The elephants first vancouver IL to
kneel down close to tho declivity. One
foreleg is then cautiously passed over
tho edge and short why down the
slope, and if he finds there il no good
spot for a firm foothold, he speedily
forms one by stamping into the soil, IL
it is moist, or kicking out foothold if
tits dry. When lis sure of good foot
hold tho other foreleg is brought down
in the same way. Then he performs the
same work over again with his feet,
bringing both forelegs little in ad-

good places already made for the hind
feet. Now. bracing himself up by his
huge. strong forelegs, he draws his hind
legs. first enc and then the other, care

the first places made by the forefeet.
This is the way the huge animal pro-

THE BUTTERFLY.
How the Gorgeous Beauty Bursts From

caterpillar travelling across the piazza
floor, evidently in search Of his final
shelter. We secured him temporarily
under a tumbler but there. TO our sur

web and hang himself head downward
from the bottom Of the covering glass
In such wise that in the course Of two
days we saw the whole process Of change,
even to the splitting Of the caterpillar
skin and the final wriggle from it that
changed him into the most exquisite
transparent, nile green chrysalis, but
toned with gold Toward the end Of two
weeks this began TO grow opaque, and
gradually we saw from under it the
thorax, antennR, head, wings and alb
dominal rings in perfect coloring Of
