A large and strong bos -with a sliding door was backed to his den. This is the anaethetising chamber, and, tempted with a piece of meat, the animal was soon a prisoner in it. Through a hole in the side chloroform was pumped into it with a foot bollow, the veterinary surgeon watching the tiger meanwhile' through a glass in the top. When he fell over the door was raised a little, the afflicted foot drawn out, and the operation performed with ease.
