TINY STRANGE HUMAN
Übangi, the tiny female semisavage, only a few inches in height, will be on vieAv at the Slioav. Be sure and see this child of lion arid elephant land; she is alive, alert, vivacious; her eyes sparkle Avith the savage glint of her tribes-men, Avhose kinsmen have, for aeons of time struck terror to the hearts of the
giant neighbouring tribes. This tiny 'tree-dweller','from the Central African jungles -was brought out of the Dark Continent in 1927. Her food consists of honey ants (a large sugar ant), juicy roots, bex*ries, nuts and she is particularly fond of slightly cooked venison. Her age is assumed to be about 30 or 32 years. P.B.A.
