Greeley came TO America in 1910, and the de-

Greeley was always abreast Of the move

1t is also considered significant fact
in connection with his career that slavery
did not becomeoan issue in American pol

Elephants are able to make their way
up and down mountains and through a
country of steep cliffs. where mules would
not dare to venture, and even where men
find passage difficult. Their tracks have
been found upon the very summit of noun
tains over seven thousand feet high. In
these journeys an elephant is often COM
pelied to descend hills and mountain sides
which almost precipitous. This is the
way in which ii is done: The elephants frst
maneuver is TO kneel down close TO the de-
clivity One foreleg is then cautiously
passed over the edge and short way down
the slope. and If he finds there is no good
spot for a firm foothold, he speedily forms
one by stamping into the soil IL II is moist
or kicking out footing If it is dry. When
he is sure of good foothold the other fore
leg is brought down in the same way. Then
he performs the same work over again with
his feet, bringing both foreiegs a little IN
advance of the first footho,d. This leaves
good places already made for the hind feet.
Now bracing himself by his huge. strong
forelegs, he draws his hind legs, first one
and then the other, carefully over the
edge where they occupy the nrst places
made by the forefeet This Is the way the
huge animal proceeds all the way down..

hind legs while he makes footholes with
