Sagacious Monster.

Arthur Clay sends to the London
Spectator the following instance of the
sagacity of the elephant 1t was told
me, ne says, by Mr.. Quay-at the time
non-commissioned officer in the First
Battalion of the Sixteenth Rifles, but
now one of her Majesty's yoemen of the
guard. In 1858 his regiment was
marching from Peshawur to Kopulvic,
and was accompanied by train of ele-
plants. 1t was the duty of the mahout
in charge of each elephant to prepare
twenty chupatties or fat cakes made
of coarse flour, for his charge When
the twenty chupatties were ready they
were placed before the elephant, Who
during the process of counting, never
attempted to touch one of them until
the full number was completed. On
the occasion related by Mr.. Quay one
of the elephants had seized the oppor-
tunity of his mahout's attention being
distracted for moment to steal and
swallow one of the chupatties. When
the mahout, having finished the pre-
paration, began to count them out he
of course discovered the theft and pre-
sented his charge with nineteen in
place of the usual number. The ele.
plant instantly appreciated the fact
of there being one less than he had a
right to expect, and refused to touch
them, expressing his indignation by
loud trumpetings. This brought the
conductor of the elephant line
with whom Mr.. Quay had been in
conversation on the scene. Having
heard the explanation of the mahout
the conductor decided that the mahout
was in fault for not keeping a better
lookout, and ordered him to provide
the twentieth cake at his own cost.
When this was prepared and added to
the pile the elephant at once accepted
and ate them

has come at last. And the strangest
part of the invention is the fact that it
was Frenchman who evolved it, and
not an American, as is usual in such
cases. M. Roulez, French inventor,
devised the instrument, and cleo
tricians everywhere are wondering why
some one never thought Of it before.
The great trouble in this direction of
invention was to find something to do
away with the necessity of a battery.
Magnets without number have been
made for the purpose, but until the
present time none has answered the
requirement. M. Roulez conceived
the idea of using two magnets with
the same poles opposed and separated
by small bit of soft wire, instead of
the old horseshoe magnets with wire

a red stream shoots on high from the

water q little before admitting the
spectators to view the diminutive ex.
plosion the stream of red will also
move about, thus increasing the illus
ion of volcanic eruption.
Why does the claret ascend unaided
from the bottle? Because water is
heavier than wine and forces its way
way through the tiny hole, driving out
the claret, which gathers at the top OF
the water and forms the red sky caused
by the reflection of volcanic eruption.
