Bostock says he WIS very poor sailor.
At the Zoo il Baltimore he was great
favorIte and rode hundreds Of Baltimore
children about the Cyelorara on his back.
This was, at that time. Sports" best
turn He was quiet but very mischieSous,
and hsc a habit of putting his trunk in
the pockets of anybody he could reach.
JostIing his keeper about his cage Ike
football player was also one Of his favorite
forms OF amusement
Sport is rather a small elephant, but he
has the appetite OF a much Esrger beast
His height is seven feet and two inches,
and he weighs about a ton and three-quar-
ters He had two beautiful ivory tusks,
but the tips had been cut on while doing
his farm work in India and were crowned
with glittering brass balls.
The principal article OF diet consumed
by Sport is hay. of which he ate about
a bale and a half a day The attendants
claim that be drinks an average of thirty
gallons of water daily He also eats po-
tatoes carrots, apples, peanuts and bran
mash
Sport" was never known TO be vicious
but once, end that was in the case of a
keeper named Burnett, who gave him a
cigarette. The unsUspecting elephant ate
Il and became sick. Some days after that
he recognized Burnett and made an attack
on him Help arrived in time to prevent
tragedy.

porous limestone or coral which affords
good drainage and probably ensures safety
from the danger Of producing aIkali. Much
OF il is already under cultivation.
The perennial flow of the streams of
this section is unusually abundant for
land requiring irrigation Moreover the
flood discharges of these streams occur at
frequent intervals during the year, but are
especially well distributed throughout the
summer"
Concerning opportunities for the storage
of water, Mr.. Wilson says:
These frequent floods afford an abund-
ant surplus for storage. and the shapes Of
the smaller parting valleys and of the low
er canyons through TH;ch the rivers
emerge from the mountains may be found
opportunities for the construction OF stor-
age reservoirs at relatively small cost The
Spaniards, who in the past have been the
principal landholders, are thoroughly IA
miliar with the requirements and processes
OF irrigation as practiced in Spain Quick
10 appreciate the advantages of the artIfi-
cial application of water, they have al
ready constructed numerous bitches Of
moderate sizes. and much Of the more val
liable sugar land is cultivated exclusive
ly by the aid of irrigation. Such works
as / noticed" continued Mr.. Wilson, cor
respond in general type to those seen in
Mexico. but because of the greater influ-
enee OF European ideas in this island, their
construction is Of a more substantial char
aeter, and more nearly approaches that pre-
valent in Spain and Italy. The diversion
works are in every instance of the crudest
kind, simple wing dams of rock and bowl
| ders thrown out into the beds of the
/ streams to direct portion of the waters
/ into the heads of the bitches These are
| necessarily carried away by each food, re-
| curing to be immediately replaced On the
| other hand, thu headworks, falls. regulat-
! ing gates, and other dividers are construct
ed in the most 81 bstantial manner of MAJ.
| sive masonry. -
"In strong contrast to this type of cor
struction are the minor distributaries OBJ
served in some Of the cane fields. These
were built by owners who had great grind
| ing ami boiling machinery Tor the treat
ment Of their cane. and were imhued to a
certain extent with American methods.
They out-AnericaHized our Western irri-
| gators. TheirOdistributaries consist OF g
| series Of temporary trestles and shallow
wooden troughs or cutters made OF lumber
/ brought from America. These tap the hill
| side bitches at such points as seem de-
| sirable. and are roughly placed so as to
/ carry the water to such portions of the
| field as immediately require ii. After irri-
| cation in such loci lities the trestles and
| troughs are removed and utilized in irri-
! eating other portions Of the same fields

RAINFALL In PORTO rico
Parts of the Island Always in Need
of Irrigation.
Benefits Derived by the Artificial
Application of Water-Much VaIu-
able Sugar Land Cultivated by
such MethOds-The Islands Pro-
ductive Value Comparatively Small

Although the Island of Porto Rico has a
less area than the diminutiye Eastern
State of Connecticut, yet its different sec
tions are subject to as great a variation in
rainfall as are the extremes Of the United
States, ranging from practical aridity to
very heavy precipitation. AS much as 40
inches Of annual rainfall is reported in
some parts OF the island, while at places
on the south coast three years have passed
without rain. And IL is on the south coast
that opportunity is offered for irrigation
but the area available is very small. Some
Of the methods in use, however, are quite

NAVAL ORDERS.

In pursuance of the emergency order of Tues

Newport, r. l., the Navy Department has issued
the following orders for the transferance of Off

This practice is resorted to in order 10
reach the numerous little detached. rolling
hills ten to twenty feet in maximum
height, into which the surface Of the sugar
lands is broken. In other localities, where
practicable, these lands are irrigated by
direct diversion from the main bitches Of
lateTals dug in the earth and ramifying
TO every portion Of the field to which
gravity will conduct the water"
Mr. Wilson does not believe that there
can be any effect on the American market
by Porto Rican production OF irrigation.
, Upon this point he says: The island is
small, and, while methods will be i'm
proved, the total production cannot be
greatly increased. The maximum sugar
production Of the island would not be a
spot even on the Louisiana crop. TO say
nothing of the immense consumption of
this county, Porto Rico's irrigation feat
ures are interesting, but they cannot in
any way affect the United States.
