CAPTURING AN ELEPHANT.
something About This Dangerous and
Sometimes Cruel Sport.

scmething About This Dangerous and
Sometimes Cruel Sport.
When the two sons of the Prince Of
Wales were on visit to Ceylon, a grand
elephant hunt was projected to show
them how the animals were captured.
Here Is an extract from Joseph Moore's
description of the hunt:
After long maneuvering the trained
elephants managed to separate large
COW from the herd and so ranged them
selves about her that she was forced to
stand. This was the opportunity wanted,
and in flash an agile native slipped
under one of tho friendly brutes, rope
in hand.
Waiting until the restless prisoner
lifted her hind foot, he deftly placed
the moose about her leg and withdrew.
Another venture fettered the second
limb, the decoys meanwhile warding off
with their trunks several wrathful
strokes at the man. The ropes were now
firmly secured to stout tree and the
captive left entirely alone save her calf.
Then began titantic struggle for
liberty that no few words can justly
portray. Finding herself baffled in un-
tying the many knots or in uprooting
the tree, she writhed, screamed, tore at
the foliage, paved the earth, tossed
clouds of dust over her back, flung her
trunk about fiercely and planted her
head upon the ground for leverage to
rend asunder the bonds.
At length she fell in exhaustion, an
guish and despair and lay motionless
and resigned. The natives we'll knew
that these symptoms forbode the loss Of
their prize. She painted for an hour or
more, sighed deeply and died-of "bro-
ken heart.
A male somewhat above medium
size was next submitted to the exciting
ordeal with minor variations. While he
stood jammed between two of the tame
elephants, away from any tree, the
nooser induced him to raise his hind
foot by touching it gently, drew the
running knot about his leg and retreat
ed. In this case the rope was attached
to the girth Of one of the trained ami
mails, and the sagacious brute, knowing
exactly what was expected of him, be-
gan to drag the captive toward a tree
facing the spectators stands.
The wild one resisted violently, but
without avail, as the tame allies stead
ly pushed, butted and pulled him across
the inclosure. When the tying was COM
plete. his contortions to free himself
were astonishing, though i'll the end he
calmed down, hopeless and covered with
soil.

Two Giants,

Cajanus, a Swedish giant who was 9
feet high, was on exhibition in London
in 1742, and several old handbills still
exist which set forth the measurements
Of this freak of nature. Thirty years
later we have Charles Byrne, who was
8 feet inches in height in his stock
inged feet. He, however, died young,
at the age of az, from hard drinking.
Cotter O'Byrne. another Irish giant,
followed few years later. He was
born at Kinsale in 1851, and at the age
Of Is was 8 feet high. This by the time
he was 20 had increased to feet
inches, and then he changed his name
to O'Brian, in order to make people
think that he was descended from King
Brian Boroihme. and went on exhibition.
At that business he, Of course, soon
realized very comfortable fortune and
retired-dying at Clifton on Sept. 8,
1904. His will especially provided that
his body should be thrown into the sea
in order to prevent the surgeons from
cutting it up.-London Standard.

cattle.-Estimated Receipts 500.

Sioux City Stock Yards, Sioux City,
Ia, July 27.-1 p. ma good share of
the fresh and staple supply was clean
ed up again today before the noon
honr. Receipts ran nearly one half
short of yesterday two days supply
accordingly showing about 1000 short
age from same time a week ago. In
steer stuff the best traue was recorded
early little squirt developing on ur-
gent orders. The demand was toler
ably good from order buyers, regu-
lar dealers and outsiders who took
hold with fair freedom. Sellers were
mostly inclined to hold out for little
better figure on the small supply but
generally accepted steady prices, the
market being quoted unchanged from
yesterday on most sales. Towards
noon the market ruled little quiet
particularly on common to ordinary
cattle but while the trade was little
dormant there was no appreciable
change in the position of values. In
she stock the market was mostly fair
ly active. Outside buyers wanted this
class of stuff and the dealers had or
ders for the same grades resulting in
fair competition and {; free movement
of all but common grades. Values
showed little firm in spots but the
general market was steady. Thin
feeding cows and the heavier grades of
heifers also showed up in little better
call than they have for few days.
The inquiry for fat cows and heifers
was reported of fair proportions but
the supply was so limited as to pre-
clude a range of prices the market be-
ing nominally firm. Bulls had mod
crate call at yesterdays figures and
veals ruled in good demand and fully
steady with last week. Oxen and al!
miscellaneous grades came in nominal
supply and were quotably unchanged.
The following are prevailing quota
tions for the various grades offered:

yesterdays pest time. The run Tor
the local market was light and about
500 short of week ago though two
days supply is nearly the same as last
week. Excepting couple of loads the
quality was pretty good, though
weights were again heavy. Packers,
who think prices too high on the pro-
vision values herdly liked the idea Of
setting prices up but they seemed to
want the hogs. Fair inquiry on ship
ping account developed and after the
initial round trade was active and
brisk. Late arrivals also sold freely
as rule everything being cleaned up
in very good season. Most sales
showed full sc advance over yester-
days average market with sale or
two quoted strong better. No light
hogs or anything near were received
and the top, $3.45, was paid for best
medium and heavy. The bulk of the
medium and heavy sold at $3.4O, and
mixed packers down to $685. with
very rough heavy packing sows at
$3.50. The average of early sales was
$a.39 IA. Sales yesterday ranged at
$3.30@3.40, bulk $3.35, and average the
same. A week ago the range was $500
@3.37 1-2, bulk selling at $3.3O@3.35,
average $3.50 3-s. Other markets
closed favorably but provisions opened
weak and somewhat of decline devel-
oped later.

Medical Effects of Electricity.

In recent communication to the So
ciete Internationale des Electriciens
concerning the therapeutic and physio-
logical effects of high frequency currents
M. d'Arsonval showed the powerful in
ductlve effects which can be obtained
with these currents. A striking expert
ment consists of placing three lamps in
tension, allowing the current to pass
through the body. These currents cause
no sensations, and man placed in a
circuit does not feel that he is traversed
by the currents which brilliantly illu-
inmate the lamps. The principal results
OF this electrification are an augmenta-
tion of the oxidations in the organism
and an increase in the production Of
heat. A subject who, under ordinary
conditions, eliminates II to 21 liters of
carbonic acid per hour throws off 81
liters after having been submitted to
this action. High frequency currents do
not act solely upon the surface of the
body, but also profoundly upon the in
terror. All Of these results have been
obtained upon number of subjects by
NM. Apostoli and Charrin.
M. d'Arsonval cited, in closing, the
action exercised upon microbes and bac-
terra by these currents. The microbes
and bacilli are modified, and the tox-
ines are killed and transformed to vac
cine. MN. d d'Arsonval and Charrin hope
by this method to arrive at direct
treatment for the interior Of the bodies
of patients suffering with zymotio dis
ease, and experiments to this end have
been begun. World.

A London Incident,

Landlords in poor districts in London
are not allowed to take the tools Of a
defaulting tenant for rent. Yet wom-
an complained to the magistrate in
west London that her landlord had
3eized her sewing machine for rent, and
20 had deprived her of the means of
livelihood. The machine did not belong
to her. She had it on the hire system.
The magistrate told her that she could
not recover it, and she would not only
have to lose the machine, but also to
pay its value to the firm from which she
hired it.--Woman's Journal.

California.

Every Wednesday and Saturday at
n. m. a train leaves Chicago over
the famous Santa Fe route, which
makes the run to Southern California
in less than three days. This train is
composed of Pullman palace vestibuled
sleeping cars, buffet smoker and din
ing car of the most luxurious pattern
ever designed.
Another improvement in the Santa
Fe service is in the time of the weekly
tourist excursions, which now leave
Boston every Thursday at 1:30 a. m.,
and reach California the following
Tuesday. The cost of tickets is lower
and the time faster via these excur-
sions than via any other.
The Santa F'e route is the only line
running entirely over it's own tracks
from Chicago to California, and those
who intend making trip west will find
it to their advantage to communicate
with S. w. Manning. New England
Agent of this line. at So Washington
