seems to be we'll aware that Greece
would not have acted as dctiantly as
she has done without having at least
one powerful friend behind her. and IL
Is this feature of the complications
which Is having the most calming ef-
feet upon the Turks, who also see In
the abandonment of Crete To Greece "A
possible loophole Of escape from fur

the sultan Ii seems tn be the old story
of its being an III wind which blows
nobody good. and he Is credited with
hoping that his obedience Ia the wishes
Of the powerful friend or friends of
Greece In the matter of Crete NAV be
placed To his credit when the long
discussed and much postponed re
forms of the Turkish empire comes To
the front again.
The action of Greece may have been
nothing more than coincidence. IL Is
remarked. but IL Is out of such coinci-
dencts that oriental diplomacy IL

ed by many people as being an attempt
To provoke another outbreak upon the

among the audience. Suddenly the two

CLIMBING ELEPHANTS.
Able to Go Up and Down Mountain
When Mules Cannot.

Able to Go Up and Down Mountains
When Mules Cannot.
Elephants are able to make their way
up and down mountains and through
u 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
summmits of mountains over 1000 feet
high. In these journeys an elephant is
often compelled to descend hills and
mountain sides which are almost preci-
pitous. This is the way it is done:
The elephants first vancouver is to
kneel down close to the declivity. One
foreleg is then cautiously passed over
the edge and a short way down the
slope, and if he finds there is no good
spot for firm foothold, he speedily
forms one by stamping into the soil, If
it is moist, or kicking out foothold if
it is dry. When ne is sure of q good foot
hold the other foreleg is brought down
In the same way. Then he performs the
same work ever again with his feet,
bringing bott forelegs little in adj
vance for 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, care
fully over the edge, where they occupy
the first places made by the forefeet.
This is the way the huge animal pro-
ceeds all the way down, zigzag, kneel-
ing with his forefeet. Thus, the center
OF gravity is preserved, and the huge
beast is prevented from topping over
ON bis nose
