AN ELEPHANT RIDE.

Ez-Mayor Harrison, OF Chicago, Has .
Delightful Experience.
On our second day. being provided
with a permit from his Highness, we
visited "Amber," the old city, now
deserted 1t lies in rocky gorge, on
narrow valley. The mountains
around are crowded by forts and cas-"
ties as dizzy and picturesque as any
on the Rhine. Lofty walls climb the
spurs of the mountains and the old
castle sits superbly on the crest of a
high hill overlooking beautiful little
lake of clear water. on the shores of
which were several crocodiles bask-
ing in the hot sun. Our road lay
through a wilderness of kiosk memoir
ials of the past dead Little domes
supported by the most delicate pillars
and prettily carved. Then we came
to lake of perhaps five hundred
acres. in the center of which is q large
and fine old palace. its lower arches
now in the water and its balconies and
domes reflected in the placid sheet.
This water is dark and unhealthy. COW
cred with all sorts of wild fowl and
filled with crocodiles. We counted
twenty odd of them. Beyond this we
reached the foot of the gorge leading
to the old city.
Here we found one of the Rajah's
huge elephants, of which he has
eighty, which was to carry us over the
steep pass His face was painted in
Oriental characters. We made our
obeisancc. He soon came down on his
launches, shot his legs straight out
behind, and on short stcp-ladder we
mounted the mass of meat. Then.
with a motion which made johnny
think ieelingly of the swell of the Pa
cific. our mastodon trud ged slowly up.
When he reached particularly steep
place he groaned and grunted and
finally gave whistle, which told me
that he thought q Chicago two hun
acknowledgements was more than
the law allowed. Along our uphill
road gray monkeys, with black faces
and long tails, ran about the trees.
Some of them with their old-folk faces
made me feel like saying: BE good
natured, old fellow; l confess to our
kinship." After passing the little
lake before mentioned we were car
ried up a very steep road into the
court of the old palace, which is o.
casionally used by the Rajah for few
days at a time Chicago Mail

The Formation of Soils.

Our soils, as is well known, depend
upon variety of actions which serve to
break up the rocky matter of the earth,
and to commingle that matter with or
ganic materials more rapidly than the
erosiye agents can remove the detri'ly
from the point at or near which it de-
Gays. For the formation Of the soil two
actions, at least. are essential. First. the
bedr must be broken into fragments
sufficiently separated from each other to
permit the pas age Of roots between
them second, the rock fragments must
be still further comminutcd and com
mingled with organic waste to make the
combination Of organic and inorganic
matter on which the utility OF the soil
absolutely depends. Although the earth
worms are undoubtedly very i'm ortant
agents in overturuing and breaking up
of soil, IL appears 10 me that they are
most effective in the titled fields or in
the natural and artificial grass-lands. So
far AZ have been able TO observe, these
creatures are Tai ely found in our ordinary
forests where thick layer OF leaf mould,
commingled with branches, lies upon
the earth. The character of this
deposit is such that the creatures are not
competent 10 make their way through il,
and they therefore in the main avoid such
situations. Moreover, wherever the soil
is OF very sandy nature, earth worms
are scautily found if they are present at
all. These worms are practically limited
to the soils Of somewhat clayey charac-
ter, which have 40 coating of decaye
vegetation upon them.
As the greater portion Of the existing
soil has been produced in forest regions,
l shall first examine the action of various
animals upon the soils of wooded coun-
tries. The mammals are, of all our yerte
brates, the most effective in their action
upon the soil Of forests. Twenty species
OF more of our American mammals ar,
burrowers in the forest bed. They eithel
