some point in British Columbia to
resting point in the middle of the sea,
from which two branches would di-
verge. one to Australasia and the other
to the Chinese or japanese coast, is in
teresting. Colonial conferences of the
British dependencies have been held
from time to time, all urging the Brit
ish Government to conduct the survey
of a route for the purpose of laying
and maintaining Il submarine cable be-
tween British Columbia and Austral-
asia. In order to accomplish this. such
cable must land on one of the ua-
waiian Islands or on Tanning Island
for its midway station in the great
span from the Occidcnt TO the Orient.
The Fannings Island route develops
the gravcst objections and involves an
almost impossible enterprise. It is
| 1000 mil south of Hawaii, and the
distance from British Columbia re-
quires a cablp length of at least 5000
miles. Thus far no continuous, un-
broken line Ci Submarine cable longer
than 200 mil, a has been laid. and cN-
perts in the business declare that to

no resting place is Impossible. The

a serious mechanical obstacle to so
long span. the great loss of electric
current making necessary much
heavier cable through the entire
length, at an estimated cost of $4,000
per nautical mile. The expense for
repairs would be correspondingly
great, with delay in transmission OF
messages, as there is no harbor for q
repair ship, and the nearest ship fol
this purpose would have to be located
at Vancouver. Another objection is
that Fannings Island is not a port OF
call and has no commerce or supplies
The fact that the Chief of the Englst
photographic Office made a strong re
port against this route. clearly shows
that Great Britain regards Tanning Is
land as a last resort, in case further
efforts to secure foothold on Hawai-
are unsuccessful.

The gunners of the French navy are
not to be congratulated on their marks
manship if the results of the target
practice of three of the larger war yes
sells at Toulon are to be taken as cri.
terion. The guns of the three vessels
blazed away at the old wooden dis
patch boat Petrol, utilized as the tar
get, which was set about 1000 yards
1.-TWO miles, away, until 800 charges
were expended, enough to have sunk a
whole squadron of such vessels. The
Petrol is still afoat. This is some
thing like the target practice of the
flagship Pensacola, the frigate Iroquois
and the training ship jamestown in San
Francisco bay at the centennial cele-
bration of 1876, when at range of one
mile they fired for over an hour at an
old scow anchored in the stream off the
Presidio, which was rigged as a monitor
and filled with combustibles, without
hitting it once. 1t was planned to
drop shell into it that would fire it
and blow it up, but the defective gun
merry of the fleet and of Fort Point,
which joined in the bombardment,
made it necessary to send out boat to
it and apply the torch to it by hand.

workmanship was that the ammuni-
tion used was old and worthless, being

Elephants.


Some elephants are said to be good
climbers. They 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 mountains over seven thou
sand feet high. In these journeys an
elephant is often compelled to descend
hills and mountain sides which are al
most precipitous. This is the way in
which it is done. The elephants first
manoeuvre is to kneel down close to
the dechvity. One foreleg is then eau
tiously passed over the edge and a
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 if it is moist, or
kicking out footing if it is dry. If
the elephant is now sure of a good foot
hold, the 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
advance of the first foothold. This
leaves good places already made for the
hind feet. Now, bracing himself up by
his huge, strong forelegs, he draws his
hind legs, first one and then the other,
carefully over the edge, where they oc-
cupy the first places made by the fore
feet. This is the way the huge animal
proceeds all the way down, zigzag,
kneeling every time with the two hind
legs while he makes fOOtholes with his
forefeet. Thus the center of gravity
is preserved, and the huge beast pre-
vented from topping over on his nose.

Rarity of Congenital Teeth.

1
/ The fact that congenital teeth are so
rarely met with is one of the most inter-
esting in physiology. 1t is recorded that
out of 17,57S newborn infants at the
Paris Maternity, in ten consecutive
years, only three had teeth, or not much
more than one in 5000. Out of 500
cases collected by Magitat, in which
the time of eruption of the first tooth
was noted, in only one were there teeth
at birth. After a close study of cases
of this sort by DR.. Ballantyne of Edin-
burgh, the presence of such teeth, he
remarks, is likely to have an ill effect
upon lactation, partly on account of the
imperfect closure of the infants mouth,
and partly by the wounding of the
mothers nipple; they have probably
little or no prognostic significance as
regards the bodily or mental vigor of
the infant carrying them, and, as usu-
ally met with, are lower incisors,
though sometimes upper incisors are
seen, but very rarely molars of either
the upper or lower jaw. Such teeth are
caused by the premature occurrence of
the processes which normally lead to
the cutting of milk teeth; and, as they
are usually incomplete and ill develop
ed, and likely to be more of an incon-
venience than advantage to the infant,
they are best removed soon after birth.
