The young man has affixed a minia-

is Enclosed in square box and the ap-
paratus only weighs 2H pounds. In
the center of the box is the tinfoil cell
upon which he has recorded the words
stop thief!" many times. A wire
connects with the rear wheel of the
bicycle, and with that the apparatus
is complete.
When the young man enters a build
ing he presses a button and his thief
catcher is set. When the thief Jumps
into the saddle and starts to ride away
he is stopped by a voice which shouts
apparently behind him: "Stop thief!

louder grows the pursuing voice, I'M

off the wheel and leaves it to its fate.

AN ELEPHANTS THOUGHTS.
How a Eindoo Cam Tell when the
Animal Intends to De-
stroy Him.

Few more impressive condolences
can be impaired than one in which a
Hindoo describes how he knows his ele-
plant intends to destroy him. 1t is
all so seemingly trivial, and yet in
reality of such deadly significance.
His story is so full of details that prove
the mans profound understanding of
what he is talking about that one re-
mains equally amazed at. the brute's
power to dissimulate and its intended
victims insight into this would-be
murderer's character. And yet, from
the psychological standpoint an ele-
plant never gives any other such indi-
cation of mental power as is exhibited
in its revenge. That patient, watchful,
implacab bic hatred, often provoked
simply because a man is in attendance
upon another animal (for it is the rule
with tuskers to detest their next
neighbors) speaks more conclusively
of a high intellectual guide than all
stories, true or false, that have been
told of their ability. Such concentra-
ton and fxedness of purpose, such
careful. unrelaxed vigilance, such per-
feet and consistent pretense, and,
when the time comes, such desperate,
unhesitating energy as homicidal an
finals exhibit ARE impossible without
very considerable, although in this
instance very. irregular. development,
says Outing.
No one can deny that If this creature
is great at all its greatness shows it
self in its crimes. These have caused
it to be worshiped in the east, where
men venerate nothing but merciless,
irresponsible force, and where an eX-
hibition of those qualities and traits
described fully accounts for the
formula: my lord. the elephant

PRINCE A1BERr OF BELGIUM.
Arrives in America-Not Looking for nm
Heiress-Is Already Engaged.


New York, March s.-Among the
saloon passengers on the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse, which arrived here
to-day from Bremen and Southampton,
were Prince Albert of Belgium and
suite. On the arrival of the Kaiser
Wilhelm at quarantine the revenue
cutter Hudson steamed alongside. On
board the cutter were General Merritt
and staff, the Belgian minister at
Washington and the Belgian CONSUL at
New York, who boarded the steamer
and paid their respects to Prince AL
bert. General Merritt and staff after
brief stay on board returned to- the
revenue cutter and proceeded to the
city. Prince Albert stood on the bridge
and bowed and waved his handkerchief
in return to the cheers of those on the
dock. He came down the gang plank
in company with Count de LIGHTER
belde, the Belgian minister in Wash
ington, and was driven to the Waldorf
Astoria hotel. The Belgian minister
said the prince had not come here for
an American heiress, as he was already
engaged to his cousin, Princess Glenn
entine. He also said that, while the
plans were not completed, the prince
would probably go to Newport and
then to Washington.

Havana, March S.-A Spanish report
says that the Lealtad battalion Of the

ing several of the enemy. The Spanish
report adds that the insurgents while
retreating met a column of Spanish
troops commanded by General Cebal-
los who inflicted further loss upon
them. Another announcement from
the palace says that General Herman
dez De Valasco has destroyed the camp
of the insurgent leader Pine Guerra at
the Manajua farm, province Of Pinar
del Rio, eventually dispensing the in
surgents, who are said to have left
seven men killed and to have retired
with additional men killed or wounded

gagement lost two men killed and had
major, a captain and eight soldiers
wounded.
