The tribunal of Modica. in the Sicilian
province of Syracuse, recently pro-
nounced sentence which is declared to
have 10 parallel in the judicial annals OF
Italy, as it has probably none in those OF
any other country.
\ man named Lupo Salvatore OF Co.
misc had passed himself off as IA advT-
cate and had with conSummate skill conf
mitted G;i different acts of serious fraud,
in which he succeeded in using the ma
chinery of the law. He had forged the
signatures OF the president and judges of
the high court, of the kings procurator
and of the chancellor of the court. From
this l;ist mentioned official he had even,
with splendid audacity, stolen for Il short
time the seal of the chancery, which he
needle. TO give effect to his fraudulent
documents.
The sentence is even more remarkable
than the crime. Salvatore was condemn
ed to three years Imprisonment on each
of the 63 cases, which brings the total Of
the sentence to 1S9 years, though the
longest incarceration which the convict
can be legally made to undergo is 80
years. The penalty inflicted is in each
case the minimum for the offcnsc. Had
the court decided upon the maximum,
which is ten years, the aggregate term Of
imprisonment You'd have been $50 years.

UuTWITT!NG An ELEPHANT.
A Hunter Saved by Ills knowledge
of the BEASTS Habits.

Only those familiar with the "manncrs
and customs" of the elephant have any

Massive and slow footed as it looks, it is
capable, when reused, of fcats that would

pCcially is this the case with African ele-
plants, which, though taller, are general
ly lighter than their ASiatic brethren
Moreover, accustomed for ages to lead n
wild life and often depending on their
alertncss and speed of foot for their very
existence they have acquired skill in
gymnastics which has occasionally taken
even old elephant hunters by surprise.
In illustration of this fact we are re.
minded of Il story told by one of the sports
Men in Africa lie was tout after ele-
plants" and had just fired mt and wound
ed u magnificent specimen Unfortunately
for him, he had only succeeded in slightly
wounding it, when, Infatuated by the at
tack, ii turned and charged him. 1t was
terrifying sight With its enormous
ears spread out like sails and emitting
shrill notes of rage, it camu laundering
over the ground like u runaway locomo-
tive. The hunter fred another shot, but
missed. His nerve was shaken, and,
throwing down his express rifle, he
sought safety in flight. Near at hand was
n steep hill, and to this he directed his
steps, for, being but slightly acquainted
with the climbing powers of the elephant,
he thought his pursucr might be bafflcd
by the stccprcsS of tho ascent
1t was Il terrible disappointment to find
that the elephant could climb hill just
as quickly as the hunter, nimblo runner
rs lie was. The fugitive, indeed, would
have soon been ovcrtaken if he had not
thorght Of IL really ingenious rase. He
knew that elephants never run, or even
walk, down Il steep incline, but always
crouch down, gather their feet together
lean well back and slide down just as
the fcrocious animal had got within few
yards OF him, therefore, the willy hunter
suddenly doubled and ran down the hill
again.
Quick as n flash the elephant turned
gathered himself together and, trumpet
ing with bafficd rage, slid down after his
victim. The hunter had just time TO
spring out of the way as the great beast
came "tobogganing' after him, smashing
trees and shrubs and carrying everything
before it like an avalanche. Then once
more the hunter dashed 10 the top of the
hill. while the elephant, unable to stop
itself, went carcering down to tho very
foot, whcrc, apparently feeling very sore
and disappointed, it rose and walked
YEARLY back to its native woods. -Chums
