the boys to write each short essay
on the great navigator and the fol-

columbus was man who could
make an egg stand on end without

to Columbus:

He had ship and sailed over the
sea in the direction where he thought
America ought TO be found. The
sailors quarreled, and said they be-

after many days the pilot called to
him and said;

A CUNNING ELEPHANT.
Dan Run a Penny-In-the-slot Business,
Bat Cauaot Count.

Bat Cauaot Count.
The tricks of the marvellous per-
tHming elephants exhibited in London
few years ago seem fairly eclipsed
by the feats of the elephants at the
Belle Vue Gardens, Manchester, of
which, by way OF an example of the
intelligence OF brutes, Mr.. George
Fremantle has sent an account When
penny is given to one Of these
animals it puts the coin into the slot
of the box, where, as it falls, it releases
biscuit, which the elephant takes
with evident satisfaction.
Some of the visitors occasionally
give the animals half penny, and as
experience has taught them that this
coin is Of no value for the purpose of
obtaining biscuits, it is generally
thrown contemptuously back to the
giver. A more marvellous fact, how
ever, is to come.
One day visitor gave the baby"
elephant a number OF half pennies in
succession, each of which was thrown
at him again as soon as received. The
visitor then gave the animal two half
pennies at the same time.
The animals demeanor Immediately
changed. For more than five minutes
he held the two coins in his trunk, rub
bing them together, now rocking from
side to side, and presently seeming to
be bordering deeply while perfectly
still. At last he dropped the two half
pence in the box together, with the re-
suit that their combined weight gave
him the desired biscuit, at which he
gamboled about in a manner which ex-
h.bited extravagant delight. As yet it
appears that the baby elephant has
not yet learned to hold one half-penny
in reserve untii he gets another In
other words, says Mr.. Freemantle,
''he has not yet learned to count"
