BRAVE ANIMALS.
The Elephant shows Courage In TIE
Face Of Danger

The Elephant shows Courage In TIE
Face Of Danger.
1t is said that the scent or roar Of
q bear in the jingle will often scare
elephants beyond control. And they
have the same intense nervousness
shown by the horse at the sight Of
things unusual or out of place. A big
elephant, which was employed to drag
away the carcass of a dead bullock,
and had allowed the burden to be at
tached by ropes without observing
what it was, happened to look around,
and instantly bolted, its fright increas-
ing every moment as the unknown OBJ
ject jumped and bumped at its heels.
After running some miles like a dog
with tin can tied to its tail. the ele-
plant stopped and allowed itself to be
turned round, and drew the bullock
back again without protest. Yet an
elephant without a rnahout gives, per-
haps, the hest instance of disciplined
courage-cou-age that is, which per-
sists in the face of knowledge and dis
inclination-to be seen in the animal
world. They will submit, day after
day, to have painful wounds dressed
in obedience to their keeper, and meet
danger in obedience to orders, though
their intelligence is sufficient to I'M
derstand the peril, and far too great for
man to trick them into belief that it
is non existent
No animal will face danger moro
readily at mans bidding. As an in
stance, take the following incident,
which recently occurred in India, and
was communicated to the writer. A
small female elephant was charged by
a buffalo, in high grass, and her rider,
in the hurry Of the moment. and per
haps owing to the sudden stopping of
the elephant, fred an explosive shell
from his rifle, not into the buffalo, but
into the elephants shoulder. The
wound was so severe that it had not
healed q year later. Yet the elephant
stool firm, although it was gored by
the buffalo, which was then killed by
another gun. What is even more
strange is that the elephant was not
'.gun-shy" afterward.

The existence of race of dwarfs On
the Atlas range, about which there
was an animated controversy last
year, has received unexpected con-
firmation. Walter t. Harris, who has
returned from a journey in Southern
Morocco. communicates the facts
While travelling along the foot of the
mountains he saw thirteen or fourteen
persons, none of whom were over four
feet six inches in height, natives of the
upper mountain regions. The Moors
describe them as "a wild people,
living in built houses in the
rocks and snow, hunting mou-
fion with extraordinary agility and
given to shooting anyone -netrating
to their domains" He attributes their
small stature not, as some have assert
ed, to the fact that they are the rem
nants Of the troglodytes, but to the
circumstances in which they live. He
believes them to be ''merely a certain
collection of Shleh tribes, who. through
the high altitude At wt.ch they live
and the extremes Of cl-.iate they are
subject to, from their poverty and ina
bility to raise crops. from the scarcity
and bad quality of such food as they
are able to collect, have, in the lapse
of centuries, become of almost extra
ordinarily stunted growth"

New York Dealers Kept Busy shipping
wild Animals Abroad.
There is a great demand nowadays
from wealthy Europeans for American
wild animals. Every year hundreds
are shipped abroad by New York deal
ers, but there never was finer pair of
any kind sent to Europe than the
young bison which left by the steamer
Bowie lately.
where they have been on exhibition
for a number of years. They were
consigned to w. A. Conklin, who pur-
chased them for William Cross, Liver
pool animal dealer, who in turn pur-
chased them for an English lord, to be
placed in his game preserve for breed
ing purposes. The bison came origin
ally from the plains of Wyoming.
On their way East they got into a
terrible rage and ripped and tore their
boxes to bits, and the train men had
hard work to keep them in subsection.
When they were boxed at the St
Louis Zoo they gave considerable
trouble. John c. Gray, a veteran cow
boy, and James Crawley, a former
ion-tamer, lassoed them around the
legs and horns and then bound them
tight The male weighs fully 5000
pounds and the female 5000
Mr.. Conklin has a large order for
bison and other wild animals to be
filed for the English nobility before
next fall Some of the animals are on
their way East. Several panthers from
Washington state are among the lot,
besides several consignments of deer,
elk, mountain sheep from the Rockies,
some bear from the Sierras and a large
lot of other game. He has one pair Of
handsome panthers at his stable.

ships snea,hed With Copper.

The proposal to sheath ships with
copper coated with mercury is at
tracing attention. The idea is that
such an arrangement would efrect-al-
ly prevent barnacles from adhering
to the bottom of the vessels. In order
to keep the mercury on and to pre-
vent oxidation the copper would be
constantly charged with electricity.
This would bring about another in
teresting possibility. Any gold or
silver that might be in the water
would be precipitated on the bottom
Of the vessel. and it could then be
scraped of when the vessel arrived in
port.

An Instructive Fable.

A swarm of flies had been feeding
all summer on the blood Of a thrifty
cow. The feed was good early in the
season, and the cow gave a large
amount of milk and gained in flesh at
the same time. But when the grass
dried up and the weather was cold
the flies were driven of. Then the
leader Of the swarm. named Benjamin.
sat on q rock and made a speech. in
which he said: Now let us see if
the COW vii, do as well without US as
she did while We were sucking her
blood. "-Manchester Union.

The Largest Tiger skin.

The length of the largest tiger Skin
after drying is said to be thirteen feet
six inches. but it must be noted that
skins expand considerably in the cur
ing. The greatest length of skin
undressed is given as ten feet two and
one-half inches. That goes far toward
confirming what we have said as to
the finest of these latter-day tigers
falling far short Of their predecessors.

slider a trustworthy authority. dis
cusses the matter at length in his

own, of various animals killed in

twelve feet to twelve feet seven

A practical joker had . good deal
of fun lately. at the expense of the

who were sitting in the Office Of the
Allen House, says a Georgia eX-
change. About 10 o'clock the shrill
cry of Murder. murder! help! he S
killing me-" broke upon the stiffness
Of that ncighborhood. and instantly
there was . general stampede for the
street from whence the cries seemed
to come. At the same instant two
policemen dashed around the corner,
and seeing the crowd in front of the
hotel they rushed up breathlessly to
discover the cause OF the tumult.
or course no one could explain,
only that some one outside had yelled
murder. Just at that moment deep
groans, followed by the faint cry of
..Help! oh. Lord. help mer' came
from the stairway leading up to the
second floor OF the Hamlin building.
and the crowd made a pell nell rush
for the door. Several pistols flashed
in the moonlight, as a score OF deter
mined men. headed by the police
officers. climbed the stairway. Lights
were procured and every nook and
corner of the building was thoroughly
searched. Several men climbed out
on the roofs of neighboring buildings,
but nowhere could the body of the
murdered man be found.
1t was indeed a horrible mystic ".
and all marveled greatly As to what
it could mean. About the time the
crowd was ready to divide into
squads for the purpose Of securing
that entire part o: town, it leaked
out that one of the guests of the
hotel was a ventriloquist. and had
put up job on the other guests as
well as the police officers. Nobody
said word, but in two minutes the
street was deserted and every drum
mer was securely locked in his room.
