pair of black Asiatic tigers commands
tho greatest attention from the spec
tator With their sleek skin a beauti
ful smooth black and their largo sunk
en eyes glittering like coals of lire one
cannot help being attracted by their
sight These are the only pair of Asi

America and their great rarity makes

choice in their diet being especially fond
of foul of any character Another pe
culiarity the animal keeper has ob
served at the sight of a dog these ti
gers become furious while the dogs
quake and shiver at the sight of the
tigers That the value of rare animals
is more than one would suppose without
investigating is a fact when the circus
paid S10000 for these two black brutes
