Heard Elephants, Ear. Flap.

I lately made two shooting trips to
the jungles of lower Burmah, and
each time in the midst of the greatest
hardships. The forest scenery had
the power to force itself upon the no
tice as seeming each day more and
more impressive and magnificent,
At such times both the silence and
the strange sounds of the jungles, each
in their different way, combine to af-
feet the sportsman; the occasional
weird hootings of the monkeys in the
treetops; the distant flap, flap of an
elephants ears breaking in upon the
perfect stiffness as you approach the
herd, or perhaps, instead, the penny
trumpet-ike squeak which announces
its proximity; and, as the day wears
on, the stiffness is suddenly broken in
upon by the whirrihg and soon almost
deafening sound with which with one
accord the insects revive after the heat
of the afternoon. All these influences
combine to produce an effect which
those who have not experienced them
will find difficult to imagine. and those
who have experienced them must find
hard to describe.

A Boy LiSs Saver.

Dennis f. MCCARTHY, q sixteen-year-
old Brookline lad. performed an act
the other day which not only displayed
courage but rare presence Of mind in
saving the life Of . two-year-old child
Of Joseph Cariere, says the Boston
Her0lJ.
Young MCCARTHY was at work re-
pairing the roof Of his fathers barn off
Boylston street, which abuts on the
village brook. A platform leads from
Mr.. cCarthy's house to the top of the
barn. The child walked along this
platform to the roof, and before he was
noticed fell into the brook, a distance
of about twenty feet.
The water was about three feet deep,
and the current was quite strong.
The child's cries attracted McCar-
thy's attention, and, realizing the stu
alton, he jumped from the building to
the Boston and Albany Railroad track.
In order to save the child's life he
had to act promptly, for the arch,
whore the brook enters the tunnel, was
only 100 yards away. MCCARTHY ran
down the track and reached the culvert
just in time to jump into the brook and
grasp the little one, who was being
carried along to certain death.
By this time large crowd had col
lected, and every one was loud in the
praise of McCarthy's courage and pres
ence of mind.

ENoLAND.s AGED ADMIRAL.

Sir Provo Wallis Has Been Going 20 ses
and Fighting for Eighty-sevsn Years.
Sir Provo William Parry Wallis, the
senior Admiral of the British feet, cell
ebrsted his hundredth birthday on
Sunday last, and is still in the service.
In no other country in the world would
such q thing be possible. and it has
never occurred in England before. The
old man is still hale and hearty and, to
all appearances, likely to enjoy life for
some time longer. He has drawn pay
from the navy for ninety six years, has
been actually in the service for ninety
of these, and it is eighty seven years
since he first went to sea. he Was
born at Halifax, Nova Scotia, April IL,
1871, while his father was stationed
there as chief clerk of the navy yard,
and, according to q custom then pre-
vailing in the case of sons of officers or
people of influence, was placed on the
pay roll of of the vessels of the navy
when he was but 4 years old. In 1900,
when 9, he went aboard the Cleopatra
for training. and four years later made
his first voyage in her. The Cleopatra,
after fight in midocean, was captured
BY the French frigate Vile de Milan,
but was rescued by another British
vessel Q week later. In 1903, at the
age Of seventeen, he was made SEQ
ond Lieutenant, and was in many 90
tions during the French war. He was

Alexander 81. Stephens made the fol-
lowing prophetic utterance at Savannah,
Ga, March 81, 1861: Eve are young
republic just entering upon the arena Of
nations; we will be the architects Of our
own fortunes. Our destiny, under Provi-
dence, is in our own hands With wis
dom, prudence and craftsmanship on the
part Of our public men, and intelligence,
virtue and patriotism on the part Of the
people. success to the full measure of
our most sanguine hopes may be looked
for. But II unwise counsels prevail, II
we become divided, II schisms arise, II
discussions spring up, If factions are en-
gendered, II party spirit nourished by
unholy personal ambition, shall rear its
HYDRA head, I have no good to prophesy
for you. Without intelligence. virtue,
integrity and patriotism on the part Of
the people, no republic or representative
government can be durable or staple.

The temple is q great point Of At
traction. It stands on high hill q
little to the west of the river. and is
built Of stone. Its about eighty feet
long and sixty broad The walls are
fifty feet high and are Of . yellowish
tnge. On the front of the building
one sees this inscription: House Of
the Lord, Built by the Church of
Christ in 1884" The interior of the
temple is unlike that of any other place
OF worship in the country, and prob
ably its like has no existence outside of
Mormon cities. Leading from the YES
Thule are two doors that open into
separate aisles, one for the men and
the other for the women.
Two Latin inscriptions are still
plainly visible, but these attract less
attention than the odd arrangement of
pews. At either end of the assembly
room is . pulpit, built up in four tiers,
where the twelve priests sat. On the
front of the pulpit are letters denoting

the titles of the high priests. The Sec
ond story is practically repetition Of
the first, and above this is the old Nor
man school room. Here are to be seen
the very blackboards upon which
Prophet Smith is said to have traced
letters for the children of new con-
verts. It is proper to state, however,
that no writing of the prophets is now
visible.
The temple tower rises far above the
massive walls, and is visible for miles
around in all directions. From the
shapely dome magnificent view Of q
grand country is obtained. Farm
houses to the west, south and east ap-
pear in numbers, while to the north
Lake Erie stretches in vast expanse to
the horizon. It is yet early spring in
this section of the country, but already
the white sails, some scarcely visible
from the dome of the temple, show that
lake commerce has begun. The Latter
Day Saints are confident that Kirkland
will again become the Zion it was q
half century ago. The ground upon
which the temple stands is to them as
holy as earth ever gets to be, even in
the eyes of people of stranger belief.
It is still in the hands of the Mormon
church, or rather in the hands of de-
scendant of Joseph Smith. It is EN-.
phatically product of the @first Zion, !"
for the very stones in the walls, the
timbers and the shingles, were obtained
in Kirkland. Mormon converts quar-
RED the rock from the ledge along the
river, and Mormon han1s hewed the
timber and mixed the mortar that went
into the building.

1913. The Captain having

harbor in 1913. The Captain having
been wounded and the First Lieute-
nant killed, the command Of the frigate
and her prize devolved upon young
Wallis. He was promoted for his gal
lantry and efficiency in this action, and
in 1919 was made a Captain. The dates
of his promotion after this were as fol-
lows: Rear Admiral, 1851; Vice Ad-
miral, 1857; Admiral, 1868; and Ad-
miral of the Fleet, 1877. It was only
by the special order of the Queen that
he was retained in the service after he
had attained the age of seventy, at
which the rule requires retirement.
This was on account of the exceptional
length and character of his service.
He was created G.. @. B. in 1873.

From the illustration given anybody
can obtain q clear idea of what the
machine is like. There are two tanks,
in each of which are placed paddles
shaped like screw propellers. These
are revolved rapidly BY an electric
motor, and the scalding hot water
thus driven upon the dishes cleans
them, it is said, better than by hand.
They are placed in . cage that il
swung from an overhead track, and
after they are cleaned in one tank they
are rinsed off in the other. The whole
operation takes but one minute and re-
quires the services of but one person.
From 5000 to 10000 pieces are daily
washed by this machine.

There is no propelling mechanism
about the toy whatever, simply q joint

holes made in the legs, as shown in the
Illustration. This second rod prevents
the walker from taking too long steps.
The key to this toys pedestrian tai

The walker rests the weight of his
body upon one of his legs while he is
putting the other forward. The axis
Of his body does not rest upon YER
heal plane, and in order to cause him
to move forward on the inclined sup
port it is necessary in starting him to
give him slight shake sideways. This
shake, increased by the oscillation of
the balancing pole, causes the walker
to lean first to the right and then to
the left.

ment, inclined to the right. All the
