There Is n man in California by the
name of Sewbuary who has great
hope in the future of the elephant, md
no wants to introduce the animal into
that state. All African explorers speak
highly of elephant steaks. The full
grown elephant weighs about seven
thousand pounds, and Mr.. Newbuary
estimates that he can count on some
three thousand pounds of tirst-class
meat from each animal. In twenty-five
years he expects to see elephant meat
for sale in all markets.
Steaks rs big as mattresses will hang
M on all sides, and French elephant
chops with handles on them Sin feet
long will lie on h counters. Elephant
hides, he thinks, will be found valuable
for leather, slightly thick. perhaps, but
it can he split. Then there is the ivory,
always in good demand. The clip OF
wool from an elephant will, of course,
he admits, be small. but there were
formerly woody animals of the elephant
kind, and he does not sec why careful
breeding may not revive the species.
Fine all California elephants u
clothing he considers possibility OF the
future. But it is not alone in these
ways that Mr.. Ncwbuary expects To
be able to teach California to profit
from the elephant. 1t is IL powerful and
Intelligent animal. and rs u beast OF
harden will be us successful i'll Cali

broken TO harness, and can draw cnor-

California trotting elephant may lie

has been. Cabmcn may yet call ont:
"licb, sir. kcb! Nice closed kcb and

beast the elephant has proved his supc-
riority in the Orient. Its gait, how
ever, is at present irregular, but Mr..
Ncwhuary secs no reason why it may

CHIoAoo's LAKE FRONT.

me supreme Court Rules on the Title
to Reclaimed Lands.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The supreme
court to-day In the Chicago an central
lake front case decided against the railroad.
Judge Field delivered the opinion.
The objeos OF the suit was to obtai n
judicial determination Of the title 10 certain
lands on the lake front at Chicago which
have been reclaimed from the waters of the
lake and are occupied by the railroad COM
pany; and also Of the title claimed by the
company TO submerged lands conssi tutfng
the bed Of the lake lying east Of its tracks
within the corporate limits Of the city. The
court holds the modern doctrine that th
same rules which apply to sovereignty over
lands covered by tide waters within the
limits OF the several states, are applicable
TO lands covered by the waters of the great
lakes Of this country, over which is con
Quoted an extended commerce with differ
ent states and foreign countries. These
lakes possess all the general characteristics
of open seas except in the freshness Of their
waters and in the absence of the ebb and
flow Of tide. In other respects they are
inland seas, and there is no reason or prin-
oiple for assertion of dominion and sover-
eighty over and ownership by the state of
lands covered by tide waters that is not
equally applicable TO its ownership Of and
dominion and sovereignty over the lands
covered by the fresh waters OF these lakes.
