AN ELEPHANTS PALATE,

The Sense Of Taste and Smell Re-
markably Acute In Elephants.
An elephants digestive functions
are very rapid, and the animal, there
fore, requires large amount OF fod,
der-six hundred pounds at least. In
its wild state the elephant leeds heart
lily, but wastefully. 1t is careful in
selecting the few forest trees which it
likes for their bark or foliage. But it
will tear down branches, and leave
half OF them untouched. 1t will strip
off the bark from other trees and
throw away large portion.
As it is nocturnal animal, it selects
its trees by the senses of touch and
smell. It's sense OF smell is to indicate
that wild elephant can wind an enemy
at a distance OF a. thousand yards, and
thenerves of it's trunk are so sensitive
that the smallest substance can be
discovered and picked up by its tiny
probosCis.
An elephants palate is very deli.
cate, and the animal is whimsical in
selecting or rejecting morsels of food.
Sir Samuel w. Baker, in his "Wild
Beasts and their Ways" tells an
anecdote humorously illustrative OF
the whims OF n tame elephant, belong
ing to the police OF Dhubri.
This elephant was fed with rice and
plantains. The stems OF the plantains
were split and cut into transverse Sec
tons, two feet in length. Three
quarters OF pound OF rice were
placed within each tube of plantain
stem. One day, while the elephant
was being fed, a lady offered the
animal a small sweet biscuit. 1t was
taken in the trunk, and almost i'm
mediately thrown on the ground.
The mahout, or driver, thinking
that the elephant had behaved rudely,
picked up the biscuit and inserted it
i'll a parcel of rice within a plantain
stem. This was placed in the ele-
plants mouth, and at the very first
crunch it showed it's disgust by splitting
out the whole mess. The small
biscuit had disguised the animal, and
FOR several minutes it tried by its in
serted trunk to rake out every atom
from its tongue and throat.

Ready,

During the rebellion in Chile, one
young girl had the chance OF distin-
gushing herself at moment OF dan
ger, and hesitated not an instant in
embracing it. This was the daughter
OF Don Claudio Vicuna, and her ia
ther thus described the story OF her
herosm to the author OF Ozark Days
In Chile"
One evening at six o'clock, during
my absence my daughter was writing
some letters for me at the table. Sud-
denly she heard crash of broken
glass, followed by loud explosion at
the street end of the room, and there
had been so much bomb work OF late
that instinctively she guessed what
had happened.
Before she could collect herself suffi.
GENTLY to rush for the door, q second
bomb was hurled in and rolled almost
to her feet, providentially without ex-
ploding. This she picked up, and
threw from the other window into the
court below; then seeing that some
brown paper was smouldering in a
hai-open box of rifle cartridges, she
quickly dashed q large jug OF water
over it.
By this time the servants had rushed
in, and succeeded in extinguishing the
fire which had caught the curtains
and furniture.
But my bravegirl, remembering that
had gone out unarmed, took my re-
volver and started out alone to meet
me on my way home, and it was not
until | had been provided with the
weapon that she told me what had
happened.

A Novel Sort of Railway,

The novel bicycle railway about to
be established between Mount Holly
and Smithfeld, n. j., will be the only
one of the kind in the country. The
road bed is a frame work resembling
an ordinary board fence, on the top
of which is a steel T rail, on which the
grooved wheel OF the bicycle runs. a
brace run extends down on either side
OF the fence, on the end OF which is a
wheel that runs along the bottom
board of the fence, and prevents the
machine from overturning.
Each bicycle will carry one or two
persons and the machines are easily
propelled as there is but little friction.
The trip between the two places can
be made in seven minutes, and us
there is considerable travel each way
daily it is the general belief that the
