Baron Rosen, who will be remem-
bered by many people in this country
as having been for number of years
consul general in New York and charge
d'affaires at Washington, has just
been appointed Russian envoy mt the
court of Athens, which, from Musco-

Europe, either in connection with the

The Earldom Of Arundel.

The Duke of Norfolk has acknowi.

that has recently been told about the
chief of his country seats, the famous
Arundel castle, In Sussex. 1t seems

Arundel, the most ancient title in the
peerage. 1t is not at all likely that

and be forced to part with the castle
as valuable asset, but IL in the

more than $50 years before Christie

surveys for the establishment of popu-
lar government in the United States,
and, while the Duke of Norfolk's

his earldom antedates it by nearly as

Elephants
Feef 80

The feet of elephants in captivity
have to be looked after carefully all
the time, and once or twice year,
anyway, specific treatment is required
to keep them in order. If the elephant
is in travelling show, where he is do
ing more Or less marching in street
parades, and it may be in moving
from place to place on the road, his
feet are worn down to something like
what they would be in nature. In
such case they would have to be
regularly overhauled only once year,
at the close of the winter season. In
the case of elephants remaining in one
spot all the time, in stationary men
agerie, where they would do no
their feet down at all, their feet are
looked after twice year. A captive
elephant on the road might suffer in
his feet from stone bruise, or might
pick up stone, or took, or any one
Of forty things; or he might have corns
or have something the matter with his
toenails; or possibly have suffered the
loss of a toe nail by some accident.
From some such injury the elephant
might go lame, or suffer otherwise. 1t
might be that the foot would need to be
protected under treatment, and there
is used for such purpose bag with
shirring around the top, which, drawn
over the foot, and up a little on the leg
above 1t, can be closd around the leg
to keep out gravel or anything else
that might otherwise work in and ir-
ritate the foot.
This elephant with the sore foot
would, of course, be spared all the
walking possible. He would not ap-
pear in the parade. but in the case OF
a railroad show, for instance, he would
on arriving at or leaving show town,
limp along with that bag over his foot
from the car to the show lot, or from
the show lot to the car, by the shortest
way. Incidentally the elephants feet
are being looked after all the time;
the annual or semi-annual overhaul
ing is to keep them down to their nat
ural proportions and sonditions and
make them less liable to injury. In
Its general shape the bottom of an ele
plants foot is somewhat like a blunt
ed oval. The sole is fiat pad or
cushion, tough, but elastic, being of a
gristly or cartilaginous character.
Commonly this pad would be about an
inch in thickness. The elephants toes
do not project separately out beyond
the rest of the foot, but are virtually
inclosed within the front rim of the
foot, their presence marked by the
toenails, which are in appearance as
much as anything like big black hard

A writer in a London newspaper,
speaking of the ingenuity of wasps in
building their nests, says: Like
trained spaniel, she finds at last some
old stump or sill of wood, some fallen
trunk or weatherworn wound in grow
ing timber whereon she settles and
proceeds to bite off bits of wood and
chew them into paste. With this she
flies to the hole again, and with jaws,
and head and feet, molds the thin
drawn paste into fine gray paper, silky,
strong and waterproof. Here is an
invention-"paper from wood-pulp"
which has been Uttered before the
blind eyes of man ever since in pre-
historic ages he first destroyed wasps'
nests, but was reserved to be his ''tri-
umph" at the end of the Nineteenth
century of our modern era!

A set Of rubber tires suitable for use
on fire engine cost from $3.50 to $3.50.
There is no question about the advan-
tages of their use. With rubber tires
an engine goes less often to the repair
shop and SO Is more continuously in
commission. And If you should happen
to see a rubber tired engine go around
a corner or get into or out of the tracks
of street railroad, you'd think the ad-
vantage gained there was enough to
pay for the tires. The engine doesn't
swing or slide, but 1t follows true

How He Saved His Dinner.

In the little town of Arundel there is
taxidermist who is gifted with won
derful presence of mind. Here is an
instance:
Some time ago gentleman called at
his shop with a cock pheasant, which
he desired to have skinned, stating at
the same time that he did not require
the body. This quite suited the taxi
dermist, who thought the pheasant
would do for his dinner on the morrow.
However, later in the day the gentle
man called again and said that he
would take the body away. The tax
idermist replied that it was unusual
for customers to take the bodies away,
but that he had no objection, and he
fetched the bird, which his wife had
put on late and covered with -four.
"Ah!. Exclaimed the gentleman. ut
looks wy nice. But what is this white
powder with which it is coveredw
"Oh, that" replied the taxidermist
quietly, '"is arsenic. always cover
the bodies with that until l can dis
pose of them"
"Ar-arsenic" stammered the gentle
man. "Why, thought that the bird
would be good to eat. Thank you, I
won't trouble to take it away with me.
Good day."

UNlNHABlTED ISLANDS.

There Are Thousands OF Them In the
Indian Ocean.
If you should want an island-that is,
an uninhabited island-for the purpose
Of occupying it alone, Robinson Crusoe
like, or to use it for romantic fiction or
for any other purpose, to the exclusion
Of all others in the world, you need have
no trouble in finding one If you see fit
to make journey to the Indian ocean.
In the waters between Madagascar and
India you can find more than $1,000 Of
them, where there is not human be-
ing and where you can, If you will, be
monarch of all you survey.
An English traveller has recently been
among the small islands that dot the
western end of the Indian ocean to
make an inventory Of them and re-
ports that he counted 16,1OO and found
only about 600 of them inhabited.
Now, there is good chance for any
one who may want an island.
These particular islands are not large,
as islands 60, but very many of them
are sufficient for the purpose Of Rob-
inson Crusoe or any other novel hero
or for even a small colony of ship
wrecked mariners or other persons who
might be cast on one of them or seek
for the purpose Of making home pref
ty much out of the busy world.
Some of them are only an acre or
two, we'll elevated above the tide, while
others are quarter Of mile in diam
eter and running from that I'M to a mile
or two in length and quarter or less
of the length in breadth. Many of
them are granite structures that rise
steeply from 20 to 100 feet, well cover
ed with rich soil, through which small
fresh water streams hurry to the sea,
which they reach after flowing over
beaches of glistening calcareous sand
that are begirt by coral reefs, which
form walls about the islands.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST %, 1901.
THE DAILY BEE.

Six months ago The Daily Bee
made it's debut in Kalispell. The en-
terprise was encouraged by the as
surance of liberal patronage on the
part of the merchants of this city in
way of advertising and all the prom
Uses in that respect have been faith
fully kept.
The subscription list has been emf
nently satisfactory-much larger, in
fact, than The Bee had any reason to
expect. On the score of patron
age The Bee has no complaint to
make, but there have been other
factors which have made the publ
cation of The Daily Bee matter of
extreme difficulty. Among these is
the lack of room in the present quar-
ters and the inability to secure bet
ter acomodations. Another has been
the inability to secure satisfactory
and reliable Geographic service at a
reasonable cost.
Principally for these reasons The
Bee has decided to discontinue daily
publication for the present after Sat
urday next. The Semi-Weekly Bee
which in the past six months has
doubled it's circulation and goes al
most exclusively into the country
districts of the county will be i'm
proved in it's makeup and news fea-
lures, with view to having it supply
in the city, as far as possible, the va
cancy created by the discontinuance
of the daily.

There is reason to believe that Mr..

list of eligibles originally prepared by

The talk of Marcus Aurelius Hanna

The talk of Marcus Aurelius Hanna
for president in 1904 opens up a vast
field for speculation and comment.
1t would be an ingenious method of
getting around the unwritten law con-
corning a third term and better way
of evading that law than the fragrant
violation of it proposed by the Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew. Presenting
that Marcus should secure the nomin-
alton and election, it is but reasonable
to suppose that Mckinley would then
be the power behind the throne"
This would be no more than fair. Nc
Kinley has so long been classed as the
puppet of Hanna that about the only
means possible for his rehabilitation
in the public estimation is for Hanna
to accept the role of president while
Little Mac tries to fill the Hanna
shoes.
