The Duke Of Argyll IN his "Rcicn Of
Law " was. think, the first who pro-
mulgated the dictum that man II tho
only tool-making animal. As far is |
can ascertain, this assertion Is admitted
by deyclopmentists, yet tits undoubtedly
true that the Indian elephant makes two
Implements, or forms and alters certain
things SO as TO adapt them specially to
fulfill definite purposes, for which, unal-
tered, they would not be suitable.
One evening, soon after my arrival in
Eastern Asia, and while the five ele-
plants We're as usual being fed opposite
the bungalow, observed a young and
lately caught one step up to bamboo
stake fence and quietly pull one Of the
stakes Up. Placing IL under foot, il broke
a piece off with the trunk, and after lift
ing il 10 its mouth threw il away. II re-
peated this twice or thrice, and then
drew another stake and began again.
Seeing that the bamboo was old and dry.
! asked the reason Of this, and was told
to wait and see what IL would do. At
last IL seemed to get piece that suited.
and, holding il in the trunk firmly, and
stepping the left fore-leg well forward,
passed the piece Of bamboo under the
armpit, so TO speak, and began 10 scratch
with some force. My surprise reached
its climax when saw large elephant
leech fall on the ground, quite six inch
es long and thick as ones finger, and
which, from its position, could not east
~ be detached without this scrapcr, or
scratch. which was deliberately made
by the elephant. subsequently found
that il was common occurrence.
Leech-scrapers are used by every cle-
plant daily.
On another occasion, when travelling
at time Of year when the large flies
are SO tormenting To an elephant, no
ticed that the one ] rode had no fan or
wisp 10 beat them off with The ma
hout, at my order, slackened pace and
allowed her 10 90 10 the side ~ the
road, where for some moments she
moved along rummaging the smaller
jungle on the bank. AT last she came
10 q cluster Of young shoots, well
branchcd, and after feeling among them
and selecting one. raised her trunk and
nearly stripped down the stem. taking
off all the lower branches and leaving
fine bunch on top. She deliberately
cleaned IL down several times. and
then, laying hold at the lower end,
broke off beautiful fan or switch,
about five feet long, handle included.
With this she kept the flies at bay, rs
we went along, Tapping them off on
each side every now and then.
Say what we may, these are both
really bona fide implements, each intel
ligently made for a definite purpose

An attempt was made 10 blow up the Rus
sian imperial train, as il was approaching
Moscow station, on the night Of the 1T, but
the plot miscarried in some way and the
baggage-train following a half hour sater
received the explosive charge intended for
the Emperor's carriage. The force Of the
explosion was such that an excavation was
made in the road bed feet and : inches deep,
III feet long and Is feet broad. The train was
lifted entirely OF the rails, one car being
overturned and others thrown across the
track. The only personal injury received
was by two railway officials who were stand
ing alongside the track when the explosion
occurred. An investigation showed that the
mine had been connected with an electric
battery in an old house situated few rods
from the track, the wires running through
an underground tunnel, carefully excayated.
The house had been occupied for some
months by young man unknown to any one
in the neighborhood. The usual congratu-
lations were received by the Emperor upon
his fortunate escape.

public opinion and show that those whose
