"JABIRUS'' BY PAUL NEUENBORN

BRUSSELS.—The accompanying repro-
duction shows the new fountain for the
Schwann Market in Krefeld, Germany,
designed by Aug. Gaul. It is of granite,
the central pillar supporting a square head with a
design of swans as a border. The water springs from
a small block of granite in the centre, the design being
enriched by some well modelled birds in the act of
drinking or preening their feathers. J. E. W.

MUNICH. — We reproduce here two
studies of Jabirus (American storks)
and Pelicans in Sunshine by Herr Paul
Neuenborn, an artist of this city who
has devoted special attention to animal life in
captivity. His studies in this direction embrace a
great variety of the creatures to be seen in zoo-
logical gardens, but in none perhaps is his skilful
draughtsmanship so well exhibited as in his drawings
of those queer creatures the storks, and their con-
geners the pelicans, flamingos, etc.
