front edges, five to a foot in the case
of the Asiatic elephants and four in the
case of the Africans.
With no use Of its feet, nothing = to
keep them worn down as they would
be kept in nature, the pads may grow
to be two inches thick, and come to
have crevices or seams in them in
which foreign matter may lodge, and
the elephant is in more danger of pick
ing up things, which may become i'm
bedded in the tough pad and get out Of
sight and work through into the quick.
The toenails also get long, and they
may curl under the sole of the foot and
they become thus more liable to be
caught, and the situation is then one
of inconvenience and danger to the
animal But before they reach this
stage the elephants feet are trimmed
down into shape. The feet Of the ele-
plants in the Central park menagerie
got one of their regular overhaulings
last week. "Tom," said Elephant
Keeper Snyder to the larger Of the two
6l6DldIIS, Ou ont VI lhC odyo WhSh
this work was going on, ''give us your
feet"
And the big elephant lifted his foot
as a horse might have lifted his on a
like request. Tom can tell you what
you are thinking about when you look
at him." says Keeper Snyder.
julie, the other elephant Ia not 30
tractable or not so intelligent, and it
takes more diplomacy and effort to
get at her feet for the work necessary
to be done upon them. But even with
the most docile Of elephants 1t takes
two men to do the work conveniently,
and, at the menagerie in the park
when the elephants feet are fixed Head
Keeper Shannon gives Keeper Snyder

these elephants would pick up any
thing here in their accustomed
quarters. whose floor they have trod-
den for years, but on this occasion in
one of Jules feet Keeper Snyder found
q die, one out of a set of dice. which
had already been worked II. out of
sight, and in one Of Toms fee. was the
bowl of an iron teaspoon, the handle
having been broken off. The metal of
this spoon could be seen when the
foot was lifted up. but 1t was imbedded
sufficiently so that 1t took quite pull
with the keepers elephant hook to pull
it out. How these two odd and curl
ously different things found their way
into the elephants cages to be picked
up in their feet could not be said for
certain, but it is probable that they
were thrown in by thoughtless chill

66e Mysterious
LhaSSa

With the hope that he may ulti-
mately penetrate the mysterious Thib-
etan city of Lhassa. Dr. Berthold Lauf-
er, who is connected with the Museum
of Natural History, New York city, is
about to renounce the world and his
friends for the solitude of a Buddhist
temple. He will leave in a few days
for Pekin, where he will settle in a
Lamaistic monastery to live the life of
a recluse and to be among the priests,
studying their language, customs and
ceremonies. He hopes to obtain one OF
their official degrees which would facil-
Itate him in his attempt to reach the
holy city of Lhassa. All the specimens
he can secure will be sent to the New
York museum. DR.. Laufer believes that
in view of the increasing commercial
relations between China and the Unit
ed States, greater knowledge should
be had OF that country and its people.
But one other foreigner has ever lived
in q Chinese temple. He was a Hungar-
Ian, Cosma de Koros, and death cut
short his labors. A number of scientific
men are interested in DR.. Laufer's mis-
sion
