New York - Paddlewing, the only Galapagos penguin in the aquarium, was so lonely after his four pals and sparring partners died that life held nothing for him.The brightness faded out of his eyes Death seemed not far away. But Dr. Charles H. Townsend, aquarium director, had an idea. He obtained a mirror and placed it in the penguin's cage. Immediately the bird revived. His flippers flapped in glee. Now he's perfectly happy. He isn't lonesome any more. He always has a friend - in the mirror. New specimens added to the London Zoo. The wedding of penguins at the London Zoo was the occasion of a great feed for all the members of that strange Family living at the zoo. Here's the "rejected suitor", who apparently doesn't mind having been refused, for the feed was delicious and plentiful.Photo measures 6.5 x 8.75inches. Photo is dated 10-24-1922.
