A Daring Performance That Had
Vary Simple Explanation.
Some years ago a lion tamer who
was exhibiting in a (Jerman circus
in Holland attracted immense
crowds at every performance by do
ing what seemed to be the most
daring of acts in the lions cape. He
would climb into the cage with" great
pieces of meat and throw it to the
roaring beasts. The moment they
had leaped upon it he would spring
among them and put his foot on it.
The animals would growl furiously,
and then, just as the spectators
were all waiting breathlessly, ex
pecting that the beasts would tear
him to pieces, they would shrink
back, cowed. After he had repeat
ed this exciting act for many days
an Englishman made a wager with
him for a big sum of money that
he would not dare to do it after the
lions had been starved for three
days. The trainer considered for a
moment and then accepted the wa
ger, making only the condition that
he be allowed to have three weeks
of preparation.
At the end of three weeks the
trainer announced that he was
ready, and the process of starving
the lions began. The Englishman
kept guards posted around the cage
day and night to make certain that
not u morsel of food should be giv
en to the animals. At the expira
tion of the three days all Amster
dam rushed to the circus. The lions
were maddened with hunger, as any
one could see and hear, for they
roared continually, and their at
tempts to break through the bars
showed how angry they had be
come. In the height of the uproar
the trainer entered the cage with
an immense piece of beef in his
arms. lie tossed it on the floor of
the cage, raised his whip, and, lo,
not one lion dared to approach it.
The mighty brutes lav crouched,
roaring and growling so hard that
their great framcB 6hook, and each
kept his terrific yellow eyes fixed
hungrily on the meat. But not one
of them stirred.
The trainer stooped, lifted the
beef and tossed it to them again,
and in a moment the lions were in a
great tawny ball, rending and snarl
ing and tearing, with blood from
the mangled beef spurting all over
the cage. The Englishman paid his
bet and then tried to find out how
the lion tamer had acquired such
wonderful control over his beasts.
At first the man would not tell, but
at last he consented to explain it.
During the three weeks' period of
preparation he had always starved
the lions from the very beginning.
Then on the fourth day he would
enter the casre with a piece of beef
which had been soaked in kerosene
oil. The lions would no sooner
pounce upon it than they would
shrink away, sickened by the stench.
Then he would throw them a fresh
and good piece of beef, which they
would devour in a moment. The
lions soon became so accustomed to
expecting that the first piece of
beef that was thrown to them was
not good that at the end of three
days they would not even move from
their corners when the trainer
threw it on the floor of the cage.
They would not try to eat any
thing except the second piece. So
the daring trick had a very simple
explanation.
