WHERE ELEPHANTS ARE PLENTY
An African Sportsman Says the Big
Game Is Far from Extinct.

1t has been common cry of late
years that, with the amount of shoot
ing that goes on nowadays in Africa.
the game animals must. within measur-
able distance of time, become extinct.
Some ingenious statisticians have
harmlessly employed their spare time
in calculating how many wears of eX-
istence are left to the African elephant
as a species, and prophesy its extinc-
ton within the present generation.
NiNfnn the last week | have had two
letters from friends who are shooting
IN the interior, one bearing date in No
vember, from the northeast, the other
dated January, from the southeast. I
am not going to give any better clew
to the locality of my CORRESPONDENTS
shooting grounds, for reasons sports
men will appreciate. The former has
for weeks seen elephants in family par
ties every day and all day; they don't
seem to know what a rifle is, and, if
l wanted, | might kill a score a dav or
more" My southeastern correspond
ent combines sport with trade in ivory.
and writes me that, on his present trip,
he has killed 10 elephants, besides two
lions and heavy bag of antelopes and
other game. He says in the country

also huffaloes, and, in fact, all the ami
mails | have named" some II species.
In the locality he refers to elephant
shooting has to be done on foot, and it
is such hard work under the local con-
ditions that the animals are tolerably
safe. I do not wish to promulgate the
idea that protective measures are not
necessary-thcy are urgently needed in
many parts of Africa; but it is satisfac-
tory to hear from reliable sources that
there are districts where the elephant
is plentiful and likely to continue So

A HORSELESS-CARRIAGE FACE.
Awful VIsnGe That VIII Surpass the
Bicycle Face.

The 'bicycle face" will now yield the
palm to that awful yisage known as the
Notwithstanding face" That eX-
preston known as the ''bicycle face" is
caused by anxiety, apprehension and
actual dread lest the owner run over
This cast of countenance, brought about
anxiety lest some bad accident occur,
apprehension that the rider may be the
victim, and positive, downright dread
that some one else may be injured.
These varying and powerful emotions.
constantly playing upon a sympa-
thetic soul, are reflected through ocular
and nervous lines in the countenance
technically known as "bicycle face"
This cast of COuntenance. brought about
by the most humane emotions of SIM
pathetic soul and reflected through the
mirror of eyes and expression, is the OPP
posite of that glare soon to become
known as the Notwithstanding face"
When the modern moIoch is in full Oper-
alton the face of the rider undergoes an
awful change. The lines of the mouth
become set, rigid, immovable and
stonily grim-just the opposite of the
sympathetic bicycle face, in that it re-
fleets a determination that if anybody
is killed it won't be the owner of the
Notwithstanding face" There is
also look of fear-not fear that he
may run down somebody, but fear that
he won't. The eyes have a fixed and
steely glare, while over the whole sat
urnine face is the impress of horror,
a faint but ever-present shadow that
shows the modern moloch is impelled
to pursue his work of devastation by
some potent hellish power. Once seated
on this powerful engine of destruction,
with firm grip on the lever, even the
fairest cOuntenance takes on some at
tributes of this Notwithstanding
face. Pitts DISPATCH,

ORIENTAL SHIRT WAIST.
a New Creation for the Summer Girl
of This Season

Another important and wholly new
creation is the oriental short waist.
Shirt waists in plain colors, in stripes,
checks or brocades will not be the ul-
questionable style for summer wear.
The novelty in separate waists this
season will be combination of oriental
colors with modern fabrics. The col
ors in these new gauzes are in exact re-
production of the vegetable dyes of
eastern lands, and the combination of
hues is copied from the priceless shawls
of cashmere, from the ''chuddahs" worn
by HindOostance women, from Madras
curtains and Phulkarie embroderies
Terra-cOtta and dull blue are COM
bined, reddish brown and orange, vel
low, blue, and red, pale green and gold,
and sometimes every hue known to ORR
entail looms are woven in one vivid color
scheme.
In spite of the gorgeous effect of the
material the style of making is in the
fashion of the simplest shirt waist. A
tucked square-cut yoke, with full
blouse effect over the bust. fastened
with studs in a narrow plait, is a pop
ular design. The sleeves are the old
style shirt sleeves.
The fashionable athletic girl may have
any number of sporting gowns, for
golf. for the wheel, for hunting and
yachting, but her wardrobe is never
complete without one or many dainty
tea gowns, or "lounging" gowns, as the
muscular maid would say.
The very newest design in these
"lounging robes" is of liberty silk, or,
better and much cheaper, China silk,
which can be bought 80 inches wide for
40 cents yard. These most esthetic
gowns, which are of pure white, are cut
with Vatican plat in the back and full
in the front. The neck is slightly low
and square.
Long, pulled sleeves come well over
the hand and are edged with Lace. The
large shoulder puff is also deliberately
g4rnished with lace extending from the
lace insertion which trims the neck
A white satin ribbon is fastened trim
ly about the waist and forms a trim
ming at either side of the square-cut
neck. Such a tea gown can cost all
the way from eight dollars to $50, ac-
cording to the material and value Of
lace Observation-Disclosures Times.

THE INVENTORS GENIUS.
in Military and Com
merciaI Warfare.


War is always a horrible possibility
In the present condition of European
politics, but when Invested of its per-
s0nal and political details it cannot but
mssess a peculiar fascination for the
Engineer, especially since engineering
fas so largely entered into all the
ifnetehods of modern warfare. Since the
iastgreat war the machinery of warfare
has been almost entirely recreated, and,
indeed, many devices have been invent
cd, CONSTRUCTED and become obsolete,
without ever having had a chance to
show what they were worth in actual
combat. Should the great powers be-
come involved in warfare, however,
there is no doubt that numerous me-
chanical devices, till the present kept
secret, will appear in various lines of
lighting machinery, and it is not i'm
: S5tIssible that, as in the days of the Mon
itor, ornaments and equipments upon
which millions have been spent will
find themselves RELOCATED to the curios-
ity shop over night.
The restless ingenuity of the invent
OF is almost as much of bane to the
leaders of commercial warfare as to
the lords of miltarism. 1t has been
gafS, and doubtless with truth, that the
managers of the great commercial com
binations consider the possibilities of
superseding inventions as the greatest
element of risk in their calculations.
From this point of attack industrial
combinations are almost helpless, for no
degree of business skill can avail when
whole plants are rendered obsolete bv
the advent of some new device or
process which may supplant the entire
method of manufacture, if not the prod
uct itself. 1t is this equalizing element
which may, in obedience to the law of
supply and demand, check to a great
extent the growth of commercial com
binations, intended to control produc-
ton, prices and business. The very sue
cess of business combination sets IN
ventors to work devising methods.
processes and machines to accomplish
similar results by other means, and no
man knows what day may bring forth
when the tide Of invention is turned in
any given direction. The natural laws
of the physical forces must control in
the end, and it is to those laws that the
development CT the commercial side as
well as the technical portion of human
industry, must look for ultimate guild
ance.-CaSsier's Magazine.
