That man amt worth putting in a

ELEPHANTS IN A WRECK.
ghe Only Animals That Saved Them

When number of elephants are ship
ped, strong structure is erected on deck.
and they are stabbed. chained by the feet.
NO doubt in an emergency they could cas-
lily walk away with their chains and the
deck flooring. throwing the stable aside if
it offered any impediment to their prog
ress and the door happened to be shut.
Elephants fortunately are not always
putting forth their prowess, and the
chains in ordinary weather and ordinary
circumstances keep them sufficiently in
check.

turning from India with a cargo of ce-

outangs and rare birds of all kinds. He
valued the lot at $1,000. The Agra-that
was the name of the ship he was coming
home on-was swinging at her anchor off
Point de Gale, Ceylon. Suddenly there
was heard fearful crash that gave
pause to everything. The chattering. the

The Spanish method of producing salt,
as employed near Cadiz, is by allowing
the sun to evaporate the water from
what are known as pans" small ponds
prepared for the purpose of a uniform
depth of about eighteen inches. These
are flooded directly from the sea three or
four times year, and in time there is
left a deposit of about three inches of
salt, which is piled in the open in the
form of small pyramids until sold. This
method has the advantage of being mex
pensive and of not requiring machinery.
The only requisites are hot sun and a
soil which will not permit the water to
filter through, as the salt in solution
would then be lost Something depends
also upon the analysis of the water. For
instance. the water of the Mediterranean
has greater specific. gravity than that of
the Atlantic.

Raphael, the artist. was so conscien-
tious in everything he ala that he coqld
not he induced to do anything half way,
even for temporary use. Ills famous
"Si,tine Madonna" which has been the
admiration Of the world and which the
great art critics have classed among the
few marvellous pictures in existence, was
painted for temporary use-for a banner
TO be carried at the head of a procession.
Millions Of dollars would not buy this
banner today. because Raphael put the
best Of genius into it; he put immortality
into it, because he painted it just as well
as he knew how, even though it was for
temporary use.
And today in Rome, even in the cor
ners Of the Vatican, high up on the cell
ing where no one is supposed to ever look
for its existence, the traveller finds the
same exquisite touch, the same perfection
of finish as in his great masterpieces.
Everything Raphael did he did for i'm
mortality. Half done work cannot be
found i'll any of his pictures 1t would
take many millions of dollars to buy his
works today. not only because he trans
ferred his genius to the canvas in a mas
terly way, but because the minutest de-
tail is finished with the same exquisite
pains as attended the chief figures.
