Photography is often called into court
as a witness whose testimony cannot be
impeached. 1t is detective of forged or
disguised handwriting, for no matter how
clever an imitation or alteration, the eye
of the camera will search out, and the
sensitive plate display the fraud. A very
important case, in which the entries in a
document were I'm question, led to the
building of what is probably the largest
camera i'm the world The bellows may be
extended 20 feet and is connected with a
dark room, which also serves as plate
holder The lens seems out of all proper

"Whoever has looked inside an ele-
phant's mouth has seen strange sight"
said an elephant trainer. Elephants have
no front teeth, and they never eat flesh or
any food that requires tearing apart
Eight teeth are all they have, two above
and below on each side huge yellow mo-
lars as wide as mans hand and couple
of inches thick.
cover these hay or fodder is shifted by
the queerest, ugliest tongue in the whole
animal kingdom, IA tongue that is literal
ly hung at both ends, having no power Of
movement except in the middle, where it
shifts back and forth, from side to side,
nrching up against the roof Of the big
mouth like an immense wrinkled pink
serpent. There is nothing stranger than
the working of an elephants tongue, un-
less it be the working of his breathing ap-
paratus when he sleeps.
Elephants, like human beings, have
two sets of teeth. The milk teeth, which
are smaller than the permanent molars,
fall out when the animals are about IA
years old. These baby teeth, which are
nevertheless enormous, are occasionally
picked up by circus men among the fodder
and preserved as curiosities."

IN LONDON LODGINGS.
khat 1t May Cost the American Visitor
In England.

In England, though in London at least
there are many boarding houses, it Is
more usual to live in lodging" is,
more usual to hire furnished room by it.
self than 10 include the taking of meals at
tho common table Frequently, however,
you arrange to have part of your meals in
the house, but served in your own room.
In that case you may buy your own ma
terials and pay for the cooking, or the land
lady will buy what you direct and cook 1t
for a slight charge. In a thoroughly con-
venient and respectable location in Lon
don 81. 50 a week would be a low price for
plainly furnished sitting room and bed
room and the cooking. You can do bet
ter than that in the suburbs, but distances
are long in London, and it is economy to
pay for convenient location If time is
any object
Prices are lower in the smaller English
places and the landladies more endurable.
Those of London are often so bothersome
that many Americans advise against TAX
ing lodgings there. Figures from the ex-
pense book of two American girls who
took lodgings wherever they had addresses
show that in Lincoln for apartments in o

the nights lodging and three meals. In
York they had lodging, supper and break
fast for 81 apiece. At Oxford the same
thing with fine CRATE fire cost 81 apiece
In Edinburgh they had lodging and break
f'.sU for a week for SO. so apiece.
In London and the large cities it is the
custom to go out for dinner. London res
taurants are moro costly than those of the
same grade in the States, and SO London
is not the cheapest place in which to dine
To live in this way abroad is much sim
pier than at home, for restaurant life is SO
much more common. 1t has been said
that a third of the people of Paris dine at
cafes. Women seldom have any serious
trouble in finding restaurant where they
can dine unmolested and great many of
the art students abroad live in this fash
