MIrrors Tint Are Trnnsparcnt.

A great many devices are known for
the purpose of enabling people in a
house to see what is going on in the
street without opening their windows.
A new invention of this nature is re-
ported from Ilalberstadt, Germany, be-
ing plan for SO silvcring glass that it
reflects the image when looked at from
one side, but when looked at from the
other is Us transparent as ordinary
window glass. If this is glazed in
dwelling-room window anyone inside
can see all the life of the street, while
any passer-by looking in at the win
dow viii see but mirror and nothing
more. This avoids, therefore, the
annoyance sometimes encountered in
glazing either clear window glass or
ground glass, in combining the special
advantages Of both. One object would
be that many people might stop to ad-
lust their personal appearance at such
mirrors. An innovation on reverse
lines is that recently made in one of the
Vanderbilt ball rooms. where the win
dows by day become large mirrors by
night through mechanical arrange
ments, AMI thus add simply but Won
derfullv to the brilliance of the SEEM.

Tho slaughter of Eiephant..

In Berlin number of African travel
ers, colonial politicians and scientific
men have formed a committee for the
purpose of tanning and preserving the
African elephant" 1t is computed, &C
cording to statistical data of the ex-
ports of ivory, that no fewer than from
fifty to sixty thousand elephants in
Africa are killed every year. The com
mittee say, that being SO, the time is
not far distant when the last elephant
in Africa will, says the London
Daily News, have disappeared. With
such prospect in view, the committee
have decided to put stop to this mis-
chievous slaughter. By tanning and
maintaining the last representatives OF
a fast-dying-out animal world the COM
mittee hope to preserve unimpaired the
enormous power the elephant is known
to possess, SO that he may be of still
further use to mankind. The German
Colonial company have already devoted
large sum of money to this purpose,
and now the colonial department of the
foreign Office have augmented this sum
by granting liberal allowance.
< A Russian journal, with name that
no one with only one tongue in his
head would attempt to pronounce,
gives a story from Khorosan that we
have some difficulty in accepting. A
certain carter relates that on leaving
the town of Kutsehan on January II he
heard loud subterranean noises. He
looked back and saw the air filled with
clouds of smoke and dust and saws
that when they cleared away there
was no town left. The consular agent
in Kutschan has written to friend in
Ashahabad that on the same date he
felt strong shock of earthquake, ran
out into the street and beheld the
whole place disappear in an immense
chasm In the earth. Why he did not
disappear, too, we do not understand.
and we wonder whether the .'vodl1ip in
that part of the world is as strong al
the earthquakes.
