Hunting Elephants.
From the Geographical Journal.


Near the Malkas, on the Tana river, are
the chief drinking places of the game,
which mostly live in the bara. The natives
harry the game a great deal, the Wasania,
or Wata, or Waboni, the hunting tribe of
the country, being always after them,
sharing them and sitting up over water
for them, and nearly every village has it's
game pits. The elephants are the chief
victims, as the natives, besides Arabs and
Swahilis from the coast, spare neither age
nor sex, and If the government, instead of
troubling as much as it does about the
shooting of European sportsmen, would
turn it's attention to this butchering OF
cows and young ones it's efforts at preserv-
ing game might be more effective. few
Gaflas kill elephants in a very daring man
ner, though, and deserve everything they
get They track them from water till they
stop to rest. either standing sleeping at
night or browsing under tree in the heat
Of the day. They then smear themselves
with elephant dung and, creeping up,
plunge a spear with head like trowel
into the elephants belly, slipping away at
off, the handle Of the spear catching in
all the bushes and his intestines are soon
so cut about that he lies down and dies.
The large majority Of natives. though,
have a most wholesome dread Of any dan
gerous beast The elephants on this river
seem to carry as heavy tusks as any in
the world. Out Of the tusks of four elc-
plants we shot the shortest was feet
inches, while the longest was feet 5k
inches, and the weight varied from so
pounds to 100 pounds apiece.

From the Journal Of Political Economy
Advertising is a mode of education by
which the knowledge of consuma BILE goods
is increased. 1t sets forth the peculiar ex-
cellence of novelties, keeps in mind the
merits of staple articles and thus increases
the general demand for commodities. This
method OF making the public acquainted
with goods has been resorted to because
the modern system of distribution requires
that goods be sold in large quantities. Pro-
duction increases, competition becomes
more fierce, and purchasers must be found
Business men recognize that advertising
can increase sales by increasing the peo-
pies familiarity with goods. This, bet
ter knowledge not only helps to educate
the individual, but trains him I'm other
ways. His powers of discrimination are
exercised and developed by the necessity Of
making choice between the articles. Even
the abuses of advertising ara him, for he
learns by his mistakes.
mand, sometimes directs 1t. What greater
stimulus can there be for an inventor than
the fact that a method is in vogue by which
useful article can be Immediately placed
before the public with the probability of
large and immediate returns? Advertising
fixes new staples. Tea was one of the
earliest articles advertised in England Re-
Gently the blending Of teas has become
customary and the value Of the different
blends made known.

Trading mt Mimi NoygOrOd.
From the New Lippincott.

trOu the new lLppluCOtt.
Despite the size Of the gathering at the
great Russian fair there is hardly any
noise, and to the American visitor very lit
tie business seems in course of transaction
Ignorance Of the commercial methods in
vogue gives rise to the latter impression.
When the Russian merchant contemplates
buying a bill of goods he betakes himself
to the second story OF the little shop which
the seller Of that particular commodity has
made his own for the time being, and there
buyer and seller discuss the matter over
innumerabIe cups of tea. Tea drinking Is
an important part of the transaction, a
ceremony that is never omitted. The Rus
sian does not sweeten his tea as we do
ours, but puts lump of sugar into his
mouth instead OF into his cup, method in
which 1t Is hard to see the advantage.
Very little merchandise Is sold by sample
at Mimi Novgorod. the greater part Of the
goods being actually In view. piled in the
yards Of the shop and heaped along the
wharves-countless bales Of cotton pyra-
mfds OF COW and horse hides. jars of petro-
leum. carboys OF sulphuric acid and casks
OF dried fruits scattered in irregular piles
along the water front, while the iron ore
has little island to itself on the Okla.

Telepathy Explained by MarcOni:
From the London Telegraph
Is there any action Of the brain CORE
spending to Mr.. MarconPs electric waves?
These waves are vibrations, And by vibra-
tons all knowledge is conveyed to our
cerebral center of Intelligence. We see,
hear, feel taste and smell by infnitesimal
movements transmitted along the nerves,
which take up the waves of sight, sound
and touch, and probably also we do our
thinking by the vibrations of that instru-
table and grandly mysterious something
the living matter Of the brain. A few men
of scientific distinction such, for instance,
as Alfred Russell Wallace and Prof. Oil
yer Lodge, believe in the possibility of
communications between mind and mind
otherwise than through the ordinary gate
ways of knowledge, the senses. Science
abhors the occult, and no such theory is
likely to be accepted until relation Of
cause and effect is shown. Mr.. Marconis
waves are not pictures; they are pulsa-
tions; they are not ideas, but BEATS they
strike not the operator, but the instru-
ment. If, therefore, a picture or idea of
something happening In India or South
Africa is transferred to the mind of resi-
dent in England-as has been affirmed CT
late-then there is nothing in ethereal wave
motion analogous thereto. Up terthis mo-
ment no evidence is extant that the organ
of the mind gives off electric vibrations,
and If it did we have no electrostatic sense,
like Marconis coherer, to recognize them.
If, then. there be such a reality as tele-
pathy-and by wholly unscientifc process
the name has been given before the thing
has been proved to exist-it must be en-
tirely different from wireless biography
Exactly the same sort of evidence seems
to be forthcoming, in spiritual circles, for
the prediction of future events as for init
nations of past and present, and it is per-
fectly certain that, SO far, neither Sir
William Preece nor Mr.. Marconi has
dreamed of prediction. Fortune telling Is
not science yet.
