THE ELEPHANT GOT LOOSE.


Terrified by the Surf He Dashed
Along Po"kaway BeNch.
ROCKAwAY BEACH. July 11.--After
all the bathers had left the surf yes
terday afternoon. a large elephant was
led down Pier avenue. The elephants
name Is Jolly, and he is owned by one
of the animal shows at Seaside.
As Jolly neared the end Of the svenue,
an attendant tied large rope ar,urd
one of his fore legs. In his manner
they led him off the avenue and out Int
the surf.
Jolly followed his keepers until they
got out about waist high In the water,
when. lowering his trunk, he scooped
up about a half barrel Of the salt water.
He swung his trunk around and threw
the water al. over his keepers. He re-
fused to go out any further. and the
breakers dashing up against him
frightened him so that he gave a plunge
for the shore. pulling the rope out Of
the attendants hands. Jolly dashed
along the beach. trumpeting loudly.
Fortunately there were but few peo-
pie on the beach at the time. although
hundreds watched his antics from the
various pavilions,
His keepers finally succeeded in quiet
Ing Jolly, but could not induce him to
40 into the water again.

Court Martial Witnesses.

All court martial witnesses who are
Protestants are sworn by laying thei1
right hand, ungloved, on the Bible,
closed or open, while the oath is re-
cited. Kissing the book is frequently
required in addition to the laying on OF
the hand. Raising the right hand and
keeping it raised during the recital OF
the oath is also form adopted by a
number. There are many who prefer to
affirm rather than to swear, and those
are accommodated by saying: "You dc
solemnly AFFIRM instead of .'solemnly
swear" the right hand being raised
or placed on the Bible as before. Form
erly it was required to place the right
hand on the open Evangelists.
In swearing Roman Catholics, the
Bible is closed and has marked on the
outer cover cross, generally cut out of
white paper and pasted on. Sometimes
a crucifix is placed upon it, which the
witness, after the oath is recited, kisses
when there is any suspicion in the mind
of the president of the court martial, or
in that of any of its members. The
witness, if Roman Catholic, after
kissing the cross, is frequently directed
to cross himself.-New York Times.

Another Wisconsin Diamond.

Recently young son of Charles De-
vine, who resides on farm ~ miles
southwest of the village of Oregon,
Dane county, Wis, found brilliant
little stone in pebbly clay bank and
carried it home as a curiosity. The
father submitted it to William II.
Hobbs, professor of mineralogy and
metallurgy in the University Of Wis
consin, and he'said that it was genu-
inc diamond. It measures three-eighths
of an inch in diameter, weighs four
carats, and is rhombic dodecahedron,
with its 10 faces slightly rounded, one
of the signs of good stone. 1t was in
the glacial drift and came of course
from the north, where geologists have
long insisted conditions exist favorable
to diamond discoveries. This specimen
is of good color and is worth perhaps
$500.
This find recalls the big diamond
found at Waukesha in 1884, which sold
for 1000, and about which extensive
litigation occurred. Both finds are in
the same drift. The Oregon diamond
bed is amosg the Sugar river pearl fish.

A Stag Steam Generator.

A Stag steam generator, for utilizing
the waste heat contained in the furnace
Stag for the production of steam for mo-
tive power purposes, has been designed
by an Australian inventor. The ma
chine consists of a steel shell in the
form of strong egg ended receiver.
having fattened faces ON the top and
bottom, and through these fiat portions
a number of Galloway tubes arranged
in two rows and tapered from 8 inches
at the top to 10 inches at the bottom
are passed, secured to the shell by
fanges. The lower or larger end of each
tube is closed by means of cast iron
door manipulated by means Of con-
venient lever, and the upper end of each
tube is provided with funnel for con-
veying the Stag into the tubes, pair of
iron rails also passing across the upper
face of the boiler and all the tunnels,
thus serving as track for the Stag
pots, At each end of the boiler a bin
is provided, into which the skin of the
Stag is dumped, which always sets on
the cast iron pots from which it is pour
ed, and this redhot material lying
against the ends of the boiler plates
serves to conserve the heat.-New York

Peter Cooner ON Interest.

Peter Cooper was always a careful
and prudent business man. He was al
ways opposed to the methods of many
merchants, who launched out in extrav-
agant enterprises on borrowed money,
for which they paid exorbitant rates of
interest. Once while talking about a
project with an acquaintance the latter
said he would have to borrow the money
for six months, paying interest at the
rate of 8 per cent. why do you bor-
row for so short timer" Mr.. Cooper
asked. Because the brokers will not
negotiate bills for longer. " well, if
you wish,'' said Mr.. Cooper, II will
discount your note at that rate for three
years. Are you in earnest?" asked
the would be borrower. 'Certainly
am. l will discount your note for $10,-
900 for three years at that rate. Will
you do it?'' ''Of course will, " said
the merchant VERY we'll, y said Mr..
Cooper, 'just sign this note for $10,
900, payable in three years, and give me
your check for $500, and the transac-
tion is complete. but where is the
money for me?' asked the astonished
merchant. You don t get any money"
was the reply. Your interest for 36
months at 3 per cent per month amounts
to 10S per cent, or $10,S00. Therefore
your check for $500 just makes us even."
The force of this practical illustration
of the folly of paying such an exorbi
tant price for the use of money was
such that the merchant determined new
er to borrow at such ruinous rates, and
he frequently used to say that nothing
could have so fully convinced him as
this rather humorous proposal by Mr..
Cooper. York Post,

An Evening With Andrew Lang,

The spelling of the name of Miss Agnes
Repplier and her singular felicity in
epigram and phrase inevitably suggest
her familiar name in Philadelphia, where
she lives. This is the ''replier." Her
dinner conversation in this respect is Gel
ebrated among her friends. Miss Rep
plier, as is well known, worships at one
particular shrine, that of Andrew Lang.
Last summer Miss Repplier was in Eng
land and had the anticipated good for
tune to be asked to meet Andrew Lang
at dinner. 1t would not have been hu-
man for Miss Repplier not to have made
g mental toilet as she adorned her body
TO meet Mr.. Lang. But a dinner, we are
told, in England is a serious matter.
Course after course passed unseasoned
by joke, unspiced by epigram and with
out the grace of felicitous allusion. It at
length came to an end. Nor did thecon
yersation have any future. The great
Andrew sat down on the floor and played
for the rest of the evening with kitten.

THE ANGLER FISH,
It Secures Its Prey Like an Artist, With
Regular Strategy.

| It Secures Its Prey Like an Artist, With
Regular Strategy.
There is fish that secures its prev
| like an artist, with regular strategy,
| and, strange to relate, nature has fur
nished it with full equipment for the
purpose, rod, line and bait. The an
gler, as it is called, is by no means
beauty It is about a yard long and
has a huge, toadlike head, an enor-
nous, gaping mouth and formidable
array of teeth. The first dorsal, or back
fin, is almost wholly wanting, its place
being occupied by two or three long,
slender, movable spines which are fas-
tened to the body by means of joints
One is attached by hinge, which per-
mits of only backward and forward mo-
ton.
The first spine is connected by a reg
ular ring and staple and admits of
movement in all directions, as it is pull
ed this way or that by the muscles.
This is the anglers pole, which contin-
ues into fine fiIament or line, and at
the end there is loose, shining slip of
membrane, which plays the part of
bait.
The angler fish is slow swimmer, and
it would have but little success if it had
to chase the swift, active fishes upon
which it feeds, SO it snares them. Par
TALLY hiding itself in the mud or sand,
it waves its long filaments with their
glittering tips. AS is well known, fishes
are attracted by glistening objects
moved about in the water. The neigh
boring fishes, following the instincts of
their inquisitive nature, come to exam
inc the curious object, and suddenly
they find themselves snapped up in the
wide jaws of their hidden foe.
The angler is very voracious c1ea-
ture, and on several occasions it has
been known to seize a fish that had been
hooked and was being drawn to the
surface. In one such case the angler
seized a Goldfish and would not loosen
its grip until it was struck on the head
with boathook. On another occasion
the fish fell q victim to its own glut-
tony, for having dashed at conger eel
that had just been hooked, and having
taken it into its mouth, the eel con-
trived to escape through one of the gill
apertures, and thus it was the uncon-
scious means of involving its captor in
its own fate.
Even the cork floats ON lines and nets
have been swallowed by the greedy
fish, and when taken in a net it de-
YOURS its fellow prisoners with perfect
unconcern.- M. Friend in Phila-
delphia Times.

The Lamp Rock of Asia.

On the shores of Lake Rangkul, III
the Cashgar mountains, in central
Asia, stands the famous Lamp Rock Of
Asia, which is SO called from cave in
its side from which a constant stream
of pale, greenish light is emitted, Ney
Elias, the English adventurer, who pass
ed it in 1885, thinks it possible that the
light is due to some phosphorescent
mineral in the sides of the cavern near
its opening. The natives of that section
have never attempted to investigate the
matter, each seeming content with the
story told by his father, which is this:
The cave is the dwelling place of a
demon, who guards vast treasures stored
there, and the light is from a diamond
worn in band around his forehead. -
Elias explanation of the mystery is
probably the true one.-St. Louis Re-
public
