water. Soon after, as everybody knows, he actually marched train of thirty-seven elephants across the Alps into Italy. The worst difficulty expe- rienced-though it was terrible or deal all the way-was in the final de- scent through steep fields of slippery slush, where, as an English writer quaintly puts it, the wretched brutes had much ado not to topple on their noses in the slobby snow-broth." They reached the lowlands in pitiable state; yet it was largely by their aid that Hannibal won his decisive victory at Trebia. When winter came, how ever, they all died of cold except one; and it was this lone monster that bore the sick and blinded but undaunted Carthagenian on his back in the dread full march through the marshes which followed

smell of these monsters put them in sort of nightmare terror. They re- coiled and could not be controlled; so the plucl1y riders were forced to dis mount and fight on foot, at fatal dis advantage. An epoch-making rout was the result.
 Cattle would seem to be of little use in war except for the baggage train and the larder; yet they have some times been utilized in very unexpected ways. Perhaps the most remarkable instance was the stratagem of Hanni- bal. His army had been cooped up among the mountains, and the Romans held the only pass by which he could hope to escape. But Hannibal was never at loss. Gathering together the great herds of cattle which he had recently captured, he fastened lighted torches to their horns and during the night drove them upon the lodges over hanging the pass. At first they moved in quite orderly fashion; and the Ro- man guard, hearing the measured tramp and seeing a multitude of lights, concluded that the Carthaginians were trying to force their way over the hills, and rushed to meet them. As they approached, however, they were greeted by mad bellowings in stead of human voices, and the torches began to toss about in the widest eonfusien; for, as the blazing fagots burned Low, they heated the horns of the cattle, and the pain caused the poor beasts fairly to run amuck. So the soldiers were quickly undeceived-but meanwhile Hannibal had seized the pass.
 i&en bees have been called in as al- lies, and no person of experience will question their fine fighting qualities. We are told that the most signal vic- tory gained by their aid was at the siege of Chester, England. The Danes were endeayoring to run tunnel un- der the walls. The defenders succeed ed in breaking a hole through the roof of the mine, and after vainly throwing down stones and pouring in big caidrosss Of hot liquor, they final
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-07-10

Nowadays, when men engage in war, and wish to make improvements in their mode of fighting, they begin to cast about for some new sort of ma chine; but when the world was young CT and they didn't know much about mechanics, the favorite scheme was to hunt Up some new kind of animal and train it to help them fight. Even now we haven't given up the plan aftogeth- CT, but war dogs and horses and
 pigeons are not half so important us guns and railroads and dtelegraph lines. In the beginning it was all very differ ent. Men began to tame animals be- fore they had invented much of any thing; and the story of the experi- ments they tried with various kinds of beasts is extremely interesting. Tn some cases these ventures were re- markedly successful, but not always.
 Let us start, then, with the biggest beast of all--the elephant. He is really a wonderful fighting animal; he al- most seems to have been built for that
