enter the cage it was removed to the floor of the building and another case but of different construction composed solely of iron bars placed endways to the door of the first cage and the two firmly lashed together after some little tiouble the animal was got i:it the second cage which was so narrow as not to admit of his turning round heavy inch and a half planks were then inserted between the bars and the lion tightly wedged in up to this point he had submitted quietly but on the introduction of the planks he splintered them up as easily as though they had been matchwood at last he was firmly wedged in and a little time was given him to cool down a fa vorable opportunity for the operation occurred in a few minutes his paw bring partly through the bars the head keeper lilunsden who was wait ing with a pair of powerful nippers seized the opportunity and the offend ing claw was promptly removed the operation which was conducted by dr harrison treasurer of the gardens was
