Trapping an Elephant.

Silent and almost motionless, quite
hidden in the darkness, stood the huge
form of an old bull elephant, one of
whose tusks had been damaged in his
youth and had become totally decayed.
His head was bent forward in order to
rest his one monster tusk upon the
ground, his trunk loosely coiled be-
tween his fore-legs, was also resting on
the ground, and his great ragged ears
tapped systematically in vain endesvors
to shake off the myriads of mosquitoes
that persistently lowered around his
head. Suddenly the forest was lit up
by most vivid fash OF lightning, fol-
lowed an instant afterward by a crash
ing peal of thunder. The elephant
raised his head with started jerk, his
huge limbs shaking with fear.
Almost before the rumbling echoes
of the thunder had died away, the rain,
that had been threatening for 80 many
hours, fell in torrents. Flashes Of
lightning succeeded each other so rap
idly that the attendant pesls of thun-
der were converted into one continuous
roar, and the violence of the wind soon
increased to q veritable tornado-a
tropical hurricane.
Trees were blown down and uprooted
on all sides. The terrified elephant re-
NAMED for some time motionless with
fear, but as the tempest continued, the
monster became suddenly panic-strick-
en-, and charged madly through the
dense forest, stumbling and falling
over the trunk of uprooted trees in his
endeavors to gain some open patch
where there would be no danger of be-
ing crushed by the falling timber.
Suddenly, in the midst of mad
rush, the elephant sank to the ground
with a sharp squeal of pain. The
poor brute had severed the vines
that supported one of the traps
that had been arranged the pre-
vious day, and a heavily weighted
spear was plunged between his
shoulders. For some moments he
remained motionless, then the great
body rolled slowly from side to side in
vain endeavor to free himself from the
spear, but the weapon was barbed and
the points had penetrated too deeply to
be shaken off. Here he remained, ex-
hausted, until daybreak, his hide COW
cred with patches of mud and deep red
smears of blood.

The New GIEard Gun.

It is reported that the Colts, of Hart
ford, have bought the American rights
to the Giffard gun patents for $1,000
900. The gun is simply a small tube
of toughest steel, only nine inches In
length, charged with iquefied carbonic
acid gas, which is one of the most pow
erful propulsives known. It is fixed to
the barrel of the rifle IN such a way
that when the trigger is pulled drop
of the iquefed gas is forced into the
breech of the gun behind the bullet,
where, instaneously resuming gaseous
condition, it develops s force equal to
500 pounds pressure on the square inch.
The bullet IS then expelled at any de-
gree of velocity desired. for the power
can be increased or dimished by sim

plosion, no smoke. no noise. no recol,

Came Back For Revenge,

One day while proceeding up canon
in the Ration Mountains large silver
tip bear and her cub leaped out and
made rush up the sloping side of the
valley. There were three in our party
and every Winchester began to talk
very earnestly and excitedly, The cub
tumbled dead the first fire. call him
a cub, but the truth is he was more
than half as large as his mother, and
weighed 240 pounds. The old lady did
not show any injury, and the moment
the young one tumbled, she turned and
came back square in the teeth of the
rifles, and, Selling her dead cub in her
mouth as a cat does kitten, raised it
fairly clear of the ground and cantered
up the hill-no easy matter, as, aside
from the 240 pounds of limp and drag
ging weight, she had to force her
anxious, loving way through oak
brush, which in many instances might
have detained steer. She got fairly
away albeit we fred several shots after
the cub fell.
We had Just reloaded the magazines
of our Winchesters, and were commun-
ing as to taking the tran OF the old pear,
which showed plain and clear in broken
brushes and disturbed oak leaves and
pine needles, when looking up we be-
held our game coming back straight for
Us. She meant business, too. Her red
and streaming tongue lolled out of her
half-open mouth, and her eyes partially
closed in rage would have seemed
quizzical In expression were it not for
the ferocity which leaped and flashed
in their depths like sheet lightning be-
hind some cloud screen. She came
straight to us, and we settled her hopes
at the first fire. We found the cub up
the divide. She had carried it at
least sixty rods, with two bullet holes
in her shaggy hide as we found when
we skinned her.
