SAM AND THE ELEPHANT.

Sam Wah, of Wilmington, Del, as
mild-ey Celestial as ever sprayed a
linen shirt, visited the Zoo on Thursday,
and, after having "heaplee fun in the
monkey house, stopped over at the ele-
plants home, and watched with much
interest the little girls feed the huge
quadrupeds with peanuts and cake. A
party of wicked lads noted the comtem-
plative satisfaction with which Sam re-
garded the scene They beguiled the
innocent fatiron artist into conversation
and finally persuaded him to give one of
the elephants ginger cake which they
had dosed with red pepper. They then
retired to watch for the result. Sam pat
tel the animal on the trunk softly with
one hand, and remarked, "Eatlee much
ee.''
The elephant closed his eye lazily and
reached out for the cake with bis large
trunk. Sam gazed with placid satisfac-
tion at the beast as it curled up its trunk
and poked the cake down its throat.
Then the elephants little eyes snapped
viciously. Sam did not appear to notice
this, and turned round to get another
cake AS he did so the elephant reached
out its long trunk and wound it about
the lGckless Chinaman's body. Then
there was whirl and the thud of Chi
naman's body twelve feet outside the
ropes The keeper rushed to the scene
AMI promptly pulled Sans head from a
parrot cage, where it had been jammed,
and carried him out for dead. At the
door, however, Sam revived, opened his
eyes and remarked: "Muchlee earth
quakee." Then he got on his feet and
walked refectively to the station. He
took the next train for Wilmington where
he confidently said to a friend: China
man heaplee dam foolee, allie same like
Mclean man. He washee allie time
now"

FAsTESTTTME ON RECORD.

A party of English and Irish gentle
men who are interested in the Canadian
Pacific Railway, together with goodly
numbe: of officials of that line, passed
through the city yesterday morning, by
special train over the Chicago, Milwau-
keesand ST. Paul, enroute to the North
west to inspect the Canadian Pacific line.
The train consisted of seyen heavy cars,
and made the run from Chicago to St.
Paul by daylight. The party left Chica-
go at 6:37 a. M, arriving at Milwaukee
at 8:51, making the run of eighty-five
miles in hours and IA minutes. Here
a delay of six minutes was occasiOned,
by changing engines, and the train was
again speeding on its way. La Crosse
was reached at 2:22., p, M, and every
thing in good condition for continuous
run over the River Division. But upon
reaching the Mississippi River an un
looked for delay was occasiOned, in con-
sequence of some irregularity with the
draw-bridge across the river. However,
once across, the wheels were again soon
humming, and at just 6:27 p. m. the
magnificent train, with its load OF de
lighted passengers, made It's final stop at
the St. Paul Depot, IL hours and 80 min
utes from the time of leaving Chicago,
including all stops and the delay at the
Mississippi River, which is the best time
on,record between'the two points named.

THE LAW AGAINST BAD TEA-The
presence in the market of a vast quantity
of spurious tea is attributed by the Her
aid not to the failure of the law enacted
by congress a few months ago, but to
spurious importations effected before the
law was established 1t would be well
for our contemporary to use caution IN
this matter Let an inquiry be made as
to whether the law is thoroughly enforced.
The statute says: "Be it enacted by the
Senate and House of Representatives of
.he United States of America in Congress
assembled, that from and after the passage
of this act it shall be unlawful for any
person or persons or corporation to import
or bring into the Uunited States any mer-
chandise for sale as tea adulterated with
spurious leaf or with exhausted leaves, or
which contains so great an admiXture of
chemicals or other deleteriOus substances
as to make it unfit for use, and the i'm
portation of all such merchandise is here
by prohibited" Provision ii made for
the proper enforcement of the law, if only
the examiners and other officers con
cerned are faithful men. But it is known
hat customs officers sometimes accept
Dribes aud doubtless unscrupulous i'm
oorters would be willing to pay large
price to bring a large cargo oftea through
he Custom House. Vigilant care is nee
,ssary TO make the statute effective. In
restigation must be made to determine
whether the importation of bad tea has
been stopped. The amount of the nefa-
,ious stuff now offered for sale in the
country indicates that the embargo
against spurious tea is not perfect.-Nea0

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a goldwatch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. InaSoLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus Is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is soft metaLand cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that viii supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case y M,,u
which saves the WASTE of need 3 q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

SIZE OF SUN-SPoTs.- single spot has
has measured from 1000 to $4,000 miles
in diameter in which, as will be readily
seen, we could put our earta as stand
ing point of observation, and note how
the vast tacular, waves roll and meet about
the edge of the spot, and also how the
metallic rain is formed from the warmer
portions of the sun. In June, 1843 a
solar spot remained week visible to the
marked eye, having diameter of $1,000
miles; and in 1887 a cluster Of spots COW
cred an area of nearly 4,000,OOO,OOO
square miles. When we call to mind
that the smallestyspot which can be seen
with the most powerful telescope must
have an area of $4,000 miles, we can
readily see how large spot must be in
order to be visible to the unaided eye.
Pasterof, in 1928, measured a spot
whose umbra had an neeextent four times
greater than the earth's surface. In Au-
gust, 1858, a spot was measured by New
all, and it had a diameter Of 1000 miles
more, as you will see, then seven times
the diameter of the earth. The largest
spot known to astronomy was no less III
diameter than 153,50O miles.-H. 4

AS is the rabbit to Australia, so is the
goat to Cyprus-a "voracious pest" a
ruthless destroyer" terror" "nui-
sance" and Course" At least this is
the impassioned declaration ofthe Cyprus
Herald, which is apparently an authority
on the subject. It las hitherto been sup
posed that the locust was the most active
and lnveterate foe to the prosperity OF
hat fair island, barring, perhaps, the in
labitants; but according to the Cyprus
Herald the goat can give the locust points
in the game of indiscriminate ravage. The
worst Of it is that every goat has an
owner to whom it imparts its own ruth
less and degraded nature, rendering him
tie "terror of all the peaceful inhabitants
of the villages" The new Legislative
Council is accordingly entreated to post
pone all other business until itY has de-
vised a means of suppressing the goats
Iproclivities.
