FABLE ABOUT ELEPHANTS.
Their Memory of Faces Is in No
Sense Remarkable.

Their Memory of Faces Is in No
Sense Remarkable.
New York Evening Sun.
There is another fable of our early
chilnhood which Il certain young man is
able to diSpel with absolute authority,
having made long and careful series
of observations. This is fable about
elephants and their wonderful power of
remembering faces and avenging inju-
rleS. The young man, who, even as a
yOungSter, was of a reflective and eX-
pe1imental cast of mind, began his eX-
periments at very tender age by disre-
specially twisting the nose of one of
the elephants in Central Park. Not the
whole of this proboscls, you know, the
youth was too small for an army con-
tract of that kind, but just the extreme
tip of the trunk, as it was held out to
him in friendly salutation.
The big mass of meat roared and
quivered with pain. 1t was evident
that wringing the end OF an elephants
proboscis was like wringing the nose of
man. Here was a new sensation both
for the boy and the elephant, and one
that the former proposed to follow up
as long as the latter was not at liberty
to demonstrate. The next day he tried
it again. Now here was chance for
the elephants memory to step in and
protect him from repetition of yes
terday's indignities. But it didn't.
Just as before, the trusting animal put
out his prObOSciS in greeting, and just
as before the bad boy gave it a twist
that brought tears to the eyes of the
enormous creature-Why not elephant
tears'' as we'll as crocodile sand made
him howl with pain. Day after day
did this yOungSter go up to the park
and prosecute his researches In the
psychology of the elephants mind. and
every day the kindly creature assisted
in his studies by giving him his trunk
to experiment on.
Once during the month it happened
that the elephant did break his cage
and get away. The inquiring youth
stood near. Now he was sure that the
elephant had begun to remember, and
that his own little special judgment day
had come. But the elephant rushed
past as if there was no such things in
all the world as inquiSitive small boys.
And then for the first time the boy be-
gan to doubt the eternal remembrance
of an elephant. But still he was not
wholly satisfied. 1t might be that there
Was some mental popularity of this
particular elephant, the youth reasoned,
| and so from time to time he went OH
twisting elephants trunks whenever
| he got a chance.
And as he has travelled much during
| these years that he has been getting
older. ne has probably had more chances
and twisted more elephants trunks,
both in Europe and America. than any
other living being. Moreover, he has
set his friends to experimenting upon
elephants, whenever it was possible,
and of no fact III life is he more certain
| than that beautiful story of the ele-
plants lasting memory is clear and
unmitigated myth.

of unhappy domestic experiences. In
his case, however, the faults were all
on his side. He was absolutely without
morality and almost without decency.
and he Dragged to his wife Of his early
amours and successes till she was
forced, in self-lefense, to close his
mouth with an effective sarcasm. LORD
Lytton III our own time was also unhap-
PLY though Economically married, and a
large part at least of the subsequent
misery was due to his temper and con-
duct. But perhaps full justice has not
been done to the i'll effects of the long
and hard struggle with poverty which
he maintained with such success. Out
with such constant labor during many
years.
Among the disappointed men of
genius may be mentioned Buckle. the
historian of civilization; Henry Field
ing, the novelist; Edward Gibbon, the
historian; Lord Mansfield, and, in
early life, John Wesley. The case of
Gibbon has some satirical features. He
fell in love with Mile. Curchod. at Lau-
same. Switzerland, and ''she listened,

sion; and | might presume to hope that

England he found that his father would
not consent to the match. After
painful struggle" he says, II
yielded to my fate; l sighed as
a lover; l obeyed as son." 1t
may be difficult to decide without
q doubt whether his obedience was due
to flial piety or TO weak nerves and a
feeble pnlsation. The lady did quite as
well, for she married distinguished

his youthful attachment. Charles FoX's
private life was made somewhat objec-
tlonable by his having as his wife
Mrs. Ormistead, to whom he was not
married for many years, though finally
they we're married legally. The Mar

that lasted many years in marrying a
Frenchwoman who had been his wife i'll

was the right thing to do; but these
right things are done SO late that they
almost cease to be right. and the misery
they inf1ict is always lasting and real.

A Cincinnati Man Who Was Pres

James P. Kilbreth saw the first spade
full of earth dug for the first railroad
projected in the United States, and in
fact in the world.
''That first spadeful was cast up by
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton. Nd"
said Mr.. Kilbreth IL remember the
day very we'll. 1t was the Fourth of
July. 1928, in Baltimore, and it was for
the Baltimore d Ohio railroad. l can
say that l saw the first spadeful thrown
up for the first railroad ever
projected not only in the
United States but in the world. re-
member that Charles Carroll, of Car
rollton, made the address that day. And
he was very old man. He spoke from
an iDprovlsed platform. There were
perhaps 5000 people present. Such a
man would have drawn great crowd
anyway, and perhaps as many or more
came too see and hear him than because
of any particular interest in the event.
People were rather incredulouS of the
scheme, and sharply criticised both it
and the men concerned in its projec-
ton. | said that this was the first
railroad projected, and | speak
truly. AS early as 1925 people in
Baltimore began to talk about rail-
road toward the West. Of course, there
was good deal of talk, as there always
is about such things, and it was 1928
before it was begun. In the meantime
little road, twelve miles long, between

been built, perhaps about 1926, but his
tory will verify that. mention this to
show that, though the idea of a road
was first projected in this country. they
had one running before we did. That
road, believe. is now part of the Liv-
erpool and Manchester line. There had
been tramways in England before this
period, and one or two in New Eng
land.
81 can remember that Carroll made
great speech, and then he came slowly
down off the platform, and, taking the
spade handed him, threw up the first

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Mark Lano
Express, IN its weekly review of the
British grain trade, says: English
wheats are stronger. The average adj
vance in price is I'd. Foreign wheats
are quiet. The news that the French
crop will be per cent under the full
average caused slight rise. Oats are
weak owing to the heavy imports. Bar
lev is firm. Round corn has dropped
Sd; the prices of fiat are maintained.
AT to-day's market fine English wheats
were very firm at Sd advance. Samples
of new whites, plump and of fair weight

were steady. Prices were i'll favor OF
holders. All sorts of flour were firm.
American corn recovered Sd. Barley
advanced Cd. Beans and peas were
dull.
