Whoever has looked inside an ele-
plants mouth has seen a strange
sight. Elephants have no front teeth,
and they never eat meat or any food
that requires tearing apart. Eight
teeth are all they have, two above and
two below on each side, huge yellow
molars as wide as a mans hand, and
about two inches thick. Over these
hay or fodder is sifted by the queerest,
ugliest tongue that is literally hung
at both ends, having no power or
movement except in the middle, where
it shifts back and forth from side to
side, arching 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 workings of his breath
ing apparatus when he sleeps. Ele-
plants, like human beings, have two
sets of teeth-the milk teeth, which
are smaller than the permanent mo-
lars, fall out when the animals are
about fourteen years old. These baby
teeth, which are nevertheless enorm-
GUS, are occasionally picked up icy cir
Gus men among the fodder and pre-
served as curiosities.

told of the great Dr.. Jowett, who was
a strict disciplinarian on the subject
of chapel attendance, that one morning
he found himself late for the service.
Two undergraduates in similar plight
were at the chapel door. Being in such
good company, they imagined that
nothing more would be heard of their
escapade. But they did not know the
master. Jowett sent for them, and, as
they entered the room, rendered their
prepared excuses impossible by say

While Siam is an independent native
state governed by it's own king, it's
people have accepted enough European
ideas to present a strange mixture of
barbarism and civilization. In Bang
kok, the capital, one sees Buddhist
temples, two horse 'busses, Chinese
lanterns and electric lights, buffalo
carts and bicycles, Chinese coolies rid
ing in electric cars, and such incon-
gruities.
The official garment of the Buddhist
priests is yellow, and as there are TO-
900 of these priests in Bangkok, and
over 100 900 in Siam, yellow is a DOM
inant color in the kingdom. AS every
man is bound to be a priest for at least
three months in some period of his life,
the yellow robe is one of the most
common sights.
The people of Siam are much addict
ed to living either on households or in
houses built on piles to keep them
above the level of the annual inunda-
lions in the wet seasons. The children
early learn to swim, and il they fall
into the water it does not matter. Like
their elders, they are happy, lazy folks,
but very good natured. Siamese chill
dren. especially the little girls, are ex-
ceedingly pretty. rivaling, il not ex-
ceeding, all the other beauties Of the
east, Japan included. They are very
merry, continuously contented, easily
pleased, and most unselish in their
dealings with one another. Their al
most absolute lack of selfshness is one
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1899-02-04

Of the most pleasing features in their
very lovable character.
The ordinary dwelling house in Siam
consists Of three rooms-the kitchen,
the drawing room and the bedroom.
The rooms are but poorly furnished.
There is no chimney to the kitchen,
and, the walls being but framework
screens, the smoke permeates and dirt
accumulates everywhere. But they
take things easily in Siam, where ev-
cry member of the household knows
how to cook. If the mother is not at
home, the father can easily take her
place, for he knows quite well how
long rice should be boiled or bananas
stewed. The little children can fry
fish or make the curry, and so are indie
pendent of their parents in this re-
spect. Whenever the voice of hunger
makes itself heard its appeal is
promptly responded to, and conse-
quently great i~rregularity prevails in
the time of meals. But as a general
rule there are two fixed meals each
day, one at about Z o'clock in the morn
ing and the other about $50 in the
afternoon. The chief article of food
is rice. In the cooking of this grain
the people have no rivals.

Great Work Accomplished by Bishop Hare
Among the Different Tribes.

1t was just a quarter of a century
ago that Bishop Hare, then a young
man Of thirty-four, left his Philadel-
phia home and went out to spread the
gospel among the Sioux.
In these twenty-five years he has
gathered a red army of the cross num-
bering owe 5000. In this mighty
band are warriors who fought with
Sitting Bull in the bloody fight where
Custer lost his life. and others who
often terrorized the pioneers in the
scattered settlements along the upper
Missouri. Blu those m~arauding days
are over. The Sioux rides on a desc
lating trail no more. The tepee has
given way to the house, the medicine
lodge to the church and the school.
This marvellous Transformation has
come largely through the self-sacrlhc-
ing effort Of Bishop Hare.
The spirit of this change is striking
ly shown in the great convocation
which the Sioux churchmen hold every
fall. From all parts of the reservation
delegations from the Ogallalas, the
Sissetons, the Blackfeet, the Santees,
the Wahpetons and the other Sioux
tribes journey to the convocatior
In long trains they wind ove1 the
hills and plains, some of them being
on the road for 10 or IL days. Now
and then there is heard floating above
them, not a warwhoop, but a hymn.
Each delegation has a banner bearing
its name. When the meeting place
is reached tents are pitched, and by
the time the c~onvocation opens the
Dakota prairie looks as if an army
were encamped on it.
Here is Bishop Hare's open-air ca
thedral. Instead of rafters the blue
vault of the sky is it's roof The chan
eel rail is a meridian of latitude. On
a carpet of Buffalo grass the altar is
raised, and before it is assembled the

and chapels have been built, and four
boarding schools.
The bishop himself left fame, for
tune and friends behind him when he
went from his Philadelphia home out
among the wigwams of the Sioux. He
was young, gifted, of high connec-
tons and had a promising future in
the Eastern church. He took the best
he had and gave it to the unlettered
savage. Perhaps the Indian did not
appreciate the sacrifice, but he learn

Typhoid Carried by Flies.

The commission of medical experts
appointed to make scientific investiga-
lions of the condition Of the United
States army camps to discover the
cause of typhoid fever in them has re-
ported unanimously to the war depart
ment that the common fly is respon-
s1ble for the infection. The commits
sion was composed of Major Lee, DR..
Vernon c. Vaughn and DR.. Shake
speare, of Philadelphia, all prominent
surgeons and members of the army
medical corps. 1t was of the utmost
Importance to ascertain definitely the
cause of the infection, from which none
OF the camps seemed to be free. The
Engineering Record remarks that the
conclusions of the commission, while
Of the most positive character, will be
received as simply confirmatory Of a
belief long held and expressed by SAN
ttarians, that insects play a prominent
part in the distribution Of the germs

soldiers, and sometimes every man in
a tent, would be Frustrated at a time.
Infection of the food was indicated,
and an increase of the disease was
noted following rainy weather, which
drove the flies to the shelter Of the
tents. Flies there were by the million
in all these camps, and it was found
they fed on focal matter from the hos
pitfalls and the sinkholes, were present
in swarms in the tents, and at meal
time shared the food of the soldiers.
Ininitesimal as must have been the
germ conveyed by a single fly, the
millions Of them carried enough to in
oculate through the food a large num-
Der of men. The report appears to be
of the greatest Importance as bearing
on the sanitation of camps in temper
ate or warm climates. No more forci-
BILE Indictment could be drawn against
the privy system of disposal of focal
matter, nor any stronger argument
framed for the water carriage of ex-
creta. The commission recommends a
new pattern of sink for use in camps,
with water connection, even where con-
nections cannot be made with the sew
ers, and provision for disinfection as
matter is deposited.

Wonderful Mutt,

The Makalahari people of South AZ
RIGA were terrified at seeing DR.. Schulz
put one of their men who was wounded
under the influence of chloroform.
When the anaesthetic was given"
says the author of The New Africa"
King Moremi and his followers looked
on with bullying eyes, and as soon as
tests were applied to prove inscnsibil-
lty, such as lifting the apparently life
less arm and opening the unseeing
eyes, the king rushed from the room
with a shrek, followed by his staff.
They hurriedly betook themselves
to a large tree at a little distance, and
done with me, who had killed their
hunter, Jacobs, for they were firmly
convinced that he was dead. Knowing
nothing of this l completed the opera
tion and came out to go home, when
Stremboom, who, hearing some suspi-
cious words while assisting me, had
slipped away to make inquiries, shout
ed to me to remain where l was. The
king wished to know before | left the
hut how Jacobs was, if he was not
dead.
Not thinking any harm, l walked
toward the tree, where a crowd OF two
hundred men had collected, when the
king yelled at me in the greatest ex-
c1tement, causing a roar among his
Mortified people that made me halt.
l assured the king, through Strem-
bloom, that the operation was success
full, and that he was all right.
Then bring him QUIT was the re-
ply.
There was no help for it. Jacobs
had to be fetched out, supported on
my arm, but he staggered from the eff
fects of the chloroform.
"'Ho! We told you he was dead!
You are only pretending that he
walks!' shouted the king. This is
witchcraft! Why doesn't he walk
alone?'
THE fresh air had by this time re.
vived Jacobs, who now, at my request,
moved off fairly well into the house.
A silence as of great wonder fell on the
people, and feeling at liberty I now
walked toward the crowd, who fed,
king and all, from my presence, as ii
the evil n in propria persona had
appeared.

recovered from the shock of the won

Magnetism has been applied in an in
genious way to the automatic holding
Of electric lamps in any desired posi-
ton. The holder of the lamp, which is
thoroughly magnetized, will adhere to
any piece of iron or steel at any angle,
so that by its use iron workers can Sc
cure light at any part of their work
without the inconvenience attendant
on the use of a torch. AS the light can
be made to shine exactly where it is
wanted, the magnetic holder is of the
greatest service when the workman
is employing the lathe, planer, drill and
other tools. Its use in boiler shops is
doing away with torches, as it can be
carried inside the boiler. For many
classes of work, especially the making
of locomotives, it is highly recommend
ed, not the least of it's advantages be-
ing that it frequently enables an as
sistant to be dispensed with.
