was all managed by monkey fircmcn,
who took the ladders and placed them
against the burning building. and others

and crowded q great deal OF news and

than a single sheet. writing on both
sides and crossing the lines. The

infinitesimal to the nearly vertical
vast and unrestricted. Note paper OF
the ordinary width sustains but a
single word to the line, whereas three
quarters Of a century ago twenty
words might have been written In the

that cheap postage has destroyed the

LAND-PRODUClNO TREE,
1t Arises from the Sea and Adds to thu

1t Arises from the Sea ana Adds to tho
Surface of tho Earth.
Every one has read Of large islands
being produced by the mineral depos-
its of innumerable coral animals, bu:
few people know that there exists a
tree which, like the coral island, arises
from the sea and adds to the surface
Of the ear .. Some twenty years ago
a schooner, while sailing along the
South american coast. was wrecked
on a sand bank. The captain Of the
vessel CHANGED to have a number OF
seeds, which we now know were given
him as a token OF friendship Ly a
Mexican. In the confusion Of the
wreck these seeds were lost in the
sand, and, finding their way into the
soil, took root The tree which arose
is such as Is found only in the tropi-
cal countries Of America. Like mon
strous vine it crawls along the ground
and spreads with marvellous rapidity
It's huge branches interlaee and form
a surface as solid Us earth. The i'm
mense vine first grows under water
along the sand, and then, like the cora,
rising upon itself, at last comes above
the sea. The sand stretches for milos
and miles beneath the surface Of the
ocean, so that there seems no limit t.
this monstrous tree.

HEAVY ELEPHANTS
Tho Weight OF Sid Is Given ut o,e58
da

Pounds.
There has been little said about the
size OF elephants since the death Of
Jumbo a few years ago at st. Thomas,
Canada. 1t is now claimed that sid"
the giant elephant Of the Forepaugh
& Sells Brothers circus herd, is not
only the largest elephant in captivity,
but weighs more than Jumbo in his
palmiest days. Sid's weight is given
at 1888 pounds, while that Of Jumbo
was advertised broadcast as being
S.176 pounds. The latter was taller,
but did not have Sid's massive proper
lions. Readers will recall a novel
race run about year ago In which
q comparison was made between
the sprinting ability of an elephant, a
camel. horse, a bicycle and an auto
mobile. The race was pulled off at
Ridgewood Park, Brooklyn, and three
heats furnished proof that the ele-
plant racer was Sid, whose great
tusks were extended just in time to
save the day.
But Sid will win no more races with
his tusks. In fit of rage two weeks
ago at Columbus. O., he killed his
keeper. Patsy Meagher Forepaugh.
whereupon he was placed under chains
and the worries were sawed off close
to his chin. Sid furnished objection
to the saving proceedings, but to no
avail. The tusks were polished and
gold mounted and now adorn the
home Of Lewis Sells at Columbus. O.
