"Radiance Of the World" When these
facts are fully appreciated, il ceases to be

ferred upon the fortunate mammoth by
the king in presence of the whole court
and among It's high flown titles are Gem
of the Sky" "Glory of the Land ''lta-
dance of the World" "Leveler of the
Earth" The father of the present en-

poetic hybcrbole, which remainds one
more of certain passages of Solomon's
Song than of anything else; as, for in

a comets tail" etc. This homage and
superstition are reflected in the very titles
and offices of the rulers and great men
