ST LOUIS. March at is languor-

but the campaign for the mayoralty is
too hot to allow any of the politicians
to yield to the enervating influence.
Some idea of the interest being taken
in the campaign may be had from the
statement of manufacturer of candi-
dates buttons, who says that he has al
ready made nearly million of them on
orders, and that he expects much larger
orders as soon as the nominations are
made. A million campaign buttons
means a cost to the candidates of some
thing more than CSC, 900, as the buttons
by the wholesale cannot be bought for
less than five cents apiece. The profit
to the manufacturers is about a cent q

in st. Louis by local engravers and
enamelerS.

have made efforts to get it, but can
not. President Cleveland was nomin-
ated in the larger of the two halls in
1sss, and the politicians consider the
place sort of mascot. but the gentle
men in control of the building have
decided that hereafter they will devote
the halls and naves entirely to their
legitimate use. 1t would be entirely
too much trouble. too, for the eXhibi-
tors getting ready for the fall to re-
move the elaborate displays and de-
vices which they are already prepar-
ing, and which they would fear to
trust to the curiosity of the crowd in
attendance on a political gathering.
Some of the devices, depending on
electricity for their effects, have cost
the men who have prepared them to
attract people to view their exhibits,
thousands of dollars and a careless
touch might be extremely costly.

An Elephants sunshade.

On hot summer days in New York,
when the mercury is well up in the
nineties, it becomes almost necessity
to carry an umbrella, or shade of some
kind, to protect ourselves from the
burning rays of the sun. We should
hardly expect, however, a native of
India-residing in this city--to have
the same need for sunshade, par
ticularly when the native is a huge
Indian elephant. That an elephant
should feel the heat in our climate
seems rather absurd, but as he does,
it is quite in keeping with the general
intelligence of this animal that he
should invent some means of protecting
himself from it.
The elephant inclosure in Central
Park contains no trees nor shade of
any kind, and on those hot days when
the heat is almost unbearable, it seems
hotter there than any place in New
York. Grouped around the inclosure
are usually scores of persons, many
with sunshades and umbrellas. intent
ly, watching the elephants. Some of
the huge animals are carefully tossing
hay upon their own backs, whilst
others, whose backs are almost covered,
may be seen peacefully resting. New
ly mown grass is what the elephant
prefers for this purpose,-perhaps be-
cause it feels cooler than hay,-but hay
answers the purpose very well. How
many visitors to the park on these
warm days have realized that they
were not the only ones carrying sun
shades. and that the elephants were
protecting themselves in like fashion!
The fact that elephants never at
tempt to thatch their backs with hay
during the winter, although the same
opportunities for doing so exist, seems
to prove that they use the hay as pro-
lection from heat. They may spor-
lively throw little hay about, but
nothing more. However, in fy-time,
there are good and sufficient reasons
for the animals adopting the same
means of defense again; therefore, when
the flies are fierce, the elephants cover
their huge backs as on hot summer
days. = Meredith Nugeast, IN st.
Nicholas.

THE PERSISTENT POWER OF WATER.
Constantly Working In One Form or An
other to Destroy the Land.

A southern engineer contributes ar
article on Geology and the Mississippi
Problem" to the current number of
the Engineering Magazine. In it he
says:
"We find in water the only tireless
agent that works in the modification
of continents; and instead of being the
great renovator of the land, as it is
popularity conceived, it is the great de-
stroyer. The destruction of ancient
Rome has been attributed to time.
But it was due simply to the moisture
OF the atmosphere working through
chemical agencies. 1t was water, in
visible, but penetrating even the very
stones of the wonderful city, that
caused her to crumble into ruins, and
gave to modern Rome grade greatly
elevated above her ancient grade.
But it works not alone in the cities
and towns. There is not a hill on
earth that has not been shorn of some
thing of it's attitude by this subtle
force, and there is not a mountain on
earth, if not ftfully renewed by vol
canic action, that has not been COM
PEELED to lower its peak before this
universal leveler of the exalted. It
may be a dreadful thought, indeed,
but we do not know absolutely that we
are not dependent on the earthquake
and the volcano for keeping our conti-
mental habitat above the level of the
ocean; for water not only destroys, but
it has the persistency and force to
carry off to its burial place in the sea
all that it has caused to perish. 1t may
take long time at its task. but, work
ing either in its gaseous, its liquid, or
its solid form, it seems to be the most
persistent thing .on earth, never per-
ishing, and, however divided and in
visible at times, always ready to unite
its forces for supreme effort at the
degradation of continent"

Loaned an Emperor Money.

The old woman with two wooden
legs who used to occupy seat at the
corner of the Rue de la Paix and the
Boulevard des Capucines, where she
was as well known and considered as
much of fixture as the opera house
or the Grand hotel, has vanished from
her accustomed post and is said to be
dying. She was not exactly beggar,
for she never solicited aims, and al
ways had some small wares, chiefly
key rings and dog chains for sale. .s5a
Her presence at that spot dates back
for nearly fifty years. She was .
young woman when she came to estab-
lish herself there. Everybody knew
her by sight and nobody knew any
thing about her. In that remarkable
book, "The Englishman In Paris, she
is mentioned as having been at one
time protege of Napoleon Ill, and
as having offered to lend him money
when he was Prince Louis Bonaparts
merely and was understood to be in
financial difficulties. One of the news
papers of Paris published an indecent
anecdote respecting her some years
ago. She forthwith sued the Offend
ing journal and obtained not only .
contradiction of the story (Which was.
indeed, a sheer fabrication and an
abominable one), but certain amount
of damages as well ell-Pbitadelphi0 Tel

as it seemed to me. You could have
walked on the heads of the people, but
you could not move in such q crowd.
The Emperor came and stood silently
before them, and they were silent at
first; then the shout that went up was
almost awful in it's intensity, and the
Emperor, with q military salute and
few words of thanks, went in. But
that did not satisfy them; they cried
out again and pressed up closer. A
peasant woman who had been stand
ing near my carriage said: %, let nae

war;
"I opened the door and she climbed
in and stood up. I passed my arm
around her to steady her. and turned
to the balcony of the first floor. In a
moment the Emperor appeared and
stood, the center of all eyes and hearts.
The peasant woman folded her hands
and said: Pray for him, and all those
in his position, they have SO much
there she paused, but knew she
meant blood; she was thinking of her
boys-sso much on their handsr The
Emperor again thanked the people for
their welcome, and asked them to dis
perse then, and they did. Almost be-
fore I could recover myself enough to
look around, they were all gone, and
the great place in front of the palace
had only few other carriages, like
my own, waiting to drive off. +"

THESE ARE PRETTY BIG FROGS.
They InhabIt Australia, and Are q Boon
to the Thirsty Miners.

Frogs are enormously plentiful in
Australia. Prof Lumholtz speaks of
being greatly annoyed by them in the
houses at sheep ranches, were mot
only on the floor, but even in the wa
ter jar, the batrachians croaked mer-
rily and often SO loudly as to interfere
with conversation" There is one
specimen of frog, very big, which
buries itself during the dry season in
the ground. Frogs of this kind con-
tain much water, fact known to the
natives, who dig them up in the dry
season and quench their thirst by
squeezing the water out of them. The
white people sometimes resort to these
frogs for water. They know the little
mounds, resembling mole hills, under
which the frogs lie hid, and dig them
out. According to report such frog
contains about a wineglassful OF clear,
fresh water.
The Australian farmers have many
enemies to fight against, besides those
which have been imported into the
country, like the rabbit. Large fruit
eating bats do much damage to the
orchards, and it is no pleasant sight
for the industrious agriculturist to see
devouring swarn4s of these so-called
flying foxes advancing on his crops of
an evening. Wild dogs were former
ly very numerous, but they did so
much damage that they were destroy
ed without mercy. On large planta-
tions a man is kept whose sole work is
to lay out poison for them. One of
the greatest annoyances in certain
parts of Australia is the poisonous
nettle or "stinging tree" 1t is so
poisonous that if its beautiful heart
shaped leaves are only put in motion
they cause one to sneeze. They are
covered with nettles on both sides, and
sting from them gives great pain.
Horses wounded by them roll as if
mad from pain, and if they do not at
once receive attention they will in this
way kill themselves.

Cave-Dwe11ers in Alaska.

1t looks to the n. Y. San as though
a living remnant of the cave-dwelling
race, which once lived in Arizona and
the regions thereabouts, had been dis
covered as far north as Alaska, or upon
q small island off the Alaskan coast
which was recently visited by the
United States cruiser Bear. The Bears
officers, while exploring the upper sur
face of the rock known as Kings
island, which rises above the waters of
Bering strait, found an aboriginal
tribe of cave-dwellers, who seem to
possess some the characteristics of the
curious people which in old times ex-
listed far to the southwark. From the
accounts given of the dwellings we in
fer that, in construction and in group
ing, they resemble those of the cliff
dwellers of Arizona, New Mexico and
Colorado. Some of their implements
are similar to those that were made
by the cave and cliff people elsewhere;
but their food is not like that which
was used by their southern kin, who
had no opportunity of fattening upon
whale blubDer or walrus meat. 1t is
hardly worth while, however, to specu-
late about these Alaskan cave dwellers
until we have fuller information con-
cerning them. That the island had
some Inhabitants was known before it
was visited by the captain of the Bear,
whose report is likely to be of interest
to American arch8ologists.

A Pioneer in legal Reform.

A Maine lawyer tells how, many
years ago. as student just beginning
his study of human rules and regula-
tions, as he terms the science of law,
he adopted a method that ten wears
later was put on the statute books and
is now common practice. In other
words, he got ahead of the law about
ten years. He was left alone one day
in the office. the lawyer being out of
town. To his dismay an old fellow
who lived some miles away came in,
saying he had been sued before trial
justice and the case came on that day
and he wanted it attended to. The
young disciple had better acquaint-
ance with the Office broom than with
legal principles, but he questioned the
caller and learned that his chief de-
sire was to try his case before higher
court and not before the trial justice.
So, arming himself with the courage
of clear conscience, he went before
the Judge" with his first client, fixed
his "pleadings" up after fashion, and
then told the court squarely that it
might enter judgment against the old
man, and from it he would appeal.
The "other fellow" who wanted to try
his case then and there, protested
stoutly that the thing wouldn't do;
that party couldn't appeal from a
Judgment he had consented to, etc.,
but the student convinced the Justice
that @there was no law against it, and
pushed his appeal through. He charged
the regular fee for attending to the
case, which the old man forked over
willingly.
