Elephant Slaughter.

The elephant of Africa is still toler-
ably abaadant animal. Its numbers,
though doubtless diminished by more
than one-half within this century, are
probably to be counted by the hundred
thousand. Nevertheless, in less than
100 years the field which they occupied
has been greatly reduced and between
the ivory hunter and the sportsman of
our brutal race armed with gums OF ever
increasing deadliness it will certainly
not require another century of free
shooting to annihilate the African spe-
cies.
In view of the present condition of the
life of these noble beasts it seems in
a high measure desirable that a thor
eugh-going effort should be made to ex-
tend the domestication to the point
where the form will not only be won
from the wilds but will be permanent
element in our civilization, in the man.
ner of our common fiocks and herds. 1t
will be an enduring shame if, by neglect
CT our opportunities, the utmost is not
done to attain this end.
1t appears fit that this task should be
undertaken by the British government,
which in modern days has displayed a
skin and fore thought in the admin
istration Of its Indian provinces, I'M
exampled in the history of colonies.
Owing to the slow-breeding rate of the
elephant it may require more than
century fer experiments to attain any
definite result, so that the task is clear

ALL ABOUT HOW WE WALK.
Muscles Used and the Mechanical Work
They Do.

The chief muscles concerned in walk
ing are those of the calf and back of the
leg, which, by pulling up the heel, ALSO
pull up the bones of the foot connected
with it, and then the whole body, the
weight of which is passed on through
the bones of the leg
When walking the trunk is thrown
forward, so that it would fall down
PROSTATE were not the right foot plant
ed in time to support it.
The calf muscles are helped in this
action by those on the front of the trunk
and legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and the trunk slanting
forward when the heel is raised by the
calf muscles, the whole body will be
raised and pushed forward and upward
This advancement of each leg is eff
fected partly by muscular action, the
muscles used being (D those on the
front of the thigh, bending it forward
on the pelvis: % the haulstring mus
eles, which slightly bend the leg on the
thigh; (3) the MUSCLES on the front OF
the leg, which raise the front OF the foot
and toes. preventing the latter in swing
ing forward from hitching in the
ground.
When one foot has reached the ground
the action of the other has not ceased
There is another point in walking.
The body is constantly supported and
balanced on each leg alternately, and
therefore on only one at once. Hence
there must be some means for throwing
the center of gravity over the line OF
support formed by the bones of each
leg as it supports the weight OF the
body.
This is done in various ways and
hence the differences in the walk of diff
ferent peaple
There may be slight rotation at the
hip joint bringing the center OF gravity
of the body over the foot of this side.
This rocking" motion Of the trunk and
thigh is accompanied By q movement
of the whole trunk and leg over the foet
planted on the ground and is accom-
panied by compromising outward
movement at the hip.
The body rises and swings alternate
ly from one side to the other ~ lis CEN
ter of gravity comes alternately over
one or the other leg, and the curvature
of the spinal bones Is altered with the
varying position of the welght.-Lols-

The Formula of Beauty.

There is a formula of beauty, which
at first thought would seem to fully de-
fine its qualities. The small head, low
forehead, large, dark, not too promi-
nent eve, straight nose, full lips and
little ears, the complexion clear and
tinted like flower, the neck long and
slender-such was the recipe which the
Greeks gave long ago for the making
of beautiful woman. But it is not
necessary to demand all these, or Raph-
aeIs grace, or Ruben's cOloring, or Sir
Joshua's charm, or Lely's flowing
locks, for we sometimes find in face
which is deficient in some, if not all of
these charms the allure, the attrac-
ton of beauty.
Beauty has done much to disturb the
eighteen Christian centuries. Not dy-
Mantle has done more to disintegrate,
to tear up, to destroy, than this inn
mense power.
The veriest tyro could begin with
Homer and not end with John Richard
Green in recounting the mischief which
beauty has done. The beauties have
enjoyed their little time of triumph.
Every woman enjoys being beauty; it
is her birthright; but the great beauties
have seldom been fortunate women.
Therefore we look at a lovely face,
either in portraiture or in fact, with a
certain melancholy, "A sort of feeling
that 'whom the gods love die young"
But is it fact or is it fancy that styles
of beauty come and 90 like styles of
dress? 1t is quite certain that every
age has its face; every country its type.
We all know the most patent of them
and say: that is last century face" or,
that is an Irish beauty" From Cleo
patra down we have realizing sense
If what she and other bellies ought to
,ook like, whether she did

Most Beautiful of Flowers.

The Ratfiesia Arnold is a strange
plant 1t grows in Sumatra and de-
rives its name from Sir Stamford Raj
tles, governor of the island, and his
friend DR.. Arnold, who discovered the
wonderful plant
The Rat1lesia Arnold is said to be the
largest and most magnificent flower in
the world. 1t is composed of five
roundish petals, each foot across and
of brick-red color, covered with nu-
merous irregular yellowish-w swell
mgs; the petals Surround a cup nearly
foot wide, the margin of which bears
the stamens. This cup is filled with a
tieshy disc, the upper surface of which
Is everywhere covered with projections,
like miniature cows horns The cup.
when free from its contents, would hold
about twelve pints of water. The
flower weighs fifteen pounds; it is very
thick. the petals being from three-quar-
ters to an inch in thickness. With its
beauty one is led TO expect sweetness
but, alas. its odor is that of tainted
beef, and DR.. Arnold supposed that
even the flies were deceived by the
smell and were depositing their eggs in

carbon.
The DionIa, or Venus fy-trap. is a
native of the sandy Dogs of the Caro-
linas. 1t is little plant of from six to
twelve inches in height, producing a
loose head of large, whitish flowers,
somewhat similar to the Lady's Smock.
The flower stalk rises from a rosette Of
yellowish-green leaves, spreading on
the ground. Each leaf is divided by a
deep incision into two portions, the
lower being a broadly winged foot
stalk, the upper the blade or true leaf
Itself. This upper portion is the fly
trap. 1t is roundish and divided into
two equal parts by strong mid-rib.
The margins are fringed with row of
strong bristles. The leaf is little hol-
low on either side of the mid-rib and
the upper surface is dotted with minute
reddish glands: each hollow is furnished
with three slender bristles If an insect
alights on the leaf and touches one of
the bristles the sides suddenly close
with force so great as to imprison the
little creature, despite its most frantic
endeavors to escape. The bristles on
each side of the leaf interlace like the
fingers of a hand clasped together, or
like the teeth of a steel trap. After a
time the leaf slowly unfolds.

Joints and Cartilage.

Why do joints work so easily and
never give US any pain? In fresh joint
its appearance in life can be readily
studied. In the ball and socket Joint
the round end of the bone, as well as
the cup, are covered or lined with a
smooth substance called cartilage" or
'gristle" kept moist and smooth with
synovia. Cartilage contains no nerves,
and has no feeling; if it had, we should
have pain when we moved. The bones
are kept in place at the joints by very
strong bands or ligaments in hinge
joints number of these bands are
fastened above and below, but in ball
and socket joints they also surround the
joint, forming cap, in which the joint
moves freely. In disease this smooth
cartilage gets worn away, and the ends
of bone rub together like those of a
skeleton; the pain is great, because the
bones have nerves, though the cartilage
has none A bone without cartilage is
like decayed tooth with an exposed
nerve. In a healthy tooth the nerve is
well covered, and gives no pain. and
in healthy bone the nerves are there,
but they are only felt when the cartil-
age is worn away.-H9spitat (L0nd0n.)

MERRILL, Wis, Nov. 1.-The exam

a straightforward story of the whole
matter from the time he left home
in Atkins county, Mimi. last May, I'M
til he formed the acquaintance of
Frank Williams. He told how they
had formed plans to wreck a passen
ger train on the 500 railroad for the
purpose of robbery and how the wreck
occurred, all of which Is well known.
AT the conclusion of his testimony,
Judge Helms said he had enough evil
dence to bind the prisoners over to the
January term of court. They were
committed to jail, without bail. They
Will in all probability, plead guilty
and be sent to state prison. Hazelton
does not seem to realize the enormity
of the crime committed. Williams is
evidently more hardened character
than he looks. He never gave any
sign of taking any interest in the
matter, while Hazelton related the
horrible story.
