Elephant and Train.

A big and ugly elephant which had
long been an object of pursuit to the
sportsmen of the Straits Settlements
one day wandered on to the railway
line and tried conclusions with the en-
CINE of goods train. charging 1t re-
peatedly and keeping up the contest for
nearly an hour. The engine was re-
versed In the hope that the beast would
allow the train TO proceed. but as soon
as there was any attempt to renew the
journey the elephant returned to the
encounter and resumed Its obstructive
tactics. The driver was afraid TO
charge the brute. lest the train should
be thrown Off the rails. and the contest
might have gone on much longer had
not the elephant backed into the en-
CINE and. setting its fore feet firmly
between the rails. endeavored to shove
the train backward with its hind quar-
tiers.
The driver took advantage of the op-
portunity and put on steam. gradually
forcing the beast off the line. In this
maneuyer one of the wheels of the en-
CINE went over the hind legs of the
animal, which was put out of Its mis-
cry by the guard of a following passen-

1t is stated by responsible medical

collectors may be the means OF dissem-

stamps. A man in his employ was a
great stamp collector and occupied his
spare time In fixing the stamps in al
buns or on sheets of gummed paper
for sale, moistening the stamps for the
purpose with his tongue.
Three hundred of the stamps were
placed In sterilized water. and with
some of the water eight guinea pigs

Tho First Tommy Atkins.

Even Mr.. Kipling doesn't know just
who the original Tommy Atkins was,
but many men In the British army
have fought battles with each other
over the identity Of the absent minded
beggar who Is trying to beat the Dutch
just now, says the New York Com
merclal Advertiser.
The ones who pretend to know say
that the first Tommy Atkins died as
long ago as 1857. The manner of his
passing was as follows: Upon the out
break Of the Sepoy mutiny at Lucknow
number of Europeans hastily left
their homes and rushed to the rest
dency for protection. On their way
they passed a solitary sentinel of the
Thirty-second foot, to whom they told
the danger that threatened, and al
vised him to accompany them, as he
would stand no chance of escape, alone
as he was. The soldier said he could
not leave his post until relieved by ono
of his comrades. A few minutes later
he fell beneath the sabers of the mutt
neers.
The story OF his death became ram
GUS, and among his comrades II be-
came the custom to speak OF any brave
fellow as "a regular Tommy Atkins

Lawton's Worst Scare.

1t has been said of Gen. Lawton rs
Of Bayard, lie ehevalier sans peur ct

known to be afraid in all his life. Maj.
Putnam Bradley Strong, who served
on the staff of Gen. Macarthur In the
Philippines, denies this. He says that
Gen. Lawton himself confessed to him
that he had been badly scared by bull
lets and that very recently.
1t happened Just beyond the Pace
cemetery, In Manila. Gen. Lawton was,
riding past the cemetery one day with.
his little boy, when number of our.
soldiers were burying some of their
comrades. The firing squad found that
they had nothing but ball cartridges.
"Oh. they'll do" said the sergeant of,
the volunteers.
Ready, firew came the order a mo-
ment later.
The bullets went whizzing over the
grave and over the stone wall, on the
other side of which rode Gen. Lawton
and his boy, their heads only few
inches below the wall The bullets
made breeze as they went past.

OUTPUT OF essseMeR STEEL
Last Years Product Reached the MAXI

Last Years Product Reached the MAXI
mum In Our History.
The American Iron and Steel Assot
citation has collected the statistics of
the production of Bessemer steel rallJ
In the United States in 1899. No aci
count Is taken OF the comparatively
small quantity of standard rails and
street rails made by manufacturers
from purchased blooms or rerolled
from old steel rails. No Clapp Grif-
fiths works were In operation In 1890
and only one Robert Bessemer plant
was active. Four Tropenas plants vert
at work In that year and all were en-
ployed in the production of steel cast,
ings. The ingot statistics include tho
production of few thousand tons OF
Bessemer steel castings.
The total production of Bessemep
steel ingots in 1899 was 1858 gross
tons, against 6,609,017 tons in 1895
showing an increase In 1899 of or 1897
tons, or over Ia per cent. The produc-
ton of 1890 was more than twice the
production of 1894 and was almost
twice the production Of 1906. OF the
ingots produced In 1899 Pennsylvania
made 3,96s.779 tons, Ohio 1870, 237
tons, Illinois 1,211 ,246 tons, other States
727, 092 tons.
The production of all kinds of Besse-
mer steel rails direct from ingots by
the producers of Bessemer steel lngots
In 1899 was 2,240,767 gross tons,
against similar production in 1898 OF
1854 tons and 1,614,399 tons in
1897. The maximum production of
Bessemer steel rails by the producers
of Bessemer steel ingots was reached
In 1890. The year OF next largest pro-
duetion was 1887, when 2,044. $40 tons
were made. OF the total production of
Bessemer rails In 1890 Pennsylvania
made 1,224,s07 tons and other States
LOIS, 900 tons.
The total production of rails In 1899
will include rails made from open
hearth steel and iron rails. When all
the figures are obtained 1t will probably
be found that the total production of
all kinds of rails was about 100000
tons.

Soap mines exist In several districts
in North America. There Is one III
Nevada, on the line of the Central ia
cihc Railroad. A box OF soap taken
from 1t was exhibited at the World
Fair Mt Chicago. This natural soap,
which fathers with ease, is embedded
as eompactly as blue clay, and the
soau mine Is OF considerable extent.
A soap mine exists at Ashcroft, In
British Columbia. forming the bottom
and sides OF a lake which contains
water strongly impregnated with bo-
rax and soda. These having solidi-
fed. the substance can be sawed out
in blocks as II 1t were Ice. Another
natural soap mine or well was discoy-
cred in Dakota. The soap is
skinned from boiling spring and
hardens by exposure to the air. 1t Is
like soft clay, and can he gathered
with shovel. There are soap banks
or mines on owens lake in California,
which for several years have been ex-
tenslvely used. Several plants yield
natural soap.

1t is well known that pugIlists, pedes'

trainers are very strict and are rlgidly
enforced. The following are few In
regard to diet: Little salt No coarse
vegetables. No pork or veal Two
meals day, breakfast at and dinner
at 2. II supper is allowed at all II
must be very light and simple one.

not recommended. 1t Is reckoned much
against mans wind TO go to bed with
a full stomach. No fat meat Is ever
given, and no butter or cheese, which
are considered indigestiste. Pies and
pastry are not allowed. Meat must al
ways be taken fresh. and not seasoned.
Salt meats are not allowed. Puddngs

THE BABY'S LITTLE JOKE.
II Worried the Fat Man, but He Tried
TO Enjoy IL.

TO Enjoy IL.
1t happened In one of the late trains.
Everybody was trying to get to sleep,
and when the voice of baby was sud
denly lifted up in robust wall II was
not met with expressions of Joy. 1t
cried steadily from Spring Garden
street to Columbia avenue. Then 1t
accidentally dropped pasteboard box
1t had. A very stout and, like his kind,
very affable man across the aisle
stopped heavily and picked It up.
The child stopped crying as 1t took
It and promptly dropped 1t again. The
man, thinking 1t an accident. picked
IL up once more. This time the baby
actually smiled, and as he threw 1t
down audibly cooed with delight. The
man looked distinctly uncomfortable
and became interested In something
outside the window. The child looked
at the box n moment. then at the man,
and, seeing nothing else, resumed his
wall, with much added wind. The
look of despair resettled on the face of
the woman with the headache, and she
gave a convulsive shudder as she felt
her head beginning to jump.
She gave one awfu! glance at the
baby and then leaned over to the stout
man, back of whom she was sitting.
MY dear SIR" said she. Il have a vio-
lent headache. and am In misery.
Won't you please pick up that box
again?' And with highly artificial
smile he complied. Out of pure cour-
tesy he became box lifting autom-
atom. his piles of adipose making each
stoop come harder. But when he wip-
cd the Precipitation from his brow and
staggered out of the car at German
town he got grateful smile from the
afflicted woman, as well as every other
passenger. that he felt paid him.
