BOAST OF BABY ELEPHANT.
fiirtl, OF the Creature IN Captivity Is
Considered to BE Re-
rnarI1.able.

The only elephant ever born in
America made its appearance in the
Ringing Bros. menagerie at Barbara,
Wis, the other morning. Circus men
and the keepers of animals in geological
gardens have never heretofore been for
tunate enough to secure the big ami
mails except by importing them from
Asia and Africa. 1t has always been
asserted that elephants do not breed
except in their native climate when do
INVESTIGATED. The mother of the new
baby is Alice. She has been member
of the herd for six years. Before that
she had travelled number of years
with wagon show. Alice is about 35
years old. The father is Badly. He is
more than so years cd, and is said to be
one of the largest elephants now in cap
tivity. ~ ~ &.. III
The mother tried to trample upon
her offspring. Quick and resolute aac-
ton on the part of the keeper saved
the young animal from being killed.. A
fresh milch COW was secured at once,
and, though somewhat frightened, be-
came wet nurse after few hours. The
new elephant weighs about 200 pounds,
is strong and healthy in appearance,
and bids fair to thrive. s*<#,

Exports for Ten Months Of 1907
+. Break All Records.
For First Time in History of Our Com
merce Our Exports Have Ex-5!
ceeded 100000, 800 in Value
Each Month OF Year.

The ten months of 1900, ending with
October, broke the records Of exports
for the corresponding period Of pre-
ceding years and give assurance that
the calendar year 1900 will show the,
largest exports in the history of our
foreign commerce.. The total for the
ten months is $1,194, IT'S ,205, or prac-
tically double that of the ten months
ending with October, 1894. Exports
exceeded imports during the ten
months ending with October by prac-
tically $5OO,O 900, while in the cor
responding ten months of 1894 i'm
ports exceeded exports by. 96,662,36
The year 1900 will for the first time
in the history Of our commerce show
an export Of more than 100000
value in every month of the year,
while for the first time single month
October, 100O-passes the $150,O00,-
000 line, being s1G3, 0g3,5 o1. against
the highest preceding record OF S134,-
Isl .225, which was made in March,
1900.
Agriculture, mining and manufac-
lures have Jointly contributed to this
enormous increase in our export bust
ness. The details of the tenth month
Of the year. October. have not yet
been completed, but those for the
nine months ending with September
show that agricultural exports are
$5O,000,0OO greater in 1900 than in
1899; manufactures, sec, 100000 great
er; products of the mine, 100000 in
excess of the corresponding months
of the preceding year: and products
of the forest $5,OOO,O00 greater than
in the nine months of 1899.
=: 1t is especially in raw cotton and
manufactured iron and steel, how
ever, that the greatest growth is
shown. Exports of cotton in the sin
gle month of October amounted to
over $50,0OO,0OO, against $2s,O0O,OOO in
October, 1899: $3o,oO0.OO0 in October

of the respondent the Judge states
referring to the suspicion Of collision
in the case: 555 s6s
"This is suspicion merely. Our di-
vorce laws are wisesand just. I do not
agree with those persons who occa-
sionally denounce them. The hatred,
misery, sin and crime which SO often
flow from indissoluble marriage con-
fractions require a remedy.
''Wife beaters and deserters are
quite as bad as adulterers and should
be deprived ct the opportunity Of in
fiicting further misery on their part

has as much warrant of Scriptures as
adultery.' (Here the judge cites ST..
Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians,
chapter 7, verse Is. 2s.a f
The judge says that if divorces were
granted for Scriptural adultery only
no woman could ever obtain a divorce
and in support of his view refers to
the cases of Abraham and Solomon.

The Snoqualmie Falls Power com

a novel feat in the driving of an cleo
trio motor 1853 miles distant from the
generator. All the transmission lines
of the company were connected up in
one continuous circuit, commencing
at Snoqualmie Falls, running to Seat
tie back to the falls, then to Tacoma,
and back again to the falls. The reg
ular transmission is 80 miles to Sc

The tests were conducted for ex-
detrimental purposes only, and to
show that electric transmission u OF
power can be made commercially
practical at much gre alter distances
