ne Elephant Among the egyptians.

The Elephant Among the Egyptians.
The Carthaginians appear to have
tanned the African elephants feat now
regarded as impossible. On the other
hand, Thothmes Ill encountered a herd
of 40 elephants in Mesopotamia, and
shows an elephant as part of his Asiatic
spoils. Possibly the Assyrians may even
at that early period have obtained ele-
plants from India. The Persians used
them at Arbela, aud the Greeks brought
them to Palestine, as Pyrrhus unless IN
deed his elephants were African) did to
Italy.
But the range of the Asiatic elephant
may have been wider in early times than
it now is, for IL survived with the rhi-
noceros in Honan down to 600 b. @. The
elephant is correctly represented ON the
black obelisk of Shalmanezer ii (600- -S25
b. c. with the rhinoceros; and other
Bactrian and Indian animals, notably
monkeys, occur on Assyrian bas-reliefs.

It is proposed that balloon photogra-
ply should be used in sieges by the be-
siegers. One plan is to start small
balloon, loaded with a camera, to wind
ward of the fortress, the plates being
exposed by means of clockwork arrange
ment or slow match. These, of course,
are adjusted to the time which would
elapse before the balloon will reach the
point or points where the exposures are
to be made. The gas escapes, and the
balloon descends on the farther side of
the fortress, within the besiegers' lines.

The Amateur Athelellc UNION Sahc "
Life Uuder Communicative Tendencies.
New YORK, April 1.-The Amateur
Athletic Union-might be In worse shape,
so it's officials claim.
Secretary James Il. Sullivan said to-
day: The Amateur Athletic Union was
born fighting, and will die with a battle
on its hands. Athletics have reached a
point where they cannot get along with
out misunderstanding OF some kind.
There is trouble within the ranks OF
the A. A. L., and really never expect
TO see any improvement in this direc-
ton. A great deal is being said about
the law recently passed by the Union
not to recognize associations formed
within the regular divisions Of that or
ganization. Most Of the trouble we ex-
perience has arisen from just this state
of affairs. These inside associations
are not composed OF the representative
clubs in their locality in nine cases out
OF ten.
OF these leagues, one is in the West,
one in Buffalo, one on Long Island.
They form the nucleus Of the movement
which has been made to have the pres
ent divisions divided, so that each
might become separate division. The
better class OF clubs do not desire this.
Take it In the western part of the State.
for instance. The clubs that are de-
handing separate divisions out there
do not represent the real athletic senti-
ment. There will be no separate divis-
ions formed until there is a general de-
mand for them by the clubs that are
the backbone OF athletics in their re-
spective localities. Yes, it Is true the
Union will shortly give up jurisdiction
over boxing"
