No q will ever be in doubt as to
whether Nature intended it to re-
present an elephant. q buffalo. q
rhinoceros, or q hippopotamus. 10
most cases ID is necessary to take q
particular stand at some distant
point when viewing such freaks
distance lending illusion quite as
readily as "enchantment;" but the
elephant rock Of Inyo is still an
elephant, whether we are a mile
away or stand directly by its side.
The stone elephant is situated four
miles west OF the village OF Lone
Pine. Inyo county. GAL, on the road
to Mount Whitney. II stands at the
mouth Of a large dry canyon. amid
low, broken, and rocky hills. desti-
tute Of all vegetation except sage
brush. It is about ten miles east oil
Mount Whitney, which is hidden by
the mountain range seen in the dis
tancs.
The rock that has taken the
eiephsntine form is o dark gray
granite that is almost the color Of
the skin OF an elephant. The stone
elephant is about % feet In length
by ID feet in hight. Those who SEE
il for the first time mistake it for &
petrifaotion, until they find on draw
ing near that it is composed Of
granite. The first discoveries
thought. on catching sight of it,
that they had found q petriied mas

asked about the freak said: "Yssh,

Eli of Attainder.

The word 'attaindcrn is from tho French
word teindrc, meaning to stain. According
to tho old English law, when person was
had been outlawed for any crime he was de-
privcd of all his civil rights, and all bis cs-
tates were forfeited to the government. This
was called attander and tho person thus
punished was said to he "attainted" Parlia-
ment might also thus deprive an offender of
rights, and the act was called a bill of "at-
taindcr." Not culy did those convicted of
high treason forfeit all their possessions
both real and personal and all their in
dividual rights as citizens Of the state,
but the oiicnse also worked "corrup-
ton of blood" that is, the descend
ants Of the offender could not inherit
any Of his property, nor any civil right that
had been his The disabilities created by the
corruption of blood could only be removed
10y act of parliament. The bill of attainder,
as passed by the English parliament, was a
legislative conviction with Judgment Of death.
Sometimes evidence was heard on the case,
but not often, for the object of the act was to
secure conviction without waiting for legal
proof of guilt The first recorded use Of the
bill Of attainder by parliament was in 1921,
when parliament wished to rid the country
Of the unpopular foyoritos, the Dispensers.
It's last use was in 1901, when Sir John Fen
wick was attained and executed for partici-
patton i'll the assassination plot In the $40
years intervening tho plan had been used
very often to dispose Of persons obnoxious TO
