Tho opening article Of McClure's
Magazine for October describes tho
rounding up Of Il great wild elephant
hord III Siam, and tho choosing out
and bringing under control of such
momhcrs Of tho herd as ao required
for tho royal elephant stables. 1t is
spectacle tho likc Of which is to bo
soon nowhere clso IN tho world, and
1t attracts great crowds of people
from all parts Of tho kingdom. The
article is worry interestingly illus.
tratod from photographs taken by
tho author
Another notable article in this
number is Mr.. Bernard =. Grcnrclrs
account Of how he and his associate,
MIR. a. S. Hunt, found tho lately re-.
covered manuscript of tho "Sayinr,'
Of Christ. Since this is Older bv at
least ono hundred and fifty years
than any other cxtnnt record of the
life or words of Christ, everything
relating to it is Of interest: but even
apart from that Mr.. Grenfell's article
Is interesting, for it tells, from the
knowledge Of an actual explorer.
how points for Egyptian archaeoloy
lcal excavations are chosen, and lust
how tho excavations are conducted
and tho recovered papyri are pre-,
served and studied, illustrations
from photographs by the author add
much to tho interest Of the article.
Moro than notable, in this num-
Dor, is II series Of 1.-Two masks of Jef
forson, John Adams, Lafayette,
Charles Carroll, and Madison, never
boforo published, and until now
scarcely known to exist. In reality
ami vividness they arc truly WONDER
full; to look upon them is as if one
sat faco to face with tho living,
speaking man. They were taken
about 1925 by tho sculptor j. II. l..
Browere, who had his own secret
process. The story Of tho circum-
STANCES under which they were
tnkon, and of tho hiding of thcm
away by tho sculptor and their
closo concoalmcnt ever since, is a
most curious and romantic ono; and
it is very well told by Mr.. Charles
Henry Hart, in connection with the
reproductions.
Other features of tho number are
description of tho process, moral
rather than physical, by which, in
tho lato war, bodies Of raw troops
woro made into actual soldiers: n

Bending Cardboard.

An English inventor-nam or loca-
ton we do not find given-is said to
have contrived tool capable Of being
attached to any machine or apparatus
having a transversing slide and a fixed
table that will bend cardboard without
the need of score cut, thus preserving
the full strength of the material at the
bend. The tool in question is formed Of
metal or wood and is in two parts, one
having recess on one edge and the
other a straight edge, having the upper
edge rounded off to fit into the recess
on the edge of the first part, allowing
space between equal to the thickness Of
the substance to be bent-the length Of
the straight edge to be made to the
longest bend required. In using the
tool, the second mentioned part is made
a fixture to the table machine frame or
apparatus and the first part is attached
to the traversing portion. By placing
the cardboard to be bent on the straight
edge, then sliding the second part over
and along the board under certain
amount Of pressure, a bend in the card
will be produced. --N New ork Sun.

Broke the Spell.

Up to the time of. Cleveland 8 election
it was a popular superstition with poll
ticians that no candidate whose name
began with the letter G could be elected
to the presidency. The idea arose from
the fact that no man whose surname
presented this popularity, no matter
how strong he was with the people, had
ever been successful at the polls. There
were two Clintons, George and Dewitt,
William H. Crawford, Henry Clay,
Lewis Cass and number of others,
who, though their prospects seemed
bright indeed, met with defeat when
it came to the test. Several of the C's,
George Clinton and Henry Clay, for in
stance. were strong candidates several
times, but never could make the
rifle. = Pittsburg Dispatch.

WORTH SAVING.

The people Of Belgium evidently be-
ieve in training their children in. hab-
its of economy. Possibly no better
method of convincing the young folks
Of the wisdom of looking after small
things could have been found than that
resorted to in the public schools of
Brussels The Outlook gives the result
Of the experiment:
Some time ago the children were re-
quested by their teachers to gather up
all the waste and apparently useless ar
ticles that they could find on their way
to and from school and to deliver them
to their respective teachers. ~>
For eight months the work of collec-
tion went on. Such objects as tin foil,
tin cans, paint tubes, bottle capsules
and refuse metal were especially looked
after. The result was astonishing.
Nineteen hundred and twenty-five
pounds of tin foil rewarded the chill
dren's efforts, together with 1900
pounds Of metal scraps, 4, 400 pounds of
bottle capsules and old paint tubes that
in the aggregate weighed 220 pounds.
But it was when the articles were
disposed Of and the money applied to
useful objects that the full force Of this
economy was manifest. The proceeds
completely clothed 500 poor children
and sent 80 invalid children to re-
cuperation colonies, and there was a
goodly balance left to be distributed
among the sick poor of the city.

ENGLISH ROYALTY.
What 1t Is Said to Cost the British Tax
payer Yearly.

What 1t Is Said to Cost the British Tax
payer Yearly.
The chancellor of the ekchequer went
out Of his way recently, says Labou-
ohere, in London Truth, to explain how
little the monarchy costs England. The
crown lands, he said, belong to the SOW
ereign and produce 50, 06o,000 per an
mum. The queen receives instead of
this revenue 81, 925, 1000 and the rest of
the royal family $1,060,000. Therefore
the total cost Of monarchy to the tax
payer is 1926, 600. The entire calcula-
ton proceeds on the erroneous assump-
tion that the crown lands are the pri-
vate property of the sovereign. This
they are not. They originally formed a
portion of the general revenue Of the
country, out of which came the main
tenance of the sovereign. ,-&S
That abject hunky Lord Butte, wish
ing to curry favor with George III, in
serted in the civil list act which was
passed on that monarch g accession a
remuneration by him of the crown lands,
and this remuneration by sovereign of
WuaI uo uAu uOV pOsSeSS IS Cno OASIS Oh
the theory of these crown lands being
the private property of the occupant Of
the throne.
According, therefore, to Sir Michael
Hicks each's own figures, monarchy
costs England $2,985,O0O The real
amount is, however, much higher, for
there are numberless expenses incidental
to the institution which he does not in
clude. The hard fact remains that in
France the president receives 5000, 900
per annum and fulfills with decent
splendor. all the duties Of the head of
the state, while with England the mon
archy costs nearer :e1,000,OOO than
1000, 900 francs. A defense, therefore,
Of monarchy on the ground of economy
