SAVED BY CHIMPANZEE.
A wild beast trainer named Henricksen was exhibiting a dozen lions and tigers at Busche's Circus, Berlin, and had introduced a favourite chimpanzee into the cage. He was rehearsing with the tetter animal, and for a moment took his eyes from a particularly ferocious tiger. Sud* denly the tiger sprang upon the trainer's back, but before he had time to claw him, the chimpanzee sprang like lightning on the tiger's back. This so) astonished the beast that he loosed his hold,'and retired to a corner of the cage snarling. Henricksen was got out unhurt.
