the Indians under Black Hawk, in

points of union. The two men who
snake the elephant" fore legs and
hind legs, have something else to do
besides stamp about on the stage.
They are joined together by a yoke
which fastens around the neck,
shoulders and arms of each man, and
this yoke serves as a communication
between the two men. When the
front legs want to make a movement,
this yoke prompts the hind legs as
to their action. If the front legs
want to advance, that movement
naturally draws the hind legs. BY
the mechanical construction of the
"beast" the rider is enabled to shift
his position on the back Of the ele-i
plant at will. If this law we're
violated or not adhered to the ele-
plants equilibrium would be upset.
The legs of the elephant are made
of guttapercha, and are worn pre-
cisely as trousers, and are held in
position by heavy suspenders. The
soles of the feet are made of heavy
India rubber. The head rests upon
a socket, which gives it an elephant
tine u%ndulation. And in this head is
a clock-work system of pulleys and
wheels used by the man who plays
the forelcgs, and by this system he
manipulates the trunk, tusks, eyes
and ears. When the tender wants
to curl the elephants trunk inward
he inclines his head forward, grasps
a tag at the end of a thong which is
fastened to the trunk, and by a
movement of his head, sets in mo-
tion q large wheel which turns so as
to draw the thong tight, giving the

that their lands and property
!should never be taken without their

treaties were made whereby the In.

territory. At last, on Nov. 3, 1904, at
st. Louis, . treaty was made by WILL

of Indiana Territory, with the Sac
