Vhlch
tho, nnlmal lay down and went to
sleep.
One of our Illustrations depicts what
Is Indubitably an unparalleled operation
lu tho annals of pachydermatous der
matology. Tho elephant, so securely
'strapped by heavy chains to the
ground, Is having a square yard of now
skin grafted on to Its shoulder. Hello
that Is tho elephant's mime was get
ting qut of a railway carriage, when
tho vehicle gave a sudden Jolt, and she
was thrown heavily to tho ground. As
she fell aud struck an Iron cage stand
ing near by, and severely lacerated her
shoulder, tho abrasion extending-over
a spaco of ono square Inch.
Specialists were called in, and It was
resolved to remove some of tho tender
growing skin from tho young elephant,
aud to graft It ou to Relic's wound. The
mother was chained ou her side to the
ground, aud a small sectlou removed
from the baby's leg and applied to
Hello's wound. The skin adhered to tho
lacerated flesh, and gradually tho abra
slou was closed up. A small portion
only was operated upon at a time, aad
tho wound was aoou completely healed.
