that war with Chill is among the
probabilities, nevertheless the
Navy Department is taking the
preliminary steps necessary to get
in readiness for such war. Not
only have all our available war
vessels been ordered to the Pacific,
but arrangements are being made
which will give the Department
the control of large number of

as merely precautionary, as those
who ought to be posted, are of the
opinion that Chilli will apologize

Will the African Elephant Work.

In modern times, we have only to look
to India to be convinced of the great
usefulness of the elephant. To the
agriculturist, who uses him before his
wagon or his pillow. he is indispensable
and for the transportation Of heavy
articles, he has no rival. We see him
carrying immense tree trunks out of
the Indian forest and by his indefati-
gable industry. In picking up and car
rying of large stones. aiding the con.
struction OF roads and railways. For
labor OF this kind coolie receives
from four to eight annas, while Ave
and six rupees are paid for the daily
work Of en- elephant. From this fact,
we conclude that one elephant per-
forms the work of from twelve to
twenty-five coolies.
From the record OF the British ex.
petition against King Theodore OF
Abyssinia in 1868. we learn that forty.
four elephants were shipped from
Bombay for use in the campaign.
Each animal was in charge Of two
men. OF this number five succumbed
during the campaign. The remaining
thirty-nine rendered valuable services,
being entrusted with the transportation,
through . mountainous country. Of

Life History of PrOminen: People Al
ways Kept in Readiness.

ways Kept In Readiness.
Newspaper obituaries are not always
written on the spur of the moment. In
fact, the reverse, as rule, is the
case, and the lives of great men or
hand of the journalistic biographer
long before death knocks at the door.
In every important newspaper Office
in the United States is a department
devoted to the preparation and preser-
walton of the biOgraphers of promi-
nent people and where they are
available for immediate Use. and
where memoirs, shorter or longer, ac-
cording to the public importance Of
the subject, are regularly classified
and 'pigeon-holed," ready for use
when the fatal moment arrives. From
time to time these records are added to
and brought up to date for the purpose
OF avoiding confusion or delay in case
that the biography is to be made use of
at brief notice. To large part of
the public this information will be in
the nature of news and will serve to
explain to their wondering minds how
a two or three column obituary OF
some public man appears in the daily
papers in conjunction with the an
nOuncement of his sudden death.
1t is curious fact that the practice
Of writing obituaries OF great men
seems almost invariably to have the
effect of keeping them alive. At any
rate they rarely die verv soon after
their biographies are written, and
very frequently many years elapse be-
fore their death gives an opportunity
for their posthumous praises to be
sounded.

cannon, ammunition and supplies. It
was frequently very difficult to pr ,cure
proper food for them, and as i, wa,
often necessary to traverse great dis
tances to reach the watering places,
the death of the five animals is as:rb-
ed to these hardships. Although elc-
plants move slowly through mount
ainous country and soon become foot
sore they performed their task with
admirable faithfulness. Without them
it would have been necessary to await
the building of wagon roads.
