With this view a number of inventions
have been put into the fielis that are mar
wells of execution. They cut the wheat,
thresh it, winnow it, bag it and leave the
rows of filed sacks lying in the swath be-
hind them as they pass.

When the rhinoceros is full grown it is
sometimes five feet high, and its horn is
three feet long. For all their hide was an

they used to come down near the Ganges
and roll in the mu to make their coating

amused themselves in this way for a while
they started back to the jungle. But the
little fellow strayed behind to play awhile.
Then some men who had been watching
around here for this very purpose snapped
him up in twink ing. They had laid a
bamboo trap for him. and he fell into it just
because he was young and silly. Before he
had time to so much rs below to his mamma
he was hauled away and put on board n
ship. They brought HIM through the new
Sueh canal to Europe. He was bought
finally for menagerie in Hamburg.

perhaps that it was some new kind of bun.

HR!NGING HIN HOME.

When Bounty reached NV York he was
loaded, cage AMI ali upon a wheeled truck
or low wagon ard hauled to Central park.
1t took n number # horses TO drag him, but
the funniest cone was when lie reached his
quarters in the park. The ques ion was how
to get him into the hui d ng. Finally they
harnessed n great tame elephant named Tip
poo Sab with chains to the cage slide
from the truck TO the meuagerle floor was
fixed in place, and Tippoo Saib, at the word
of command, tugged away. He soon brought
Bomby, cage and all, into tie tight place.
But now comes the sad part. Bomby had
been in hi, new home only a few days when
although his hide was an inch and half
thick, he caught cold and died Of p eumonia.
The keepers left HIM in a draught of air,
they say. He lived only week after he
came TO America. After lac was dead the
same intelligent elephant, Tirpoo Sab,
dragged the great body out again.
