An Elephants Intelligence.

In India domesticated elephants are
usually given drink from large wooden
troughs filed with well water by means OF
n pump, and it is commonly an elephant
that fills this trough. Every morning he
goes regulars TO his task. While visiting
n friend at his fine residence in India saw
q large elephant engaged in pumping such
a trough full Of water.
In passing ! noticed that one OF the TWO
tree trunks which supported the trough at
either end had rolled from its place 80 that
the trough, still elevated at one extremity,

water reached the leyol of the top at the

Dutch Noses.

A study Of Jan Stems pictures OF Dutcn
home life some 200 years ago proves TO con
viction that in his day the noses OF his
countryfolk were quite as fantastic as they
are now Without their pendulous, heavy
mirth inspiring organs of smell, the artists

and housewives, would not make one sihile
half as much as they do. 1t is well that the
average Dutchman is good natured lei
low.
No matter whether his amia0ility be due
to his phlegmatic temperament or to the
reasoned discipline in his soul. the result
IS the same to the outer world. If he were
naturally disposed to be prey to his pas
sions, there would be something horribly
discordant in the broad comedy OF his race

The Brain and Bodily Disease.

Considering indeed that what Is called
the mind is at all events, under its physio-
logical as distinguished from its psychology
zeal aspect. merely the brain and nervous
system, it is not surprising that 1t should
be an exceedingly important factor both ID
the production and the alienation Of bodily
disease. None of the passions and emo
tions which we are accustomed TO speak oil
as mental are unconnected with some cor
responding state of our physical organlza
ton, and they are occasionally associated
together i'm a very remarkable manner.
More especially the force of imagination
and the power of hope and fear in control
ling or modifying the action OF our vital
functions have been recognized from tht
earliest times. and it is difficult to assign a
definite limit to their possible operation.
AS was observed nearly half century
ago bv distinguished authority on super
stitions connected with the history and prac
tice of medicine, it IS simply matter Of
conjecture how far they are or are not capa
BILE of extending their influence. 1t is GER

WATER FOR OAKLAND AT COST.

There Is such pressure at these wells
that stones as large as hazeInuts are con-
stantly coming out, and the added force of
steam pump brings up stones each as
large as goose-egg. These have been
carefully examined by biologists, who say
they come from the bottom of an under
ground river.
Should the city decide upon securing this
artesian tract it is probable that the
water would be pumped direct into mains
and the reservoirs done away with. The
modes in use in different cities have been
investigated, and it is believed the Chi
cago system is the best There a crib is
erected six miles from shore, where a
shaft is sunk several hundred feet. Three
pumping stations are on the shore line.
The stroke of one piston draws the water
through the tunnel, and the reverse pushes
it into the mains. In that manner an
equal pressure is always kept up, and the
Chicago Fire Department has not COM
planned of lack of supply since its adop-
ton. Fire-alarms ring in the pumping
stations simultaneously With those in

Water Committee. but the matter will
soon be acted upon by the entire Council.
The question now being considered by
those having it in charge is, Where can an
inexhaustible supply be secured? They
believe the arteslan tract near Alyarado
answers the question, and experts will in
vestigate. 1t is known that one well in this
vicinity has flown for such a long time
that nobody can remember when 1t was
bored. But the well that gives the greatest
promise is that christened "rhe Dingee,"
and pictures Of 1t are here presented. one
showing Mayor Pardee and members of
the Council watching the flow. A small
steam pump attached TO this well caused it
to flow for four days at the rate of 8, 500, 900
gallons of water every twenty -four hours.
And this is only one wello Of six.
All this water is going to waste within
eighteen miles Of Oakland. and residents

formed lake upon which pleasure ats
were put and which was supplied with
carp and pike. Three days ago the San
Francisco Hunting Club leased house on
the banks of this lake for the coming sea-
son, and Sunday night their employees
were angling in this body OF water. which,
had it only been piped cityward, might
have supplied homes with pure fresh
water at nominal rate.
The morning call., 1893-08-29

and thus save for the citizens the profit
that would accrue to Mr.. Dingee, and,
above all, the profit that goes TO the
Contra Costa Water Company. 1t has
been carefully figured that, computing the
difference between the amount the city
pays the above-named corporation and the
amount 1t would actually expend per an
mum with its own service, the result would
in five years be equal tothe entire cost of
laying water mains. erecting pumps and
sinking shafts, while after that time it
would be so much profit.

drawbacks to Oakland,'' said Mr. Capell,

be investigated. If it cannot be secured

LOOKS VERY GLOOMY.
There Would Seem to Be but One
Future for Siam.
The Country Will Eventually Be Au-
nexed by One of the West
ern Powers.

BANGKOK, Aug. 2s.-There is every pos
sibility of renewal of the tension be-
tween France and Siam, and there is in
consequence most uncomforta bic feeling
in court and diplomatic circles here. As
matter Of fact negotiations are practi-
cally at standstill already, and no date
has been fixed for the resumption of dip
lomatlc correspondence. 1t is felt that the
Siamese commercial interests are attacked
in vital point by the new demands made
BY France, and it is believed Siam cannot
assent to them. There is a very unsettled
feeling, and the DEVELOPMENTS of the next
few days will be aDXiously awaited. This
condition is the more unexpected from
the fact that it Vas believed when Siam
accepted the supplementary uItimatum of
the French Government the whole trouble
would be speedily adjusted and the line of
demarkation between the French and
siameSe possessions 4 gOuld be speedily
fixed.
The new demands destroy this hope. and
the worst Of it is that Siam can look tor no
help from England, or at least no real
help, for the interest OF that country in the
affairs of Siam is sellish one, and it is felt
here that she interfered in the first place
merely to secure a reversion of the SIAM
ese possessions in the event of fiuai col
lapse of the kingdom. The outlook. on the
whole. is gloomy one, and there seems no
salvation for the Siamese from annexation
by one or the other of the Western powers.
