to be the toughest portion of the animal.
To prepare the Joint Il hole three feet
deep is dug in the earth, and the sides
OF 1t are baked hard by means of large
live Goals. Most of the Goals are then
taken out and the elephants foot is placed
IN the crude oven. The whole is then
filled with dirt. tightly packed. and a
blazing fire Is built on top, which is kept
replenished for three hours
The foot Is thus evenly baked, and when

STARTLING PHOTOGRAPHY.
What Young Woman Experienced
Alter sitting for Her Portrait.

After Sitting for Her Portrait.
An interesting contribution to the ntera-
ture of the new photography Is the account
of Mss Elizabeth l.. Banks experiences,
says the London Courier.
The negative" she says, was a remark
able success from a scientific standpoint
The X rays had not only perfectly photo
graphed the bones Of my neck, but they
had also taken the liberty to poke about
among my ribs. reproducing six OF them
on both sides, as we'll as my shoulder blade
and collar bone. This was accounted for
by the fact that the Photographic plate
was much larger than my neck, and al
though the rays of light had been directed
only toward the neck bones they mad pene-
trated far below and through my clothing.
Had any of the ribs or other bones been
broken out Of place there would have
been no difficulty In discovering this by
means of the photograph. The chain which
/ wore showed very prominently and even
the links of that part worn in front were
clearly discernible through the shadow of
the flesh and muscles of the neck. The
length OF time required for preparing this
photograph Is explained in the very easily
understood principle that the thicker the
object to be photographed the longer 1t
takes the rays of Invisible light TO pene-
trats 1t. 1t also fo'lows. as a matter of
course. that the length of time required for
photOgraphing depends very much upon the

bones belong; so i. with no weight or
