    Baffled by a list of strange trades recently published in The Times the writer offers his own interpretations of what they involve. For example, 'Zebra Dress Manufacturers' prompts the remark that 'On application at the Zoological Gardens we learn that there is no demand there for articles of clothing of this description. Perhaps animals confined in travelling menageries may require them'.
