.The.-Borne Zoo'is very proud of tha flying .camel, which has just gone by; air across the- Mediterranean from Tunis. It arrived in a hydroplane at Ostia, and walked unconcernedly down, a gangway to bo carried in, a special van to Borne, accompanied-by an Arab driver, who reported that his charge had given no trouble.on the way,(says tha Rome, correspondent; of: the'''Sunday Times"). It was fastened-tightly in the cabin, into which it was; lifted in the first place by means of-a crane, and probably had a inu'ch more pleasant journey than if it had made the trip by sea and rail instead of creating a world's ■ record • for itself. Though various smaller animals—including some for the London Zoo—have beea transported by air, this is believed to be the first time that the "ship of thg jleseit" has taken, wings.
