Green Lions at Buffalo.

The Buffalo Express grieves because the lions in the sunken garden of the exposition have been painted green. But surely a green lion is a most interesting, animal and well worth the price of admission. It may be that there are no green lions in nature, but why should anybody be sure about that? We have seen red lions on tavern signs. Is a green lion any more brilliant and surprising than a red one? Take a bronze lion with a good patina on him. There is a green lion for you and nobody kicks. A green lion in a green garden is of the right hue. His color protects him from the hunter. The green lions of Buffalo

would have given great pleasure to Mr. Darwin and will give it to everybody who visits the Erie reservation next summer.
