When the contract with the old monopoly was revoked and a franchise granted to Messrs. Haas and London, the people thought they saw release from the clutches of the present octopus, which goos on vio- lating the city ordinances by charging $1.65 per thousand cubic feet for gas Messrs. Haas and London were going to have a bi- product plant in connection with the Sloss furnaces which could easily supply the city with source of illumination at moderate away, and nothing was done.

 As viewed by the outsider it seems rath- CT peculiar that no move has been taken against the old gas company. Its con- tract was revoked and still it goes on de- flying the law-making body of the city
 New Move Contemplated.
 It is said among some of the aldermen that they were only waiting to see if Messrs. Haas and London meant to carry out the terms of the contract. If they did not some new and decisive move would be taken.
 The people are waiting the city coun- cil to give them dollar gas.

Cost Of Elephants.

Il il somewhat interesting TO compare
Tho weights carried by elephants in tho
tin producing districts OF the Malay
peninsula with those used in the long
journeys and mountainous country Of
the Lao states. In the peninsula the
distances are seldom more than at most
three or four days march, and the ele-
phans is expected to carry as much a.
900 or l. 900 pounds. besides his mahout
and howdah. Ths latter Is often . nero
brace Of panniers slung together 30 AZ
to rest one ON each side Of the backbone
and covered sometimes with o Light
barrel roof Of bark. A good tusker car
rying 9H hundredweight will fetch
about e56, and u female which can bear
eight hundredweight Is worth about
R45.
In the Lao skates where journeys Of
ten days or three weeks are frequent,
the average weight hardly exceeds 800
pounds, or one-third of what is usual in
the peninsula. The prices in various
parts of the country vary considerably.
When we were on the Me Having and
in Muang Nan in 1893, a good tusker
could be had for $50 and a female for
e24. At ChiGng Mai, where good teak
hauling elephants are in great demand,
a tusker may fetch ESQ and a female
anything from $50 to Goo, according
to her strength and ability. -Geograph-
