'yVhoever has looked inside an ele-
plants mouth has seen a strange
sight" said an elephant trainer. "Ele-
plants have no front teeth, and they
never eat flesh or any food that re-
quires tearing apart. Eight teeth are
all they have, two above and below on
each side, huge yellow molars as wide
as a mans hand, and a couple of
inches thick. Over these hay or fod-
der is shifted by the queerest. ugliest
tongue in the whole animal kingdom,
a tongue having no power of mo-"
ment except in the middle. where il
shifts back and forth, from side to
side, arching up against the root of
the big mouth like an immense wrink-
ling pink serpent. There is nothing
stranger than the working of an ele-
plants tongue, unless it be the work
ing of his breathing apparatus when
he sleeps. Elephants. like human be-
ings, have two sets of teeth; the milk
teeth, which are smaller than the per-
manent molars, fall out when the ami
mails are about 1 years old. These
baby teeth, which are nevertheless
enormous, are occasionally picked up
by circus men among the fodder and
preserved as curiosities. Such a thing
as an elephant having toOthache or a
decayed molar is absolutely unknown.

An English College Girl Saves Three

An English College Girl Saves Three
Persons from Drowning.
The plucky conduct of an English
girl a fortnight ago is of the sort that
makes the whole world kin. Miss Marie
Louise Evans belongs as much to
America as to England and as much
to South America, al to both, says the
New York Times.
1t was on Sunday and at Southamp-
ton that Miss Evans and a friend were
walking on Hythe pier after church.
AS they approached n of the land
ing places they noticed a boat holding
II man and two girls nearing the
stairs. They had been out for a row
and were evidently all inexperienced
water travellers for as the boat came
alongside the three stood upon n
side and Naturally the craft prompt
ly tipped over and in less time than
than the writing of it the three were
struggling in the water.
Instantly Miss Evans threw down
the prayer book she was carrying and,
pulling off one glove as she went, ran
down the stairs and leaning over pull
ed in one of the women who was ear
The other was clinging to the man
and struggling desperately, thus pre-
venting him, although a coed swim
mer, from r%escuing her, and both We're
being rapidly carried away on a
strong tide.
Seeing the crisis, Miss Evans hest
tated not a moment, but jumped in
and swan rapidly to the aid of the
pair. The girl was nearly insensible
when she reached her. and seizing her
with one hand she swan back to the
pier.
Not for an instant" writes a cor
respondent, describing the scene did
Miss Exams lose her head, and yet
there were some twenty men looking
Gil, WHO did absolutely nothing, with
n exception. An old gentleman
threw a rope and, after the rescue,
rushed off for brandy for the girl
who had been in the water longest.
Miss Evans went in with her clothes
Cn, removing only one glove, and she
laughingly told me h did exactly
what she would have Gone if she had
had years to contemplate the action
except that she should have worn a
bathing dress for her exploit"
The young heroine is only 20 and
is the daughter of an enthusiastic
yachtSman.an Irish gentleman of high
social position. She was graduated
from Oriel college, eBlfast. and is
evidently one of the new women the
world wants. for she is as feminine
as she is plucky and as modest as sht
is brave.

A new form of dandy" roll has been
invented for producing watermarks
in paper. The matchmaking of paper
is ordinarily accomplished by means
of a light revolving wire cylinder upon
the surface of which the lettering or
designs are fixed. This necessitates
the use of a separate dandy" roll for
every watermark. The new invention
obviateS this necessity, inaSmuch as
the matchmaking letters or designs
are made interchangeable, thus avoid
ing the removal of the roll itself. The
saving in the number of rolls will be
appreciated by the papermarkers. A
further advantage is that it will be
possible to execute small orders with
any special watermark at a small cost
simply the cost for the lettering OF

Names chief Fish and Game Com
missioner says that this season will
be the best for fishermen and hunters
in several years, and he expects the
aggregate of fish and game taken to
be notable. More people are fishing
this year than III any previous year,
many lakes have been opened after a
close time of several seasons, and good
catches seem to be the rule. The out
look is that big game will be very
plentiful in the fall, much more so
than fer several seasons past. Every
precaution IS being taken to KEEP up
the supply of fish, too. Especial at
tention will be given to the ~batcheries
this year. and about 100000 fish viii
be distributed among the lakes and
streams of the state next October

There is q certain well known bust

nothing disturbs his equanimity more
than the way in which wheelmen
often persist in turning to the left in
stead of to the right when meeting a
carriage. They have a peculiarly ex-

the curb when only a small space in
tervenes. Well, he was out driving
with his daughter the other evening,
and the bicyclers kept constantly dart

curb.
The hater of cyclists stood it rs pa

THE MILK TESTER
England Behind America In ApY..-
ing n Useful Invention

-
England Behind America in Apr..-
ing a Useful
The English agriculturist is slow
to take advantage of modern scientific
discoveries and inventions. Even the
cream separator, the principle and
Utility of which are universally under
stood, has not vet come into general
use in this country. AS for the milk
lester, its very name is to
thousands of English farmers. Yet
he value of this simple and ineXpen-
sive appliance to every n who owns
milch cattle is incalculabl bic, and its
employment is doing more to advance
the dairying industry in America and
elsewhere than perhaps even the sep
arator itself. Mere quantity of milk
1oes not give any clew as to the but
ter producing capability of a cow. But
by the tester the percentage of butter
fat in each cows milk is ascertained,
with hardly any labor and with abso-
lutte accuracy, before the milk Is pour
ed into the common receptacle for but
ter-making purposes.
The dairyman who has no tester
merely knows the quantity of butter
his cows produce in the aggregate; he
has no clew as to the value of each in
diyidual cow in the herd. With the
tester. on the other hand, he knows
exactly how much butter each individ-
ual COW produces from every gallon
of its milk. BY this means he is enab-
led to Gull his herd. replacing poor but
ter producers by good ones. The poor
cows costs just as much for food and
attention as the good one, but the
annual monetary return of the two
animals show a wide margin of diff
ference. Moreover, a good butter cow
produces good butter stock, and so,
from his knowledge acquired from
the use of the milk tester the breeder
of dairy stock is enabled to select the
proper calves to real and the proper
ones to reject.
In this way it becomes perfectly pos
sible, as has been actually done on
farms in Vermont and elsewhere in
the United States, to grade up a
dairy herd from an average produc-
ton per COW of $50 pounds of butter
per annum to an average of 300
pounds and over. With these figures
before him, even the layman will
grasp the value of such an invention
to each individual former who uses
it. But let us reflect what are the
money advantages of the system when
spread over the 1000 farms that on
tribute to such a creamery as that at
st. Adams, VT, what the gain to the
whole of that great dairying state;
what the enhanced profit to the vast
dairying industry of America. Were
the milk tester in universal use
throughout Great Britain and Ireland,
the capitalized value of dairy
herds might be increased in a few
| years time fully 25 per cent. If. then,
the British farmer does not eagerly
avail himself of such an invention,
can he fairly grumble at being ousted
from his w markets by his foreign
competitOr?-Westminster Review.
