Some Russians lately found in Siberia an
other elephant, perfectly preserved in ice ;
they were able to eat its flesh. NJ. Bayle in
announcing this fact to the Geological Socie-
ty of France said that it did not prove that
elephants had lived in the country, but that,
in time of great cataclysm, their bodies may
have been transported by very strong cur
rent from the Himalayas on TO Siberia, where
they We're stopped by the ice the time nee
essary for such transport is much less than
would naturally be supposed. The elephants,
very numerous at that epoch had not been all
carried to Siberia many had stopped en-
route, and nothing had been left of them but
their bones and tusks; it was the latter that
had been long since used by the Chinese for
their works of cut ivory With regard to the
cataclysm carrying elephants to northern re-
gions, Count Hugo has pointed out that every
year English and American fishermen have
brough: up elephant tusks in their nets The
number of these got annually may be esti-
mated, without exaggeration, at about thou

He was the manager of Il church fair, and
one morning he walked into the newspaper
office and said:
Want an item this morning.!
"Of course. replied the editor. Whereup-
on the visitor laid the following note upon the
table:
The ladies of the--Street Church will
give a festival at their vestry hall next Friday
evening Literary and musical entertainments
will be provided and a supper will be served
to all who desire. The ladies in charge of the
affair have much experience in such matters
and are sure to provide good time. The adj
mission will be only fifteen cents, and it is
certain that no one can spend that amount to
a better advantage. Be sure to go and take
your friends"
When the editor had read it he said
"Oh. see, an advertisement"
No: not an advertisement. We prefer to
have it 90 in the local columns" replied the
manager.
And seeing that the editor looked sceptical,
he continued
1T will interest great many of your read
ers, and help good cause besides We have
spent so much money getting up our enter
tainment that we can't afford to advertise 1t
without increasing the price of our tickets.
In such a matter as this We ought to be will

locals, l suppose you would reciprocate by
reading little notice in your church next
Sunday"
The visiting brother asked what notice, and
the editor wrote and handed him the follow
ing;
The Weekly Chronicle, for the coming
year. will be the best and cheapest family pa
per in Maine. Its proprietor has had much
experience, and has all the help which Il
large outlay of money can procure. His pa
per has larger circulation than any other
published in the county, and it is to he fur
nished at only 81. 1t is certain that no one
can spend that amount to a better advantage
Be sure to take the Chronicle and subscribe
for your friends"
The manager hemmed and hesitattd, and
then said solemnly, that he doubted whether
it would be judicious to read such Il notice,
but suggested that if it was printed copies
might be distributed at the door of the YES
try OH the evening of the entertainment.
Yes" said the editor, but it would at
tract more attention in the middle of ser

congregation and help good cause and be-
sides, so much money is spent upon the
Chronicle that don't see how the owner can

Among the many notions lie Due, the new
commissioner of agriculture, has in his head
is that of introducing the raising of coffee in
the United States. In the cultivation of the
berry a climate of uniform temperature, with
out either excessive heat or cold, and possess
ing fair amount of humidity is necessary,
and certain portions of Texas, Florida and
California seem to fill this bill. In the latter
State indeed the experiment of planting Costa
Rica coffee has already been tried with sue
cess. The coffee of commerce comes chiefly
from Brazil, Venezuela, Hayti, the East and
West Indies and Mexico. The plant, or rather
tree, grows from & to ~, and even 20 or 30
feet high, its upward growth being generally
checked by topping however, for the conyen-
fence of gathering the fruit. 1t takes three
years 10 get plants bearing, and they are good
for 20 years or more, if well tended The
habit of coffee-drinking is growing one inthis
country, and 339, 7s9, 24G pounds were i'm
ported in 1876 at a cost of $50, 7ss, 997.

The incompressibility of sand is mentioned
in the journal of Industry as a cheap and
ready means of making supporting columns
and bases for anvils, or for blocks designed to
support heavy weights. Sand enclosed in
thin wooden or iron walls if thorough
ly shaken down, may be made to sustain
a much greater weight than the walls or cylin-
ders alone, by placing all the weight directly
on the sand and quite free from the walls that
retain it, Wooden boxes thus filled with sand
make excellent supports for anvils or tables
for laboratory work. SO long as the pressure
weights and resist heavier blows than could
be borne by solid blocks of wood of the same
