a SLEEPING ELEPHANT.
Vastly Different from One That Is Up an
Awake.

Vastly Different from One That Is Up and
Awake.
The elephant in his native wilds can
be active enough and even swift, but
as we usually see him in captivity,
stumbling reluctantly in circus pro-
cesSiOns, or swaying gently on his
great wrinl1led legs inside his stall,
while awed little boys feed him with
peanuts and ginger bread, he certainly
looks like the most lazy, easy-going
and good-natured of beasts. Often he
drowses, and his huge head hangs
heavily, and his little sharp eyes are
closed for moment; but an elephant
really and entirely gone to sleep-set-
tied down for his nights rests an
other spectacle, and one which the
public seldom has an opportunity to
see.
Mr.. Cleveland Moffet was allowed to
pass the night among the animals of
the Hagenbecl menagerie, and having
seen it describes it in recent maya
zine article.
There is no stranger sight in a men,
agerie," he declares. ''than that of an
elephant asleep. The huge legs are
bent TO right angles at the knees, and
the trunl is curled into the mouth, the
whole suggesting shapeless mound of
mud or clay, or a half-inflated balloon.
1T bears no resem blance to anything
possessed of life, for there is not the
slightest movement in any part of the
big bulk, and the parts are not distin-
guishable in the dim light. Head and
all are alike; the ears lie fat; the eyes
are quite concealed in the wrinkled
flesh. but from somewhere within this
seemingly dead mass comes long hiss
ing sound like the exhaust from q
steam-pipe.
This sound continues for several
seconds and then stops, to be repeated
after an interval of silence. So long is
this interval that the regular repeti-
ton of the sound does not seem like
breathing"
The visitor was provided with a small
alarm clock lent him by one of the
groOms OF the menagerie, and was car
rving this at the moment when he
CHANGED to approach the slumbering
giant. So complete is the illusion of
the sleeping elephants not being alive
at all, but only mound of dead mat
ter. that Mr.. Moffett abstractedly set
the alarm clock down upon the fat
bone of the animals forehead.
No sooner have l done So" he says,
than I spring back startled, leaving
the clock ticking on the elephants
head. There has been no noise or
movement. no indication Of displeaS-
ure. DO effort to do me harm. But
suddenly in the middle of the huge
mud-colored mass there appeared a
round, red circle about two inches in
diameter. The elephant has simply
opened his eye. The eye does not roll,
or move, or wink. 1t merely remains
open on me for few seconds, a round,
staring circle, and then disappears as
suddenly as IL came"
That may do for an experience; but
there are few of MS who would not pre-
fer TO pass the night where there could
be no possibility of mistaking an ele-
phant for table.-Youths Companion.
