It is well known fact that the wider the
base on which body rests the greater is its
stability, for then, even with considerable
inclination, its center of gravity falls within
Its base. The well known leaning towers of
Pisa and Bologna are SO much out of the YER
teal that these seem ready to fall at any
moment, and yet they have retained for CEN
turtles their present positions, because the
perpendiculars let fall from their centers of
gravity are within the base In the cases
alluded to the position of the center of gray
ity is fixed. This is not the case with men
and animals, whose center Of gravity is con-
tinuaIy varying with their attitudes and
with the loads they SUPPORT.

Instinct of the Elephant.

Among the other animals that have
shown q most remarkable instinct, the
elephant should have a place. James
M. Davis, secretary of the Congdon
Brake Shoe Company, relates an incl
dent that happened at jamestown, N.
Y, some years ago when he lived there,
denoting the great sagacity of that ami
NAL. There was to be circus in town,
and as usual the procession was making
its grand march through the streets. To
reach the grounds it was necessary to
cross bridge of some length. The
caravan moved slowly over with no stop
or hitch until the elephant reached the
bridge. when he stopped, hesitated, put
out one ponderous foot, and tested the
first plank by pressing on it, but was
apparently not assured of its safety, for
he refused to bulge an inch. Coaxing
proving of no avail, another plan was
tried a large sized traction engine was
found in the town it was fired up and
run slowly up alongside the elephant.
Pausing there for an instant, it was
again slowly moved forward on the
bridge, the animal watching every mo-
ton made with critical eye. As the
engine proceeded an encouraging word
was spoken, and the elephant followed
up the machine, rather gingerly, it is
true, but he did not stop again until the
bridge was crossed. The big engine
gave him courage to make the attempt.

DURING the past year large capital has
been attracted toward the development
of the sugar beet industry in the United
States ON the Pacific coast. Although
that section Of the country, with its pc
Guitar surroundings, does not generally
present the meteorological and climatic
conditions necessary to secure the best
results in the cultivation of the beet
root for sugar making purposes, yet q
factory was started last October, with
equipment and machinery capable of re-
ducing three hundred and fifty tons of
beets per diem, and has proved great
financial success. A full supply of beetsy
cultivated by the heatgrowers of Cali
fornia, kept the works fully employed,
and a boom was given TO the town Of
Watsonvillc. The factory consumes
seven tons of lime daily in the chemical
process of extracting the sugar, which
is distributed pro rata to the growers OF
beets free, and can be returned to the
soil Besides, the farmers averaged over
eighty dollars per acre for their beet
products, while the recent report of the
agricultural bureau estimate the returns
from the total production of the five
principal crops-oats, corn, rye, barley,
and wheat-in the United States to be
less than twelve dollars per acre as an
average.

vANDERBILTs KITCHEN.
Where n $4,000 Cook Prepares the
Food in Silver-Lined | tensils.

Mr.. w. K. Vanderbilt's chef has had
such renown that the temple in which
he moves and the altar at which he Of
ficiates must be of interest, writes New
York correspondent. Both are worth
his cost to import and worthy his talents.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's kitchen is really very
beautiful to the eye. Thepurity of mar
BILE, the lustre of tiles and the CLEAN of
metal are what one sees. The floor is
of marble, the shelves, the tables, the
sinks, all the things that are rarely
moved are Of marble and cut with the
precision of Jewels. The walls are lined
with cream enameled tiles and all the
angles are covered with brass mouldings.
Where these meet the doors and win
dows they are covered with these metal
mouldings, dispensing even with wood
en- trimmings. The ceiling is made of
white enamelled tiles set in cement
But one does not imperil the head
of a $4,000 cook with q loosely
set brick, so each tile is also
secured with raised metal bolts.
Accounting all this CLEAN of white and
metal is the large double range. 1t is
set in one corner, under a large semi
circular hood, enriched with embossed
copper ornaments, and swung from iron
bars wrought in spirals and foliations.
This hood is so powerful an agent IN
carrying off the odor and greasy steam
that it will watt from the hand a greasy
newspaper held under it.
The cooking utensils are in in keep
ing with all this splendor. They are of
copper, with wrought iron handles,
many of them ornamented, and some of
them have been copied from special
pieces in the Cluny and other museums.
Luxurious cooking utensils are indeed
the thing of the moment, and wedding
present not disdaiDed is a set of copper
silver-lined, such as are now displayed
among gems and gold at the jewellers.
Leading from the kitchen to the but
ler's pantry are spiral stairs entirely
closed in glass to shut out possible odor,
vet retain the light. And this is so sue
cessfully done that although the kitchen
is directly below the dining-room and
buffers pantry nothing disagreeable
makes its way aloft.
Before referring to another attach
ment of this kitchen, allusion should be
made to the drains and hose outlet, in
the centre of the marble floor, for it is
by n hose which may play fearlessly in
any rart of the room that the kitchen
is kept clean. Connected with the
kitchen and built under the sidewalk,
is a series of vaults. These are for ice,
meat, vegetables, milk and eggs, and
are built in three sections of hollow ma
