An unusual case of guilt being proved
by a simple circumstance occurred at
Ashford (KenO Petty sessions the other
day says a London exchange. A brood OF
chickens was stolen from farm at wye,
and the police, on examining the spot,
chanced to find rortion OF pelargonium
bloom. This was the only clue 10 the rob
berry, bu. the police, on making inquiries,
found that a person named Hayward, re-
siding at a neighboring village, had been
seen in Wye, on Saturday wearing pear-
gOnlUm Tor a butuOnhQle. Within SIX nOuf 5

The annual painting of the elephants
in the Central Park menagerie was begun
yesterday at the order of Director John

Sary 10 prevent the animals from going
upon the sick list, says a New York dis
patch. In their native jungles, Mr.. Smith
said, elephants seek by instinct a pool of
water and mud and wauoW in it until
their thick skins become soft and moist.
The WalOWing Is repeated at frequent IN
tervals, so that the an,mals skin is kept
from cracking. As the elephant is not
able to do this in captivity a substitute is
provided in the painting process. The paint
is mixture Of oil and lampblack.
Mr.. White, in a communication to the
Paris Acadamie des Sciences, refutes the
opinion that aluminium Is acid-proof. Its
apparent unalterabihty is due to the fact
thar in the presence of such reagants the
metal clothes itself with a thin but con-
tinuous and impervious layer of alumina,
but when this coating is removed, or its
formation prevents, aluminium is very
readily dissolved by acids. A solution
of sea salt and acetic acid acts very
rapidly; a solution of sea salt alone will
act on the metal If oxygen and carbolic
acid are supplied at the same t,me and
if an aluminium plate, after immersion in
being cleaned the cOrrOsion will continue
for an indefinite period.
Among the many products of civiliza-

The Chabo Hiba. $50 years old, which
was sold in New York recently, went for
$1,000. That's big price for a little Japan
csc tree, which was not so little as
some of the other dwarfs, for Il stands
SIX feet high. But its intrinsic. if not
sentimental, worth exists in those eight
centuries il has hourished on this foot
stool 1t is now the fashion 10 have some

10 $40 years, standing on the table with
other ornaments and very curious, it
must be confessed, are many of these
arboreal curios. One actually sees elves
and fairies lowering among the dwarf
branches. But it is unkind to the tiny
s3tunted growths 20 put them in American
drawing rooms, where the conditions that
have harbored them can no longer exist.
They may be hardy, but it REQUIRES a
Japanese gardener 10 superntend their
diet OF air and water.
