KINGS AMONG ELEPHANTS.
Two Fine Beasts That Had Slave Ele-
plants to Wait on Them.

plants to Wait on Them.
1t was our good fortune to be present at
an important meeting of the s'Kheddah"
at Chila,. on the banks of the Ganges
where the Nepalese government had sent
down its magnificent troop of tame
elephants for the chase of the wild ones
They were about $50 in number-magnifi-
cent, noble creatures.
The two finest among them were the
kings of the troop and were called
Bill Prasad and Narain Gal Prasad
Bill Prasad, which means, 'lord of
Lightning" was such a grand fellow |
The width of his brows was so great that
he could not put his head through our hall
door, and he knows to the smallest point
what a mighty creature he is.
He and his companion, Narain Cal Pra-
sad, which means "the peerless lord, y
are provided with two slave elephants, and
the only duty of the latter is to fetch and
provide fodder for Bill and Narain Gal
They do their duty right well. At early
dawn their mahouts, or drivers, drive
them into their jungles, and they work
like real slaves. They collect the sweet
sugar canes, tearing them up by their
roots, the young succulent grasses and ten
der leaves, and heap them up in masses
which weigh about 300 pounds each.
These loads are put on their backs, and
thrice day they gladly carry in their bur-
dens and lay them at the feet of their
lords.
We went out by moonlight to see the
latter fed, and any child would enjoy the
strange sight. First of all the mahout
makes a great big campfire of twigs and
hrushwood, and on it he places a large,
fiat iron dish, supported on two bricks.
Then he takes wheat flour and kneads it
with water into great round, fiat cakes
about an inch thick and twice the circum-
ference of soup plate. These cakes he
bakes on the iron dish.
We were anxious to taste them, and we
found them very good. We punched out
with our fingers all the nice brown spots
and ate them piping hot. And to make
up to Bill and Narain for taking part of
their supper, we had prepared treat of
which they are particularly fond. From
the bazaar we had brought great balls of
sugar cane juice boiled down and made
solid, called ''goor" in that country. Each
ball was twice the size of a tennis ball,
and in each wheatcake, or "chapati, we
rolled a lump of this molasses. You
should have seen how the big beasts en-.
joyed their feed-how their great trunks
rested down on our shoulders, always up
turned for the forthcoming delicacy =

The costliest crown is that worn by the
Russian car on ceremonial occasions. 1t
is surmounted by cross formed of five
magnificent diamonds resting upon an inn
inense uncut but polished ruby. The ruby
rests on II large diamonds, which in turn
rest on mat of pearls. The coronet of
the empress is said TO contain the most
beautiful collection Of diamonds ever
massed together.

Beneath the Eartb,s surface.

Lord Kelvin does not believe in the the
ory that the earth consists Of thin crust,
inclosing liquid, lavalike mass. If that
assumption has any ground, he cannot see
how it is that the crust has not yielded to
the tidal influence as readily as the sea,
and thus caused the globe to be pulled en-
tirely out7of shape. There is, he says, no
reason whatever for believing that there is
anything NOR. than very moderate
amount of Iays under the earth's surface

SAYS HE'LL KILL HIM,
Interesting Conversation Between
the Two FiStic Artists.

Carson, Nevada. March 1S.-Stake.
holder AL. Smith turned the purse
ana side bet over to Martin Julian this
morning in Dan Stuart's office. William
y. Brady, Whcelock and IL few reporters
were present when the transfer was
made. After the checks were handed over
to Julian, Brady renewed his offer made
lust evening to back COrbett against Fitz-
simmons Tor 1000. Julian's reply was
evasive. lie intimated that Fitzsimmons
would soon retire from the .istic arena,
and Judging by expressions uttered by
tue champion it is rot improbable that
this will be the programme AN along
fltHsimmons has asserted that this was
the last slime that he would undergo the
ordeal of training. FitZsimmons' 'rcply
to Corbett after they had shaken hands
IN Bob : corner yesterday Indicated that
the Australian was thinking of retiring.
''lon'v We licked me fair and square, =
said jim. Now, want you to 1--WE me
another chance
The champion replied ..coldly: II will
not fight you again
Then I'll punch you in TIE head the
first time meet you OH the street, - was
Corbett's retoit.
IF You do answered Ftzsimmons
with Al bitter smile and an even tone, II
vii! kill you.
Brady, however, still thinks that Cor
bett Is the best man of the two, ana he is
willing to back his Judgment.
1t leaked out this evening that Dan
Stuart had offered ii purse of %lO,0 for
Il meeting bstwceen Fitzsimmons and Joe
Goddard To take place in Carson three
months hence. Billy Madden, represent
ing Goddard, jumped at the proposition,
and Julian is thinking it over now 1t
will he left to the champion to decide
whether he will defend his title. Mrs
Fitzslmnions is violently opposed to the
idea, and it is possible that Bob will heed,
her advice.
