Capture of Rare Birds.

Two rather interesting birds hard arrived at the London Zoological Gardens. These are two young specimens of the king penguin, which may grow,, should fortune favor them, to a height rather more than three feet. These penguins come from the Antarctic regions, and when the large species was first discovered the discoverers thought that the land was inhabited by a lot of nice children, neatly attired in pdnafores, for the white breast of the bird, tied round the neck, as It were, by a white line, gives this impression.
